If one were asked what he considered Charles Laughton's most characteristic performance, his mind would probably jump at once to Henry VIII, pause, pass on to Ruggles of Red' Gap, and finally come to rest at Captain Bligh of the "Bounty." Probably Bligh expressed most fully that element of saturnine menace which is never absent from any of Laughton's impersonations.
At any rate, Frank Lloyd, who directed. "Mutiny on the Bounty," thinks there is a lot more of Laughton appeal to be got out of the character in the story. Lloyd is now, Wirecting for Universal, and will {nake a sequel to the Bounty as his first effort in his new home. In this Laughton will once more play the, true captain.
The sequel will deal. with the nemesis which overtook Bligh aft the "Bounty" incident; how he was court-martialled and disgraced. In all probability, this sequel will gi lively satisfaction to those who remember acutely the earlier picture and believe that @ right attitude towards life demands the punishment unusually unpleasant kind of "villain."
