Anthony Coldeway who wrote this thrilling story evidences his understanding of the way in which erring humanity "can rise to the stature of the gods when confront- ed with the misery of his fellow men. "Draegerman Courage" is a melodrama of the mines-telling how the men entrapped in bowels of the earth are brought back to the sunlight by the self- effacing bravery of their fellows.

"Star of the Circus," is a draza of the Big top, but of a type quite' different from previous circus stories, for the action all "takes place during a single performance and many famous acts of the entertainment world will be intro- duced as a background to the main plot.

The anal subject for production has not yet been titled, but produc- tion plans are in an advanced stage, and Mr. Mycroft plans that work on this subject will be started Immediately..

From the foregoing. R will be seen that Associated British are destined to enjoy gne of the buslest periods of activity in the com- pany's history, and that there will be no slackening off in production with the New Year, is shown by the fact that tentative arrange- ments have been made for ten new, subjects to go into production fal- lowing the completion of the seven mentioned here.
