HOLLYWOOD, Cal., June 20.—Few of the numerous plays and films about Lincoln have dwelt upon the man’s early years. “Young Mr. Lincoln” achieves an interesting portrait not only of the man but of his picturesque and homely setting. The face (to coin a paraphrase) is the face of Lincoln, but the voice is the voice, unmistakably, of Fonda. The lank, gawky young fellow who rode into Springfield one day on a runty mule to study law is recreated splendidly through make-up, gesture, and posture. And—who knows?—maybe Abe talked like Hank Fonda, whose work is creditable. The youthful romance with Ann Rutledge (Moore) is briefly, poetically presented, dissolving into a soliloquizing sequence at the girl's grave. At Springfield’s Independence Day celebration—scenes rich in lusty colors of the past—Abe takes part in pie-judging, wins the rail-splitting contest, pulls a fast one when his side is losing in the tug-of-war, meets Mary Todd (Weaver), a southern belle who goes about with the beau Steve Douglas (Stone) but has an eye also for awkward, reticent Abe. That night a murder is committed. A cheap town bully is knifed, presumably during a fist-fight with two farmer sons (Cromwell and Quillan) of the Widow Clay (Brady). Young Abe takes on his first case—for the defense—after he has shrewdly talked a lynch mob to its senses, and he goes into A Degree in Cafeology Eating out is an education in itself . . . .

Dimond on June 6 will, if en- acted, prohibit commercial fishing | for salmon with stake nets in the Nelson Lagoon area and the arms and tributaries thereof, except by those wh ohave resided continuous- ly for at least two years within a radius of 35 miles of the locations where the net would be staked or set. Nelson Lagoon is near Sand Point. The proposed legislation was ad- vanced by Delegate Dimond after attempting to secure restriction of stake net fishing through regula- tion by the Bureau of Fisheries. The Bureau reported that it could not make effective regulation that would fit the need under existing law. The bill is similar to a law that was sponsored by the Delegate two years ago which limits stake t fishing in the Bristol Bay re- gion to residents.of the locality.

The boys haven't a chance, apparently, under the pompous attack of state’s attorney Felder (Meek). But slow-moving Abe outwits the opposition and brings the real criminal to justice. These trial scenes highlight the man’s homely humor (there’s a choice sequence with Francis Ford as a bibulous, backwoods candidate for the jury) and are handled for nice suspense. The film ends on a symbolic note (after Lincoln, accepting Douglas’s congratulations, has remarked that in future neither should “under-rate the other”) with young Abe taking a walk “maybe to the top of the hill” and getting caught in a storm. “THE SUN NEVER SETS.” Screenplay by W. P. Lipscomb. Directed by Rowland V. Lee. Cast: Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Basil Rathbone, Barbara O'Neil, Lionel Atwill, Virginia Field, C. Aubrey Smith, Melville Cooper, Mary Forbes, John Burton, Arthur Mul- liner, Theodore Von Eltz, Douglas Walton, Cecil Kellaway. ) A good "cast struggles through the hackneyed story of a fam- ily devoted, through hell, high water, and melodrama to Britain’s colonial service. The theme is hypoed by the fantastic plot of an international malefactor (Atwill) who uses his powerful mystery radio to stir up strife among nations, with world dictatorship his aim. Almost everybody else is noble and duty-bound except young Fairbanks, who joins the nobility parade at last and busts up the crooked doings. Melville Cooper’s comedy is such a relief the wonder is they didn’t throw out the others and do a story about him. The acting of the principals, apparently unrestrained in fact of forced heroics, is generously and frequently seasoned with pork. Funniest sequence has Rathbone, restrained from dashing off to duty by Fairbanks during O'Neill's childbirth sequence, cying, “I gotto go! I gotta!” In short, the sun never rises, either.
