"RosoIie" For
Columbia

"Rosalie," which co-StarS Mel
son Eddy and Eleanor Powell,
and opens at the Columbia Fri
day for a repeat engagement, is
described as the most lavish
musical in the annals Of mo-
tion pictures.
Madame Albertina Rasch,
after searching the country,
gathered together 500 of the
best ballerines for the numbers,
not to count another $50 tap
dancers and 1875 acrobatic
teams, which the dances in
cluded.
With Miss Powell and Eddy
are such screen favoriteS as
Frank Morgan, Edna May
Oliver, Ray Bolger, the new Eu-
ropean singing sensation, nona
Massey, Reginald Owen and
others:
The story concerns the love
and adventures of a West Point
cadet who follows his girl to
Europe only to discover she's a
princess. A thrilling series Of
events brings them together
again. The new musical was
directed by w. S. Van Dyke I'd,
and includes nine hit tunes by
Cole Porter.

the ruse employed to build up
the singing star.
This launches the Ben VS..
Walter feud, carried on via
column and radio, winding up
with a kidnapping sequence IN
which the audience is let in on
the fact that it's all a gag, per-
petrated at the expense OF Mr..
Bernie. A pip of a finish.
Director Sidney Lanfield seems
to possess the secret of making
these light and airy stories seem
more important than they are.
The secret is. I think, in the
way he blends his music and
works in the comedy by-play OF
secondary principals.
In this case his secondarles
are Bert Lahr and Joan Davis,
a very capable comedy pair, al
though they have not been
treated any too generously by
authors and composers. Never
theleSS they contrive to make
their moments of prominence
among the best in the picture.

When the box office opened,
the tickets for the performance

rived. They are special tickets,
designed as souvenirs of the Oc-

took longer than was expected.
Patrons who stood in line
merely left their money and
took seat locations. They will
receive their tickets later.
Seats are still available in the

The Hearts of Men

Because Gallaudet College is unique
in that 1t Is the only institution of its
kind for the deaf, its seventy-f fifth
anniversary, beginning Sunday, tran
scends merely local significance and
becomes of worldwide interest.
With Georgetown University cele-
brating its sesqui-centennial and
Catholic University its golden jubilee
this year, it is equally fitting that at
tention be focused on Gallaudet,
which for three-quarters Of century
has been educating the deaf Of Amer
lea and the world to live in hearing
society.
After seventy-five years Of life,
Gallaudet College can look back on
a group of hundreds Of men and
women graduates now earning good
incomes, driving their own cars, own
ing their own homes and raising nor
NAL families. It can look back also
on a large number of hearing men
and women, often children Of Gallau-
det graduates, who have taken Its
normal course and gone forth to
teach the deaf in the schools Of the
world.
Former Secretary Of Interior Will
bur was not exaggerating when he
said: "Gallaudet is representative of
the hearts of men as we'll as of their
intelligence"

Excelsior in Eclipse

A reactionary serpent has raised
Its ugly head in Greenbelt, the Eden
OF the New Age. On the surface the
matter is innocent enough. A resi-
dent pointed out that since he had
lived In the community he had been
called upon every week to attend
civic meetings of one sort or another.
He suggested one week be set aside
as "stay-at-home week" in which all
meetings would be Cancelled. The
proposal was adopted by the citizens
unanimously.
Innocent as this may seem, it is
heresy. If the proposal had the sup
port OF only one resident it might
be put down as the mere beginning
of a Bourbon infiltration. But it
was adopted unanimously. This can
only mean that buggy ism
has taken hold.
Where are the Nations vast expert
ments in regimentation to end If, in
the model closest to the Capital,
citizens unanimously prefer staying
at home and minding their own busi-
ness to organizing details of their
own and their neighbors' lives?

United Front

Harry N. stull, speaking at a Joint
meeting Of the Executive Committee
of the Campaign Council and the
Resolutions Committee OF the Citl-
zens' Conference, urged "a united
front" for National Representation
for the people of the District of Co
lumbia. "Publicize the fact that we
are in agreement on the principal
things in our program" he suggested.
And his logic certainly needs no
apology. Differences on problems of
procedure, obviously, would serve
merely to delay the ultimate victory
toward which all groups, all indi-
vidual citizens, are working.
The Referendum taken on April 80
last and the subsequent presentation
of evidence before the House Judici-
ary Committee illustrated the feasi-
bility of cooperation among the
civic forces interested in the drive
for political and fiscal equity. This
spirit must be maintained through
out the campaign for the ballot that
interested citizens are now planning.
For there is no serious or funda-
mental difference Of opinion over
ultimate objectives nor enough diff
ference over methods of approach to
risk a division of forces and conse-
quent loss of strength.

lyze each fatality to zee If any pre-
ventive steps might be taken.
Only one death has occurred on
the roads Of the county since the
council was formed in July. If the
councils study does no more than
keep the spotlight on the fatality for
while it will have accomplished
something, for the public is prone to
forget such tragedies too quickly.
But 1t probably will accomplish more.
The councils very existence and its
many activities, including a safety
contest among truck operators, is
evidence Of the safety consciousness
Of Arlington'sscitizens-of their de-
termination to prevent their roads
from becoming death traps and of
their enthusiastic efforts to maintain
and develop a community free from
the traffic toll which many sections
traversed by such roads as the Lee
highway and U. S. Route accept as
inevitable.

Furnishing Culture

The Nazis in their anxiety for iso-
lation are guilty of Furnishing uni
versal culture. They have banned
the famous folk song, "Lorelei," be-
cause the words were written by
Heinrich Heine, a Jew. And they
have forbidden the singing OF II
Raise Mine Eyes Unto the Stars" be-
cause the music was composed by
Felix Mendelssohn, also a Hebrew.
OF course, Germany can survive
without alien art. Nations may turn
hermit, If they wish. Such foolish
ness is possible. But it ought to be
consistent. The plays of William
Shakespeare, for example, are as
foreign in the Reich as THE Song of
Solomon" Logically, then, they
ought not to be performed. Similar
ly, radium should be eschewed be-
cause it was discovered by the Curies,
a Frenchman and his Polish wife.
The paintings of the great Italians
Titan, for instance-should be ban
ished from the galleries of Berlin.
Even the Pergamon Hall ought to be
dismantled, since it is Greek.
Carried to its rational conclusion,
the Nazi philosophy of independence
would eliminate everything not def
nitely homemade" The question is:
Would the Germans themselves like

it, II they were completely shut of
from participation in the natural
progress Of cultural development
throughout the world? Some, chau-
vinistically, might answer in the af-
firmative; the majority would be apt
to prefer a greater freedom Of choice.
Time was-not so very long ago
when the average citizen Of Germany
prided himself upon his capacity for
the appreciation Of beauty and truth
wherever he found it, whatever its
source. The sooner the Nazis aban-
don their crusade on values raceless,
timeless and sacred because universal
in character, the better it will be for
everybody, not excluding the present
apostles Of intolerance.
