THE NEW FILM
BY IRVING LERNER.

ny IN A4No
CRADLE SONG, a screen drama
adapted by Marc Connolly from
the play by G. M. Martinez Sierra,
directed by Mitchell Lessen and
presented by Paramount Pictures
at the Paramount Theatre with
the following cast: Dorothea
Week, Louise Dresser, Sir Guy
Standing, Evelyn Venable, and
Kent Taylor.
If you're the kind of person who
sheds mechanical tears at most of
the Hollywood synthetic soul stirring
dramas"-in movie language, tear
jerkers, you'll certainly saturate
several handkerchiefs watching Dor
othea Week made in Nazi-land) ex-
hibit some of the oiliest glycerine
tears that have come out of Holly
wood in decade. AS a matter of
fact, Paramount proudly announces
Gin It's publicity sent out to theatre
managers) that they have had this
play for IL years and had no excuse
for making it. The silent version Of
THE White Sister" dealing with the
Catholic Church, it's nuns and their
struggles with Love, Marriage, and
Sex, had earned all the money there
was to earn with such tale. Besides,
racketeers, high society, prohibition,
and sex brought in surer returns.
But importing actresses is an ex-
pensixe proposition. Especially those
with regulations. Dorothea Week,
transformed into Bernhardt OF the
cinema by high pressure publicity in
connection with "Maedchen in Uni
form" is noted for her "delicately
restrained acting" in that much over
rated film. Thus you see the reason
for busting off the skeleton.
In its way, Cradle Song" is COM
petent enough. 1t is well-eonstruct-
ed and highly polished celluloid tear
gas bomb. The story of life in a
Spanish convent is as synthetic as
the pseudo Spanish cottages" of
movie magnates and stars. However,
competent technical job and what
is commonly accepted as good acting
is nothing to get excited about. It's
the least one can expect from the
well-equipped Hollywood studios and
high-salaried "stars."
M. G. M. tried to beat Paramount
at its own game with talkie version
of the white Sister" OF course, it
was a flop as sure as Cradle Song"
is destined and deserves to be.

Williams and Mrs. Wright only re-
Gently finished tours throughout the
country.
These three mothers were far from
strong. They were already weakened
by long years Of toll on farms and
fields and in white peoples kitchens.
They were weakened also from insult

city, meeting strange people, appear
ing at one meeting after the other,
was not easy for them.
But the work and efforts of Ada
Wright stands forth a monument Of

said. II don't care what happens to

Suffering from various organic
weaknesses. Ada Wright yet found
the strength to go from meeting to
meeting from one city to another and
finally crossed the ocean accompanied
by ]. Louis Engdshl, then national
secretary Of the LID.
Engdahl never returned from that
trip.
"Engdahl was i'll in Europe" Mrs.
Wright said, upon her return to the
U. S. HE never stopped working. He
was always writing or speaking. Once

Ada Wright is waiting for her sons.
The other Scottsboro mothers are
waiting for their boys. We must not
fail them.

China Realizes Its Well Being Depends
On Cooperation With the Japanese

SHANGHAI, China.-It is no use sit
ting around any longer waiting for ia
pan to collapse. It Is time for China
to realize that cooperation with Japan
or with the Western nations Is essential
to the well being Of China.
Such, In substance, IS the growing
opinion Of influential Chinese bankers
some Chinese statesmen, q large body OF
students and those who help to shape
public opinion.
Throughout the Manchurian, Shang-
hal and Jehol campaigns the majority
Of Chinese sincerely thought that Il
Japan was given full rein that it must
IN the end overreach itself, that q
would rock Japan and that China, In
adopting Q program of passively accept
Ing her fate, would in the long run prove
victorious.
The fact that the Japanese we're willy
enough not to extend their military
lines too deep into North China and
that Russia backed down on the Chi
nese Eastern Railroad issue have ali
tended to change Chinese opinion as to
the proximity Of the Japanese collapse
The League Of Nations Is but q sha-
dow, and the United States will moi
hight Japan over China; thus China
can expect material assistance from nc
one. Such Is the opinion, and the
last few months have proved how true
1t is.
Canton, however, Is still In disagree
ment with this view. Not until It has

to end depression, but to relieve certain
groups of people of their obligations
and to permit the Government to spend
money recklessly. without balancing its
budget. Peace-time initiation in all his

has been. A hundred million Amer
leans can be wrong. On a dozen issues
of the past the majority of Americans
have been mistaken. the public lands
policy furnishing one example among
many. A large majority Of Americans
believe that labor saving machinery
causes unemployment, whereas in sober
fact every such improvement increases
employment and raises wages. Lead
ers of State and industry and educa-
ton are sometimes hopelessly wrong.
Consider, for example, the lately pre-
sented comic opera, democracy, WIN

by academic authority and "hlgnprow

Today we have q grievous error gov
erning the policy Of our Government
and permeating the thought OF the
people. This Is the erroneous notion
that imitation IS a remedy for depreS-
sion.
The economists have been subjected
to much criticism in these troubled
times. Admittedly there have been
some differences Of opinion among
them. Here and there some individual
among the many hundreds has pro-
posed some fantastic futility, such as
barter exchanges or stamped scrip
dollars. But to compare the steady
common sense of the economists with
the blundering ineptitude Of the lead
ers of Government and finance who
passed the Smoot- -Hawley bill ana
financed Kreuger and enacted the Fed
eral Farm Board bill and sold Peruvian
bonds and voted for the 30-hour week
would be gratitous cruelty.
Almost the entire economics proIes-
sion will subscribe to these fundamental
truths:

2. There is ample currency and credit,
now available without imitation, TO
bring prices to a prosperity" level.
g. No depression in history has been
ended by imitation.
4. There are no grounds for bel1ev-
ing that imitation can end a depres-
sion.
S. Extensive imitation, in every coun-
ty. has brought national misery.

trary, it is an arbitrary and unneces-

Intelligent Chinese who have their

question somewhat as follows: Either
China must accept japanese experts In

the West and then turn upon Japan

oddly enough. gaining adherents-

Japan's actions have been stirring up
In the hearts Of Chinese.
North China is tired Of fighting,
Nanking has the Communist menace

removed from the scene Of Japanese
aggression ever to have felt its singing
defeats. Canton remains the last bull
wark. This will In time die down, once

to appreciate the ironic humor Of this
/ approval by a Wall Street banking
house of an Oklahoma Senator's plan
for the complete appropriation Of the

coincidence Of approval that the aver
age man will readily see. The reason
| is that one of these two parties under
stands imitation. No reader needs more
than one guess as to which one knows
what imitation will really do.
Imitation doesn't soak the rich. 1t
soaks the poor. The curse of the poor
is their poverty, as has been said long

they are inarticulate. They have no
voice, no leaders with access to the
governmental ear. They are forgotten

Imitation hurts all who can not escape
its fell influence. and it is not the poor
who can.
Depression Price Swing.
1t is the nature of depression to carry
prices to a point as far below a whole
some level as the preceding boom car
ried them above that level. This is
not only the price we pay for the boom
conditions but also the means of re-
covery The bloated prices of 1928
caused the collapse. The morbidly low
prices of 1888 are the painful but neces-
sary condition of restoration. They
drain the water from such enterprises
as insults They de1ate the swollen
and unearned profits of industry and
finance. They reduce the salaries and
wages Of certain parasitic groups. They
wipe out the waste and the incompe-
tence in business. Until this purgine
process is completed there can be no re-
covery. Four years of the Hoover ad-
ministration proved the futility of at
