DR.. Cronin wrote into his story. The
final one in which the young doctor
has his last narrowing brush with
the ethics of his profession, is a
thing of strength which actually
transcends the force Of the same
interlude in the novel.
An excellent cast, one which OBJ
viously enjoyed wrapping its talents
around substantial dramatic piece,
contributes vitality to the transcript
ton to the screen. The part OF the
intense, uncertain, always basically
rebellious DR.. Manson is played
with understanding and deep SYM
pathy by Donat. The young ply
sician never is quite allowed to lose
his fundamental decency, the ideal
ism against which he turns so say
agely when it fails him in his con-
tact with the public which he sought
to serve. q
The gentle. simple, straight
forward Christine, the wife whose
loyalty to the pairs dream of &C
complishing good and living with
honor, Is turned into an excellent
screen portrait by Rosalind Russell.
Behind these two IS to be found
a group of some of England's best
performers. The besotted Denny
who rescued himself from his own
disappointment is done effectively
by Ralph Richardson, and the svelte,
superficial DR.. Freddie LaWford is
played by Rex Harrison, the young
leading man whom Hollywood is
almost bound to import sooner or
later. Others whose work stands
out are Emlyn Williams, the dram
atist-actor, and Francis L. Sullivan,
the latter giving lusty performance
as the sinister Ben Chenkin. Lesser
parts are cast with the skill which
is associated with British made pic
lures.
The Citadel" second of the pic
lures which Metro has made in
England is quite up to "A Yank at
Oxford from the standpoint of
production.
1t is vivid, dramatic, honest and
intensely human screen drama which
deserves the attention of every one,
especially those who have been Won
dering why movies have been so
cream-puffy lately.

on q vitally important subject gives
It an almost startling emphasis.
Based upon the enormously popu-

same name by DR.. A. J. Cronin, the

Rosalind Russell. examines certain
forces active in the medical profess
sion with the frankness and fearless
ness of the original Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer in sticking to DR.. Cro-
nln's last, has produced film that
Is highly entertaining, stimulating
and indicative of the fact that the
screen can do important things upon
occasion.
After courteous bow to the fine
and splendid things in the medical
fraternity. Metro takes DR.. Cronins
hand and sets about the task of
demonstrating that there are some
aspects of it which are neither fine
nor splendid. It's purpose is accom-
plished in recital of the story of
young DR.. Alfred Manson, a chap
who begins life with the fanatical
zeal of true scientist, is whipped by
the stuffiness of ethics, by misunder-
standings, injuStices and continued
poverty until his idealism crumples.
He becomes, in retaliation, a FASH
ionable doctor; an artist at stringing
along his wealthy patients; fellow
far removed from the earnest young
scientist whose life was dedicated
to the fiercest of loyalty to his
Hippocratic oath.
The basic narrative is counter
pointed with pleasant romance, a
marriage that starts in sweetness
and understanding only to evolve
Into ghastly carricature of it's origi-
nal self as the husband succumbs to
the vicissitudes of the system

Tribute to Mr.. Glover.

The Columbia Historical Society, meet
ing last evening to pay homage to the
memory of Charles c. Glover, discharged
a pleasant civic duty. 1t was and always
will be privilege to remember the per-
sonality and services of the banker
philanthropist who has been called, with
abundant reason, Washington's greatest
benefactor
But Mr. Glover himself never solicited
appreciation. Some one, as he saw it,
was needed to lead, to organize, to labor
for the improvement of the Nations
Capital. The work required doing and.
with the Instinct of a natural-born
builder. he wished to perform his share
of the task. Gradually he became the
architect of large portion of it-not
because he demanded the assignment,
but rather because he was especially
gifted for it.
Mr.. Glover was endowed with many
talents, including genius for making
his dreams into realities. He was a
visionary who possessed power to achieve
his ideals. Rock Greek and Potomac
Parks, number of the city's most con-
genial suburbs, the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art, Washington Cathedral, the Chill
dren's Hospital, the Public Library
these were indebted to him while he
lived and continue to be obligated to
him now that he has his rest.
More particularly, however, the COM
munity recalls Mr.. Glover with unfading
gratitude as one who symbolized the
social and cultural significance OF busi-
ness. His achievements for the city
trace back to the skill which he man
ifested in the art of stimulating honor
able commerce and industry. A prag-
matist, he knew that wealth is imperative
to progress. No society, he understood,
can rise by processes of negation. He
preached and consistently practiced the
philosophy of constructive optimism
faith in himself and in his fellows, loyalty
to his own conscience and that Of his
neighbors, confidence in the capacity OF
humanity to win the victories it must
have if it is to survive.
Dean Swift, of course, never heard OF
Mr.. Glover, but he forecast him when,
in the Voyage to Brobdingnag," he
wrote: "Whoever could make two ears
of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow
upon a spot Of ground where only one
grew before would deserve better Of
mankind, and do more essential service
to his country than the whole race OF
politicians put together"

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

The man who experiments with dogs
In this fashion actually may be rather
decent fellow in his private life. He
loves his home, and pats his own dog
tenderly, and no doubt would resent
nightly any fellow scientist taking Bozo
for like service to humanity"
There seems to many q real excuse
for the atrocities Of war.
War Is not nice, In any sense; it
means brutality all along the line. and If
men. in the heat Of killing. commit deeds
OF cruelty, 1t is in line with what they
already are doing.
But for man to tie dog down
and ruthlessly experiment on it to prove
or disprove something he has in mind
seems brutal beyond anything warfare
brings.
He leaves a nice home, where all is
tenderness, and goes to a back chamber
in some university, where he devotes the
rest Of his day to cruelties which, prop
erly presented to the public, would cause
vast upheaval of rage in the Nation.
The reason no such upheaval ever
comes Is because by the time the affair
gets into the scientific papers it is just
a ease" all buttressed by the ultimate
hope that some suffering man or woman
may be helped.
He pats his own Bozo on the head,
and then goes into charnel house where
the howls of somebody else's Fido are
hushed behind stone walls.
And there doesn't seem to be anything
that anybody can do about it.
Certainly nothing has been done
II any one protests. he or she is re-
garded as a crank, or sentimentalist,
as if the gentle Jesus was not regarded
by Trajan as crank, and as If sentiment
were some strange human malady which
tended to slap ones own grandmother
in the face.
No, there isn't anything that anybody
can do about it, especially man.
Jesus tried it two thousand years ago.
If there is ever anything done about
it, woman is going to do it.
Women could do it, but will they?
The time has not yet come, perhaps.
Women as group are just beginning to
feel their own power.
The cynic Schopenhauer said that they
dIc put CllllulCu VI d larger SIOWtll
Yet certain organizations in our own
country show what they can do when
they get together in the cause of good.

AS men, as group, have had their
Jesus and their Napoleon, SO women, as
a class. some day may produce woman
who will combine the love and gentle
ness of the one with the power and
drive of the other.
Then, and then alone, something may
be done about it.
The reign of law in human affairs
so far in the centuries has meant the
reign of force.
Some day the reign of law may work
on a different principle and mean the
reign of love in all its theoretical power
and glory, except then it will be actual,
not just a dream.
Then everybody's Fido will be safe
