definitely is not, he eventually is
transformed by her sacrifice for her
country only to find in his new guise
that he is completely lovable in her
eyes. 1t is not the most convincing
scene in the play, this one in which
Napoleon's poetic recital of his ideals
melts the heart of the heretofore cold
countess, but it is played beyond the
limit of its writing into easy believ-
ability by Miss Garbo and Boyer.
There follows then one Of the
tenderest, most futile loves in history's
romantic pages. In his relations with
the woman whose greatness exceeded
her beauty, Napoleon forgets his
ambitions and becomes a docile crea-
ture of every mans stature; the kind
who glows at her pet name, Napoleoni;
who wants to learn to dance as she
thinks he should. There must be
kind Of magic in love that so trans
forms a man. To put it there is Miss
Garbo's job and she is at her best in
this part of the f1lm.
The countess gain in this interlude
at Finckenstein turns into her loss
when Spring comes and the germ of
the conqueror again flows in the veins
of her lover. His consuming lust for
power separates them. Tragedy for
both begins. covering such dramatic
terrain as the retreat from Moscow,
exile to Elba, the marriage of Napoleon
to Marie Louise, and finally complete
separation just before st. Helena. All
those historic incidents, of course,
make excellent raw material for
dramatist and actor and in the hands
of those in Conquest" the material is
finely treated.
as are the major
performances in the picture, one
cannot overlook several subordinate
parts which are given fine interpre-
tation. The crazy old Countess Pela-
gia, that rare old lady who was insane
enough to treat Napoleon as the young
upstart she thought him to be, Is
played by Martha Ouspenskaya as II
she just wished she had chance to
say to those irreverent things to the
Emperor. Reginald Owen is properly
comic and wicked as Tallyrand. Henry
Stephenson is practically superb as
the Count Walewski (the great,
ancient. aristocratic and outraged
husband Of the countess, and Dame
May Whitty is more of the same as
Napoleon's mother. There are others,
hundreds Of them. and Clarence Brown
has directed them with that touch
which has earned him the right to
direct all CARLOS pictures
In Conquest" M-G-M has made its
greatest spectacle. but not all the rich
items it has assembled for the dazzle
ment of the spectator can steal the rich
drama from Miss Garbo and Boyer.

Millions of people are losing millions

one Of the causes OF too much fat lies
in a little gland. It is the duty Of this
tiny gland to make about one drop and

helps the body burn" up food and exc

Courage Commended
We wish to commend the cour-
age of certain of our college exc
cutives who have come out and
taken a clear-cut and progressive
stand on the Harrison Black edu-
cation bill. We have watched with
interest the moves Of certain Neg
ro leaders who had much at stake,
and we are now happy to observe
that the men with most to lose
have hewed closest to the line. Or
dinarily this would not be saying
much, but in Negro life, we all
know what tremendous pressure it
is possible to bring on our leaders
who have executive power-eveA
pressure not seen by the public.
Fortunately, however, Negro life,
has been developed to the point
where it is no longer possible for
back-sliders, straddlers, and even
group traitors to sell us out with
out the public knowing it instant
fly.
Speaking like this, it is not
necessary to call names; but those
for whom the orchids are meant
know who they are
