Wagner says that the most diff
flcult role in his Phantom of the
Opera" belongs to Claude Rains,
who plays the part originally por-
trayed by the late Lon Chaney.
It's so dramatic any other actor
would want to everyday it. Rains
will use restraint which will be
just right" Rains will not follow
CLANCY in the matter of a hunch-
back and grotesque face. Audi
ences today would find it merely
comic. One side of his face will
be SCARED.
Speaking about weird make-ups,
Orson Welles wears rubber addi-
ton to his nose for his role of
Rochester in Jane Eyre" He is
also using a dark grease paint for
his face, and when saw him lunch
ing at Fox the other day I thought
for a moment he was playing the
Moor in "Othello" Orson told me
that he hopes he gets some active
jobs when he goes into the Army.
He hopes he is not assigned to the
making OF Government shorts. He
would rather have a gun and kill
some Japs or Germans. But what
with his weak back, weak arches
and chronic asthma, Orson would
probably DO better behind a desk,
III do anything they ask me-"
concluded Orson.
The wonder boy was offered a
commission as major some months
ago. This he refused. When he
reports for service it will be as a
private. He Is now almost % years
old. I'll be sorry to see Orson leave
Hollywood. The boy has artistic
integrity, which is nice, but rare,
quality around these parts.
Howard Hughes is the most OBJ
stinate man in Hollywood. The
Hays office has intimated to him
that it will give The Outlaw" the
required seal of approval if Howard
will eliminate certain Objectionable
scenes. But after two years of
urging from all sides, the million
aire producer-plane maker has not
used his scissors. It's not as though
he'd be cutting up masterpiece.

Ladd ana 1t was apparent that he
was ideally fashioned for stardom
as quickly as script could be
written.
That is just what happened. The
only trouble is that the script of
Lucky Jordan" which opened yes
terday at the Capitol, was written
much too quickly. It's authors
have created a battling mystery
but instead of the one they in
tended it is the altogether different
one as to whether they were kidding
or being deadly in earnest. Lucky
Jordan" can be taken either as
melodrama or farce or both. ANY
way it is equally bad.
The loose-leaf character Ladd
lmperSonates in Lucky Jordan" is
designed to be tough, the one clear
thing about the picture. The camera
picks him up in his luxurious office
where he is swapping out orders to
his attorney to get him deferred in

temptuous about the war, you see,
looking upon it as a golden oppor-
tunlty to pillage the public while
the boys are away. That is des-
picably unpatriotic of him, but it
is just a beginning. 1t turns out
that he not only hates Army SER
geants, but thinks he can bribe
them; that he scorns to do K. P.
that he thinks mother love is a
joke and the other kind something
with which to fill up whatever
moments are not being used to sell
military secrets or otherwise turn

1t takes a long time to get Lucky
thus established in the audience S
mind and then, by Jove, they go
and change him on you. All of a
sudden, without any apparent mo-
tive unless it is his unrecognized
love for a. girl he kidnaps, he is
on the right side. All of his cum
ming, his toughness, and his dis
dain for the social graces are con-
centrated upon collaborating with
The FBI against the enemies OF his
government.
The things that happen to Lucky,
one supposes, could happen but the
way they occur in the picture leaves
them completely lacking in con-
viction.
There are his relations with the
girl, for instance. He is in love
with her from the beginning, but it
is one of those confused emotions

which expresses itself strangely in
locking the girl in filling station
washrooms. There is also a VEN
cradle hag in his life. They start
out being useful to each other, she
as his supposed mother to keep him
out of the Army, he as rich young
man who can keep her supplied

1t is the earnestness of the peo-
pie who play Lucky Jordan that
is its most arresting quality. Ladd
patiently is trying to do an honest
job with a young man who is never
more than comically bitter. Only
rarely does it seem to occur to him
that maybe he Is being kidded. 1t
never does occur to Mabel Paige as
the tender hearted, gin-guzzling hag,
to Helen walker as the sleek and
lovely blond whose emotions 20
twisted over the heelish hero, nor
to any of the others.
The poor things are always trying
to give you an honest laugh or an
honest stretch of suspense quite as
if they did not realize the script
made their tasks impossible.

The Cast

childhood to adulthood: the youths
representing the conflict between
the free mind and the straightjack-
eted. To the girl a stanza of the
freedom loving Goethe is a perfect
summary of the spirit of humanity
which should govern the world. To
the boy 1t is pretty sounding rub
bish. The girl natures, hating and
openly resisting the tyrannical
world around her. while the boy
works his way up as one of the soul
less charges of the Gestapo. Yet,
even in him. the spark of liberty
exists to burst into final glorious
fame.
While some of the sequences. such
as the closing courtroom" scene,
incline to tion most
are stark in their simplicity. Bitingly
projected is the Nazi outlook on
marriage and motherhood for the
State, sterilization of non -essential'
women. and the similarly brutal be-
liets with which Hitler's pawns are
indoctrinated from infancy.
"Hitler's Children" is grim movie
fare and an excellent recommended
ton for the way of life that is ours.

AS it is in Zlemer's book, "Educati ton

propaganda for consumption in a
democracy was mainly that of letting

was the major responsibility falling
to RKO- Radio in reproducing the
Ziemer document. And, with the
co-opera ton of the Hays Office, the
studio has emerged with an i'm
pressively fortnight cavalcade Of
Nazi sins against its youth.
Director Edward Dmytryck, who
remains mindful that the facts alone
are all-important in every develop
ment Of his film, obviously was aided
in his singleness of purpose by the
absence in the cast of players dis

the others are distinctly subordinate
to the warning they are sounding
on behalf of a people which often
overlooks freedoms blessings. Being
capable actors the cast performs
with a restraint that diverts atten-
ton from themselves as individuals,
and in so doing gives the story an un-
forgettable impact. And the i'm
pact latent in Nazi theology becomes
enormous when expressed in suchc
terms.
At all times "Hitlers Children, ,"
by its very nature, is morally Tepul-
sive. In every respect it angcrs, and
this is excellent tonic for minds
given to complacency. The spectacle
of an entire youth submitting to
systematic moral poisoning arouses
an almost physical revulsion in a
race whose own children may de-
velop with unstunted minds. What
this film does is to trace the tragic

MILES CITY
Meeting TO
DISCUSS DAMS

Gov. Sam C. Ford has issued a call
for an important meeting to be held
at Miles City on Wednesday, the 4th
of August, to consider matters having
to do with fuller development Of the
Missouri river and its tributaries
"This meeting is to be one of three
that will be held in South and North
Dakota and Montana, all keyed to the
same subject and growing out of the
suggestion of the Missouri River
States committee" Governor Ford said
in announcing the session. I'VE, along
with the other states bordering the
Missouri, are nightly interested in
the development of the stream, and
if we are to see the fruition of our
hopes for adequate development fof
the best interests of our people we
cannot wait until the war has been
won, when there may be great prob
lens that tend to put river develop
ment in relatively obscure position.
81 am hoping that Gov. M. @.
Sharpe of South Dakota, Gov. John
Moses of North Dakota and Gov. Les
ter c. Hunt of Wyoming win be with
me at Miles City for this important
meeting. We fortunately will have
Col Lewis E. Pick, division engineer,
U. S. Army Omaha, as one of the
principal speakers, and he will be ac-
by several members of his
Omaha staff.
1.-THE meeting at Miles City is to
be open to the public, and it is my
hope that the chambers of commerce
and other organizations in the area
will have representatives present
there, and of course all individuals
who have an interest in the develop
ment of the Missouri will be well
coined. We are looking forward to a
most interesting session and one that
should prove of immense benefit to

eminent, but the amount paid by the
government amounts to $1,276,923 for
each plane delivered during the first
IA months of operation.
The same plant is also turning out
observation planes which had been
estimated to cost $29,7S2 less such
parts as were supplied by the govern
ment. However, 1862 of these obser-
walton planes were turned out by the
company and cost the government
$46,00O,OOO which if our mathematical
ability has not failed, makes the cost
of each plane $127, O44 instead of $780,
1872 or less.
The company purchased liberal
newspaper space for advertising after
the disclosures of the Truman com
mittee report had been made, in
which the Helldiver planes which are
not disable for combat, were touted
again. In the advertisements the
stated that it had been ''un-
justly accused" by the committee, and
that it had never delivered to Uncle
Sam products known to the company
to have contained defective or sub
standard parts" One member of the
when shown the ad, won
dered who they meant by the COM
pany 1t was noted that the company
did not claim that it had not sold de-
fectiVe material to the government,
but only that it did not know it.,
An official of the company is re-
ported to have tried to 'get tough
with Senator Truman, but the senator
was just as hard, and told the official
that he was prepared if forced to do
so, to make public the total mass of
secured in the inquiry by
the committee. This appeared to
quiet the official down.
