k1WVOTy. 4O1 Comes alI0o6L ON C0o
heels of Mr.. Sam 0oldwyn's abandon
ment Of THE Exiles," the story Of
IN artist banned from NaN Germany,
which was planned for Jascha Heifetz.
Mr.. Goldwyn apparently would rather
be called dialectician than an anti
Nazi. ...
Mr.. Wanger, to be sure, has plenty
Of reason for being discouraged with
. lot Of the people in this world.
His Blockade" was . sincere and
honest effort, . step toward that
freedom Of the screen" desired by
those seriously interested In the photo
play. It had its faults as = motion
picture, Of course. The spy story,
for all the fact that it was nothing
new. would have stood alone rs better
than-average Aim melodrama. But
the drama of . civilian populace
suffering the starvation and tortures
Of war was so much bigger it dwarfed
the spy story and between the two
there was confusion.
The main difnculty Mr.. Wanger en-
countered in Blockade" was his at
tempt to denationalixe war. He At
tempted to give the picture the VIZ
tality Of today by setting it In today's
Spain, but that IS as far Is he went
toward Identification of any Of the
participants. BY inference one might
assume that the hero Was . loyalist,
but it Is only by inference, not by. Mr..
Wanger's implication.
This, however, has not stopped peo-
pie who would attack Mr.. Wanger.
Communist" is the cry most often
leveled at him. Blockade" has been
called everything from q trial balloon
for the red cause to q Trojan horse
hiding Marxist propaganda. One
then Is permitted to assume. Of course,
that the people who attack Blockade"
and its producer either condone the
starving and bombing Of women and
children or admit that this starving
and bombing Is one of the regular
pastimes Of their espoused cause,
which is opposed to Mr.. Wanger's
Communists" Certainly the at
tackers Of Mr.. Wanger are naming
the enemy for in the film the enemy
Is as abstract as any enemy could be.

are under way TO arrange this

I don't know just what has to

do think that. it will be a wonder
full thing for US If it can be put
over. We, as citizens OF Key
West, are interested in having our
town advertised as much as pos
sibIe In every way We can It Is
one thing to hire some one TO
write publicity and have items
printed IN all the large papers
and many Of the popular maya
zines And 1t Is another good
idea TO put our little seals on all
our mail and let the world know
we exist that way. On. there are
a good many ways to bring our
selves before the notice of the
public. But getting ourselves well
advertised on a major radio fea-
ture would in all probability give
us more publicity than anything
else right now
This thing is not outside the
realms of possibility / hope,
strongly. that It can be done. And
l want to put myself on record
