TIVOLI-
"Braveheart."


Rod La ROGUE is star Of the
bill at Crandall's Tivoli through
today in "Braveheart," and, by
a coincidence. Robert Edeson Is
cast in a contributory role in
this excellent film version of
"Strongheart. the play by Will
lam De Mile in which Edeson
scored his greatest success on
the legitimate stage. Others In
the supporting cast include LII
liam Rich, Tyrone Power and Jean
Acker.
"Braveheart" is a drama Of the
red man and the American col
lege campus, and Is genuinely ro-
mantle. For the sake of the girl
he loves, Braveheart, the Indian
with a white heart, makes a ire
mendoun sacrifice. Such is the
gist of the story.

LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON
Public Opinion

yielding prejudice against the use of
tobacco is based on myth that re-
minds one Of the history of the CON-
mon tomato. In the sixteenth century
the Spaniards brought the tomato into
Europe from South America, and it
became known in Italy as Pomo del
Mort (Moor's Applet. Similarity of
sound made it Pomme d'Amour Uove
Applet in French, and thus at once
gave rise to the popular belief that
there was Something sinisterly dan
gerous' about this vegetable. Even TO
this day the tomato is avoided as a
poisonous and evil-doing plant by the
peasants Of several districts of north
ern France
He then cites several other in
stances Of popular fallacies and con-
tinues:
"It can thus be seen that popular
opinion need not hold any valid rela-
ton to what is true, and that it is
often entirely erroneous. 1t could not
be otherwise, for the majority of per-
sons lack the intellectual resources
that are necessary to the solution Of
ordinary problems.
I'VE have it from excellent author
ity that 96 per cent OF the people of
the United States are below the~ac-
cepted standard Of intelligence IL We
put aside false pride and appraise
popular opinion with the open-mind-
edness with which VIC are wont to
take up problem in mathematics or
chemistry, we come face to face with
some very humiliating facts.
Popular opinion is not the crystal
lization Of independent and self-rely-
ing inquiry and meditation; on the
contrary. it is the scum of mass re-
action.
1T is composed. in large part, Of
beliefs that cannot endure casual
scrutiny, much less the rigorous tests
Of enlightened criticism. 1t is thick
with fossilized misconceptions held in
Suppression by stultifying tradition. j,
contains the emotionalisms Of the neu
rotic. the prejudices of the illiterate
the fantasies of the feeble-minded
and the Authorizations of the common
drunk"
Does that seem too drastic a state
ment TO you? Then do a little an
alysis for yourself. How much SOUND
truth and justice do you find in Pub
lie Opinion concerning:
Capital Punishment?
Divorces?
The Unwritten Law?
Legitimate Children?
The Impeccability Of Mothers?
The Younger Generation?
And any other little matters that
occur to you?
