 Tn spite Of tne arrogant set oI his head and shoulders and his reckless blue eyes, she decided that he did not look at all like the swashbuckling, bully boy young German so commonly ex- plotted by current journalism. She rather liked the freshly scrubbed look Of him, and the genstitlyeness Of his cIeanly chiS- eled mouth and chin.
 After all, she told herself with haIf-adnitted flicker Of regret, she should probably have been entirely safe in going to dinner with him last night.

Angela dropped the subject - to Deborail's immense relief Some how she did not want to talk just now about teh young man she had met in the fog.
 "Well," Angie told her with ail air of satisfaction, "lt may interest you 10 know that 1, too, have not been idle. 1 ran over to the uni- verslty this morning to pick ID an outline of Doctor Brooks snake. gpearean seminar, and stunoled over 6 lad on the same erfand WHO isn't too hopeless one Sam Lind etrom, by name.

 Deborah strolled over to the desk.
 "Tll 70 you one better" she laughed, pokipg the bulky parcel with amused resignation. Its my . bet that Bridgie'g put in q pair Of nip boots and q kerosene heater for good measure"
 when Deboraii'B widowed mos tiler had died, it was Bridget Lana han, for years the Loyett house- keeper who had decreed that the old Cape cod home should be kept open and that she should remain there ag custodian during the rest Of Deborah's school days.
 Since there was no one 10 object except Deb0rah's guardian -- who welcomed the plan with obvious relief: and Deborah who hadn't q Cfinaman's chance against Brid- gie's naive assumption that she was not only as inalienably q part of Deborah'S modes estate as the front door of the house, but also the dlyineIy appointed watch -dog of her health and morals -- the house did remain open; and after eight years, BrIdgie was still in officO.
 On the first day Of the special session at the University, Deborah fingered go long over the morning radio broadcast Of European news that she barely missed being late for Doctor Brooks seminar,

 The war was having it's tn- eyitabIe repercussions Of hysteri- cal suspicion in the United States; and in spite of young Won Thal- mans almost eager friendliness, Deborah noticed covert hostility on the part Of many Of the class toward him. Sam Lindstrom, the dark young man with the silky sardonic tongue who from that first day had attached himself to Angela Silva, was the ring-leader Of this group.
 Several times when young Won Thalmann offered an opinion, n murmur Of antagonism edged with derisIon ran from chair to chair about the seminar table, The first time, he glanced about him as il unable to believe that any one could Intentionally have been SC rude.

Hollywood. .-Bushy -broWed Frank Lloyd. who has directed so many sea pictures that he must rank as admiral of the Hollywood fleet, has sailed again--this time in the three masted schooner Metha Nelson and on Q voyage charted along the Cata- lima channel.
 The picture is still untitled since no movieman would dream of using the name of Gilbert Gabrieps novel, T, James Lewis" from which the scenario vas written. It's Q sort of nautical western, period of 1910, in- yolying trip around the Horn to open up the Oregon fur trade, and the capture of the ship by Indians. Of course there's q beautiful gal aboard, ' cabaret singer who had thought she was slowing away on Q ship bound for France.
 All the realism is here that any nautical movie fan could want, The ship is completely rigged and has a working crew of real sailing men True, it's being lowed back ane forth by q tug, but that's just efil- clGUCy, lUJS WhyI WitAl tAlC euBDvu' at the other end of a thousand feet of hawser, they don't have to worry about i'll winds.
 LIKE CAPTAIN BLTGH
 Rechristcned Tonquin for the duration of this voyage, the schoon- CT has for its movie skipper that formerly loveable old reprobate Walter Brennan. But as Capr Brennan, complete with spyglass beaver hat and all his china teeth he's the sternest, meanest master who ever had a seaman fiogged. Tn the end, he blows himself, his shir and practically all of the company to smithereens. The actor is delight ed with the role.
 Franchot Tone and Carol Bruce -she being the fascinating singer shanghaied by Universal from the Broadway stage-are the romantic principals, with John Carroll giving Tone plenty of competition. Director Lloyd calls everyone by his char acter name to avoid confusion, be. cause the cast includes, besides Carol Bruce and John Carroll, Nige
