"THE FOUNTAIN"
Reviewed by
ED KENNEDY

"TfIE FOUNTAIN more than
1 likely will be considered one of
the better and sadder love pictures
and besides hasn't it got the late
war and many uniforms running
through it? The audience at the
Music Hall thought it a very lovely
picture-it made them cry.
An English girl falls in love with
an English officer. who is interned
in her step-father's estate in Hol-
land. Her husband, a German, is
at the front. The rather tortured
happiness Of the lovers is broken
by the return Of the husband. He
comes back from the war crippled
and very seriously gassed. The love
affair stops. and the heroine de-
votes herself unselfishly to her hus-
band. Finally he dies, a la Holly
wood, and the girl is free again-if
she wants to be.
SO you see that, on the surface,
it's very simple story and is pro-
duced to get all available tears.
Dvorak's New World symphony
forms the musical background. Ann
Harding gives her best organ tones
to the lines. Brian Aherne plays an
English officer as a cross between
Gary Cooper and rather sick
COW. Paul Lukas as the husband is
good. until he dies.
Since this film will more than
likely prove very popular, let us step
aside moment and examine it
more closely. Again another Holly

the characters are weak, futile

Strength, courage, will to cry out

Love is peace" Solitude is peace,
but I can't find it," Peace is no
good for the spirit" eff there is a
road beyond suffering I haven't
found it." Indeed!
And there you have it, a muck of
dangerously falls sentiments,
pseudo philosophy, and half
digested truth. The characters all
are living through the greatest car
mage in history and all they can
think Of are their petty personal af-
fairs and amours.
The most glazing omission from
the book was the determination be-
tween the English officer and the
German, and their condemnation
of war. But that wouldn't do for

Canton period of the last revolu-
tionary wave, was CLOSED over
without giving the slightest inkling
of its Importance. The rising wave
of the struggle of the proletariat in
cities which accompanies the grow
ing sovietization of China was not
adequately dealt with. The partisan
movements in Manchuria, which
are pregnant with such tremendous
possibilities, are also ignored in the
book.
Not that there is no material on
such subjects English, Chinese.
and especially Russian publications
are full of such information, and
the deficiency must be ascribed to
General Yakhontoff's distorted per-
spective of the Chinese situation.
EROM the point of view of writing
technique, the architectural
makeup of the book leaves much
room for improvement. The story
of the 1925-'27 Revolution is broken
up in such manner that is quite
confusing. 1t is also unfortunate
that the book should be marred by
numerous inexcusable mistakes in
the text that can be easily cor
rected. The Canton uprising was
an armed mass uprising, not coup
d'etat. 1t was not led by Wang
Ping Ga wrong spelling of the name
of Huang Ping as stated on page
II, but by Chang Tai-lei, who was
killed in the struggle, although the
former participated actively in the
struggle. Comrade Su chen
was elected the President of the
Canton Commune, but he was not
in Canton at the time of the up
rising.
The famous May 30, 1925, the
date of the Shanghai incident,
which marked the beginning of the
Revolution of 1925 to 1927, has been
carefully left out of the chrono-
logical table. The designation of
