NJ EW YORK.-Having enjoyed a

shipshape at Annapolis-come what
may When the then Commander
Wilson deployed the destroyer fleet
around Greenland and Labrador,
shepherding home the army world
fiers. in 1924, we were stalking
Capt. Donald Macmillan, the explor-
er, in the sub-Arctic, and found gra-
cious hospitality on the command
er's destroyer, Lawrence, at Indian
harbor, Labrador.
He's an alert disciplinarian, with
out being in the least stiff-necked
about it. When we began issuing the
Labrador Gumdrop," the spright-
hest piece in it was written by the
commander. He is tall, grave, slen-
der, distinguished in appearance,
deliberate in speech, but quick and
precise in action.
The latter became clear when
black squall socked the Law
renee one day, with almost the
suddenness of an explosion. With
rock bottom under Indian har-
hnr tho chtr, -
her hook into. She started slith-
ering and spinning like a Japa-
nese dancing mouse. The shore
was rocky and the chances for
crack-up looked fairly good.
The commanders job was
something like chauffeuring
skidding automobile. We aren't
sufficiently nautical to tell what
happened, but. he brought the
ship through top-side up. A
young lieutenant told me later
that it was a brilliant piece of
seamanship.
Under generous naval lease-lend
plan, we borrowed the commander S
fishing tackle and shotguns, to shoot
pufnnS. We won the war and re-
turned the armament. He, as one
would have known, moved smoothly
on up through grades to the post OF
rear admiral.
He was born In Sardinia, NY,
in 1883, put In two years at the
Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nOlOgy and transferred TO An
napolis. In the World war, he
commanded the sixth battle
squadron Of the grand feet. He
holds the Navy cross, the Vic
tory medal and the Vera Cruz
medal. Unfortunately, there Ia

last issue was heartfelt tribute
to Commander Wilson.

I'd Success Of 'GWTW
Lesson TO Movie Makers
BY DAMON RUNYON

something like "GWTW." We
have already seen it three times.
which is quite Job of seeing if
you recall the length Of the pic
ture. That is not a record with
us. however.
We think we have seen Birth
of Nation counting revivals
and all, at least half a dozen
times and we gave the Disney
short. Three Little Pigs" our
business on no less than 10 diff
ferent occasions.
1t might be argued that
"GWTW' is a sort Of freak in
the picture business. the like of
which will never be seen again
and that il cannot be used as a
yardstick on pictures generally.
We do not think this is true.
We think that any picture with
the same entertainment value
would do the same business.
We think this picture is def
mite proof that the movie
makers have just scratched the
box office possibilities of their
game When they stick 10 en-
tertainment and entertainment
only they are sure 10 be re-
warded. The old gag still holds
true-"There is nothing wrong
with the pictures that few
good pictures will not cure.
DUT there remains among the
- picture makers and espe-
cially. we think. the directors.
that same curious misapprehen-
sion as TO what constitutes en-
tertainment value that has
prevailed since the inception of
the industry We find il in the
gloomy message cyclec that pro-
duce the screen poisoning among
the cash customers and in the
arty efforts which win the enco-
miums of the critics but which
are not entertainment within the
purview of the cash customers.
"GWTW" should be run al least
once a week in Hollywood for
years TO come and all directors
required to present at every
showing. with some representa-
tive of us cash customers an

IN A middling sized city the
4 other day at two movie thea
tiers showing Gone With the
Wind at popular prices, they
had ropes up keeping the
crowds in line. We are told that
the same situation exists where
ever they are putting on the pic

we think. should be fine object
lesson to the movie makers who
occasionally become pessimis-
tic over the future of the
cinema.
If they give us cash Gus
toners genuine entertainment.
we will do the rest. now and
through the years to come. That
is all Gone With the Wind is
entertainment. 1t is Just an
enthralling story told in the
best manner of the screen.
1t has already hung up a new
record for money crossed and
this in time when the world
market is not what il used TO
be and before il is finally laid
away on the shelf il will prob
ably play to more cash customers
and consequently more money
than any half dozen pictures in
the history of the industry COM
bined.
Gone With the Wind. is now
an oldie as the age of pictures
go. 1t has played all the big

prices. and to damned houses.
You would have thought it
must have absorbed all the trade
possible to one picture, because
even the cash customers who

stretched a financial point to
see it.. But here it's doing a
land office business all over
again. and we suspect that some
of this business is repeat stuff.
THAT is. many cash customers
i who saw "GWTW" before
are seeing it again. which is
further tribute TO its entertain
ment value. especially when II is
PLAYING against numerous new
pictures. We personally welcome
the return of the picture because
we know it will prove an anti
dote TO a severe attack of
screen poisoning that we sus-
tanned recently.
One of those sad message pic
lures that come out of Holly
wood in cycles leaped out on us
in a theater not long ago and
bit us. The result was spell
of deep depression and complete
lsSsitude toward all suggestions
of theater going.
A victim of screen poisoning
which is a malady peculiar only
10 cash customers. can scarcely
abide the thought of seeing an
other picture for awhile. 1t pro-
duces dark thoughts of ven-
geance against the makers of
the picture.
Sometimes n victim has been
known TO sit brooding for hours

he might find the producer and

from Roy Tinney, a newspaper
