Movie Revues
GRAPES OF WRATH Is
OFFERED AT THE ROYAL

A deep stirring human appeal
has drawn immense audiences to
The Grapes of Wrath over a short
period of a few months. Daryl
Zanuck's now famous screen effort
on the popular Steinbeck novel,
which filled Wilmington's Carolina
Theatre on the local premier of
the picture a short time back, is
at the Royal theatre playing today
only for the benefit Of those who
have not een the widely discussed
subject and those who may wish
to see it again.
Under John Ford's honest direc-
ton the Joads come to life with all
the warmth, vitality and r ug &c d
humor that characterized Stein
beck's widely acclaimed novel.
Tom Joad, who is played by Henry
Fonda, remained the courageous f.
cure Steinbeck created. To follow
his adventures on the screen is an
experience no movie-goer can af-
ford to miss.
Jane Darwell's performance, as
Ma Joad, makes it impossible to
believe that Steinbeck did not have
her in mind when he created this
indomitable Oklahoma mother.
Jane carries her audience in the
palm of her hand while she laughs
and cries, scolds her brood and
defes the forces which would tear
her family apart.
What is by all odds one of the
most difficult roles in the picture,
that Of easy, the garrulous, cru
sading preacher, is carried off with
great distinction by John Cara
dine. As Grampa, Charley Grape
win turns in the best performance
of a long and distinguished career.
Doris Bowdon actually appears
to re-live Rosasharn's struggle to
bring new life into the world. She
more than justifies the belief
Zanuck had in her bility to act. 3

WAR INTERPRETIVE
BY KIRKE l.. p

AllCAAtS SAos SsoS6~A
mage losses have been inflicted on
Britain may be more significant
than he figures themselves.
Whether in preparation for in
vasion Of England or for some 9TH
er stroke, Berlin is pressing its
war-of-nerves against the British
more actively than the war of
bombs. Nazi boasts that 5000, 900
tons of shipping disable by Britain
have been sunk since the outbreak
of the war, 679, 900 tons in the last
three weeks alone, may be a part
of that "war-of-nerves."
Whatever the truth, the German
figures are so fantastically out of
step with the London admiralty's
recapitulations that Berlin itself
seeks to explain the discrepancy
by charging that the British are
concealing certain of their losses.
Good Strategy
AS an element Of the war-of-ner-
yes aspect Of the battle, the Ger
mans claims could be considered
good strategy. They could give
sea-minded Britons, utterly depend
ent on shipping for the means Of
life, something to think about it
they believed the Berlin reports
and not the a~dmiralty's figures.
Whatever the German motive,
these statements about an increas-
ingly successful counter-blockade
of England synchronize with 9th.
er moves designed to stir terror in
England. Revival Of the IS e c r e t
weapon" DOGGY by a high-ranking
German air officer can be noted.
A special showing of Nazi e
bomber technique, put on for neu.
trail pressmen, with all the siren
attachment frills going full blast to
impress them, is another item.
The Nazis' action in taking cor
respondents on sightseeing fights
along the English channel presuma-
bly, was intended to prove that Brit
ish shipping, naval and merchant,
had been driven from those narrow
seas. However, since the newsmen
duly reported that the flights were
confined to the continental side of
the channel, 30 miles or so from
the English coastline at the near
est point Of approach, the result is
not highly convincing.
There is another angle to the
German claims Of having stepped
up tremendously the rate Of cargo
ship destruction. II the figures are
anywhere near accurate and not,
as the British admiralty insists, an
absurd" exaggeration, there
would seem to be no military rea-
son for attempting invasion of Eng
land at all. Germany would be on
the way to winning the war by

Busman's Holiday for Wodehouse?

The creator of Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse, popular English humorist, is running true to form even in a German inter- ment camp. If it is possible one must visualize Wodehouse these days in sur roundings quite different from the metro pOlitan area of London or outside of town on ducal acres or even Le Touquet in France, and face the facts O. life which have landed Wodehouse in the German man offensive .est May when he was ar rested at his home at Le Touquet.
 Wodehouse is accepting the situation in his stride and making the most of his time writing new book about American crooks, sort of melancholy busman's holiday His spirits are good, so it is said, and he is becoming very fond of German potatoes. Although he has been offered special privileges such as a room to him. self he has refused, accepting private quarters only for his writing; otherwise he is just one of many prisoners of war.
 Those who have enjoyed reading the Wodehouse stories in which he pleas antly lampeons British aristocracy and glorifies the gentleman's gentleman, the butler find it hard to picture the author amidst his present surroundings. It is far cry to England and ducal acres like BlandingS and the hilarious antics of dukes and lords and duchesses and ladies, not to mention Jeeves-like buffers and a few American crooks thrown in. For the time being he must forego the prize pigs, the antique teapot, and the ducal park for background not partic- ularly colorful Wodehouse, however, judging from his recent interview given out and passed by the censorship, is do- ing pretty much what he always did writing a book.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-30
It's "War'

War with or without the quotation marks is spelled the same and actually is the same. There are no two ways about war. When nations war they do so in the only way that mankind seems to know-killing, crippling, malmlng, destroying With this in mind it is hard to conclude anything but that we are at war with certain European belligerents. This is all the more true after listening to President Franklin D. RooSevelt'S 1n- telligent and frank discussion of the situation in a fireSide radio chat last night.
 If there were people anxious to hear the words of assurance that this nation would never be precipitated into the midst of the conflict, they were probably disap- pointed. Those who expected outright statements on what we planned to do in the next few weeks to bolster Great Britain's dwindling supply of war ma terials were also probably disappointed. But that this nation stands ready to plunge into the fight with all it's strength and with all it's tremendous assets now is quite clear. We are ready TOT war and it only remains to put the machine into high gear.
 All of which leaves no doubt about our position. It is much the same as those nations which have invaded their tiny neighbors without so much as a formal declaration of war. Ours is not, however, war of invasion or war to win more lands. We want to fight against the imposition of form of gov ernment on nations and peoples that desire to choose for themselves. That is the democratic way. And since it is our way and we believe it to be the best way for all the peoples of this world, then we should cheerfuly make the sac rifices and shoulder the responsibilities that are plainly ours.
 But have no illusions about this war business from the other side of the ocean. We will be subject to the endorsements and harrassments that non-combatant ally of belligerent receives. But Ii our plans have been laid well, and we think they have, this nation is now ready for the test that is to come. The PreSl- dents message comes at time when perhaps our enthusiasm and our interest in world affairs are waning. America needs to be alert.
