Director Frank Lloyd, al- though. an exponent of more than action and less dialogue, retained the speech in its full length and did not Interrupt its dramatic continuity by camera cuts. The film version, of "Berkeley Square" has approximately thirty per cent, less dialogue than the play by John Halderston which ran so long in London and New York, Howard had forty per cent of the total dialogue, Heather Angel twenty- threo and the rest of the cast, Valorie Taylor, Alan Mowbray, Irens Browne and Beryl.

"Samarang"
Not only does "Samarang", specta- cular romance drama of the Malayalan pearl-diving eountry, show
minny strange species of deep sea monsters, but it also revenis a variety of land animals rarely seen by folks who make their home above the equator, For instance, the only living descend- ant of the prehistoric dinosaur shown in its native habitati in "Samin. rang." This is the dracuma, tho-rep tile usually associated with medieval ideas of the dragon. The terrifying blasing sund made by the dracuma, and which is heard on "Samarang gave rise to the impression that it breathed smoke and fire. The dracuma in the original model of the dragon sed on old Chinese flags and is the largest lizard now in existence, attain- ing a length of 20 dect. The tapir, the cnly jungle animal that does not fear the tiger, is also seen in "Sumn rang." This fellow looks like a cross between a plg and an elephant, but possesses the characteristics of nol- ther. Mr. Tapir's hide is so tough that neither the searing claws nor the it. powerful jaws of the tiger can rend When a tiger jumps at a tapir the lat ter merely brusher off the big cat by rubbing against a tree,
