DON'T FORGET CHILDREN

The city election is over. Soon the
mayor and council will be thinking of
the years work ahead, and it seems a
most opportune time for those inter-
ested in the youth of the community
to bring up the subjects of a commun-
ity playground and community build
ing to be constructed somewhere
within the city limits.
The golf course will be completed
this spring and the councilmen are
meeting this month to discuss a way
to organize and place the project on a
business basis-one that will make it
paying proposition within a reason
able time. Any profits from the golf
course might well be put aside for a
or community building.
The responsibility to the youth of
our town will remain as long as there
are families, and there is no tendency
at present showing a decrease in the
Continued interest, however,
on the part of all parents, and full CO.
operation with the mayor and council,
are needed to eventually bring such
things to pass.

for public office. If they do not attend
the meeting, sometimes they don't
even know they have been nominated
until the ballots are distributed on the
day of the election.
There is already law on the stat
ute books providing for a registration
in Oakland prior to elections, but in
the opinion of the city attorney the
law is invalid and contradicts the town
charter. That is the reason it has been
allowed to lie dormant.
For the best interests of good gov
eminent and everybody concerned, it
should be the duty of the Mayor and
Council to have an act drawn to pre-
sent to the next General Assembly
providing for a registration of all vot-
ers in the town.
If a resident desires to run for Of
flee he would have the privilege of
filing his candidacy. If he did not care
to become a candidate he would not
be embarrassed annually by a group
of otherwise well-meaning people
who seem to delight in nominating
everybody they can think of at these
citizens meetings. The council can
well afford to spend some time think
ing about these two suggestions.

THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1888.
TWO GLARING MISTAKES

The municipal elections in Oakland
for the past years have brought forth
two glazing mistakes, which need cor
rection, in the opinion of The Repub-
lican.
The first is that there is no abso-
lutte method of proof as to who resides
within the corporate limits and who
does not-no registration system of
any kind showing who the qualified
voters are. If there should be a close
race for any office, there's no telling
who would be brought into the voting
place to cast ballot.
The second mistake is that there
is no system for filing for a position
on the ticket. The method used at this
time is entirely inadequate and highly
unsatisfactory to many, even to those
whose names are presented at the
open meetings prior to the election.
One never knows whether the per
sons nominated desire to run or not.
and at times it is highly embarrassing
to individuals whose names are pre-
scented without their knowledge and
have no desire to become candidates
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1938-03-17

The mayor and members of council
are interested.
Already the members OF the Fire
Department have discussed COM
munity building, taking upon them
selves the responsibility Of financing
the construction. Bigger quarters are
needed for the Fire Department and
equipment, and they have talked of a
building with a large auditorium. On
the first floor would be the fire house
and rooms for organizations.
Perhaps if enough interest was Gre
ated by all Of US, some public spirited
citizen would donate sufficient ground
properly located for building and
playground adjoining. 1t would be an
everlasting memorial in his honor and
certainly would bring intense satisfac-
ton within himself for a public service
well rendered.
Without the help of the citizens of
Oakland, The Republican could write
and write editorials, to no avail.
But with editorials and some active
interest upon the part of individuals,

The excitement Of . Lone Ranger"
episode never equaled that with which
M. Renoir infused this part Of his story,
and the later one when one of the
Officers sacrifices his life that two Of
his companions might escape from .
supposedly escapeproof fortress. Sus-
pense Is not handled so we'll in most
nlms which are supposed to be full
of it.
While the tone OF Grand Illusion"
Is solemn. there Is a nice intermingling
OF comedy and pathos in the elaborate
incident Of the story. The sudden
shift from the one mood to the other
is one Of the most effective features
of the film. It Is done best in a Sc
quence in which the prisoners give
one Of those wartime musical COM
edies. with an all-male cast. When
the performance Is reaching its gro
tesque best, word comes Of the recap
ture of town by the French Army,
news which turns out to be signal
for the performers to insnlt their
German audience by singing the
"Marseillaise
Romance il another ingredient Of
Grand Illusion" In a gentle. tender
nterlude following the escape scene,
the picture illustrates that it is possible
for an idyllic love to spring up between
q wounded French soldier and the
widow OF q German who was killed in
the trenches.
Such is the scope of M. Renoir's
effort to demonstrate that strife Is
mans ugliest manifestation. Among
the actors who help him. the one best
known to American audiences Is Eric
Won Strohein. As the German military
artistocrat who learns the futility of
conflict. Won Stroheim gives an excel
lent performance. So does Pierre
Fresnay. who plays an equivalent role
as the noble, naughty French captain.

Able support for the heroine comes
from the juveniles in the cast as well
as its adult members. Best of the lot
Is Jackie Cooper, who gives q sur
prisingly capable performance in the
role Of the lad who loved, lost and then
re-won Deanna. Least capable among
the large gang of children which the
picture boasts is Peggy Stewart as the
pest baby sister whose next line,
probably because Of the way the part
was written, always threatens to be
Aren't I cute?"
Catchiest Of the melodies which the
team Of Jimmy McHugh and Harold
Adamson have written for That
Certain Age" is that pretty thing,
You're as Pretty as a Picture" BE
q Good Scout" the other one, is a bit
too topical and not sufficiently melo-
dious to make much Of dint unless
Deanna sings it. Her classical bits are
the waltz aria from Gounod's Romeo
and Juliet" and Les Files Des Cadiz," :"
which sounds, and is, quite appropriate.
That Certain Age" the title song,
lacks the distinction Of earlier numbers
with which Deanna has won the hearts
of her fellow countrymen.
The intelligent, sympathetic direc-
ton which is characteristic Of Deanna's
pictures is provided in this instance by
Edward Ludwig. It never misses. The
film, also as usual, Is sumptuously
produced.
1t is all very charming, indeedl
Evening star., 1938-10-14

It is SuCn a mdJteT VI peiSolihl eooVo
that we refuse to quarrel about it, is
that the music does not seem to be up
to the level attained in the past.
That Certain Age" is a screen
drama tailored to the specifications OF
the child star who is nearest to Snow
White in her ability to charm movie
audiences. 1t recognizes that Deanna
is growing up, not grown up mind
YOU, but of that age when children
find it necessary TO remind parents
they also we're young once. 1t is a
period in which an intelligent, dis
cerning script writer can find dra-
matte elements that aim straight for
the heart, whether the heart be old
or young. Bruce Manning is the in
telligent, discerning script writer who
turned the trick so neatly for Uni
versal, Deanna, and the movie public
in this case.
In THAT Certain Age" Deanna
has her first infatuation. Its object,
an urbane war correspondent in his
middle thirties, is played with just
the proper balance of impatience,
tenderness. and adult obtuseness by
the unfailingly fine Melvyn Douglas.
There is not a quality missing among
the assets which Douglas brings to
the Job of charming little girl who,
tired of boys her own age, has reached
the period when she needs hero to
worship Most impressive of them is
the adult myopia which blinds him
to the havoc he is creating in the emo
tions of the child.
It sounds poignant. and it is, but it
also has wide areas of delightful COM
edy as those affairs always do.
Deanna's role is the most exacting
of her four-picture career. She is re-
ouired to delineate infatuation from
its most acute heartaches to its exu-
berant adolescent joys. She does 1t
with the awareness of an actress who
Is giving just about the best perform
ance of her career. She is completely
captivating whether she is cunningly
saving the object of her infatuation
from his own reckless nature, finding
Joy in his slightest attention, or being
hurt by his unawareness Of her affec-
ton.
Mr.. Manning has not tried to remove
a single wrinkle from the face OF a
plot which has the grace and charm
of great age On the contrary. he al
lows his spirited heroine and her fellow
players to give every familiar situation
a fresh appeal. That was very smart
of him.
The familiar situations which get
the freshening treatment include
Deannas rejection of her playmates
as you kids" her constantly nettle-
some solicitude for the health of her
adored, her sudden willingness to go
to bed in order to dream of him. her
immensely solemn judgments of him
in her diary. All very merry are these
interludes, but the best of the lot is
that in which Deanna, determined to
dress the part of woman in love
with hero, appears in a strapless
