NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Borah
" has decided that he won't
campaign for Governor Landon if
the latter is nominated for the
presidency.
Something may happen to
change Bo-ah's mind. But it will
have to be something more than
the recent overtures from Lam
don representatives who have in
vited the Idaho senator to help
write the Republican platform.
Hoover roped in Borah in 1923
by giving him virtually a free
hand with the platform. Planks
covering dry law enforcement,
corruption, and publicity for cam
paign expenditures were inserted
as, the senator desired them.
The farm plank finally adopted
Incorporated enough of Borah's
ideas to cause him to support il
on the convention floor. The one
plank prepared by Borah which
wasn't accepted was the one con-
Jdemning the Coolidge administra-
tons Latin American policy.
But .Borah now feels platform
planks aren't very nourishine. He

disappointed that he took no part
In the 1882 fight.

HE now is said to regard Landon
as a candidate backed by the
du Points, Hearst and reactionary
eastern bosses. He expects to

He has no thought Of endorsing

enemy of the Constitution.

HOPING FOR THE MILLENNIUM

S The American people are hard to please. When
the cost OF living is high they do not like it and
when 1t Is low they are also dissatisfied. If we
could only devise some way whereby the producer

THE SCOUNDREL' OPENS
RIALTO ENGAGEMENT
Authors Only Cinema . Dry and
Ironic Biography Of Certain
Naw York RuhlishAr

1ronic Biography OF Certain
New York Publisher.
NOEL CowARD's one and only
venture into the cinema, a Hecht-
Macarthur fantasy called THE Scoun-
drel." returned to the Rialto yesterday
to assuage the ardors Of those who
have not the price or the reservations
necessary to witness Mr.. Cowards
current appearance at the National.
A dry and ironic biography Of cer-
tain New York publisher. "The Scoun-
drel" places on display an enchanting
menagerie Of the literati, complete
with hot and cold running neurosis,
dripping the corrosive acids Of mod
ern intellectually. The types range
from minor poet to major bore and
the amiable caitiffs who wrote, direct
ed and produced this drama have
drawn each character with heinous
accuracy.
Toward the end the story drifts Oh
into the realm Of theatrical table-tip-
ping, but even its metaphysics are rea-
sonably witty and argued within the
limits of improbable entertainment.
Mr.. Coward's characterization of the
title role is one which inspires re-
grets that he sees fit to scorn the
films as an accustomed medium, and
he is ably assisted by Julie Hayden,
Lionel Stander and others.

be told by implication, as in the stage
version.
The second difference, slightly
startling in its effect, but not dis
pleasing, Is the happy ending, which
spares Mic and Miriami from the
death which they met in the original.
There are those who will say, no
doubt, that Hollywood did not dare
to be literal in its transcription in
this particular respect, but, in its
defense, it can be said that many
felt Anderson wrote the original MUIR
derous ending with disregard for the
necessities of his violent story.
Even Greater Emphasis.
And, if the film does soften the
heavy chords on which the dismal
threnody ends, its defenders, and it
needs none, can answer that those
in the body of the melody are given
even greater emphasis.
Unbelievable as it may seem to
those who remember the remarkable
sets against which the tragedy first
was played, those in the film are
better. Hollywood has more than
lights at its disposal. and it provides
a drenching, dismal rain throughout
the action Of "Winterset" that mark
edly heightens the effect Of its savage
story; heightens, indeed, the thread
of tenderness which is impaired by
the love of Mic for Miriami.
Also, for all the realism OF the
bridge which cast its funereal shadow
over the stage version, that Of the
film Is even more realistic. 1t Is a
real bridge, not just the suggestion
of one, and the river is not a matter
merely of sound effects, but it is per-
ceptible to the eye-a swirling, de-
structive torrent that came out Of the
Hollywood property labs to fit perfect
ly into the Anderson story. Meredith
himself, for all his admiration for the
original background against which he
played the part Of Mic, admits that
every day of the films making brought
astounding evidence of Hollywood's s
less limited capacity in this important
respect.
AS it was the play of the year 1885,
at least so far as professional critical
judgment was concerned, "Winterset"
appears destined to be the film of
1886 A motion picture public which
could accept THE Informer" for its
true merit should have even less diff
Guilty in similarly accepting the An
derson play.
And, one ventures also to predict,
it will find acting talent in the per-
sons of Meredith, Margo. Ciannelli
and others which will not be salts
fled to exhibit itself hereafter on only
the living stage.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, November
18.-The body of John Bowers, silent
screen hero, was washed ashore yes

his life in the way he had wished.

It's differences, however, the poWcIiui'
story of the blindness Of men in their
quest for justice gains as much as 1t
loses. The conviction which the Ma
tional Theater audience In Washlng-
ton perceived in the stage version last
Winter is equally perceptible in the
Aln, which is scheduled to open at
Keith's on Thanksgiving day.
"Winterset," as a film, may very
easily be regarded as an intelligence
test for the movie-going public; a
challenge to those who have criticized
Hollywood for steering clear OF that
type of story which searches the eVl
depths of mans stupidity. 1t repre-
sents defiance of the box-office ira
dition in that it is without big names.
Search its case and you will find none
of filmdom's big names, but see the
Aim, with virtually the entire original
cast intact, and you will learn more
of the meaning of acting than in
miles of program stuff out OF Holly
wood.

The acting Of the piece is absolutely
fawless; as fiawless, indeed, as that
which moved so many to proclaim the
fesh-and-blood stage presentation as
the most powerful dramatic achieve
ment in many years.
Meredith's "Mio," Margos Mir

Ellis Judge Gaunt" reduce from
three to two dimensions without any
diminution Of the dramatic impact
which they carried in the original.

There are two major changes in
the story, neither of which seems to
diminish its dramatic potency. AS

MAYBE you've already snapped out
AA of the doldrums. If you've seen
the first robin or crocus; if you've
bought your first Spring bonnet; if
you've spent few hours in the sun
shine, after being huddled UP all Win
ter, then you've probably conquered
that between-season, let-down feeling.
If you live in big, sooty cities. you
probably get spells of doldrums at the
end of every season, particularly after
long hard Winter. The South gets
little of it, The West ditto. But those
parts of the country that know cold
winds and steam-heated houses, and
those women who get precious little
clear. fresh air. they know what it is
to feel listless, disinterested, down.
It's the result of physical inactivity
and sluggish circulation more than
anything else.
I'll tell you how to snap out Of the
doldrums. First, put your mind on it.
Second, take warm, cleansing bath.
Pamper yourself Scented soap and
salts. Lie back. Relax. Give your
self facial Slap and pat your skin,
coax cream into it. Mold with more
gusto than you've known in months.
Brush your hair as though you
mean it. Shampoo. Have it set new
way. Get yourself a new hat or
completely new costume.
Look yourself in the mirror and
search for the sparkle in you. 1t
shouldn't be hard to find.
Then, out into the sunshine.
Breathe deeply. Say to yourself. Its
good to be me-it's good to see things
blooming sgain-it's good to feel the
SUM-
And while you are outdoors move
about. Timber up. Walk, walk, walk.
A mile the first day. A little more the
next. Not slowly, lumberingly or
leisurely, but with a brisk pace. You
mean to timber up muscles that we'll
wager haven't had one good workout in
two or three months. And while
you're walking. hum or sing; but,
above all, make a conscious effort to
get those lungs filled with clear. fresh
air The lungs need washing Give
it to them in the form of fresh sup
ply of air and your whole body will
benefit. For fresh air and good circu-
lation are blood relations. And good
circulation is what makes for q good
complexion. healthy hair, clear eyes; a
feeling of general fitness, of Joy in liv-
ing. You give your house a Spring
cleaning. Give your person Spring
cleaning, too Your intestinal tract,
Your respiratory system. A new sup
ply of fresh air, new supply of energy.
together with the new suit. Revival,
newness-that's how to snap out of the
doldrums and into Spring!
