was SO much in It that was clumsy and
futile and stupid that the admirable
qualities were almost buried. Perhaps

could have worked on it for five or six
months more it would have been a
flrst-rate work, but, unfortunately,
there was no such opportunity. Never
theless, there was enough Snowman
ship included in the work to cause
three critics, who also were filled with
an admiration for its intentions, to
vote for it to the bitter end. But Red
Harvest" which, as I have tried to
point out, has equal or even better in
tentions, lacked the other all-impor-
tant quality, and so received none Of
the applause that at least softened the
failure Of Johnny Johnson" There
was no play to go with the bitterness
of Red Harvest" and you had the
feeling that the author had provided q
fine, stirring and properly terrifying
background and then forgot to set a
living drama against it. 1t is a great
pity, because there has been no stage
picture Of the authentic horror Of
wartime suffering to equal it.

In the interest of making the picture
accurate, however, the play concen-
trated so much on the pleasanter side
of prison life that, in the end, you were
inclined to wonder not only why any

The condition is not HollyWood's s

behind its tendency to make pictures

with the idea of killing the practice
Of double billing of feature pictures.

GONE of its best friends and severest
critics, however, are less disap-
pointed over the fact that it is making
pictures longer than by the manner of
making them so. Too often, length is
attained by the repetition of a good
gag or the protraction of funny Sc
quence until it becomes a downright
bore.
Thinking back, one recalls Jack
Benny's last picture, college Holi-
day" 1t was a fair picture and a
successful one, but it might have been
better and more successful with faster
pacing. There was one sequence, for
instance, showing the principals and
a trainload of collegiate lads and girls
on a tranScontinental journey. Be-
fore it ended one had the impression
that the group was going to Holly
wood from New York by way of Lon
don and Omsk.
Every now and then in the course
of the trip, Martha Raye relieved the
monotony (probably her own as well
as the audience'S) by socking some one
in the jaw. Even that way of abating
monotony, however, eventually became
monotonous.
Another excellently conceived Sc
quence in the same picture was the
chariot dash, with Oracle Allen at the
relns and George Burns being taken
for ride. 1t was one of the most
amusing stunts Hollywood has thought
up in long time. That is. it was for
the first 80 miles or so until one be-
gan to fear the chariot was going to
cover the same course taken earlier
by the train. Amusement gave way
then to alarm.

Sun, the most damning charge to
be brought against war is, not that it
is foolish, but that it makes men
suffer, for this is not yet rational
universe. The fact that a simple in
nocent, who Is completely honest and
good, shows up by contrast the fool
ish indecencies of warfare is not
terribly vital and to the point, because
none of us can find that whole
souled innocence within his own ex-
perience. But. while none Of us can
experience such complete simplicity
of spirit, all of us can experience
physical anguish, and, therefore, the
most successful antiwar propaganda
| is that which shows us, not the fool
ishness of commanding officers, but
the hideous killing and manning of
battle.
THE most overrated quality in the
world is, of course, the sense of
humor. A delightful trait in social
relationships and the most charm
ing of mankind's luxuries, it has the
misfortune to possess self-corrod-
ing aspect that makes for inaction
and futility. Upon occasion it may
enable one to face life with addi-
tional courage, but it is more likely
to turn and rend its possessor by
filling him with doubts, uncertainties
and self-depreciation. It is the most
escapist Of qualities. 1t Is the spirit
OF negation itself.
The perfect possessor Of the sense
Of humor WAS poor Hamlet, who was
most delightful fellow personally,
but was cursed by the demon of
laughter, which took sly possession
OF him and made him incapable of
successful action. He preferred to
mock things, rather than do anything
about them. In the same way, it
isn't enough to make fun of war; we
must be filed with loathing for the
suffering 1t causes If we are to do
anything to stop it. For this rea-
son I am convinced that RED Har-
vest" which is filled with agonizing
physical horrors, is more persuasive
as propaganda than Johnny John
