Jack Halt cheerfully admits that if he hadn't accidentally started in the film industry he might now be a vagabond.
Holt, whose new Columbía pic ture, "Behind The Mask," is due Thursday at the Queen's Theatre, has had an exciting and adventur- ous career. Before going into the movies, he was Eiterally a Jack- of-all-trades."DE
After graduating from a military academy in his native: Virginia, Jack studied to become a civil en gineer. But he soon decided that engineering was not the life for him, and left for the, great North-

London, Feb. 22-The favourable, showing for the past year made by Courtaulds, the leaders of the rayon industry in this country, is indica- tive of the improving prospects of the industry as a whole. It is true the improvement is slight, but there are signs of increasing activity, al- though there is still room for a much brisker demand.
Speaking at the annual meeting Inst March, Mr. Samuel Courtauld told the shareholders of Courtaulds, Limited, that he saw no tangible reason for expecting a worsening of the then existing conditions, al- though he would be surprised if they improved very much.
Generally speaking, those more hopeful views have been borne out,
