The "last word" In railroad trains is the new Union Pacide train, which recently established a new transcontinental speed record from the Pacific to the Atlantic. One of the first engines was Stephenson's Rocket, built in England.

Cinema Notes
"TREASURE ISLAND QUEEN'S THEATRE
The generations of people both young and old who have been thrilled by "Treasure Island," Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story of pirate adventure, will find the vivid story-book experiences of their youth created on the screen
in
the picture at the Queen's Theatre, with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper in co-starring roles.
Full power of the most widely- reud-fiction book about pirates
ever written has been retained in the adaptation of it by John Lee Mahin. Scenca have been repro- duced exactly as described in the book with much of Stevenson's own dialogue between the charac-, ters followed to the word.
With Beery as Long John Silver and Jackie Cooper as Jim Hawkins, boy adventurer, a cast has been assembled to bring each rover of the Spanish Main to the screen with living reality. Lionel Barry- more's blustering Billy, Bones is one of the most entertaining characters he has ever played. Otto Kruger is forceful
as Dr. Livesy: Lewis Stone's personal knowledge of sailing ships gives convincing background to his role of Captain Smollett: Nigel Bruce is a ruddy and typically English Squire Trelawney: touches of quaint humour are put into the characterization of Ben Gunn, marooned pirate, by Chic Sale.
