HOLLYWOOD, June 26 - Pan
American relations are still taking
a beating from the movie-makerS
here. And it isn't that the offend
ers don't know any better, either.
At the beginning of every production
dealing with one Of the countries
south of the border, the response
bility is noted with statements
promising absolute authentl lty.
sympathetic treatment and a script
dedicated to the betterment OF
hemisphere harmony.
After the flicker is released, and
the next news of it comes in brief
accounts of how some South Amer
ican audiences has booed it off the
screen, or maybe forced it off b
tearing down the screen.
Sometimes then, as in the case

who also asks the Interior Minis

country. Meanwhile the State De-
partment is petitioned to request
other Latin nations to keep the in
sulting feature out OF their tho
aters.
GREAT FOR NAZIS
Naturally the best thing that can
happen to an offensive picture IS
its withdrawal from exhibition
The real damage is still to be done
and that comes when the South

What with the various priorities, such
as those on steel and aluminium we have
come to realize that there isn't gong to
be anv such thing as business as usual
during this war crisis. For example, the
housewife isn't going to be buying alunli-
mum pots. and dad hasn't much longer

next year. it will be the same as TINS

The draftee discovered some time back
that business as usual is III the dlscaru
for him. His life has become very unusual
even to the amount of money he draws az
the end of the month.
"p.isiness as usual Is out also 1or lhe
machinists who are on strike IN San FRAN
cisco. and have been for six weeks. When
they went on strike they stopped business
as usual for themselves, OF course. ihey
soon found out, too, that they couioh
win the strike, yet they remained stubborn
and stayed out, thus making bad ms
take. affecting both themselves and their
country
All of us should discover for ourselves
as soon as possible that in this emergen-
cv business cannot remain as usual. The
sooner this is done the quicker we shall
he ready as nation to meet the supreme

Syria 9re dying for that. ~
Is memory so short? SYria is no part.
| Tire Ere nch empire, and never was, and
over was intended to be. Syria is sup
bsed to be an independent country over
|hich France was given mandate by
10 Treaty 0s Versailles and the League of
ations. TheNtheory of mandate is that
country or a territory unaccustomea
political fre edon, or unable to defend
hv force. is given sort of big brother
Iation to be it's political adviser and
hysical defender until it is able to shift
pr itself.
That is the position of France in Syria,
nat and nothing else. France accepted
1e mandate under the terms of Article;
2 of the Treaty of Versailles, piedglng
erself to consider the 'well-belngN ano
development" of Syria "a sacred tSusl

Syria seethed with revolt practically
from the first. Loaded down with French

at military revolt were ruthlessly crushed

ARMY OPPORTUNITY

The Army of democratic United States
must be a democratic army. That doesn't
mean an undisciplined army, which is
contradiction in terms. 1t means an army
in which opportunity is open to all in pro-
portion to ability. ---
Britain is finding out that an army
officered exclusively by wearers OF Old
School Ties won't do today. The United
States Army has never faced that sort OF
a problem, at least not to anything like
the same extent. Nevertheless it is good
to see opportunity broadened still more.
Eligibility for the officer candidate
schools opening in July has been widened
to include warrant officers and enlisted
men who will have served six months on
the date of opening of the course. That
means that every man who was IN the
Army last Jan is eligible to apply; that
in turn means selectees who were induct-
ed in the latter part of last year. Under
the former rule, these were just too late
to be eligible.
The United States Army wants the
most capable officers it can get. The way
to get them is to open the way to ability
wherever it may be found f#

Icy Greenland Becomes

GREENLAND, normally a colony

protection of the United States
last April. The Danish minister
in Washington, Henrik de Kauff-

the island under u. S. control un-
til Nazi domination of his home
land Is ended.
The minister signed in behalf OF
his king, Christian x. pictured on
Greenland's 1888 stamp above.
The king is virtual Nazi prisoner
today and although the puppet
government in Copenhagen later
disavowed this agreement with

sHOLLYWOOD, Aug. l9-Al-
most every actor has an urge to
play some pet historical charact-
or, and he generally is quite GER
tain he's the only person in Hol-
lywood who can play it.
Such chances seldom occur,
however. In the fantasy Sc
quences of 1.-THE Remarkable
Andrew" for instance, there are
five famed early Americans, but
only the character of George
Washington is played by an act
or who had been hoping some
day to do 1t.
Montague Love has the role.
Ten years ago he played Thomas
jefferson in George Arliss
Alexander Hamilton" and all
during production the makeup
and cameramen had hard time
keeping Love from looking too
much like Washington. To lessen
the resemblance, they replaced
his original white wig with a
brown one and refined several
sequences.
In 1.-THE Remarkable Andrew"
Loves former Jeffersonian role
is played by Gilbert Emery. And
George Watts is Benjamin
Franklin, although that charact-
erization is one that Guy Kibbee
always wanted. Closest piece of
type casting. probably, is Bran
don Hurst as John Marshall.
Even out Of makeup, Hurst looks
almost exactly like pictures of
the great Chief Justice.
DONLEVY AS JACKSON
Brian Donlevy long has want
ed to impersonate Washington
on the screen. About year ago,
just to remind the studio of the
resemblance in case a Father-of-
His-Country picture ever came
along, Donlevy had himself made
up and photographed in sample
poses. But in the current movie,
Donlevy is the crusty Andrew
Jackson. It's a much larger role
than Loves Washington, and
Donlevy isn't disappointed.

wants to do-in spite of the pre-
vious box-office failures of all
