This is a picture dealing with the British Colonial Civil Service. | which protects 500 million pzople over an area of 13 million square miles. But the whole story is told through two brothers, portrayed by | Fairbanks and Rathbone. And they reveal a powerful drama. Both ase ranked among Hollywood's foremost actors. Sel- dom have they turned in perform- |ances equal to those in this film The picture opens with &n cx- tremely interesting series of scenes showing the British Empire from the time of Queen Elizabeth to the present. Then fo''ows the story of the two brothers. Both are members of an old famiiy whose sons have been in “the ser- vice” for more than 300 year, Rathbone, the elder, has followed family tradition and given his life in service. Fairbanks rebels at being so harnessed by tradition. But he finally goes into the service He costs Rathbone his job be- cause of a deliberate bluncer, but straightens everything out in the end® - SIMMONS OFF ON KETCHIKAN FLIGHT Shell Simmons, AAT pilot flew W.
