Maria is now earning $3.50 a week.
Next to her career and publicity,
Maria talks most enthusiastically
about love. She has invested this
emotion in the personable form of
Pierre Aumont and, if no one in
terferes, expects to marry him be-
fore he leaves for service with the
Free French in England and will
60 with there on a honeymoon and
to entertain American soldiers in
camp. If love can be measured by
the size of the engagement ring,
the Montez-A -Aumont affection is in
the colossal class.

Universal that Marlene Dietrich oc-
cupied for several months. Maria
hopes to be its tenant for the next
seven years. And she probably will,
if her publicity does not get out OF
hand.

quaint version of the American Ian

attention. I read all the columns
and fan magazines to know what
each person wanted and when I
talked with them gave them what
they wanted. And practically every
thing I said was in the papers"
But the result has boomeranged
right back into her pretty lap. Her
conversation and actions have been
touched-up and recorded to the
point where people have been
laughing at her, and not, as Maria
wants-"With me. But" as she
points out to me, IF I said to the
reporters: Look. there's nothing in
teresting about me- they would print
nothing about me. And that would
be terrible!"
But for her recent Nation wide

indefinitely handing out screwy
stories to the press. But the trip

new responsibilities as a star.

ner OF his mind and that makes
him suitably only a semi-villain in
his running fight with the little
Mayor and the Norwegians.
There are some impressively quiet
but always dramatic scenes between
the Mayor and the colonel, the one
unarmed and always unafraid. the
latter backed by an invading army
yet Away more fearful. The clash
between them is the focal one,' but
the picture has time for many 9TH
ers. Always is the concurrent one
between the townspeople whose
quiet refusal to recognize the Ger
mans, arouse hysterical anger which
turns to fear. which pits a mere
intimation of revolution against
each outbreak of Nazi violence and
wins each time.
Romance is barely perceptible as
an undertone of The Moon Is
Down" 1t is present, Freudianly,
in a brief passage between a lonely
Nazi lieutenant and the pretty
young widow of a dead Norwegian
miner. That is all and that is very
good for the picture.

The acting in THE Moon Is
Down" is bright reflection of the
intelligence with which it was writ
ten and with which it Was directed
by Irving Pichel.
Henry Travers, who plays the
meek, but spiritually mighty Mayor
Auden, does the most memorable
job of a long career in the movies.
AS portrait of a little man who
is powerful enough to pity the Nazi
invader, it is matched, however,
by Sir Cedric Hardwicke's imper-
sonation of the Nazi colonel who is
human enough to pity the invaded.
There is excellence, too, in the
characterizations of Lee j. Cobb as
the philosophic village doctor, Mar
garet Wycherly as the brave, uncom-
pretending wife df the Mayor who
sends him to his death wearing his
badge Of Office, and of Doris Bow
den as the young widow who kills

in his loneliness that he is in love

In lesser parts, numerous other
competent but relatively unknown
players contribute sharply drawn
portraits to the eloquence of THE

to is a forceful and dramatic mar
rative of the unconquerability of
free men, or how an invaded little
village in Norway turned upon its
Nazi intruders and drove them al
most insane as a prelude to driving
them out.
Nunnally johnson who adapted
the story for the cameras thus gives
1t the movement and force which
were disappointingly and elusively
lacking in the novel and the drama.
In other words, he brings to q
dynamic and important conclusion
the job that Steinbeck started. In
doing so, he incidentally put the
movie critics in the happy position
of being able highly to. recommend
THE Moon Is Down." In their
earlier turns, the book and drama
critics either condemned it vitri-
olically or dismissed it half-heart-
edly That usually is the other
way around, which leaves Miss
Thompson not entirely without
case should anyone think we were
trying to pick a quarrel with HER.
*
In saying so well what Steinbeck
tried so hard to say, the cinema's
version of THE Moon Is Down"
goes right to the heart of what free
men believe even when they are
being ruthlessly bludgeoned for
their faith. 1t is part of them.
itself, like the knowledge that two
and two are four. and the Germans
can kill them without killing it.
THE Moon Is Down" says that very
eloquently, and just as eloquently
1t moves on to say that eventually
the Germans become afraid of the
thing they cannot kill because they
know it is stronger than they are
and will crush them in the end.
These are good things for a movie
to say and this one has the good
taste, the rare good taste, to say
1t simply and without ostentation.
The hero of the story is a plain,
pudgy, elderly little man, Mayor
Auden. Opposed to him and the
wonderful little brood of Norwegians
who had the wisdom to elect him
are the Nazi invaders led by a Col.
Lanser. Between the mayor ana
the colonel there RACES a conflict
that is wonderfully far removed
from the sadism and brutality one
finds in the average Hollywood ac-
count of Nazi terror. These are
there, but largely by inference. for
the conflict is more philosophical
than physical just for once.
No brute is the Nazi commander.
He wears the German uniform with
the rare distinction of a human be-
ing. He knows things that the
higher-ups in Berlin do not know
and he distrusts the motion you can
kill the ideal of freedom without a
slaughter even greater than Hitler
envisages, If it is possible at all. He

HEAT RELIEVES EARACHE IN SIMPLE EARLY STAGE

usually occurs in conjunction with tonsIlitis, sore throat. or sinus in- lection, and aside from the discOm- fort involved. is is entirely benign and self limiting.
 HEAT RELIEVES PAIN
 An extension of infection into the middle ear, with the presence of pus causing the eardrum to bulge, brings on an altogether different sltuation-and requires professional care. In such instances. the pain is not relieved by simple means, and the body temperature Is higher, The condition can be recognized by inspection of the eardrum with q good light and finding it red and bulglng. Such Q condition neces- sitates an incislOn in the eardrum and the release of the piis. This action relieves the pain promptly and prevents infection from spread ing into the lnastoid region with all its serious sequences.
 When an earache beginss apply
 heat to the ear fhot water bottle or electric pad). Then place two or three drops of warm gIycerinf or 1 per cent phenol in glycerlne ill the ear and take an aspirin tablet
 if the pain is not improved in ar hour or two, it may mean that tlzerG

Tine outside air provides the external
 pressure. The internal pressure is
 provided through the custodian
 tube. a small passage that leads from the throat to the middle ear.
 Sudden changes in the pressure
 exerted from the outside. such as occur in going up or landing in an alrplane, must be equailzed by in- creaslng or decreasing the pressure in the middle ear. 1t Is to accomp- fish this end that chewing gum Is employed by flyers to keep the eustachian canal patent. Infections arising in the nose and throat, however. may follow tne same course. Most -e&raches oi shorter duration, that srhslde spon- tansously, represent inflammation or swelling Og the elistacnlaa canal.
