DEAD END ( 1937 ) 299 With Victor Fleming directing, M-G-M produced a film version of Rudyard Kipling's epic of New England, Captains Courageous. Spencer Tracy won an Academy award for his performance, while Freddie Bartholomew proved that his success in David Copperfield had been no accident. They are shown here, with Lionel Barrymore handling the binoculars. Sidney Kingsley's dramatic hit, Dead End, was brought to the screen by Samuel Goldwyn in 1937, with settings that were a faithful extension of Norman Bel Geddes' original set. William Wyler was the director. The Dead End kids, who had been such a striking feature of the play, were brought to Hollywood en masse. They appear in this scene with (at the left) Joel McCrea and Wendy Barrie.
