had to do before the night ended.
Homai, the apothecary, comes in
In the next scene and is around pretty
continuously thereafter. And there
is always something to laugh about
when he IS making his contribution
to the narration Of Emma's story.
ernest Cossart plays Homais and
there was one moment when he did
a good job of saving the situation
when a door stuck by ad libbing the
line: TRY the other door, Justin"
1t was the funniest line Of the evening,
and M. Baty and Levy can be proud to
have had 1t stuck in their script.)
There are many scenes, let 1t be
understood. in which Miss Cummings
needs neither the help of Homais or
any other character. She is superb
in the rejection of Rodolphe's suit in
the apothecary's shop, in the interlude
of disillusionment at the end of that
romance. in the two scenes with De
Puts at the Hotel des Empereurs and
in the moment when she begs and eats
the arsenic back of the pharmacy.
The Guild has cast Madame
Bovary" with its usual excellent judg-
ment, and in addition to the per-
formance of Miss Cummings and
Ernest Cossart, happy things can be
said for those OF Valerie Cossart,
Ernest Thesiger, Eric Portman, Carl
Harbord, Viola Roache and Eda
Heineman.
An interesting device utilized in the
telling Of the story is the off stage
voice, used first to reveal Emmas
thoughts when she meets Depuis,
later to examine the content of her
dreams and to narrate what happens
when she takes that first ride with
Rodolphe. Twice during the evening
the off-stage voices materialize In the
persons Of six beautiful girls, Emmas
schoolmates. sitting in stage boxes.
1t Is all very credible, which some
times such things are not.
A program note says that the Is
scenes were adapted by Lee Simonson
from the original production Of Baty
in Paris. Whoever deserves the credit
for them, it is an approximate Ger
tatnty that one shall not look upon

Jean Arthur is another Columbiaite
who looks like she is committing
screen hara-kiri. But in her case 1t
would be more than q pity. AS you
know, Jean tried unsuccessfully to
break her contract with her boss, Harry
Cohn, because she wanted to accept
the higher fees offered by other studios.
When she lost her case she left for
Northern California, vowing that
although she is still tied to Columbia
for another year, she will not make
any further pictures for the studio.

DENHARDT GUN
GETS PROBE

NEW CASTLE, KY, April 81
G.N.SD.-The parade of scien-
tific experts summoned by the
commonwealth in the trial of
Brig. Gen. Henry Denhardt for
the murder of Mrs. Verna Carr
Taylor, his beautiful fiancee, con-
tinued today in the red brick
Henry county courthouse here.
Prosecutor H. B. Kinsolving
planned to call o. j. Jacobs, bal
listics expert of the Peters Cart
ridge Company, Kings Mills,
Ohio. Jacobs is expected to clari-
fy the States contention that
Mrs. Taylor could not have killed
herself with Gen. Denhardt's old
Army revolver.
The .45-caliber service revolver
of the former lieutenant gov
ernor was found just two feet
from his fiancee's body the night
of November 6 on a lonely road
near La Grande, KY.
Through evidence based on test
shots made on the carcass of a
dog, the State attempted to prove
to the jury yesterday that the
death gun was held from nine to
10 inches from Mrs. Taylors
breast when fired. Whether Mrs.
Taylor could have held the gun
at a distance of nine inches and
killed herself was a question left
for the jury to decide.

RIVERS GROUP
DEMANDSU. 5.
FUNDS NOW

Demands that ngress
promptly appropriate funds for
prevention of floods and soil
erosion. under provisions OF the
$40 million dollar flood control
act, dominated the convention OF
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress as the delegates, repre-
senting local governments in every
section of the country, met today
at the Mayflower Hotel for a Sc
ries of round table discussions
scheduled for the final day of the
convention.
REQUESTS for congressional &C.
ton were reiterated by delegates
at the late afternoon session, de-
spite a warning from Representa-
tive William B. Bankhead, of Ala
bama, Speaker of the House, that
any large appropriation from Con-
gress in the near future was un-
likely.
Pittsburgh Mayor Heard
Mayor Cornelius D Scully, Of
Pittsburgh, declared conditions in
the Ohio Valley are critical and
pointed out that the State Of Penn
Sylvania was ready with its ap-
preparation for starting the flood
control program. He said he had
received word that the Ohio was
rising at the rate of eight inches
an hour and would likely be at
flood stage today.
Speakers asked prompt Fed
eral appropriations and large
majority of the delegates indicated
their approval of maintaining
control of the flood prevention
program under the Secretary of
War and the United States Army
Engineers.
Sees Power Use
Arthur E. Morgan, chairman
of the board of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, stressed the ad-
visibility of incorporating flood
control features in dams and
reservoirs constructed for power
purposes. He said:
"There is a temptation to
take a chance on floods in
order to get the immediate ad-
vantage Of additional storage
for power. If the system is
dominated by a plan for power,
then the flood control capacity
will be uSurped and will be
missing when urgently needed.
already at the Norris dam
we have been under pressure
and have received bad advice
to encrOach on flood storage
for immediate power benefits.
In the administration of these
combined projects we must
guard against the One-track
minds, the ignorant persons
and the demagogueS, who
would take chance Of flood
catastrophe for the sake Of i'm
mediate income from power"
Speakers scheduled to address
members of the congress at to-
days series of round table dis
cuSSionS include a number of
Senators from the Midwest as

sire to make good. Is it not true,
my young friends. that you wish
above all shingS to make good?
But when We speak in terms OF
making good we of necessity
speak in terms of Christ. The
highest kind Of good is personal
good and the highest personal
good is found in Jesus. And it Is
not necessary for me to remind
YOU that at the bottom Of your
heart. where your honest convic-
tions lie, you know, and you know
it better than anyone else, that
YOU cannot finally make good un-
less YOU come to terms with
Christ and respond to His appeal
to seek first the kingdom of God.
"You are endowed with all nee
essary qualities for your high
task. Your idealism: you not only
see visions, but believe in them;
not only dream dreams. but be-
lieve they will come true. Your
enthusiaSmS: you are naturally
enthusiastic, young and bubbling
over with life. When you see a
desired good you are ready to go
for it at once. You have been en-
dowed with strength God gave
you all of this, and he gave it to
you for a purpose. The Master
reminds you what that purpose is
when he says: Seek We first the
kingdom of God You are stand
ing on holy ground, because Of
your youth, your infinite pOSSibil-
tiles, your loved ones are count
ing on you to make good. Be-
cause of your opportunities, be
loyal to the royal in thy self. Get
away from the so what attitude
of life. and respond to the call OF
Christ"
