suddenly break the tie that has bound
them together for quarter of CEN
tury or more?
We were discussing this new phase
of the divorce question the other day.
and a woman said: 1T is incompre-
hensible. I can understand how the
young. who lack patience and disci-
pline and who think that life should
be handed them on silver salver
wreathed with roses. can rush of to
the divorce court just because their
mates have ceased to fire their fancies.
or failed to measure up to their ideals,
but I can't understand why a man
and woman who have lived together
for rs or 80 years can't 60 on and
finish the journey together.
"You would think that in that
length of time they would have be-
come 50 much Injured to each others
faults and peculiarities that they
would have got 50 that they hardly
noticed them, and that they would
have developed some sort of working
technique of getting along together.
You would think that after having
been yokemates for so long each
would be lost without the other and
that nothing would make them sep
arate."
"pERHAPS the reason that they do
part is because they have en-
dured each other for 25 years and
have come to the point where they
can't stand 1t another minute" said
another woman. Their resistance
has Worn out. Their fortitude is ex-
hausted. Their nerves are frazzled
out, and they feel 1t is Reno or death
with them.
Cant you imagine man who Is
married to a dull, stupid woman who
has bored him to tears for IS years
feeling that II he has to stand one
more deadly, long, tiresome evening
with her that he will be taken away
screaming to psychopathic ward?
Can't you realize how a man married
to q nagger who has threshed over
the same grievance and told him three
times a day how bad everything he
likes to eat was for his stomach feels
that it has got to be divorce or
murder?
"Cant you understand how q woman
who is married to an arguer, or a
crouch, or . chronic objector, gets 30
fed up with yes-yesing him and try
ing to get along with him that she
just throws up her hands and quits?
And can't you imagine why the wife
of the philanderer or the drunkard
wants to call it a day and take q
rest after she has forgiven him for
years and years? Human nature. even
woman's brand of human nature, can
stand about so much and then 1t

sands Of uncongenial husbands and
wives stay together in order to make
a home for their children until they
are grown and on their feet. They
are among the heroes and the MARTYRS
of the world"
Still another reason" said the
fourth woman. why there Is so much
divorce among the middle aged is be-
cause it is last frantic grab at
love and romance and happiness by
the mismated. So many good, fine
men and women are so bitterly un-
happy in their marriages Maybe
they married too young and one out
grew the other. Maybe warm
hearted. affectionate man or woman
has a human lcicle for a wife or
husband. Maybe they are just tenn
peramentally uncongenial and incom-
patible.
They endure these marriages, hop
ing while they are young that some
miracle will happen that will change
their mates nearer to their hearts
desire. Then they fall into kind Of
apathy of misery that makes them
carry on because they are too sunk
to even rebel against their fates.
Then. suddenly, they wake up. They
realize that youth is nearly gone and
that if they are ever to have any Joy

even any peace, they must secure it
for themselves now.

A TTRIBUTED to one Of the

full thing is a hangover. So is a
British B picture. Look Out for
Love" may not have been on the
B schedule when Herbert Wilcox
made it. but you can hear it buzz
anywhere within a seven-block radius
of the Belasco Theater.
This one might not have hurt so
much-it might have been a pass
able light entertainment-had it not
been preceded by the legend PRO
duced and Directed by Herbert Will
cox" Had you talked to Mr.. Wilcox
that time he visited Washington you
would have come away with the i'm
preston that here was an astute
citizen, q movie-maker upon whom
you could depend for at least honest
II not spectacular entertainment. So
now he has taken Anna Neagle, q
one-time chorus girl, whom he dis
covered, built up to stardom, even
made Queen Victoria in a picture
called Victoria the Great" and made
her q chorus girl again. And he has
done it in the one about the poor
girl who is given aid on the road
to her career without her knowledge
by the fellow who loves her, but
nobly refuses to show 1t. Mr.. Wilcox,
you have let us down.
There's Just possibility that we
may be wrong about this, for inside
the Belasco's program is an an

IN Of the various entertainments
the cinema affords. to pause
and consider some item which stands
out like st. Bernard at Peke show
and wonder if it really is as good as
it seems or If it just seems SO because
it is so refreshingly different. Such
q picture is 1.-The Wave" which the
Little Theater management finally
has procured and is displaying with
no little pride. The first impulse OF
any one who sees a couple of hundred
films in the course of a year is to lapse
into none too quiet ecstacies over this
simple, forceful and handsomely
photographed story Of battle for ex-
istence.
1t is easy to rave thus about ''The
Wave" AS the story of struggle
of a people it ranks with Man of
Aran" and any of those other notable
achievements of Robert Flaherty. Paul
Strand. who photographed and super
vised the production, is an artist OF
rare ability and the seacoast of AL
varado in Mexico has provided him
backgrounds for some hauntingly
beautiful camera studies. But Strand
does not employ handsome photog-
raphy merely as handsome photog-
raphy: instead he makes it live. The
simple peasant fisherfolk who are the
actors in 1.-THE Wave" also contribute
to its forcefulness by playing which
is completely natural, because they are
impersonating only themselves. And
the story, Strands camera work and
the musical score by Sylvestre Re-
vueltas has been blended together to
lend poetic flow to the force of the
drama Of the photoplay.
The difficulty, it seems to us, Is that
all this may not be too overpoweringly
pleasant to the film fan who seeks
only merry quip bit of romance
and easy escape. There is no escape
in "The Wave" but there is power
to it's telling and universally to its
story. 1t could as well have been
made at Youngstown or Detroit or
Chicago as in Alvarado. where fisher
men strive for decent living. To
the discriminating moviegoer, who
cannot completely forget there is a
world outside the walls of an air-cooled
film theater, THE Wave" is recon-
mended without reservation.
OF the revival of Elephant Boy"
which is the other half of the Little's
program, it will suffice to say now that
it IS one Of the best films ever pro-
duced by Alexander Korda, which is
saying enough. Adapted from Kip
ling's "Toomai OF the Elephants" it
is simple and effective cinema fare,
which will warm the heart and which
will thoroughly please any one who
is the slightest bit elephant minded.

OF Gne ldSC uVe years.
But there are exceptions to the rule.
Out at Warner Bros. the camera that
is drawing Margaret Lindsay into
Garden of the Moon" is not going to
show her as nearly so pretty as she
seems to the naked eye. That is, it
will not unless it is different than the
cameras which have registered Miss
Lindsay in previous pictures which we
have seen.
Even when she yawns, which she
did every time the director yelled
"cut" at the end of an intense emo
tional scene, Miss Lindsay is prettier
than most of the proud beauties at
which we are peeping daily.
Those yawns were dramatic, as
well as exquisite. The first one made
us want to 60 over to the costume
department., borrow some Robin Hood
raiment plus sword, and challenge
the Brothers Warner to a duel for
working Miss Lindsay so hard. The
second, third, fourth and fifth
changed our mind. 1t occurred to us
that maybe Miss Lindsay had been
out late the night before or that the
birds perhaps sang too loudly outside
her window at dawn. Whatever the
cause, it did not seem precisely right
to fight it out with the Warmers, who
are much bigger men than we are
anyway.
Miss Lindsay's yawns are going to
make the picture doubly interesting
for us. Until we see it we shall go
on wondering whether it may not be
the most interesting picture of the
year to us. When the scene in which
Miss Lindsay is glaring lot of burn
ing rage and hate at Pat O'Brien
comes on we shall remember that she
yawned Immediately after. And If
the memory does not mitigate the
effect of the rage. Miss Lindsay is
going to be one of our personally
greatest actresses.
She became one of our preferred
people during one of the IS intermis-
sions when she came over to our cor
ner of the stage and began to
reminisce about Washington. She
went to National Park Seminary at
Forest Glen, Md. and she does not
bat an eye Cor even yawn) when you
ask her the year of her graduation.
"It was. $780," she says. But 10
years from now probably wouldn't

1t was when Miss Lindsay was tell
ing about her affection and admira-
ton for Washington that we remem-
bered to tell her about commission
we had to execute, namely the one
from Harry Macarthur to bring her
back to him as present from Holly
wood.
Fine" said Miss Lindsay. "The
picture ends Saturday or Monday.
Shall we fly, or 60 by train?"
Then, as if visualizing Macarthur
at am. Miss Lindsay reflected a
minute, changed her mind.

can't. Warner Brothers might object.
