the supporting roles. "One Hour Late" is the story of a boy who wanted to marry a girl, with seventy dollars as capital, while the girl hur | houred idens about her boss. The in- genious and exciting climax of the tim takes place in an office elevator where all the principal characters are gathered. The elevator is stalled be- tween floors when cable breaks, und when the occupants are finally re- lensed, Morrison has become a hero, won a radio contract and the girl ho loves. As for the

their others romanties problems are happily solved. Morrisen, who has one of the finest lyric tenor

voices the flies, also displays grent deal of

Youthful charm and breeziness In his, neting, that is cer- tain to endear him to feminine hearts everywhere. Excellent direction by Kalph Murphy, who certainly knows how to punch his climaxes and derive the humour from his situations; a speedy and well written story, and music by Sam Conlow, Lewis Gens- ler and Les Robin, contribute to one hour's keen and enjoyable film fare.

"Below the Sea"

At the bottom of the ocean there's a diving hell in which are a lovely girl and a scared young nun. Out from its eave comes a giant octopUK.......... the most dreaded creature of the deep. It attacks the bell, and tears away its air hose and telephone lines. And then down comes A

A brave diver with A weird weapon in his hand one of those scientific torches that burns below water as well as above. And he does battle with the devilfish, vanquishes it and cues the girl. Thrills, plenty of them. Yet that's only the topmast of a series of breath- taking situations that develop in "Below the Sea" the Columbla pie- ture now on hill at the Queen's Thea- tre Fay Wray is the girl, Ralph Bollamy the diver and Fredrick Vogeding and Esther Howard, new- comers to the screen but veterans en the stage, have the other important parts in this picture. It's an allyon- ture yarn, pure and simple and is highly recommended to those who would rather see their film favouriten move around and do daring things than sit around, and speak' wise-crack- ing lines though there are a few of those in this great picture.
