"I; Timmins getting better?" asked Magistrate Atkinson on Tuesday night when the Roard of Polisce Commissionâ€" ers held its regular monthly meeting in the committee room of the municipal building.

After 9000 items had been tried as light filaments, all failures, someone remarked at his lack of progress and he replied, ‘This is progress, I now know 9000 things that won‘t work.‘ Slept Four Hours : Tracy further points out that when Edison was learning telegraphy at eighteen, he practisced as much as eighteen hours a day and that early in life he began sparing only four hours a day to sleep saying there was so much to do and so little time in which to ao it that he had to hustle. ~ "Edison always said time was the most preciou:s| thing in the world because it was the only thing money couldn‘t buy," Tracy states.

He even visualized talking â€"_â€"pictures away back in 1878 and actually proâ€" duced them in 1812. He relied much on common sense; once when a matheâ€" matician had worked for several days trying to find the cubical content of an electric light globe, Edison poured water into a globe and told the man if he would then measure the water he would find the answer. "And above all, he was human. He liked parchesi and avoided complicatâ€" ed games. He loved baseball and was a ‘cut up‘ while romping with his children. He seldom read newspaper stories about himself but subscribed to a clipping service for jokes, which he ‘"He never cared about clothes as adornment and chose to spend his salary on books and aparatus," the star says!.

Among the many aramatic scenes which unfold in the film none equals for thrills and excitement, the bloody battle which occurs when the Olive Branch is attacked by an English naval vessel on the high seas. In those days, warriors used rifles, sabres and pisâ€" tols to demolish each other, and ships were a mass of ropes, sails, masts and hatches. Thus, filming these scenes even with proper weapons, provided the pictureâ€"makers with many pitfalls and hazards, as hundreds of extras were employed and the fighting wasn‘t faked. It took six weeks and fifteen experts to rig the good ships, "Olive Branch" and "Beetle" for "Captain Caution," with five complete masts with depenâ€" dable rigging over which the extras could scramble without casualties. Globe and Mail: Official report that "all" Canadian soldiers who left for England arrived safely brings assurâ€" ance to the people of this country that the sea lanes about Britain remain open and are well protected. "Captain Caution" was directed by Richard Wallace and its actionâ€"filled story unfolds against the background of the War of 1812, when many excitâ€" ing battles were fought bitterly on the open sea. Its story focusses on the American merchant vessel The Olive Branch which is homeward bound from the Orient when the war breaks and is captured by the English. A great battle ensues and the Captain is killed, After a series of exciting episodes, his daughter Corunna gets the ship back and takes over Under her captainship the Olive Branch sails the high seas to France, becomes involved in a hiâ€" jacking venture through the machinâ€" ations of a wily slavetrader and is finâ€" ally saved and returned to her Ameriâ€" can port. loved to tell.

Yes, he was truly a great human being and it‘s a privilege to have played him on the The story revolves around the roâ€" manes and adventure in the lives of Victor Mature, portraying the title role and Louise Platt, playing a high spiritâ€" ed girl, who takes her father‘s place as captain of the Olive Branch when he is killed in a sea battle. As Corunna, dauntless seafarer Miss Platt is seen in her first starring role, a role which is intensely dramatic and gives her a fine opportunity to display her outstanding talents as a first rate Thespian. Victor Mature, well known as a new Hal Roach star and seen in such produsâ€" tions as "The Housekeeper‘s Dauzhter‘" and "One Million B.C." plays the male lead in the film and for the first time is seen in a romantic, rather than a heavy role. In "Captain Caution," a United Arâ€" tists release, Victor Mature and Louise Platt share stellar honours. The supâ€" porting cast includes Leo Carrillo, Bruce Cabot, Vivienne Osborne, Robert Barratt and Miles Mander. ‘"Captain Caution," <Hal Roach‘s sweeping sea epic, was filmed from the famous noâ€" vel by Kenncth Roberts.
