WAR. and blaming it on YOU!
Dear Miss Robinson:
with each day we cry out
against war more fiercely and
vow more strenuously that we
will take no part in it. Yet all
the time, in our hearts, we are
waiting, expecting the first gun
to roar.
"We call peace parleys and
legislate temporary arms reduc-
tions. but we do not take one
step toward stopping the one
thing that makes war-OUR
DIsTRUsT OF AND INTOLER-
ANCE TOWARD FOREIGNERS.
How often do you hear the
remark-T just don't trust
foreigners We forget that we.
too, are foreigners to other
nations.
1--WE are so biased that we
brand anyone who is Of alien
birth as ignorant, dishonest and
designing'-while we accept all
Americans as intelligent, honest
and benevolent.
Our Worst
Weakness
''This is ridiculous and I'M
worthy Of us. It Is our worst
weakness, for 1t lays us open to
the hate and contempt Of other
peoples.
Before we can be safe from
the continual threat Of war, we
must have more knowledge Of
other nations-a better under
standing of their problems
wide sympathy and tolerance. I
am not wishy-washy pacifist.
I am just talking turkey to my
own family circle.
Everyone thinks war is so
awful But I tell you that
every time YOU sheer at a

a foreigners progressively
time you boast unfairly Of Amer.

err. a nagger, a trouble-making
gossip and a general disagree
able busybody. If ever anybody
in the world deserved a poke,
this wife did. After trying every
other method to keep peace in
the family, the husband let fly
a straight arm that rocked his
wife to sleep.
This drastic treatment was
presumed to make the wife a
more meek and human person
atty. 1t worked so well that
the husbands brother in = law
gave his spouse a dose OF the
same domestic medicine. Drama
with a punch all right.
Here was the theme Of the
play and some married men
were ready to cheer for it. Un-
fortunately a drama nowadays
to meet success. on Broadway
or elsewhere. must have an ap-
peal for the Wednesday and
Saturday afternoon patronage.
So Two Married Men" folded
quickly when the feminine play
goers applied a box office boy
colt.
EARNS TOUGH REPUTATION
Jimmy Cagney won himself a
set of fine notices when he
pushed a ripe graefruit into
Mae Clark's face and est a b.
lished himself as screen tough
guy. All was not glory, how.
ever, for ever since Cagney has
been rated in the industry
male draw" meaning his male
box office following constitutes
his big majority.
Eddie Robinson won cheers
by delivering a kick to the
southern exposure Of one of his
fair screen companions. Gen.
orally the lusty roles that Robin
son plays call upon him to dis
tribute his abuse without regard
to who is in the way. The facts
are that Edward G. Robinson is
another star niched with the ex-
hibitor as a male draw"
Being popular with movie
goers of male persuasion is not,
of course, a drawback. 1t just
happens that the stars whose
popularity is greatest are those
who can appeal to both sides of
the average household.
Fredric March, up to now, has
been one of these. Is he risking
some of this popularity in Moth
ing Sacred" to put a punch in
his picture? think so. though
it comes under the head Of
comedy relief"

All the directorial skill of
Cecil B. DeMille, plus studio ap-
plause couldn't make "Cimar-
ron" in the radio version more
than a flat and unsatisfactory
reminder of a great picture.
It came through the loud
speaker last night with Clark
Gable as Yancey Cravat (played
on the screen by Richard Dix
and Virginia Bruce as the brave
and brilliant Sabra, the role
which rode Irene Dunno to Hol-
lywood eminence.
Those of us who cherish
"Cimarron" as one of the great
est pictures of all time prob
ably expected too much. But
this adoption for the networks
was sketchy, without suspense,
and with only a flimsy pre-
tense at the rounded character
