The best American anti-war film yet made. It deserves to be supported. EVER SINGE EVE: Marion Davies, Hearst’s protegee, ang Screen Actors Guild Prexy Bob Montgomery in a very bad comedy about an author and his secretary. : RIDING ON ATR: Joe E. Brown not up to his usual Standard as a small town newspaper editor. SLIM: A good story and a realistic portrayal of high tension lines- men, starring Pat O’Brien and Henry Fonda. Recommended. "MOUNTAIN MUSIC: Martha Raye and Bob Burns have difficulty getting laughs out of this one. & = * * De La Rocque and the Black Legion OLLYWOOD.—\One of the last official acts of the French Premier eon Blum before resigning was to write to Wartier Bros., asking them not to release their Story of Emile Zola in France. What Blum did not add was that if his request were not acceded to, French censor- ship would without hesitation ban the film. For the Dreyfus case is too vital an issue still in France, and people there are too jittery these days. The film Black Legion has never been shown in France, because one of the hooded chieftains looked too much like French Fascist Col. de la Roque, and the government was worried over the demonstrations this might provoke. c Rene Clair, the world-famous French director, will retire from films after making two or three more (writes one of Our Paris correspondents). lair feels that films have gone backward instead of forward Since the days of silent movies. His next film will be in color, to be made for Jack Buchanan's company in London. After these, Clair thinks he will be ola enough to cali it quits. He will be 40. 1s Theyre talking about an anti-Nazi film in Hollywood again. Titled: Wot To Be Forgotten, this is the same project as Hitler Mad Dog of #urope, discussed a couple of years ago. But it seems that, once again, it’s nothins but talk. = & = = Darryl Zanuck and Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow Reactionary thoush the Los Angeles Times may be, we find ourselves obliged to quote the following priceless paragraph from a recent column of its witty E. V. Durling: ‘Alice Brady has been assigned to play part ©f Mrs. O'Leary in the forthcoming film story of the Chicago fire. Tests are now being made for a cow to play “Mrs. O’Leary’s cow’ in the picture but no suitable bovine has been found. Seems cows tested are all too contented. Darryl Zanuck is very anxious to get a discontented-looking eow for this part as he naturally reasons no contented cow would kick Over a lamp and start a fire. Mr. Zanuck is also disinclined to make an animal so generally beloved as the cow the villain in such a catastrophe as the Chicago fire. Therefore he has instructed his scenarists working on the script, all 24 of them, to include a Scene showing the cow being bitten and irritated by a horsefly. Nobody, reasons Mr. Zanuck, with the reasoning that has made him Hollywood’s outstanding €enius, cares for a horsefly anyhow.”’ Durling, who used to be in the movie business him- self, has, it goes without saying, been out of it for a long time past. = 4 = * + Japanese Films Worry Hollywood Biggest new development in the film world is a plan of the Japanese film industry to produce films in English, for export to the US and Great Britain. Japan’s film business is second Only to that of Hollywood. diuast year she made 558 features. Haruo Kondo, Secretary of the Inter- national Cinema Association of Japan, on his recent visit to Hollywood, Stated: “It is our plan to foster production of films with Japanese stories, played by Japanese actors who will Speak Finglish, the plays presented to be understandable to American and Hinglish audiences. It will have the important result of explaining Japanese life to the outside world, just as your films have shown us your national life” The project, while govern- ament-sponsored, will call on private industry for its fulfillment before the government actually goes into ihe production business. Hollywood ds plenty worried. = * 3 = * Banned Newsreel to be Shown NEW YORK. —The several] hundred people who usually find their way into New York City’s Embassy newsreel theatre on a hot summer afternoon were unexpectedly treated to what will probably go down in history as the most sensational news films ever viewed by an Am- @rican audience. : It was the first of what is to be a nation-wide showing of the Chi-_ cago Memorial Day massacre in which i0 persons died with police ®ullets in their backs or sides, after 1,500 Striking steel workers peace- fully tried to picket Republic Steel’s south Side plant.

Victoria Welcomes Mrs. Beckie Ewen Editor, People’s Advocate: Dear Sir: Beckie Ewen fave a fine address here at Victoria on Priday night. Her subject was Spain and, for the question period, international affairs. Mrs. Ewen dealt in detail with the origin of the Spanish war and clearly pointed out the rieh versus poor, Wascist versus Demo- erat, aspects of the situation. Clos- ing her address by telling of the 500 young Canadians fighting over there and appealing for Support for the ambulance fund, a sum of $25 was sent to the Communist Party com- mittee handling the despatch of the ambulances. Subsequent questions and two Spontaneous speeches by non-Com- munists, demonstrated the sympathy of the meeting to the efforts of the party. Ps Ne Victoria, BC. Who Was The Opportunist?

Here and There IN A WOMAN’S By VICTORIA POST WORLD N spite of the crisis through which the world is going at the present time, there stil] seems to be plenty of time and money for luxuries. Today as I sit surveying the yachts visitins one of Vancouver Tsland’s yaeht clubs I wonder how it is such people are oblivious to the hardships and poverty all around them. Or perhaps they are not oblivious. just indifferent, The sun is not shining today—it is as if it were frowning on such a display of opulence — frowning to think of the terror pouring from these same skies beyond the sea, while these Magnificent yachts lie peacefully at anchor with calm water lapping at their sides. On the same blue Pacific Amelia Earhart and her navigator are lost waiting with desperate hope that help will come in time.

NEW YORK. — (FP) — House- Wives and mothers can get infor- mation about food, clothing and other consumer goods through the medium of films. The Film & Photo League, New York City, has completed the first of a Series of sound films called Get ting Your Money’s Worth, deal- ing with fraud and misrepre- sentation practiced upon the con- sumer. There is sound com- mentary as well as a musical score. Arthur Kallett and his as- Sociates of the Consumers Union were technical supervisors. N°’ that Sane is here (is it?) you may be glad of a quick cool dessert, which is also economical, as it uses up odd leftover Scraps of cake and fruit. Put alternate layers of fruit and cake (preferably sponge) in a deep dish, soak the cake with fruit juice, and cover the whole with one pint of custard. Decorate with nuts and Whipped cream. ‘This dish may be served hot or cold, and takes very little time to prepare, as the custard, if made fairly thick, sets quickly. FMPB Office Is Opened In City The Vancouver office of Friends of the MacKenzie-Papineau batta- lion in Spain has now been estab- lished at 615 West Hastings Street, With J. GC. Chivers, also a membei- of the Wx-Servicemen’s League, in charge. ; The hundreds of friends of this battalion, composed of Canadian men, fifty of whom are from BC, may now contact this office for in- formation and utilize it as the pro- vineial centre for forwarding funds to buy comforts for the anti-Fascist fighters. All monies received are immediately sent to the national committee in Toronto. Various opinions haye been aired, and it is noticeable that most of those opposing divorce have criti- cized those favoring it for not being able to carry out a bargain. Such Jetters, how ever, have not taken into consideration the eircumstances under which these so-called bargains have been made. Most of the writ- ers were men and, therefore, I don’t need to say any more than that the Women's side is always the hardest part of a bargain such as marriage. This controversy arose out of the discussion of A. P. Herbert's divorce bill. Many of you will have read his book, “Holy Deadlock,” which shows up the farce which has to be gone through to obtain a legal divorce. *x OUR guest writer last week, Mrs, Beckie Ewen, is at present on a tour of Vancouver Island to raise funds to send tio fully equip- ped ambulances to Spain.
