New Star Bows
AtCoIumbia

At Loew's Columbia Theater
yesterday Mady Christians, who
is new to American moviegoers
and a particularly bright star,
made her cinematic bow as a
wicked woman.
When you've seen the picture
you may just happen to take time
out to wonder if her series of self
sacrifices, as depicted, proved her
baddie, just what in the name
Of heaven and M.-G.-M. would
make her an alright gal.
The story is the time-worn one
about the woman who struggles
and suffers that her little ones
may rise above the gutter, which
has been her habitat through
force of circumstances.
Just to heap one more straw
on her already overburdened back
as she is about to grasp happi-
ness-her past, her conscience
and a promise to square herself
confront her.
Well, fiction writer's call it con-
flict and cruel critics charge it
all to that little product which
the butchers sell for 10 cents a
pound, sliced.
Anyway, Miss Christians is very
nearly perfect. Her appearance is
reminiscent of Ruth Chatterton
and her performance excellent.
Jean Parker, Betty FurneSs and
Charles Bickford are among those
present. and all doing nicely,
thank YOU

About "Ecstasv"


Ecstasy" the Czechoslovakian
film which was barred by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
from the American screen, will
appeal the decision to the United
States District court. He brings
the information to this desk.
In one scene the heroine of
the picture appears nude (the
role was played by the wife of
wealthy munitions manu-
factureD but the objection to
the picture is not so much to
this sequence, but to another in
which only the face of the star
appears, but her expressions tell
the story.
Secretary Morgenthau viewed
the picture after the Commits
Sioner of Customs and the de-
partment's chief counsel had re-
fused to admit it to America.
Ecstasy" won the Italian prize
as the best picture of the year last
summer, a competition in which
producers all over the world en-.
tered their product. Mussolini re-
jected the verdict of the judges
and awarded the top honor to
Man of Aran."
In appealing to the District
court, counsel for Ecstasy" will
proceed on the precedent estab.
lished when Judge Woolsey over
ruled the United States customs
and admitted the James Joyce
novel ulysses" to the American
book market.
Ecstasy is 10000 feet long,
running time about two hours, but
has only 800 words of dialogue.

'bUCKY ACE VICTOR
AS CY DROPS FIRST
PhiIIies' Converted Utility
InfieIder SparkIes in De-

~ NE Of the newly risen stars Of
1 the National League pitch
! ing corps has taken his first
fall, but another moved right
up to take his place.
When Darrell (Cy) Blanton, Pitts
burgh's sensational young right
handler, met his first defeat of the
season at the hands of the Giants
and Carl Hubbell by a 81 count
yesterday, he became for the time
being just another good pitcher.
His place in the sun was given
over to William (Bucky) Walters,
the Phillies' home town boy, who
was converted from a third baseman
into a pitcher and celebrated by
hurting a four-hit, 2-to-1 triumph
over the World Champion Cardinals.
Although he tried the mound for
seven innings in two games last sea-
son, Bucky was listed as a spare
third-sacker this Spring. He had
pitched as a sandlotter, however, and
begged so hard for another trial that
Manager Jimmy Wilson gave it to
him and found he had another start

Other Pilots Interested,

ITARRIS admitted today that he
had been dickering with every
club the Nationals have faced
since they left home last month in the
quest for worthwhile pitcher. Some
of the rival managers listened to him
with interest, too, he said, although
he declined to specify which of them
did so.
Rumor throughout the Western
sector is strong that the Yankees still
are keen about Manush and that they
might be induced to part with a
pitcher such as Johnny Broacca
should Manush happen to be made a
part Of Washingtons end of the deal.
The Yanks made an effort to get
Manush while Griffith and Harris
were ut the major league busi-
ness sessions in New York last De-
cember. But the officials of the two
clubs could reach no agreement.
So far as known the Red Sox have
nothing in pitching way they could
afford to put on the block and Connie
Mack is about in the same fix with
his AS. Harris and his boss have not
given up in their efforts to land Buck
Newsom, Highlander, now with the
Browns. They have been after him
since last Winter. Schultz might fig
ure in any deal made with the St.
Louis Club. The Browns could use
an outfielder of his type.
During the remainder of this trip
Manager Harris will keep the wires
burning with messages to Griffith and
after the club gets back to Washing
ton there will be a lot of buzzing by
the pilot and the prexy in the presi-
dental Offices on Georgia avenue.
The big boss has until midnight of
June IS to land the man Harris
wants.
And Bucky will be asking for that
pitcher right down to the deadline.
