take back to Washington from

been no secret that individuals are

To date Mr.. Willkie has talked to
the highest officials of the govern.

They all expressed appreciation
for aid from the United States and

apparent that what they really want
Is q second front.
Unless one is created, they are
going to feel terribly let down, he
asserted.
1t was assumed here that Mr.
Willkie will report to President
Roosevelt this growing GOODNESS.
After seeing Stain he said nothing
that would indicate he did not dis
cover a feeling of disappointment

Paris was favorably i'm
pressed with Mr.. Whitehead.
The young lawyer was intelli-
gent-looking, quick and sympa-

Benny's case almost as we'll as
Paris, although Paris review
ed for him the boys early per-
secutions by Fulmer Green's
gang and others; Madame Won
Ems employment of Benny; the
Colonel's interest in him. Ben
ny had worked on for Mrs.
Skeffington after the Colonel
died.
The commission appointed to
examine Benny Singer and pass
on his responsibility for his
acts consisted, to Paris ex-
IRENE dismay, Of an antagonis-
tic doctor, q pompous one, q
substitute professor of psychol-
ogy, a law partner Of Fulmer
Green, the new prosecuting at
torney, and the Reverend Mr.
Cole, with whom Paris had
had words when he first re-
turned to Kings Row.
Paris, acting chairman, con-
trolled himself with the greatest
difficulty through the courtroom
proceedings. The discussion was
personal. vindictive, unintelli-
gent and stubborn. Paris had no
hope Of conciliating these mex
plicably prejudiced men. Yet he
elaborated his thesis Of temp
orary insanity, basing his argu-
ments on Benny's life as he had
known 1t from the days In prim-
airy school. He argued hospital
and rehabilitation against prison
or gallows. He reminded them Of

Sailor was taken unawares but
his reputation as Casanova grows

the Countess, singing star of a

up marrying the girl and his pals

The Countess is played by Miss
Lamour who clicks big. Her vo-
calls, especially, "When You Hear

style. William Holden is good as
the sailor who becomes the Casa

The two men talked, each
somewhat surprised after years

find in Paris a strain Of some
thing that seemed at times not
quite bitter, but perhaps verg-

disillusioned and doubtful.
These darker tones in Paris
were deepened when Herr Ber-
dorff returned to Germany. His
little congregation did not want
him any longer. They wanted
someone who was less devoted
to music - someone more Of a
pastor.
Paris had begged him to
stay, to take the chair Of Ger
