one movie actress who has exercised
a large influence on the history of
today through her beauty. You can
find out her name yourself, but not
from me. I don't want to be run out
of town on a rail"
Well. we beloved, if that blasted
hammering would stop we could
tell you that it's true to this extent:
Take a girl like Loretta Young. If
she had been born 100 years ago or
500 or 1000 years ago, she would not
have been what she was today, a
wealthy and independent young
woman married for love to an ad-
vertising executive. but instead
would have had her life loused up
by king and would herself, in a
kind of revenge, have loused up the
kings country as Helen Of Troy did
or Nine. Du Barry, etc. Or" we
hollered, has your life been loused
up at some time by a king?"
NO" shouted Miss Young. mot
yet! The only king I've ever met
was the King of Greece and he spent
most of his time with me picking
his teeth. 1t was at luncheon given
by the Duke and Duchess of Suther-
land and they spent their time pick
ing their teeth, too"
That, We suggested in a roar. was
the only thing the Europeans seemed
to do for their teeth-paste being
regarded as an American extra
vagancc.
Yes, isn't that true? Poor people,
But, you know, I've been thinking.
When people see the actresses they
like on the screen, they don't really
see them, but see instead their own
ideas of them. For example, it's

In It's vague way, This Woman
Is Mine" has to do with the Astors
when they were fur traders who
also carried little stock of gun
powder as an attractive, salable side
line. II you are wondering what
Miss Bruce could conceivably find
to do in the early Astor setup, the
answer is that she was a stow-away
on one of their ships. She is not a
pSychopathic stow-awav who never
could resist a boat. On the con-
trary, she is an innocent waif of a
singer who is lured aboard under
false pretenSeS by a handsome, un-
scrupulous Astor hired hand who
pretends to be a tycoon.
The Tonquin, you can bet, is no
luxury liner. Its captain (Walter
Brennan) is a fanatical disciplin-
ar1an who makes life as miserable
for the girl as does his fanatically
undisciplined crew. Their methods
are different, to be sure.
The stuff of excitement might
seem to lie in a situation like that
but 1t turns out to be dismal in
stead. The voyage around the Horn
is an unrelieved series of sequences
in which every one, save Franchot
Tone and couple of dull old chess
players, is trying to make life miser-
able for Miss Bruce. Tone is a
stuffy sort of young man who be-
haves with impersonal gallantry to-
ward Miss Bruce until one day dur
ing a hand-clasp (of all moments)
he realizes he loves her. You'll be
smarter and know it all the time,
but 1t will do something to the sus-
pense of the picture.
The spectacular climax of This
Woman Is Mine" is not storm or
q mutiny, as in most sea pictures.
1t is an explosion, q neatly managed
affair, which involves the gun
powder and Brennan's sense that
the Astors were unrighteous people
in dealing in such cargo.
Miss Bruce, whose way with a
song made her the toast of Broad
way last season, is employed only
briefly in her specially in her
cinema debut performance. She
veers quickly through an undistin-
guished solo called Too Young to
Marry and then she is off to the
sea, where there's never a chanty |
even for her to sing.
There is little weight to the part |
she must act, as there is to the
other roles in This Woman Is |
Mine" oldest Of the lot is that of
Brennan, usually an amiable old
scoundrel, as the fanatical captain.
Tone acts the part of his colorless
young man with a suitable lack of

color, as if he couldn't believe a
word of it.
1t seems a sound judgment.

Texas" is the March of Times
subject this month and very dra-
matte State it turns out to be, what
with all its defense activities and
its well-advertised municipal rival
rieS. Two of its incidentally inter-
esting features are an opening Sc
quence which indicates that only
Texans are coming to Washington
these days and the appearance on
the sound track of Texas accent.
Much of the narration is handled
by the Texan, variation that will
startle many accustomed to the
Gabriel-like tones which constitute
the usual vocal obbligato.

Circus Tent Collapse!
On Spectators as
Storm Rips Moorings
100 Escape Unhurt
In Richmond as Wind
Topples Big Top

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 13.-The
unbilled smash finale to the matinee
performance of Russell Bros. Circus
during the wind and the rain here
Yesterday was when the big top did
the big flop.
One mighty blast of the storm
that lashed this area and played
havoc with trees and plate glass
tore the main tent from its anchor
lines and spilled the tons of wet
canvas down upon the frenzied
spectators.
The aerialistS had just swung
down from their lofty positions high
in the big top and jugglers and a
trained seal were winding up their
stunts in the three rings when guy
ropes on one side snapped.
The sudden drop in temperature
that came with the wind and rain
made the big top a giant hot-air
balloon. When the lines snapped,
the canvass billowed upward. Quar-
ter-poles lifted and swung free.
The fretful crowd approached panic
and the main tent began to topple.
There was a mad rush for the
exit, but a great part of the crowd
of l,2O0 or more slid down through
the bleacher seats and craWled out
under the sidewalks. In all the con-
fusion only a few injuries were re-
ported and they were of minor ma
ture.
The tent fell, covering many with
the water soaked canvas, which was
ripped and torn as the spectators
fought their way free.
The menagerie tent vas partly
wrecked and the side show tent was
ripped.
The circus nevertheless put on
the night show here with make
shift Sidewalk arrangements and
planned to operate that way today
at Farmville.

Smith Charges Campaign
To Discredit Farm Bloc

Chairman Smith of the Senate
Agriculture Committee declared yes
terday that Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard and other administration
officials were making an organized
effort to discredit the farm bloc in
Congress"
At a conference of a dozen Sen
ators from farm States. Senator
Smith objected to speech al
Athens, Ga. in which Mr.. Wickaro
warned against letting prices get out
of line. saying that it busted the
markets today"
The group authorized Mr.. Smith
as chairman of the Agriculture Com
mittee to appoint subcommittee tt
draft amendments to any price-flx-
ing legislation. The chairman saiC
these amendments would require the
Government to place floor under
farm prices if it obtains power tc
put a ceiling on them.
Senator McNary, Republican, o.
Oregon, Republican leader anc
former chairman of the Agriculture
Committee, said he was not con-
cerned about temporary market
fluctuations but urged the group tc
use great care in acting on any
price-fiXing bill.
Mr.. Wickard in his Georgia speech
said that the Government should
have a free hand in dealing with
some 100000 bales of cotton and
200, 100000 bushels of wheat acquired
under price-supporting loans to
farmers.
Mr.. Smith interpreted this as in
dicating a presidential veto of bill
recently approved by the Senate
ordering these loan stocks withheld
from market during the war in an
effort to improve prices.
