nicos y con la mirada de aguila del
director mismo siempre presentes,
los artistas no tienen realmente
tempo de considerarse como seres
humanos, a menos que %previamen-
tie Sc hayan atraido mutuamente.
En- esos casos, las escenas amoro-
sas entire uno y otra sirven para
avivar un fuego que tarde O tenn
prano habrfa alcanzado proporcio-
mes de hoguera.
Pasando ahora de 10 general a
10 particular, voy a exponer aquf
con toda la franqueza possible CO.
mo c%onsideran ell amor algunas de
las figuras prominentes de la pan
ITALIA luminosa. sin que mis- Obser-
vaciones lleven por mira Zaherir a
nadie, puesto que son hechas de la
mejor buena fe.
Por ejemplo, ell idilio amoroso es
para Joan Blondell algo como 10
concibe la mayoria de las mucha-
chas trabajadoras. Ell amor a Dor
do de I'm modesto Ford o en- n
vivienda humilde. Chocolates en-
vez de cocktails; dulces en- vez de
caviar. Sc trata de una joven muy
agradable, que bien podrfa ser m
operadora de telefono o una mecca
nografa. Para ella ell ideal parece
ser casarse con un mecanico o con
un agente de ventas, y luego en-
cargarse de "hacerle casa" y vivir
feliz con ell modesto esposo. Indu-
dablemente lie agradaria tener va
rios chiquillos de rostros sonrosa-
dos.
Pero nadie creo que sea capaz de
concebir a una Carlo o a una Craw-
ford concibiendo idilios que tengan
SUI desenlace en- la traditional par
vada de chiquillos. -. Els indudable
que ell amor como 10 concibe Joan
Blondell es un POGO prosaico, pero
tambien es sane y limpio, porque
ella es en- mi concepto ell tipo de
la mujer como Sc We en- la vida ma
tural y diaria.

Greta Carlo tiene una cualidad de %acentua-
do animalismo, suavemente amenguado por

lista por excelencia y resulta cast impossible cla-
sificarla. =. Ann Harding representa- Ell tipo
idealista. Els una actriz de notorio talento, aun-
que tai vez tiene demasiado respeto por la
tecnica, 10 que la hace poner coto a csc
mismo talento. Parece tener miedo de
dar rienda suelta a sus emociones. Siem-
pre- me imagine que veo flotar I'm nim-
DO en- torno de Miss Harding. Y aun-
que es verdad que los hombres son sus-
~ceptibles de dejarse hechizar momen-
taneamente por un nimbo, raro sera ell
que quiera vivir permanentemente con
csc halo luminoso. Al hombre lie agra
da verse elevado e i%nspirado de vez en-
q cuando; hacer una especie de excursion
i a los reinos del e~spiritu; pero a la vez
considera que vivir dia tras dia en- una
atmosfera espiritualizada impi1ca una
tension nerviosa demasiado grande.
Ruth Chatterton personifica a la mujer de
mundo, culta, de educacion esmerada, que sa-
be dar todas las respuestas en- todos los lido
mas. La creo capaz de dejar libres de vez en-
cuando sus emociones; pero a la vez estlmo
que ha de resultar I'm suplicio a%guardar dema-
siado tempo a que consienta en- hacerlo. La
"reina' Ruth Chatterton, como la llaman mu-
chos, es una inteligente lingiista del amor.
La intensa Joan Crawford necesita un va
ron muy dominate para que haga buena pa
reia con ella, va que es mujer de ardientes emo
clones. I'm hombre que sea como la mayoria,
tendria que tomarse vacaciones con demasiada
frecuencia.
Respecto del tipo de la joven madre, creo
que encuentra SUI personificacion en- Helen Ha-
yes. En- esa bella artista, la nota dominante es
la de la ternura. Creo que ofrece la simpatla
que un hombre necesita de veZ en- cuando te-
me que lie hieran; pero al mismo tempo juzgo
que Miss Hayes es demasiado spiritual para
un amor vulgar.
Lois Wilson personifica ell ideal amor ma
ternal: bondadoso, comprensivo y de buen hui
NOR.
Irene Dunno parece encarnar la figura agra
dable y circunspecta de la perfecta anna de ca
sa; pero tras de su apariencia LENA de segurl-
dad, sospecho que Sc esconden fuegos latentes
Y que es capaz de sentir emociones profundas
y maravillosas.
La attraction de Jean Harlow estriba en- que
representa- la passion con un caracter muy te-
rrenal.
miriam Hopkins? Habiendo tenido ell ho-
nor de ser SUI esposo, puedo decir con pleno CO.
nocimiento de causa que expresa ell amor como
10 conciben las jovenes damas de la buena So
ciedad. Els ligera, allegro y d%ivertida, y nunca
provoca esas escenas de gran intensidad pasio-
nal que los hombres abominan por 10 general.
Els muy bien equilibrada, muy elegante y debe

Employment of the $4,000 per-
sons on WPA jobs by November Is
was predicted last week by George

ing itself latitude of 20 per, cent
either way on those figures.

are caught as well as the families
of deserters.
AS method of Furnishing the de-

deserter's family has been put to
death, even to the last woman and

of waxed linen and set fire to.

Gently expressed sympathy for

Supt. Miller
Assured OF
Project For
AsheSchooLs
County Wide School Project Would
Amount To $4,000 And Help
All Small Schools

Ashe County Superintendent of
Schools, j. Ivan Miller, made trip
to Winston-Salem Friday for the
express purpose of urging the ap-
proval of his countrywide school
project, which he submitted to the
Works Progress Administration
several weeks ago.
Mr.. Miller states that he found
that only $4,000 of the forty odd
thousand that has been allotted this
county was to be turned over to
schools, the remainder going to-
ward road construction. He was
able, however, to get the assurance
and promise that his project would
be carried through.
This project, calling for an ex-
penditure of around ten thousand
dollars, is designed to aid all the
small schools in the county in such
ways and replacing broken win
dows, re-roofng, painting, and 9TH
er of the many things the school
buildings and grounds in the coun-
ty need. The Board of Education
will have to put up around $1,000
to be able to get this amount, it
was learned.
Mr.. Miller is very much pleased
with the assurance given him since
the majority of the new work that
is being approved is being given to
roads. He also feels that the money
could be spent to no better advan-
tage than to help the little schools
in the county that have no other
way of getting aid.
