Discerning Critic

United States Senator John s.
Cohen Of Georgia, has a son who
is a top, notch New York movie
critic. He is John s. Cohen,
jr., of the New York Sun, and I
take if after reading many of his
reviews that he likes the movies
best when they are doing their
serious things, telling stories
which appeal to the intellectual
audience. - r
A colleague on the Sun is Ward
MorehouSe, columnist Of the
drama pages. Morehouse sold a
story to Warner Brothers, Cen
tral Park" one Of those wild,
fantastic fictions with a good
Mack Sennett sequence, wherein
lion is turned loose in the
fashionable Casino restaurant
with everybody doing mad
scramble for safety.
In the course of his official
duties it fell to the SUMS critic
to review the Sun columhist's
movie as produced by Warner
Brothers. What did he do? Well,
he gave it a good notice, sure
enough. Proving that he's a good
Southern gentleman or that "Cen-
tral Park" is good, entertaining
movie. I'll make up my mind
next week when it comes to the

Paramount Buys

Lack of Friendliness

EaSN Ot@ tIlSI1GIHIOSSs
Also, there are other and
more concrete reasons. The
utter lack Of any sort Of
friendliness In Paris, for
example. Everything is take,
take, take. When you meet an
American who lives over here,
you can see he is wondering
what your racket is and how
much 1t will take to outsmart
you. I excuse such Americans,
however, on the ground that
they must have had plenty OF
unfortunate experiences with
visiting Americans in order to
get them that way.
= About the Partisan attitune
toward the American, there can
he little or no question. From
the haughtiest head waiter to
the lowliest shop clerk, they
are firmly convinced that any
American is q cross between an
idiot and a bar Of gold. From
the moment you set foot IN
Paris, you are expected to give
far, far more than you can
possibly hope to receive.
Mind you, I am speaking
only Of Paris and not Of
France as a whole. I found
things to be different in other
parts Of France, although the
larger cities are learning rap-
idly. Let's say that, outside Of
Paris, they consider us half
wits instead Of complete idiots.
j might as well give us a break
while I'm at it.
Can I offer concrete ex-
eInpleS Of why I speak this
way? Yes, I can-but I'd
rather not go into them. After
all, such a situation must be
Sensed rather than tossed IN
your kiSSer. And. believe me,
brothers and sisters, I've done
plenty Of sensing.
Their Worst Side
Deep down.. I do not blame
the Parisians entirely for the
present state of affairs. For
years and years and years
Americans have been visiting
FariS on q holiday. They have
shown, not their best side, but
their orst. They have tossed
money away on things that
could have been bought far
more cheaply in New York.
Thew haze been lavish, not so
much in tips, but in the pur-
chase Of q Paris label.
Thus, the Partisan has judged
the whole by the part. Your

Morgan at Senate Investigation
Admits Possessing $338,OOO,OOOm
Cold Cash; Paid No Income Taxes
by w Davis Democratic Candidate President
1924 Senator Glass Thanked by Morgan for His
Support, AS Glass Threatens to Move "Curtailmen

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 23.-
Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee today, j. P. Morgan, senior
partner of j. P. Morgan & Company
revealed that he had declared to the
Federal government that he had no
taxable income during the years 1890
1931-1932. During the last three
years, j. P. Morgan, one of the most
powerful capitalists in the world did
not pay cent of income taxes.
None of the j. P. Morgan partners
paid any income taxes. The income
tax returns of the Morgan firm were
accepted by the government with
out explanation" the Senate COM
mittee attorney said. 1t was also dis
closed that his firm had arranged
its income tax returns in such man
ner as to show bookkeeping loss
Of S21 OIL 1862 for two-day period in
1881, although the losses were not ac-
tually sustained in this period. This
two-day loss permitted an enor-
nous reduction in tax payments.
This information was drawn from
Morgan with some difficulty and
