London, Feb. 12, Last week 'came the London presentation at the Tivoli, follow- Ing the Paris premiero ten days ago, of the Tooplitz film, "Tho Dictator'. Anticipation had re high over this picture of Eigh- teenth Century Copenhagen. In the first place, it was known to have cost over £100,000 to make. In the second place, it took a pro- digious long time in the making. in the third place, it boasted a | staff of technical experts gathered from all parts of the world, and the celebrated Mr. Clive Brook was ropatriated from Hollywood to play the title role opposite Miss Madeleine Carroll.

COOKERY NOTES

"The Dictator" is the sad little story of an ambitious but public- spirited Hanburg doctor, by name of Struensee, who becomes en amoured of the young Queen of Denmark, Caroline Matilda. After having cured the King of Denmark of his colds, and freed the people from the salt tax, the bread tax and sundry other dis- abilities, he arrives eventually on the scaffold, where he dies, we presume, like a gentleman and a Hamburger. Signor Tecplitz is certainly an inspired Investor of money. He puts all his cash on a Alm, not in it. Every scene gleams and glows, the stars flash Jowels, the marble staircase of the Danish palace is, and looks like, the biggest set over erected in a British studio. "The Dictator" is in short an opulent picture, in full court dress with decorations.

ACCIDENTS IN POTHOLES

RESCUE CORPS IN YORKSHIRE

Skipton.

A voluntary rescue corps to deal with accidents in the caves and potholes of north-west Yorkshiro has been formed. The corps fa representative of all the

potholing clubs in the North of England, and Its members have a extensive knowledge of the difficulties likely to be met with in this case of rescue work.

The corps was officially formed at a meeting at Settle on Satur day, under the chairmanship of Mr. E. E. Roberts, of Leeds, and the clubs represented were the Yorkshire

ire Ramblers Club, the Craven Pothole Club, Skipton, the Northern Cavern and Fell Club, whose members are chiolly recruit- ed from Lancashire, the Critstone: Club, the Leeds Cave Club, the Moor and Fell Club, York, and Giggleswick School, whose boys do a certain amount of potholing.

The descent of potholes and caves in the great depths of the limestone which lies beneath the Craven fella has for many yours been the pastime of the few, but the adventure afforded is now at- tracting many others, and to the uninitiated dangers are to bo on- countered which might result in serious accidents. Potholera are becoming alarmed at the casual- ness with which cycllats and ramblora venture the descent of a cato or pothole without having the necessary equipment and experi- ence to enable them to overcome the difficulties they will meet. The removal of an injured man from the underground caverns is a dif- ficult undertaking, as there narrow and tortuotia passages through which only a slim person can crawl, and pitches which even in daylight would be regarded as n severo test for the rock-climber.
