WESLEYAN A IDE ED BY TWO DONATIONS
Industrial Scientific Re- search Program Made
 Possible by Gifts

Middletown, Conn, Sept. 17-An- nouncement was made by Wesleyan University today of the establish ment of an industrial scientific re- search program at the college, made possible by gifts from two friends. A committee of three trustees, Messrs. c. W. Davison, O. s. He'd den and A. w. Johnston will be in general charge. They have selected as director for i94i-42, Professor Charles R. Hoover of the depart ent of chemistry he will be aided --by other members of the science faculty.
 The program will involve research ir various scientific fields. Under graduates with special ability in science will assist in the program; graduate students will devote a large part of their tie to 1t during the two years when they are work ing for their M. A. Although provi. sion has so far been ade only for this college year, 1t Is hoped that financial support may be secured for the future.
 An addlCional appoultment oI IT. Charles L. Christ (pronounced Crist) as instructor in chemistry has been made. pr. Christ received his B A. and Ph. D. from the Johns Hopkins University. His education, has given him an unusually broad training in science, including work in biology, physics. and physical chemistry. He taught in the general chemistry course for urdergradu- ates at Johns Hopkins. For the past year he has been in the research department of the General Electric company at Pittsfield, Mass. He will teach one course at Wesleyan.
 Dr. R. c. Clarke of the chemistry department will have decreased teaching schedule in order that he ay also help in this research pro- gram as assistant director.
 While the research program will not be confined to chemistry, the work will at the start be done ir Hall Laboratory.

 The Germans, however, find 1t hard to rationalize this Irish spy setup.
 Through the tradition established by Hollywood motion pictures and American fiction writers they, the Germans are the spy masters of this modern Europe. Yet they get away with nothing and so constantly complain to President Ramon De- Valera about the "unsympathetic non cooperation" of the present Irish government. De Valera, of course, always blandly apologizes and promises greater cooperation but the spying goes on.

 But in fairness to the Wilhelm strasse, 1t should be admitted that those Germans who are listed as ofticial members of the German le- gation in Dublin are not too bright. That's why Germany tried to get diplomatic immunity from England after the outbreak of war-so they could bring them all back to Berlin
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-09-17

and send, in their place, very bright NazIs who would make real trouble for the British.
 Whitehall officials, naturally would not agree to the immunity, and ever since Germany has been stuck with It's pre-war crop of lega- ton officials in Dublin, who have a penchant for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
 The German press attache, for example, instead of creating the good feeling he is supposed to; causes nothing but bad feeling for the Nazi cause in Ireland because he insists on appearing in public with another mans wife crime number one in an Ireland that is deeply religious and practices the

penseful piece of writing, And, in
selecting a cast with Humphrey
Bogart, Mary Astor, Gladys George,
Sidney GreenStreet, Peter LORE, etc,
he was blessed with a group whose
enthusiasm for the tale was as great
as his own. The complete and
highly polished thriller derives its
most conspicuous merit from its
direction, direction which is a
fine, bright challenge to the su-
periority which the English hereto
fore have enjoyed in the domain of
mystery drama.
Sam Spade, who was Hammett's
favorite detective in the pre-Thin
Man days. was none of your suave,
larkish Nick Charles types. He was
a fellow with an eye to the main
chance without reference to which
side of law and order it might be
found In The Maltese Falcon"
1t is not apparent which it is to be
until the last few feet of the film,
and before it becomes apparent the
emotions get thoroughly healthy
stretching.
The story, in case any one has
forgotten, is that of group of
deadly serious individuals in search
of a gem encrusted ornament of
fabulous worth which was lost in

the mails between the island Of
Malta and the King of Spain in
1879 The situations in which they
are involved are highly exciting, a
quality developed to the ultimate
by Huston's direction but never at
the expense of character develop
ment. The net effect is that rarest
of screendramas, the one which you
regret to see come to an end.
Most fascinating of the lot of those
mixed up in this murderous enter
prise is Detective Spade Of him.
in his best playing in years, Bogart
makes hard-bitten, fearless, ruth
less crime chaser who can disarm his
most bloodthirsty opponent with a
mental deXterity as expert as the
jul jitsu of a lesser genius in the same
field. What difference does it make
to him that he is spotting the other
fellow a whole arsenal so long as
he can point out the wanton fu-
tility of killing him before the falcon
is recovered? The answer is abSo-
lutely none. He is equally clever at
frustrating police officers or district
attorneys who are confused by just
where he stands with reference to
the miscellaneous murders that hap
pen in the narrative.
Equally compelling is Miss Astor
in the part of Brigid OShaughnessy,
an amOral. blood-stained beauty who
makes Wanton use of her charms
until she meets failure in Spade.
In him she finds the one man whose
love for her is great, but not quite
so great as his conviction that any
such mistress of the classic double
cross belongs in the solitary confine.-
ment of the nearest prison.
The others have given equally of
their best to make The Maltese
Falcon" an outstanding picture Most
notably is this the case in Sidney
Greenstreets portrayal of Kasper
Gutman, the philosophic fat man
whose cunning is almost a match
for Spades. GreenStreet, after 40
years on the stage. is making his
screen debut in fashion that makes
dubious the prospect that Hollywood
ever would let him escape without a
battle.
1t is fine piece of make believe
through which to escape for little
while from the unbelievable world.
The Earle's stage show is centered
around the happy circumstance that
the week marks the third birthday
of the houses Roxyettes and opens
with handsomely produced number
of which birthday cake is the CEN
terpiece. From there the program
moves over to Gil Mason, whose dog
act is frightened up this time by an
irritable monkey. followed by the
Mimic Men. six fellows who can imi-
tate any jukebox favorite that could
be mentioned The Merrymacs.
