"ARROWSMITH.”

P

"Arrowsmith," Samuel Goldwyn's picture starring Ronald Colman as the crusading young doctor, now at the Central Theatre to be shown at 5.16 and 9.30 p.m. only for the last 2 days, is acknowledged to be the masterpiece of Sinclair Lewis who is the first American novelist over to be awarded a Nobel Prize. Even before he received that world-wide honour last year, he had been known for ten years as a leader of American literature.

The notion of writing a novel about a plague-fighting hero came to him from Dr. Paul de Kruif, the famous bacteriologist and eminent writer on medical subjects. All of the authentic material contained in the book and the picture was sup- plied by Dr. de Kruif, whose books "Microbe Hunters" and "Hunger Fighters" have been best sellers almost as popular as Lewis' own, Sidney Howard, the Pulitzer Prize playwright who has done the adapting to the screen of all Ronald Colman's talking pictures, asserted, after finishing the adaptation of "Arrowsmith," that Sinclair Lewis' method of writing makes his books ideal from the technical point of view for the screen. Their vivid characterization, episodic treat. ment and rapid action, he said, left the adapter little to do but concen- trate the action and cut out miner details.

!

John Ford, director of the famous "The Iron Horse," had charge of the production of "Ar- rowsmith," a United Artists plc- ture, for Samuel Goldwyn. Besides Ronald Colman in the leading role, the cast contains Helen Hayes, Richard Bennett, A. E. Anson, 2 Beulah Bondi and Myrna Loy.

Birmingham. "The only way to suppress the evil of mentally defective children is by sterilisation.....

"Mental deficiency can be cured by the right treatment....”

These two conflicting views were expressed at Birmingham.

Sterilisation was urged by Mr. W. Knowles at the Worcester Education Committee, when the problem of the steady increase in the number of children, excluded from the schools on account of [mental deficiency was discussed.

The matter was referred to committee to And if a special institution could be built,

Dr. Scott Williamson, the biolo gist, at the annual conference of the National Council of Social Ser- vice at Woodbrooke College, Selly Oak, said 90 per cent. of mental deficiency was acquired, and 'could, be eradicated if proper steps were taken.

"There was a case in which we prevented mental deficiency de veloping in a child of two. It could not speak, was quite silly, and ready to be certified,

"We happened to discover, that the child was suffering from an obscure dietetic disease.

"We cured this, and in two months the child was speaking. The foolishness and imbecility had entirely disappeared.

Dr. Williamson said he could quote a number of other cases which gave equally strong support to the belief that mental deficiency could usually be cured
