A teen-aged sleuth sets out to prove a young girl innocent of murder charges.
Plot: A scientist traps criminals on a boat in order to experiment upon them.
Review: Despite its short runtime, this film feels like an overlong slog, with terrible writing, bland performances, and little of technical value.
Source Material: "A Thousand Deaths" by Jack London
Year: 1939
Genre: Psychological Horror, Sci-Fi Horror
Country: United States
Language: English
Runtime: 57 minutes
Director: Victor Halperin
Writers: George Sayre, Harvey Huntley
Cinematographer: Jack Greenhalgh
Editor: Holbrook N. Todd
Cast: Irving Pichel, Lyle Talbor, Julie Bishop, Sheila Bromley, Anthony Averill, Russell Hopton, Julian Madison
------
Story: 0.5/5 - A series of tenuously connected scenes that feel like they were written by someone who has never read a story before.
Performances: 1/5 - Pichel's portrayal of a morally dubious scientist is generic. Everyone else ranges from unmemorable to downright horrible. Baffling accents abound.
Cinematography: 2/5 - Flat.
Editing: 1.5/5 - Very little flow between scenes. Lots of extremely abrupt transitions.
Sets: 1/5 - Wildly cheap. Many rooms do not look like they're on a boat at all.

The most glamorous date in the UK's theatre calendar is almost upon us. The Olivier Awards see the great and the good of theatreland being recognised for their sterling work throughout the year. Here's a break down of everything you need to know about this year's ceremony.

Is there a red carpet?
Yes. The red carpet opens at 4pm and closes at 5.30pm.
Where can I watch it live?
The short answer to that is, if you're not there, then you can't watch the magic as it happens. But you will be able to hear it being broadcast live on Magic Radio.

Yes. It will be broadcast on ITV after the end of the ceremony, with an exact time TBC.
Who is hosting?
This year comedian Jason Manford returns as your host for the evening. He's gearing up for his appearance in Curtains in October in Bromley and we're hoping he'll bring some song and dance pizzazz to proceedings.

UK: School cancels Balfour poetry contest that fails to mention Israel
Via The Jewish Chronicle:
A Kent grammar school has abruptly withdrawn from hosting a poetry competition marking the Balfour Declaration centenary which only asked for submissions on the theme of Palestine.
St Olave’s Grammar School in Orpington announced in its June newsletter that it would hold an international poetry competition on November 2.
The competition, sponsored by The Balfour Project, Shortlands Poetry Circle and Bromley International Cluster, is open to students aged between 10- and 18-years-old from “all faiths and none”, and will award £500 to the winner.
The school was contacted by Board of Deputies vice president Sheila Gewolb over why Israel was not mentioned.
Headmaster Aydin Önaç told Mrs Gewolb that the school was “simply hosting the competition”. (...)
But when contacted by the JC on Wednesday, the headmaster said the school was no longer hosting the event. He declined to comment further.
