perhaps but one Of the most COM
pletely realized characterization
which has yet been brought to the
screen.
The tempestuous story of Eliza
beth, whose love for the handsome
swashbuckling and tragically am
bilious Essex was transcribed bv
her love for the job of queen, is
one of the screens more superlative
achievements. From the standpoint
OF entertainment, Is is no matter
that the queen is pictured as fate's
sad victim, woman pitilessly sun
dered from her emotions by her
position as the head of an empire.
She lived a dramatic life, as seen
from that perspective, and it makes
powerful material for screen
biography regardless OF any demur-
rers which history may offer to
details of the Aim story.
Maxwell Anderson's elizabeth the
Queen" provides the basis for the
technicolor achievement of Warner
Bros. Changes have been made in
the original, which was a brilliant
stage success, but they are by no
means a distortion of the Anderson
idea. AS a matter of fact, the film
version is faithful to q large extent
even IN its retention of the musical
dialogue of the original, a dialogue
which Is handled very effectively by
Miss Davis, Errol Flynn, Olivia de
Havilland and the others of the
studios virtually all-star cast.
1t all helps to make 'The Pri-
vate Lives OF Elizabeth and Essex"
an impressive accomplishment.
The same stage show, a pleasant
enough affair, is held over with the
picture.
After five weeks, two at the Earle,
the third now coming up at the
Metropolitan, there is nothing to be
said OF "Mr. Smith Goes to Wash
lngton," save that it is still at the
Metropolitan Five downtown
weeks speak too eloquently for them
selves That's Right, You're
Wrong" which brings Kaye Kyser

Day, will be screened Monday
Critics, therefore, may eat turkey
unmolested by a sense of duty
And tonight they will eat caviar, etc..

Movie Swordplay
Much Too Genuine

That sword battle you'll see be-
tween Ray Millsnd and Count
Arthur Cernitz in Hotel Imperial"
when you visit the Beverly theater,
is no bogus Hollywood fabrication.
II was filmed 80 realistically that
Milland was painfully injured and
narrowly escaped permanent dis
figurement.
Willard, who co-stars with lisa
Miranda in the film, was parrying
a cut from Cernitz's saber, when
his sword caught his opponents
sword near the hilt. Cernitz's
weapon broke at the point of the
parry, the end grazing the side
of Milland's head, innicting a pain
full cut. Only a lightning-fast
dodge by the romantic lead pre-
vented more serious injury.
The duelling skill Milland gained
as member Of the British Royal
Household cavalry came In handy
during his fight with cernitz. The
latter, the son Of former foreign
minister Of Austria-Hungary, was
trained in swordplsy from the
days of his earliest boyhood!

in state work, civil service laws nevertheless
do not escape sabotage for political exped-
iencv no matter which side is IN the drivers
seat.
Two wears ago Governor Benson feared
civil service as a wrench In party machinery.
A shortage of campaign funds was foreseen
if office workers could not be taxed TO help
maintain the party in power. by lnslstiig
on an impossible bill, civil service was avoid
ed. 1t was turning point in Benson popu-
larity.
The bill passed by the house Monday
takes equal cognizance of politics. BY re-
curing all persons in the employ OF the
state less than four and one-haH Wears to
take open competitive examinations, the. way
is cleared for the elimination of all whose
employment is at all recent. BY establish
ing a six months probationary period Tor
persons on the payroll for longer periods,
the bill drafters avoided 'blanketlng IN
anyone
The legislature has left the door open
for complete housecleaning. Assuming
the bill becomes a law without drastic
changes, pressure on the administration for
wholesale firing of holdovers will be tre-
mendous The legislature has succeeded in
making Governor Stassen solely responsible
for keeping his campaign promise not to dis
turb capable workers. In fact they have
made it as difficult as was humanity possible
While eventually this law may give the
state a capable staff of workers, use of the
methods so neatly provided for may easily
be the excuse for scuttling the whole thing
and starting over when next the party in
power changes.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE
movement to start highway 90 associa-
ton? And where, for that matter, is the
highway II association alternating? Not
discouraged by little talk of cutting high
