Based on‘ the old Drury Lana mil- odrama first produced almost a cen- tury ago, “The Whip" is brought “P to date in settings and dress and its multidinpus thrills are magniﬁed by modern technical skill and photo- graphic ln8enuity.

It all revolves around a horse-race. of course, as the title indicates, with a great deal resting on the FY0961‘ horse's winning the big derby and a great many people interested" one way or another in having it either win or lose. There are plots and counter-plots, divers bits of conniv- ing and last-minute suspenses, per- fectly handled through the direc- tion of Charles Brabin.

Dorothy Mackalll brings her beau- ty and charm to the leading femin- ine role and Ralph Forbes proves an excellent‘ foil in the masculine lead.

Anna Q. Nllsson is particularly striking as the beautiful and schem- ing "vamp" and Lowell Sherman contributes another ‘of his delight- fully villainous "heavy" characteri- zations. Outstanding in the cast are Marc .McDermott, Art Gran, Arthur (llayton and others.

The Jamboree is really too trem- des- cribe. Tlkere is so much to do and see, that, one gets bewildered. Arrow Park is a beautiful old English estate, now public. You can imagine it has to be pretty big to take some 50.000 scouts camping on it. Our Canadian section is at one end.

Two of the biggest events so far have beemwhat they call the “March Past", where ‘all the contingents in alphabet- ical order march around the huge arena’ and past the Grand Stand. where the salute is taken. On the opening day it was taken by the Duke of Connaught. on Friday by the Prince of‘ Wales. That perhaps was the brightest spot of the whole thing. 1m- pressive ‘does not begin to describe it. The Americans led, having A as their letter, 1500 of them. We came right behind the Belgians.

On Sunday morning some of us went to an early celebration 01th; Holy Communion at ‘M5 in the church tent. It is a large marquee. and was crowded to the doors. At i1 o'clock we marched over to the arena where there was an immense operi air service addressed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. There was a very impressive moment in the service, when the Archbishop in tho course of his address laid his hand on the bored head of Sir Robert Baden- Powell referring to him as a soldier. who 2i years ago dreamed a dream. Today he said, "Behold the dreamer corneth and he comes not alone, but with _a comradeship of nearly two million boys belonging to 41 coun- tries. His dream has become one of the greet realities of the world. I prey that God's blessing in fullest measure, may be upon him, and upon the world wide company wherein his dream has been fulfilled.
