The acting of young Dorothy Wilson
Is also one of the things you will en-
JOY. Miss Wilson is normal looking
young woman, with big brown eyes
and a nice smile. who is probably ex-
actly right for the part she has been
called upon to play. While we admit
not having heard of her since Hardie
Meakin Uttered our desk one day with
information about the r. K. o. typiSt
who had turned Hollywood Cinderella
she must have been taking lessons in
the drama from some West Coast Cliff
ford Brooke, SO expert is she In her
emotions, and SO free from either artlf-
ciaiity or misunderstanding.
Although our companion vowed last
night that she is not the sort of per-
son the average man would fall Tor or
fight over, we beg to disagree With nm.
and suggest that if, in the first part OF
the film, she appears only as a hght-
weight beauty as the picture progresses
she attains both wisdom and looks, and
ends up as the sort of person IN whose
honor any one, from Beau Brummel TO
Max Baer, might do little flStlcufflng
One of the chief faults with the MIN
Is that you can never imagine 1or one
minute that Arrowhead Lake is lake
in Switzerland. Hence the foreign at
mosphere falls miraculously fiat. When
that train comes numbering into the
station with excellent actor, Walter
Connolly, as part of its cargo, you are
struck by its falsity and by the folly OF
showing such HOLLYWOOD railroad stooges
when the train is meant to be far on
in the rock bound, snow-capped hills OF
Switzerland.
This atmospheric blunder and some
of the later scenes in the girls school
when the young ladies discover that
"little stranger" is soon to be with them
have a disturbing way of turning the
picture over on its ear More belleVaole
are the scenes between Miss wilson ana

I'VE SAW IT FIRST

Under that caption, the Miami
Herald on Tuesday ran an editorial that
wins the first prize, the blue ribbon and
the grand prize in the Hall Of Gall.
The editorial was about free port
1.-THE Herald evidently doesn't know the
proper designation for a place where car
goes are stored without the requirement
for the immediate payment of dutiesl, and,
like the German superman Of 20 years ago,
Miami, the supercity, superciliously turns
its back on other cities in Florida, which
aspire to the establishment of free zone
(not port, as the Herald as persistentiy
called it, for there is no such thingl. and
depreeatingly sweeps back its hand, as
though to say, You other cities go way
back and sit down: we saw it first"
The fact is, and the Herald knows it to
be fact, for it has published stories about
it, time and again, Key West began move-
ment IL years ago to try to have free
zone established here, and five years ago,
as also was published in the Herald, a
thorough survey was made and map
drawn for proposed free zone in Key
West.
I'VE do not want to appear boorish
about this business says the Herald, s'but
sifseVery other harbor authority in Florida
Is going to try to grab the bone we. saw
first, there won't be any free port z
" Among the places the Herald mem
toned were Jacksonville, Port Tampa and
Palm Beach. that were after free port, !"
but the Herald was careful not to mention
Key West, because the Herald. though hav-
ing enough gall to be boorish or ridiculous,
didn't have sufficient gall to be untruth-
full because the Herald knew that Key
West had started free zone movement
before Miamians generally knew that any
such thing existed
A free port is suitable only in place
which can be entirely insulated against
smuggling" the Herald says further. and
intimates that the only place in Florida is
an island in Biscayne Bay, for it is said
further, "That is the reason the island at
the entrance to the main ship channel lead.
ing up to Miami is about the only logical
free port site in Florida
The Herald intended the latter state
naent either as bluff or joke, and The
Citizen believes it was intended rs bluff
Ia bluff sufficiently barefaced to stop
Key Westers from declaring that there are
dozen islands within stones throw of
Key West, so to speak, that are better fit
ted, because Of deeper water. than any is
land in any part Of Biscayne Bay.
Finally, whether q joke or bluff, The
Citizen itches to tell the Herald where to
get off, but refuses to do so, because The
Citizen is firm believer in the dictum (Is
it 4 dictum?) that spirit Of amity should
govern every newspaper in its dealings
with another.
