Well worth seeing. SLAVE SHIP: What might have been a stirring indictment of Slave trading, Slavery and the condition and Status of the Negro in the South today, merely provides a stormy background for a captain (Warner Baxter) who wants to settle dawn to raising a family on a nice little plantation in Guba. DAMAGED GOODS: Important, if somewhat outdated theme of innocent lives ruined because of the stigma society attaches to Syphilis and its cure. SING AND BE HAPPY: Once again a young man rebels against a rich father and achieves fame and fiancee through crooning. Very Poor songs, incidentally. : A DAY AT THE RACES: A fine piece of rowdy slapstick comedy, even though not quite up to the usual prowess of the Marx Brothers. ANOTBER DAWN: Starring Kay Francis and Errol Flynn in a typical round of love, death and sacrifice. Ef John Chaplin Writes From Hollywood OLLYWOOD—Two recently-previewed films are the events of this week. The Road Back, characterized by James Francis Crow, of the Hollywood CitizenNews, Hollywood's finest reviewer (but not syndi- eated), as “the most disappointing screenplay of the year,” is just that. Wot only does The Road Back fail to live up to All Quiet on the Western Front, which preceded it, but it makes you wonder why the Nazi gov- ernment raised any fuss over it. The German workers’ revolution of the post-war period is so slandered in the film that you almost feel us you judge from the film alone) that Hitler was really needed to clear ess. up the mess E < by . ther side of the fence is They Won't Forget, another lynching Guin pouty. of Fury. Meryyn LeRoy directed this one, with a coat of unknowns, and for all its compromises it remains an outstanding aa Eiddie Norris (he was Mr. 100 in the original production of Emjo es oe Doomsday Circus) is remarkable in the lead, and the film as a whe e packs a wallop that we don’t often get. A big hand to Mervyn LeRoy, for one of the best films of the year. = = = * leave the subject of The Road Back, let’s record that Sees mopere head of Universal, has thanked the Hollywood Anti- Wazi League for the Defence of American Democracy for their ue stand in protesting Hitler’s attempts to intimidate the film’s actors, a hes also given the league his assurance that there is no truth to e rumor that Universal will carry on an exchange of talent with the Nazi German film industry. The Jeanette MacDonald-Gene rea eoee nuptials hit a new high in Hollywood ballyhoo: as a press stunt ee it was handled just like that), it outdid the biggest premieres in his Ory. -.. Sylvia Sidney has been signed by the Theatre Guild to do its pro- duction of Ben Hecht's To Quito and Back, on Broadway in September. = * a = ores made news this week: John, when he accepted a ee ee what he is accustomed to, in Paramount's Bulldog Drummond Comes Back (why doesn’t John Barrymore?); and Lionel, when he informed Columbia Broadcasting that he would not play Eing Lear in its Shakespearean series. Reason? The elder Barrymore finds the Bard no longer to his taste. (Perhaps he thinks he gets a better ehance to act (7?) in such films 2s Devil Doll!) . . . To make up for me loss of the Marx Brothers, who, as we said, soon desert the screen £92 the ether, they're planning to star the mad Ritz Brothers at 20th Gentury- es Directors’ Guild.

The settlement of wages and EEO conditions, following the victorious painters’ and makeup-men's strike, is going along to everyone's satisfaction. 2 Hollywood's sereen kiddies are organizing to enter EES actors’ Buel. Some are already members, with cards in their mothers Or guardians names, but the child players are now organizing (again through mothers and guardians) to have a unit of she guild all for themselves.

The Pioneer CCP club to which Blake, unsuccessful candidate in the election, belongs, moved that I be expelled from the CCF_ The same thing was mooted by the Edmunds club but ended in simply withdrawing me from the New Westminster conference. Workers of the world unite. The CCF means a federation ef organi- zations, farmer, labor and Socialist. The New Westminster conference Was all of that and stood ready to nominate and elect a candidate in New Westminster. My statements in the People’s Advocate were correct, and the following resolution from East Richmond CCF club proves it: “Whereas the conference Wears formed to oreanize the workers politically and economically, There- fore be it resolved that we urge upon the conference the necessity of reaching a common Sround for ac- tion in the forthcoming election, ir- respective of party or organization to benefit the mass of the people.” After much discussion the resolu- tion was passed by the conference. Extracts from the minutes give the names and sentiments expressed by a large number of delezates; some more prominent than others. The delesate from Pioneer club, chairman of which is Blake, spoke favorably; yet Mrs. Colley states that my article in the PA was “stabbing the CCF in the back.’ The executive of the conference did not carry out the wishes of the conference because the CCF execu- tive objected to the procedure in a letter. Although secretary of the con- ference since its inception and have performed my duties to the best of my ability, I am forced to resign because my club has seen fit to with- draw me as official delegate because of malicious letters from person or persons that have beén sent to the Edmounds club to which I belong. And then they talk about “stab- bing in the back.” L. G. PARNELL. JAPAN’S FEET OF CLAY— By Freda Utley. W. Ww. Norton. $3.75. KEY ECONOMIC AREAS IN CHINESE HISTORY — By Ch’ao-Ting Chi. Peter Smith. $3. OST of us have learned to expect little more from a g00d book than a few fresh insights, some new informa- tion, and a restatement of familiar ideas. If we get that much we are content. The books that give us more are, un- fortunately, few and far between. When we do come ACrOSS One, it is occasion for real rejoicing, It gives me Sreat pleasure, there- fore, to call to. your attention two such books. In both Miss Utley’s “Japan’s eet of Clay” and Dr. Chi’s “Key Economic Areas in Chinese History,”” you will find not few but many fresh insights, not some but much new information, and not at all a restatement of familiar ideas, but rather a presentation of brand- new concepts. The opening sentence in Miss Ut- Jey’s book reads: “Japan is puttins up a big bluff to the world.” The rest of the volume is devoted to proyvine it. Seldom, if ever before, has any- body’s bluff been called so convine- insly. Miss Utley is the peerless debunker. When she has finished her presentation, all that is diseased and rotten in Japan’s economic, so- Cial and political Structure has been eposed. What appears to the naked eye as an invincible giant is Seen, in her powerful study, to be a vul- nerable dwarf. Although armies still march on their stomachs, food is not all, and Japan has neither the bread and butter of industry, coal, iron and oul, nor abundant food supplies, nor other raw materials, Nor has She substantial foreign invest- ments to finance her purchases of at the Tiny Cooper engagement. was taking the count himself in the first round in that one, and really needed the smelling salts more than his protege.

In Spain a people is fightine for its freedom and democracy, is facing the challenge of Pascism with all its anachronisms, its Savagery and its misery. And at home, there is the necessity of Strugsle too, forced on us by the very eontradictions of the system under which we live. Yet it’s hard to realize it here on the beach, where I’m Writing this, with only the barest rippling of the Wind to mar the sea’s Placid surface. The dog days are here. Even young Hal Griffin can find time to write verse, while Bill Purvis, who has no soul for poetry anyway, can Sneak away for a trip to Harrison Hot Springs for the day without the office being in an uproar be- cause he’s not around to cover a story. Now, without any further ado, I'm going to turn the column over to Beckie Buhay Ewen, your suest writer this week. She writes 2 fine and simple tribute to Old Mother Bloor on her 75th birthday, which falls on July 18. H Canadians, and particularly Canadian women, feel a little share in grand old Mother Bloor. To us, she Symbolizes all that is courageous and worth while in the strugsles of the common people. Often have I heard our young sirls Would Appreciate Having Your Business! We Know You Will Be Satisfied! PHONE TRIN. 344 Say, “We wish we had the pep and daring of Old Mother Bloor.” She is really 75 years young, a fishter of boundless energy, with a heart of gold. I remember her several visits to Canada. Outstanding was the one She made in 1928. All who came in contact with her, loved her. You didn’t feel any aloofness in Mother Bloor. She was as much at home with prairie farmers as with city folks. TI recall the reaction of a prairie farmer who met her in Sas- katoon. “What a Same fighter,”” he Said; “if we had her ‘long with us, we'd be going places.” And when She left Saskatoon, the comrades loaded her up to her great delight with roasted prairie chickens! But it was the same Wherever she went—in Toronto, Montreal, Vancou- ver—the people just ate out of her hand. She left a deep impression through the Clarity of her revolu- tionary message, and. the fact that they felt, above all was that she Was a woman of action. Last year thirty Vancouver women went to sreet Mother Bloor in Seat- tle. So great was the enthusiasm that all women interested in the progressive movement would have gone had it been possible. They are still talking of what an inspiring time they had, of what Mother Bloor Said and did. *K O, Mother Bloor, we lovingly sreet you on this 75th birthday. You inspire us to greater effort in our struggles big and small, whether it be for more milk for the kiddies, nurseries for our women, whether it be in the ereater Struggle against War and Fascism. You have done much in your way for the building of a great people’s front that is so vital in this period. ‘We see your noble person reflected in the heroism of the women of Spain.
