308 THE TALKING PICTURE By 1938 the Spanish Civil War was sufficiently uppermost in the public mind to attract Hollywood's attention. Walter Wanger produced Blockade, an original screen play by John Howard Lawson, which William Dieterle directed. It was a noble attempt, for the Civil War was a delicate subject, and not only to Hollywood. Henry Fonda and Madeleine Carroll, shown here, were the principals. BELOW Jackie Coogan had done Tom Sawyer in 1930. Eight years later, David O. Selznick introduced another Tom to the screen public, in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, in the person of Tommy Kelly, a newcomer who endeared himself at once. Here are Mary ( Marcia Mae Jones), Aunt Polly (May Robson), and Tom.
