Here. perhaps. Is ciew 20 the reason why
there's stlu magic gor Us IN the name of Daniel

by the fiction We read than We realize. II Is
easier To think In terms % symbols and types
than Il Is 10 take iuto account individual differ
ences IN arriving al an estimate Of some one
person. So when Cooper symbollzed the Amer
lcan pioneer in the romantic figure OF Natty
Bumppo. we accepted Teaiherstocklng as the pro
totype Of all frontiersmen And when char
acter IN real NE came as close 10 fitting the
fictitious portrait which Cooper drew a. Daniel
Boone did II was almost a certainty that his
name would be stamped indellhly on the Amer.
lean consciousness.
Involved 10 this result. OF course Is a matter
OF racial and national prde-and also personal
vanity. We Americans Ike 20 consider ourselves
superior 10 other peoples. especially those whose
skins are another color. although In this respect
we are. perhaps no different from the British
the French the Germans or the citizens OF any
other country.
When we set out 10 overrun this continent We
encountered a natural opposition from its orig
inal owner. the red lie was willy and dar-
ing; he was skilled In woodcraft. he was a first
class fighting man. In order TO survive, the pio-
neers who invaded his hunting grounds had to
outwit and Outright him. Those who didn't. soon
lost their scalps Those who did. were able TO
maintain their precarious hold on their new
homes in the wilderness until the overwhelming
numbers OF the white man made certain the
subjugation OF the red and the acquisition
Of his lands
Outstanding among the pioneers who
able TO survive was Daniel Boone who. as Hen
derson has said. was unsurpassed an indi-
vidual Indian fighter" So when we read OF one
OF his victories over the "wily redskins IL con-
firms our feeling OF racial superiority, just as
reading OF washIngtons victories In the Reyolu-
ton and those OF Scott and Taylor In the Mex
lean war connrmr our feelings OF national superb
ority.
Daniel Boone was an American: we are Amer
leans; ergo we too would have been able 10
have outwitted those willy redskins" He was a
crack shot with the long rifle OF that period
he was the most skillful hunter OF big game
who ever lived upon the American continent; ;
he was "a peerless explorer, a supreme scout"
Therefore. by the same process of reasoning we
are all of those things. In other words he was
a champion in his field OF endeayor. And how
we Americans do love champions and love 10
be champions
The scientific historians may take away our
popular belief that Daniel Boone was the first
explorer Of Kentucky and the outstanding pio-
neer leader in romantic pioneering era. But

But now that Walter Wanger is
producing films on his own, it's going
to be a different story. The Presi-
dent Vanishes' was okayed by Joseph
Breen, the censor, in script form, and
was shown to him privately before any
of the press saw it. Breen liked the
finished film and warmly congratu-
lated Wanger on his work. Wanger
was told TO go ahead and preview the
picture. which he did.
That was over 10 days ago, but the
official seal from the Hays Office
failed to arrive. With the film set
for a New York showing early in De-
cember, Walter Wanger naturally in
quired as to the delay, and was told
that when the film arrived in the
East, Will Hays decided to see it in
person, and as result, refused to
grant it the seal of purity"
THE President Vanishes" is a
fearlessly made picture rejecting the
state Of America as it is today. 1t is
decidedly anti-war, and might we'll
serve as an intelligent warning to all
Americans as to what could happen to
their country unless they honestly
face the situations with which they
are confronted.
Whatever propaganda is promul-
gated in the film is in favor of the
average working citizen and definitely
opposed to the big business" man.
Should Hays continue to withhold
his okay from this film, Walter Wan
ger says he will hire Independent
theaters and show it throughout the
country anyway. After all this talk
about having pictures passed by the
Hays Office" before they can be
shown, can you imagine what a SEN
sation the first flm made without
benefit Of Hays" would be?
Hollywood producers just can't
wait to hear the outcome of this
dispute, though they may be too
polite to admit 1t.

IN operatic or concert form, Is given
just as it should be are rare, and for
that reason music lovers are willing
to travel many miles to the places
where the proper presentation is made
possible by financial backing and many
rehearsals. Therefore, it would not
be just to compare the National
Symphony performance yesterday with
the work Of long experienced and well
prepared players. Wagner himself
tried for many years before he could
realize his dream of how his music
should be played
For city which could easily count
the number of times an all-Wagner
= program of any kind has been giver
here, it was a real event and one in
which, despite shortcomings, whetted
a desire to hear the same numbers
again. To many, who had absorbed
the idea that Wagner music was heavy
and firing, it was revelation of
gorgeous melody and inexhaustible
sources of inspiration. No musical
center is complete without at least one
concert devoted to Wagner, and one
should be grateful to DIR. Kinder for
planning such program while know
ing the difficulties in its proper inter-
probation he would have to meet.
The most apparent effect was the
lack of sufficient strength in the or
chestras voice to make the clfmaxes
as sweeping as they should be and
which the least technically instructed
Of the listeners must have senSed the
need of. This is in no way the fault
of either DR.. Kinder or his musicians,
for, with the best will in the world
1t could not be accomplished with
the present number of men, particu-
larly in the string section. What is
of greater significance, however, is
the fact that our young orchestra
caught the breadth of the beautiful
phrases, the romantic surge Of feel
ing and the immensity Of the statue
of the Wagnerian drama. If the re-
suit did not carry one away with
unrestrained ardor, 1t was again due
to the fact that the proper volume
could not be reproduced.
Tristan and Isolde" and "Die
Walkuere" are naturally the most
appealing for q single presentation,
and because of that, the better
known of Wagner's works. DR.
Kinder had other points in mind
when he arranged the program and
the excerpts chosen for yesterday
made as fine panorama of Wagner's
genius and his great versatility for
color and variety as one could ask
for, aside from a complete hearing
of the "ring." There were moments
of exquisite tenderness side by side
with dramatic grandeur entirely in
keeping with the characters he wrote
about. This is the real Wagner,
passionate, tender, human, godlike,
immense.
Beginning with the Entrance of
the Gods Into Valkalla," the other
excerpts comprised "Siegmund's Love
Song" ''The Ride of the Valkyries, +"
"Wotan's Farewell" Forest Muir
murs," from "Siegfried": "Siegfried's S
Death and Funeral March" and
'Bruennhilde' Immolation." AS mag
nif1cent and poignantly beautiful
music as has ever been written and
played yesterday with a degree of
finesse and, above all. understanding,
that should make one proud Of the
accomplishment. In the applause
which recalled DIR. Kinder many
times, there was different note from
