“CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS.” Presented by an impressive cast, headed by Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy, Lionel Barrymore and Melvyn • Douglas, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's screen version of Kipling's “Captains Courageous,” will be shown tonight, at the Cosy Theatre. Freddie Bartholomew crowns his brilliant young career in the role of the rich American boy who is swept from the deck of a liner in a gale off the Grand Banks, rescued by, a fishing crew, and trained to the life of the hardy men of the sea. Spencer Tracy, as the Portuguese fisherman, is magnificent and Lionel Barrymore gives an extraordinary performance as . Captain Disko, skipper of the schooner, “We’re Here.” Melvyn Douglas offers a sympathetic study of ■ Freddie Bartholomew’s father, and a uniformly excellent supporting cast of players includes Charley Grapewin as Uncle Salters, Mickey Rooney as Barrymore’s son. Jack Laßue, John Carradine, Walter Kingsford, Donald Briggs and others too numerous to mention.
