Gus Mems directed "The Hit
Parade" and considering the horde
of people he had to tuck into the
piece, he did a reasonably good job.

been better off, however, if he had

last scene of the play in which her

Divorced from the rest of the play,
the once fiery scene seems to have lost
much that made it memorable in the

fact that freshness is feature OF
merit in film musicals. Neither in
the story it tells, nor the dialogue and
action through which it is related,
does The Hit Parade" try to out

her way to stardom and the field Of
action Of singers on their way to
stardom has been pretty thoroughly
explored. If Republic Pictures Corp.
were to walk through the drama de-

would do to freshen up that story we
would have to admit point blank that
they had us. Until that happens,
however, we sort of have them.
If you are a Frances Langford fan,
however, you probably will like her

Langford on this one. He, too, is
good in it but Phil spends most of

Guns Provide Only
Fire in "Woman
I Love" "
BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, Jr.

b1 hObEh1 b. fhlLLIfS, Jr.
TT MAY surprise you somewhat to
learn that in cinema loaded
with such potential histrionic dy-
Mantle as Paul NUM-, Miriam Hop
kins and Louis Hayward, the only dra-
matte explosions spout from the busi-
ness end of machine gun. That
nevertheless is the plight Of THE
Woman Love-" which opened yester-
day at R-K-O-Keith's, leaving more
or less cold at the end Of an hour and
too many minutes an audience which
had bounced into the theater fred
with the white heat Of expectation.
Certainly no one would have
guessed that the mighty NUM- or the
facile Hayward would be compelled to
resort to those old devices, the rattle
of gunfire and the roar of airplanes in
combat, in order to inject semblance
of life into a drama Mr.. Mum, it is
true, refuses to be downed completely
by the material handed him. How
ever shallow its concept, he insists
upon reading few strokes of subtle
Characterization of individuality into
his definition of the role of a sensi-
tive, bedeviled aviator rather confused
and lost In the mundane uproar OF
war.
Mr.. Hayward also gets across lick
or two now and then, renewing the
faith OF those who have regarded him
as a white hope among the younger
screen actors, but like his senior CO.
hort, he is unable to enliven materially
the progress Of thick story, slowly
told.
AS for Miss Hopkins, she IS left
without a machine gun or an airship
to help her out Of bad predicament.
She is merely caught f1at-footed, there
on the ground. Usually one OF the
screen's liveliest actresses, whether
her talents are dedicated to comedy or
more serious matters, la belle Miriam
is suppressed to the point of collapse
here. Director Anatole Litvak has
guided her into channel of charac-
terization so lugubrious that 1t be-
comes impossible to believe two men
could have been fascinated by a dam
sci Of such dour mien.
That, by the way, is the crux of the
plot-the fact that young French
lieutenant (Mr. Hayward) meets and
falls In -ove with beautiful lady
(Miss Hopkins, then goes to the
front and becomes the defender, con-
f1dant and beloved friend of her hus-
band (Mr. MunD. Discovering this
situation too late, he is embittered,
Mr.. MUM is embittered, Miss Hopkins
IS tragic and sad, and Colin Give.
who has the meanest look OF any man
alive when he chooses to put it on,
uses an insignificant role to outem-
bitter them all.
Such fun as may be had with "The
Woman Love" goes on in the skies.
where there are some stirring aerial
dog-f1ghts and rather remarkable
series Of photographs of the postures,
expressions and grimaces of a man
who is pointing machine gun at a
fellowman. Mr.. Hayward takes care
Of that grim business, but nicely.
For those who enjoy a good cry
about as much as any other indoor
sport. Mr.. Litvak has employed a
youngster named Wally Albright, who
squeezed a great many tears out OF
the first audience yesterday with his
somewhat obvious boyish charm.

Exploitation of Michigan's Great Copper
Deposits Goes Back to Prehistoric Ages

The history Of the exploitation of
Michigan's copper deposits undoubt-
edly goes back to the prehistoric
ages. through the period of Indian
domination, the early pioneer days
of the first white settlers, with 1850
marking the beginning Of large
scale operations on a profitable
commercial basis, writes Albert
Stoll, Jr., in the Detroit News.
This thought of Michigan copper
was inspired by statement made
during 1864. The copper market
reached its peak price, 55 cents a
pound, and number of persons
made profit by melting down cop
per pennies and selling the metal.
A check revealed that this would
have been impossible, even though
they happened to be the diversified
pennies the coming of which was
discontinued in 1858. Our present
penny contains about 95 per cent
copper and the rest zinc and tin.
It would take about 140 of these to
make pound of metal and at 55
cents pound the investor would be
losing tWo-thirds of his money.
The Coolidge examiner., 1937-12-16

Since 1850 our mines have pro-
duced over one and one-quarter
billion dollars worth of sthis red
metal, perhaps record unequaled
in any other copper-bearing district
as restricted as this in the entire
world. The bottom on price was
reached in 1882 when copper
brought only five cents a pound.
Since that time it has reached IA
cents. Up to 1886 the copper coun-
try of Michigan has produced
1882, 900, 900 pounds with the record
year falling in 1917 with 0,000, 900
pounds. About / 100000 pounds were
produced in 1885.
In 1887 Michigan led all states in
copper production, but today she is
fourth with Arizona, Montana and
Utah in the lead.

taking things for granted. calling
him darling and telling him of her
divorces. Last I heard Of you, you

Greg found himself stirred by va

out quickly what might have hap

He was sure of that. He had seen
his name on the sports page of the
