years of idleness he is back in
pictures to stay a while. 1t is not
difficult to believe, for Washington's
gift to mushy music does a superb
job of resurrecting himself from the
comparative oblivion he has occu-
pied in recent years.
The story of Rose of Washington
Square" is more than an excuse for
that cavalcade of vaguely remem-
bered ragtimee. The music fits very
snugly into the narrative of an
ambitious team of vocalists miss
Faye and folsom, broken up by the
fatal charm of the ne'er- -do-well
(Power). The original pair, both of
them eventually successful profess
sionally, are constantly having their
private hearts broken by the mis-
deeds OF the latter. It all ends up
happily, however. with Power on his
way to prison to serve a five-year
period of regeneration and with his
toast of Broadway wife promising
to wait for him.
1t is tale to evoke memories on
the part of elders of what musical
comedy used to be before it had to
develop social consciousness
Youngsters will find it period piece,
but a piece from a period which had
its undeniable virtues.
The songs which spring full blown
from the sweet old script, in addition
to those mentioned, include such
veterans as "Ja-Da," Always Chas-
ing Rainbows," Everybody Loves a
Baby" Avalon" I'm Sorry I Made
You Cry" The Curse of an Aching
Heart" and about a dozen others.
In consuming two hours to pass a
given point, which is a bit too long,
Mr.. Zanuck's old hit parade gives its
audience many spacious peek at
New York in the horse and buggy
days. In other words, it is produced
with all the lavishness that went
into "Alexander's Ragtime Band"
That, of course. was lavishness
amounting to opulence.
However, scope was part of the
good life in the days when those
songs were being sung.

Ninth Revue Intime
Set for Tomorrow

Reaching into the circus press
! agents book, Phil Hayden steps
forth to announce that plenty of
pleasing pulchritude and torrid
, terpsichorean tempos" are promised
tomorrow night in the ninth an
nual Revue Intime of the Phil Hay
den Studios. Two hundred pupils
of the studios will take part in the
production, which will be staged
in the main ballroom of the Willard
Hotel.
Thirty-six numbers make up the
program, which includes ballet. tap,
acrobatic, musical comedy and all
other forms of dancing taught at
the studios. Mr.. Hayden created all
the routines and wrote the music for
80 of the numbers. The remaining
music was drawn from the classics.
Featured will be one number done to
the strains of medley Of Straus
WaltzeS.
Solomon and His Harem" and
La Rhumba." which will include
four different dances of this type,

of the citizens and the odds are
very good that he will be a richer
man when its run it's ended.
The picture, another cavalcade Of
music from the same general period,
and with a more plausible story,
opened today at LoeW's Palace. In
addition to the nostalgia charm Of
its melody, the picture has num-
Der of other piquant facets. One
is the return of Al Jolson, playing
Al Jolson to perfection, although
under an alias. Another is the
startling casting of Tyrone Power as
kind of wistful heel, a character
which he plays with vastly more
conviction than such heroes as Fer
dinand de LesSeps Baron Ferson,
etc. A third arresting element of
Rose of Washington Square" is the
presence of Alice Faye, whose vocal
izing is as good as her acting is bad
There is this to be said for Miss
Faye, and it is not to the discredit
of the picture, that she can give the
best bad dramatic performance of
any one in Hollywood. In her way
she can keep one as spellbound as
can Katharine Cornell in hers.
Miss Faye, of course, does not
need to touch Bernhardtish heights
to make her presence in the picture
happy. Her major functions are to
sing such throaty ballads as MY
Man" the pictures title song, and
a number of other tunes from the
period when romance was the Ma
tion's great dramatic theme. She
does very ably by the forgotten
poignance and sweetness of these
melodies and she does just as well
by her responsibility to look too lus-
cious to have been treated so badly
by the heel played by Mr.. Power.
To ask her to carry the deeply emo
tional moments of the drama with
the skill of a Duse, or even some
thing much less, simply would be
asking too much.
Jolson's portrait of the man who
sings nanny songs and who loves
and loses like gentleman already
has started furor in Hollywood

GESTURE TO GREECE
(Christian Science MOnitor)

Withdrawal of Italian troops from the
Albanian-Greek border where they had
been concentrated since the seizure of
Albania is interesting for the small ray
of light it throws on the course of Italy
in the European war.
Greece is a member of the front en-
gineered by Britain and France to halt
aggression. With Turkey it constitutes
the Mediterranean outpost of that front.
The inclusion of these states in the An
glo-French bloc helped to provide a
counterweight to the military support
which under the Axis might be given
by Italy to Germany. Moreover, it was
suspected that Greece might soon find
itself victim of Italian force; the
Greeks feared possible Italian seizure of
Corfu.
Thus the withdrawal of Italian forces
from the Greek border indicates that
Italy is preparing to settle down to a
long period of neutrality, and that it
does not consider this war as a safe op-
portunity to push efforts for Italian
aggrandizement. Italy's action may be
intended to reassure the Allies of its
good intentions, and TO remove at least
one cause of Allied pressure on Italy.
But as this war drags on, Italy will find
it harder and harder to preserve It's neu-
trality. And it is incOnceivable that any
gestures as this made to Greece will
serve to cOunterbalance in the Allies
consideration the fact that by remaining
neutral Italy is covering one front for
Germany.

MEMBER
KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY
TO WISE CRITICISM

Americans whose tendency is to criti-
c1ze the British and French for their sup
posed inactivity on the western front
should remember that they and not we
are fighting this war
The British and French general staffs
have been preparing for at least eight
years for such a conflict. They have
studied all possibilities. They have call
in the best advisors they could find. They
have sent spies into Germany to feel out
the situation there They have coordi-
mated economic and military knowledge
into a unified plan.
1t would be somewhat risky to say
that they do not know what they are do
ing on the western front. 1t would be
dangerous to anyone's reputation as an
expert to accuse them of tactical errors.
Maybe they are pulling their punch
es." Maybe they are doing it for a reason.
Maybe they are actually making a mis-
take. Americans are in no position to
know, and judging by the way allied
censorship is working the American pub
lie will never be in position to know.
for that reason, if for no other. such
remarks as the recent one by Senator
Borah that there 'is something phoney'
about this war are liable to rebound
against the speakers reputation as a
wise observer.
If the allies are making a mistake on
the western front, it is none of our busi-
ness. But, if we are wise, We will not
even venture the opinion that they are
doing So
After all, it would be good strategy
for the allies to lure the Germans into
a fruitless, man-killing attack on the
Maginot line. BY so doing the British
and French would suffer a minimum of
loss themselves, they would greatly re-
duce the enemy's number, and they would
bring nearer the day when the top
heavy German dictatorship is going to
crumble of its own weight.
The allies want to lose just as few
men as possible during the war. A light
ming attack in an effort to break through
the strong Siegfried line would cost
many thousands of lives. A program de-
signed to stir up revolt within Germany
tself-even though it takes longer =
would save allied lives.
Perhaps, after all, the French and
British are not babes in the woods when
it comes to military strategy.
History that is still to be written will
tell the story. Meanwhile, if we are
smart, we will refrain from criticism.

NO DICTATOR
FOR CALIFORNIA
(OroviIle Mercury-Register)

w SNiAAN -ANa III Nv soi'NN't
In California there has been no polti-
cal boss during this generation, it was
pointed out recently by c. c. Young,
former governor, in talk before one of
the sections of the Commonwealth club.
California has no Pendergast, no Hague.
This is good situation made possible,
said Young, by the primary system,
which he prefers because it eliminates
oossism in state politics.
The former Governor, on whose rec
ord there is no stain, brought out an
other interesting point that cOntradicts
popular impression.
''As to the charge that there are many
more lobbyists now than in the pre-pri-
mary days, this is, at least in one res
pect, healthful sign. As soon as the
boss system was abolished the complaint
arose that in order to get things done it
was necessary to see 120 men instead of
only one or two. From the standpoint
of democratic government. that is an
improvement
1t requires lot of lobbyists when
every member of the legislature must be
interviewed. Incidentally, worthy men,
bers of the legislature agree that there
are lobbyists and lobbyists, with the ma
lority of them of great help to the men,
bers. They do the preliminary work in
the analysis of bills, pointing out the
flaws and the good points, helping the
members to understand them. The bad
lobbyists are the ones who seek to buy
votes through entertainment, or worse,
but they haven't much Influence with
the worthy members, and they are not
50 numerous as is generally supposed
Getting back to bossism, it generally
spells corruption. Place too much power
in any one mans hands and he very like
ly will abuse it. Let us keep in mind the
need of decentralizing power. California
must never have a dictator.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON

Imperial Valleys high school football
season will open within the next few
days. On practically every high school
campus in the valley young men are con-
ditioning themselves now for the con-
tests that will follow. The physical
training they will derive during the sea-
son will stand them in good stead
throughout the rest of their lives. 1t is
not, however, the most important lesson
they can learn on the football field.
The greatest lesson of all to be taught
by coaches and teachers is this: Be
sportsman. If you win, win gracefully.
If you lose, lose cheerfully-and resolve
to do better next time.
Once learned, that lesson helps make
all of life easier, and it brings success
closer. There is no better place in the
world to learn it than on an athletic
field. And there is no more important
part of the lesson than this: be a good
loser.
A bad loser demonstrates a poor opln-
ion of himself, ard so gives others poor
opinion of him. If his opinion of his op-
ponent is bad, then what should his opin-
ion of himself be, when he loses to that
opponent?

recurrence of the sabotage cases
of the last war.
Incidentally it's cases don't often
land in court-or haven't so far.
Six times, in the last three years,
have its cases resulted in actual
convictions in court for violation
of the espionage statutes.
More often, it has been found
that court trials were not neces-
sary
Instead, the evidence is simply
turned over to the State Depart
ment, which quietly gets in touch
with the representatives of the
foreign nation involved. The man
who has been doing the spying is
called home, and that ends it. Now
with actual war on, of course,
things are apt to be trifle tough
