In spite of the alluring Dorothy Lamour being present the picture ia a rowdy, rough snd tumble one wvB worth anyone’s time Georgs Bnft is cast in the role of a swashbuckling and lawless sea man who with Dorothy Lamour, the owner of an Alaskan fishing village hotel form the chief dra matic cast of the picture. Although Miss Lamour is minus none of her appeal she is out- shown completely in some scenes by the acting of Louise Platt, who also played opposite Henry Fonda in “I Met My Love Again” and whe plays the part of John Barry more's daughter. If one’likes to see smooth fast actioB mixed in with top-notch dramatic action then this is a picture well worth his time. TRae Leu" aad The BW' b. the All Star Band.

BOly : Radio has a long way te go before it can win sp<* al compliments on the excellence of its educa tional programs. That expresses the summarisation of results of a survey made by W. W. Bird, who won a doctor's degree at the University of Iowa for his research. After analysis of programs for whteh educa- tkmal merit was claimed by the National Broad casting company aad the Columbia Broadcasting system, Dr. Bird drew theee conclusions: (1) Programs, when measured by established educational criteria, where “appreciably below standard." (2) Educational claims of sponsors were not suhetantiaMd. , x (8) ] He need for a re-examination of educa tional philosophy of broadcasting was revsuled. .(4) The necessity of reemploying trained ex- Peris to prepare and direct educational programs according to recognised educational theory and prac- tk* was clearly ladicated HELP CUPID ALONG WITH A NICE NEW “ARROW” If you want to keep on the right side of' Coped this fine Valentine’s Day, you’ll spruce up with a hand some new Arrow Shirt.
