With alien foe striking at our gates, all family
uarels and debates will be suspended for the duration
Americas long term destiny is at stake, and in the
circumstances nothing less than full release of Amer
cas- productive genius is indicated
In the present emergency, New Dealers and Old
cealers must stand shoulder to shoulder.
INDUSTRIAL managers, who have been smarting
under unjustifed attack must forget their personal
grievances and in the genuine spirit of patriotism give
heir commander in chief full and enthusiastic support.
BY the same token, the temporarily in charge
Of the government should in word and in deed proceed
magnanimously the leaders of united nation.
Such team work will set free the great creative
talents and energies of free people.
BY such al attitude, Americans will not be handi-
capped by internal friction.
IRON the opposite party, Mr. Roosevelt is entitled
TO cooperation and help, including the valuable
assistance of constructive criticism.
And American productivity rises in the coming
months and heghtens national invincbity perhaps the
people will learn valuable permanent lesson

Hero SymboIizes America
81 EROISM is the brilliant triumph of the soul
over fear . 1t is the dazzling and glorious
concentration of courage"-Henry Frederic Amel
~ Capt Colin P. Kelly Jr., 26 years old who
killed after he dropped three bombs the Japanese
batteshp Haruna. which sank her, was not only the
first American hero Of this war, but in his glorious
feat he symbozed AMERICA
Captain Kelly was FEARLESSNESS
He was PATRIOTIC DUTY.
His deed and death in the great tradition of
Lexington and Valley Forge
LIS deed and death are a light and inspiration
1 TO all our fighters Of today and tomorrow to all
our youth-in the air. the land and on the
AS cadet at West Point Kelly was booster
for the heroic and FOR heroes.
His ideal heroic patriotism.
And heroic patriotism to him meant SERVICE TO
HIS COUNTRY
When he set out to bomb the Haruna he must
have known that he had a rendezvous with death.
But he was of the heroic American mould, and his
spirit scared over the fear of death just his plane
scared the Haruna she burst into flames at
his third hit
Capt Colin P Kelly is AMERICA OF TODAY
Capt Colin p Kelly Uncle Samson aroused.
Capt Colin p. Kelly is V.
\ ND the widow of Captain Kelly is of the breed of
the American wives of the revolutionary heroes
Dry-eyed, she held up "Corkey" their infant, to
reporters she said;
"Corkey will he proud of HIM."
That's the VICTORY attitude.
That is indeed, VICTORY itself -
That is what makes America great invincible and
fearless.
Every American is proud of Capt Colin P Kelly.
His daring feat will stifen the weapons in our hands
and the spines in backs.
And to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln let here
highly resolve that Capt. Colin P Kelly shall not have
died in vain.
In him America adds another hero to her pantheon
Of immortals.

Be topical note: A sudden change
Evening star., 1941-10-08

"Blithe Spirit" was very conSld-
cradle success in London aided
thereto by critics who previously
dwelt for many a paragraph on
his gay superfciality. 1t was. they
said, very clever and Intelligent
thing to have written when the
PLAYWRIGHT might have tried TO
write something closer to today's
situation.
That is what the significant play
wrights are trying to do. In trying
to do it, they are rather widely
admired for their gallantry, but
criticised for their inability to put
their feelings into words. In that
respect at least, and at rather long
last, Mr.. Coward seems to have
outhought them.
These ruminations on the ver-
satile once Coward called 'the
white hope of the English-speaking
theater" are super-induced by
memo on the desk which declares,
ght-forwardly, that "Bhthe
Spirit" will play Washington the
week of October 27. That will be
the week prior to its New York en-
gagement.
IN the cast are Peggy Wood, Cliff
ton Webb, Leonora Corbett and
Mildred Natwick. In the cast is
not Gertrude Lawrence who con-
fessed to this department during
the summer that she would have
"adored" the part of the spirit
wife in "Blithe Spirit" She regarded
1t as the perfect extension of Aman-
da in Private Lives" which would
make 1t a part any actress would
like to play.
The safest bet you probably never
made was that Lana Turner and
Clark Gable some day would be
co-starred in a picture. The reason
for never having made it undoubt-
edly is that it was too obvious that
Miss Turner was to her half of the
species what Mr.. G. is to his-a
smoldering sort of fire which look:
we'll in even a standard movie script

university will give a credit rating
for an A. B. degree to a course in

With Prof. Robert Gessner pre-
siding, the class will study scripts
and will see pictures which will be
analyzed sequence by sequence.
First two pictures to be studied
are Samuel Goldwyn's productions,
"Wuthering Heights" and The
Westerner." Goldwyn is also con-
tributing a print of his most re-
cent production, THE Little Foxes"
to the course.
Gessner also announced that

Martin Eden" is an exacting role,

actor who portrays it, and it is a
