 And then she acted just as she had told Helen. earlier in the day, that she would. She stormed and cried alternately, threw her slippers into the far corner of the living room and allowed her fra- gile self to fall duly onto the davenport .. to rest there immov- ably.
 For an hour she lay there in the dark room, threatening to slash the throat of anyone who came near.

Germany Admits Driving Out
Movie Stars Has Made a

BY PIERRE J. HUSS

BERLIN, Marcia Q.N.S0.-With
such Teutonic cinema stars as
Marlene Dietrich and Elisabeth
Bergner emoting before the klieg
lights of London and Hollywood,
the German motion picture indus
try, once the artistic leader Of the
world, marshalled its forces today
to recapture international fame.
Confession that the Nazi regime
has failed in movie production was
made by no less a figure than
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels, "czar" of the German
stage, film and art world.
He made no mention Of the
great German stars and directors
who are plying their talents in for
eign fields, but admitted his super
vised attempts to turn out real
screen art" had proved a frost. He
asked for a readjustment and re-
orientation.
At the same time, Goebbels
announced he would loosen his
grip on film production by re-
taxing the hitherto blanket censor
ship over all screen productions
and activity.
while our attempts to reform
the film industry were justified"
he said, there is no use denying
that they failed to achieve a
really great success in the realm
of the screen.
"The time has now come for
the Government to cooperate
actively in film production and
to discontinue working in the
negative way by prohibiting films
or censoring them. We want to
stimulate film production morally
and financially"
Goebbels admitted in the course
Of his talk that one of the most
signal Nazi failures had been in
the realm of "belly-laugh''
comedies.
I'VE are sadly lacking" he
said, Gin the type Of film intended

of humor, in good spirit and re.
plete with superior satire.
eve also seem to haze neglected
the fact that the film, as every
other art, Is oft for bread and
that wise craftsmanship cannot ex'
pect art to support itself alone.
IT know only too well that an
artist cannot work if somebody is
watching over HI shoulder all the
time. But he German film cannot
appeal to the world in an express
sionless mask. The world wants to
see films Of the time after we
came to power, and the world will
have a chance to see them"

WHAT IRELAND DOES WHEN II
 IS CHRISTMAS

in no country is Christmas look ed forward to with greater anticipa- ton than in Ireland. For centuries the coming of the Christ Child has been hailed with unbounded joy by the people of the Emerald Isle.
 Many stories associated with Christmas are repeated year after year around Irish firesides. An old legend tells that sometimes on a Christmas eve Mary and the Christ Child wander abroad seeking shelter Fearful that they might seek in vain, as they did in Bethlehem long ago, lighted candle is placed in every window to guide them to place of refuge. These are left burning on throughout the night, gleaming into the darkness, guiding any wander CT that might be abroad; for the le- gend also tells that the Mother and Child' may come in almost any guise.
 All the world remembers Ireland at Christmas, for her children are scat tered in every land A steady stream of gifts and good wishes come pour ing into her gates. Families divided by stretching seas are reunited in spirit, as the bridge of time and space is broken by the old happy greeting, "A Merry Christmas and a Bright New Year r"-(Katherine Ed elman)
