French pledges and Is mortally
afraid Of italy and Germany.
The reason why this fundamental
fact does not appear in public state
ments is simply the theory that 1t is
wise to smooth the potential ag-
gressors and that 1t is not impera-
lively necessary publicly to thank
the friend who can be depended
upon as well whether you thank him
or not. One newspaper, indeed, in
a column parallel to the Chamber
lain and Daladier declarations,
prints vague and eulogistic ex-
planation today of the system Of
authoritarian government such as
Greece has under Gen. Metaxas.
Certainly the Metaxas dictator
ship is not joining an theological
bloc with the democracies- ma
tional interests clearly bind Greece
to Britain If Britain really is de-
termined at long last to defend her
own position in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean.
If Mr.. Chamberlain wavers and
whittles down the meaning of his
pledge henceforth, the story may
be far different.
1t is in line with realities of the
situation that observers point out
that in Mr.. Chamberlains pledge
he named Greece first and Rumania
second, whereas Mr., Deladier named
Rumania first and Greece second.
Just the same there is good reason
to believe that-as a result of the
anxiety not to do anything here
which would involve an open posi-
ton against Mussolini and Hitler

Greece Greets British
Defense Pledge
With Silence
Officials Grateful, but
Continue Policy Of
Soothing Duce
BY FRANK SMOTHERS,

chicaso Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
ATHENS, April IA (by radio) -
The Anglo-French guarantee of
Greece and Rumania is greeted in
Athens with lively satisfaction-and
profound silence.
The theory here, as in so many
lands, is that nothing must be said
to inf1ame the axis; and that one
must speak sweetly to Reichsfuehrer
Hitler and Premier Mussolini.
Thus there has been no public
statement of official thanks to Prime
Minister Chamberlain of Great
Britain and Premier Daladier of
France up to this hour for promis-
Ing all the power of their countries
to protect Greece. The newspapers
carry the declaration as big news
and thank the guarantors-but very
cautiously.
The lack of a statement from
Premier John Metaxas is all the
more striking in view of his glowing
thanks to Mussolini for the latter's
declaration earlier in the week that
he did not have designs on Greece,
and subsequent Hellenic newspaper
comment, repeated today, telling of
Greece's satisfaction in II Duce's an
nounced friendly intentions.
But in actual fact Greece is
plentifully grateful for the Anglo

Among countless questions asked
here concerning the big Hitler party
are:
Il. Will Hitler clinch the Bull
garians at this time?
%. Will he continue the axis game
of immobilizing Yugoslavia?
"3. May he push a deal for an
Italian or German protectorate over
Greek Macedonia, including the
strategic gem, Salonika, by backing
the Macedonian irredentists? And
over the Yrgoslav section Of Mace
donia?"

as a result Of military preparations
on the Spanish side, and with
Hitlers birthday party slated for
April 20, the Greeks are full of
foreboding.
1t is particularly marked here that
Greece's neighbor, Bulgaria, is ex-
pected to include representatives of
her three fighting services in her
delegation to Hitler's party-at
which the Yugoslavs, Rumanians
and Turks are also to be represented
with their varying fears and varying
wills and abilities to resist Hitler.

Rose hampton Sings
To Club Audience

Rose hampton, soprano, "one of
the stars of the galaxy of stars of the
Metropolitan Opera" as she was
introduced by Mrs. Charles Nc
Laughlin of the Congressional Club,
gave a short program yesterday
afternoon as a guest of that organi-
nation at its annual breakfast at
the Raleigh Hotel given in honor
of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Cordially received by the distin-
guished assembly and enthusiastic
cally encored at the close of her
program, Miss hampton displayed
an admirable voice noted for its
range and timbre. This versatile
prima donna, who only seven years
ago made her debut at the Metro
politan Opera as a contralto. singing
the taxing role Of Laura in La Gio-
conda," has turned. within recent
years, to the greater field offered
by the literature for soprano voice.
She chose for this occasion one of
the immortal arias. Pace, Pace
Mic DID," from Verdi's La Forza
del Destino," which she sang with
effect and ringing quality of tone.
A bouquet of red roses presented
after the aria was additional ap-
probation as Miss hampton gave Of

this particular number.
The varied program consisted of
Schubert's "Wohin," Mahler's Itch

familiar "Chere Mutt" Rave1's

of the more significant achieve
ments of the cinema in recent
months. John Wayne and Glare
Trevor are its chief players but that
makes no difference because the film
produced by Walter Wanger and di-
rected by John Ford, tells story
that is dramatic beyond the neces-
sity of using players whose names
will pack the theater.
The cynical movie goer can say of
"Stagecoach" that it Is glorified
horse opera; in other words West
ern" produced on more elaborate
scale than the usual picture of its
type. Indeed, the cynic may say that
without contradiction from either
Mr.. Wanger or Mr.. Ford. In attempt
ing to catch the spirit that built the
United States West of the Mississip-
pi, sponsors of the picture frankly
have resorted to every melodramatic
device in the book. They have had
babies. well, one baby, born in
Stagecoach, they had had a battle
with the Indians with a cowboy
band coming to the rescue, and they
have utilized everything else that
came out of the backed tales
you read as a boy All of them have
been handled in a fashion that
makes them of extraordinary be-
lieveability and appeal to even the
hardest boiled member of the au-
dience.
Hokum. let it be said, never has
been more completely and wisely
used. Until it has done so too often,
Hollywood may glorify the western"
picture to its own and the audiences
advantage. Dodge City" was its
most recent effort in that direction
"Stagecoach" is its current one The
two are by no means too much Of
a resort to the same theme to make
the subject look overdone.
A good. sound cast playing per-
fectly conventional characters gives
genuine luster to the entertainment
inherent in "Stagecoach." Miss
Trevor, always more or less hard
boiled girl. gets her most hard boiled
role in "Stagecoach" in which she
plays the part of female so lacking
in rectitude that she is asked to leave
town. A very good portrait she
makes of it. The same may he
said of Thomas Mitchell as the
drunken frontier doctor, of John
Carradine as the traditional gamb-
Ter, of Burton Churchill as the repre-
sentative of Righteousness in that
unrighteous land. AS might be eX-
pected, the twistings of the plot
find great deal of good in the worst

Numerous sequences Of the pic
ture have q dramatic excellence
beyond the intimations of the plot.
Outstanding among them is that in
which the whites come to grips with
the Apaches. Mr.. Ford has fairly
outdone himself-quite an achieve
ment-is this particular area of the
film. In the hands of less skilled
director, the whole thing might have
been just another inter-racial con-
flict but not in this case. It is the
climax toward which the picture
builds with extraordinary qualities
of suspense and when 1t finally ar
rives, the wait is more than justified.
In sharp contrast with the vio-
lence, the action of the film in its
more standard passages, there is an
extraordinary tenderness about
those which deal with such bits as
the birth of that frontier baby. Mr..
Ford ever was a subtle director in
that respect and he has done more
than usually well on this occasion.
Photographically, even without
technicolor to give it stature,
"Stagecoach" is one of the most
impressive films you ever have seell
1t depicts an America which not
only should be seen first, but last
tribute to those who did the loca-
ton surveys beyond that Of any re-
cent film.
Definitely, "Stagecoach" belongs
among the most dramatic bits of
Americana which the movies have
dug up In recent months.
