Swollen Eye

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. IA mys-
teriouS ailment of the left eye
which plaques Jack Benny and
which has baffled experts because
they are unable to determine the
cause of it, was revealed today.
The ailment is marked by a
swelling of the eye which is dis
tinctly noticeable and yet it causes
no pain to Benny. The mystery
was disclosed when Benny reported
for work on the college Holiday"
set today with his left eye swollen
so much that it was only clever
work on the part of makeup men
that enabled him to work.
Benny declared that he did not
know his eye was swollen until
his attention was called to it by
Bernard Ponedel, his makeup
man.
He said the attacks Of swelling
are periodic and that they nave
afflicted him for some time. The
swelling normally lasts only a day
or two and then disappears.
Several famous specialists, in
cluding DR.. Ray Irvine. have ex.
amined Benny, but none has ever
been able to determine the cause.

Many an Edna Ferber fan

thrilling saga of an early Amer
lean family and its climb to the
millionaire class; its destruction
of Wisconsin forests to feed its
paper pulp mills; its greed for
money and power; its ultimate
crash as modern methods and
nature took their course.
Able Novelist Ferber erred, so
claim many readers of the novel,
by completely destroying one set

plosion Of a yacht. But Producer
Goldwyn did not. No dilly-dally-

for Mr.. Goldwyn, who, first, last

After considerable directorial

the producer, bowed out Of the
scene and turned his megaphone
over to William Wyler, Goldwyn
and his associate, Merritt HUI
burd, got or conceived the bright
idea of shortening Miss Ferber's
lengthy tome and ending it with
out tragedy.
A bright thought indeed. For
now we have a straightforward
tale of a young, determined woods
man whose goal is to become the
most powerful paper manutac-
turer in the country. He achieves
his purpose by ruling his men with
an iron hand, by crafty, sometimes
unethical, business methods and
by marrying his boss daughter,
sacrificing the girl he loved.
The fates were kind in none.

by, the romance he had cast aside
beckoned-anda at an age when he
should have known better. Love

fused this man and nearly sue
ceeded in wrecking his life.
Brilliant is Edward Arnold as
the powerful Barney Glasgow, who
rose from kitchen boy to logger
and then to private railroad
trains. Like his Diamond Jim
Brady" Arnold succeeds in max.
ing the character live.
Especially fine and thrilling are
the logging sequences directed by
Richard RoSSon. Many scene
drew applause from an awed pre-
view audience. And unusually
bright for a newcomer, is pretty
Andrea Leeds, a Goldwyn "diScov-

becoming extremely imp r a n t

selected, is headed by Joel McCrea,

Frank Shields, Mady Christians,
Mary Nash, Edwin Maxwell, Cecil
Cunningham and Charles Halton.
Not knowing the individual
parts contributed by Directors
Hawks and Wyler, I can only say
that it is a noteworthy all-around
Job. And that Mr.. GoldWyn has a
grand picture to mis- credit-one
