HOLLYWOOD, July Until
about four years ago, one thing
l generally could count on see
ing on any sound stage or thea
ter screen-besideS pretty
heroine, fight and a love scene
was Edward Everett Horton
His restrained comedy never
tired me, but / remember being
sort of unnerved one day by
seeing him working at Metro in
Culver City in the morning, al
Warmers in Burbank in the af-
ternoon, and then going to a
movie after dinner and finding
him in both features and a
trailer for the next program.
Unlike many a player who
has ridden his popularity full-tilt
into oblivion, Horton stopped.
He left Hollywood to do
"Springtime for Henry" on d
straw-hat circuit in the east. II
went so well that he headed a
road company which has played
90 weeks from coast to coast
and Canada to Cuba. Now and
then he'd hustle back to Holly
wood for a picture engagement,
but not more than three a year.
ADDS AND ALTERS
Following six weeks of
"Springtime for Henry" in De-
troit, Horton is at 20th-Fox in a
goofy musical called Spring

sences on tour. The actor bought

THE FIRST FRONT

y
Amid all the speculation about Sec
ond front, the peoples OF the United
Nations will do we'll to look to the First
Front-their own thinking. Public oPln-
ion can help to win the war, but not by
guessing, not by jumping from extremes
of citation to the depths Of despolr not
by emotional agitation to overthrow IN
formed niIitorY judgment, not by turn
ina its hostility on friends and Allies in
stead of the enemy. Bad news-suoh
as the fall Of Tobruk, Nozi gains at
SevostopoI, and Japanese advances in
Chino and the AIeutions-olwoys tests
the First 'front.'
In such times steodiness of thought
and conservation Of purpose are doubly
needed. Men and women who under
stond the moral and spiritual issues in
the war will waste little time wondering
what Mr. Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt
mean by saying that they are planning
the "eorIiest roxinum concentration
of Allied war power upon the enemy. :"
They know that the chief architects OF
United Nations strategy ore not giving
away any niIitory secrets. They know
that so long as the First Front is active
and united, the necessary measures
will be wisely designed, properly timed
and vigorously carried through.
p Nor will men and women who want to
mointoin their own liberties and help
other peoples win freedom and justice
pIoy the enemy's game by squobbling
among themselves.
Recently q group Of psychologists
made cross-section survey Of opinion
as expressed in editorials and letters in
average newspapers. They found that
half Of the material dealing With the
war was directed against the enemy,
but the rest Of it was aimed at some oily
or some economic or political group
within America.
In other words half the hostility and
energy in this opinion was turned
toward Britain, Russia, Congress, Jews,
labor unions, rotonine officials, oorpo-
.-<otions, Republicans, Democrats, liber-
ais, conservatives, etc Often these divi-
sions were directly encouraged by Axis
propaganda. Anyone listening to the
shortwove from Berlin or Rome can
quickly see how too many Americans
ore Porroting enemy propaganda
against other Americans or their Allies.
Freedom Of speech must be retained.
And the people will inevitably form
opinions about the conduct Of the war,
either political or military. Public opin-
ion con by positive, proyerfuI attitude
greotIy improve the conduct Of the war.
But the more devoted the purpose, the
less idle speculation and irresponsible
criticism there will be. Does anyone
imagine that the embottIed men and
women Of SevostopoI ore guessing
