KIPLING PICTURE AT KING'S
Presented by an impressive cast, headed by Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore and Melvyn Douglas Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's screen version of Kipling's "Captains courageous opens to-day at the King's Theatre. Coming from the studio that has given to the world such a powerful epic of the sea as "Mutiny on the Bounty." this Kipling masterpiece attains even greater heights in its visual and audible treatment.
M-G-M acquired a sturdy Glou- cester schooner off the Grand banks, with her 'weather-beaten master and crew, sailed her down through the Panama Canal to the Paclic and there made the batter- ed vessel a movie star. But first they shot tremendously impressive sequences on the Atlantic from Newfoundland down to the West Indies.
Freddle Bartholomew crowns his brillant young career in the role of the rich American boy who is swept from the deck of a liner in gale off the Grand Banks, rescued by a fishing, crew, and trained to the life of the hardy men of the sea. Spencer Tracy, as the Portu- guese fishermanis magnificent and Lionel Barriere gives an extraordinary performance Captain. Disko, skipper of schooner. "We're Here."
