The more "mortar shells our fighting men can fire, the harder we can ^ ^ hit the Japs and Germans. That.! vanjty of an actor as giving his T* HAT man Laughton's here again. x Having just come through with one of those amazing character delineations of his in "The Suspect," the braah feller now moves into hia swashbuckling armor once rtiore. We're going to aee what I'm sure most of us have long yearned to see, and that's the character of Captain Bligh of the famous Bounty operating on the ahady side of the law. For that, in a nutshell, is the essence of Charles Laughton'a role as Captain Kidd. Ha p l a y s a h a r d , rough, rugged, obscene man, an individual of low birth who lives up to the very worst possible expectations. He la c o a r s e , v u l g a r and common, yet aspires to enter bility. He is obsequious to the point of utter disgust in the presence of his betters while plotting to stab them in the back---which he accomplishes with the utmost glee and the foulest treachery. This story could have the modern setting of today, but this is Charlie's story, so let's get on with it! /f*a a Trade Secret i r What I want to know is, how doea "Cuddles" Laughton do it? No use asking him. How does a fish swim, a bird fly? No star in pictures is tougher to interview than my friend Cuddles. He has a genius for throwing an interviewer off balance with one shrewd crack brusquely tossed out. I know. * He's tried it on me. It just happens that I swing a mean bludgeon myself. We get along, but beautifully.

I have often said to myself; 'What-a pirate Bligh would have been!' A man of, such tenacity, power, self-discipline, a real master of men, could have become king of all buccaneers. "You may imagine my pleasure, then, at having a role of exactly that flavor dropped into my lap. . A Dream Come True "When Ben Bogeaus proposed that I play Captain Kidd for him, I said, 'Have you got a script*' Whereupon he placed in my hands a literary creation by Norman Reilly Raine which, in my opinion, is as fine a contribution to screen literature as you'll uncover in a month's search. And of course I'd wanted all along to play Kidd. I suspect most of us, if We told the^tcuth, would own to a suppressed' libido' 'where pirates are Concerned." "Captain Kidd" ..promises to be something more than just another Laughton film. It's an outward manifestation of something that keeps stirring beneath the surface of things in Hollywood.

Why, Laughton, as Bligh. It wasn't Clark Gable you remembered, or the others. It was Laughton. He dominated even the scenes where he didn't appear.

Injurious Insects More than 6,000 kirids of injurious insects in the United States take a toll of about one-tenth the produci tion of food and fiber crops. The I additional loss caused by plant diseases is not less than half this. Chuck Laughton, who has feelers like a cat, is happy about "Captain Kidd." Incidentally, if it clicks, it's going to make Laughton a wad of money, 'cause he's go.t an interest in the profits. Just about everybody on. the Kidd picture has a percentage deal. Other producers talk about such a plan. Arthur Lyons and David Loew have one up their sleeve. But Bogeaus is really doing it. I shall watch the future of this young man with much interest.
