EVERY ONCE in movie

steals a march on Broadway. by
filming a successful play and do
ing a better job of II than when
il was originally presented
Such is the case of Claudia.
the Rose Franken play which
reached the screen OF the Fox
Theater yesterday. Whereas we
didn't think too much Of the stage
product when we saw II, we found
that Edmund Goulding's sympa-
thetic direction and some expert
casting have brought the tale of
this child-wife into much sharper
relief than the footlights were
able TO shed upon II.
Twentieth Centur y-FoX has
wisely kept the original Claudia,
Dorothy Mcclure. for the film
role and an excellent Job she does
of IL. She's even more appealing
on the screen.
She plays the role of the young
girl who doesn't think that mari
tai ties are half as strong as her
mothers apron strings. and II
takes tragedy to make her real

American people were repeatedly as

fighting were lasting peace" and
full employment"
Is this program now being scaled
down? The Presidents remarks would
seem to indicate so.
If the objective of the United Ma
tions is merely to prevent new war
in the next generation-or until 1865
the very means to accomplish this
end may force new war in the fol-
lowing generation.
In fact, if we seek to abolish war
for only twenty years or so, that's a
comparatively easy task All we have
to do is to treat enemy nations ex-
actly as they would have treated US if
we lost. All we have to do is to fol-
low the pattern of the Versailles Con-
ference after the last war. Then we
will have certain peace for twenty
years and certain war again after
that.
The President found Stain "real-
ist." The French were regarded as
"realists" after the last war and we
were somewhat contemptuously re-
ferred to as "idealists" because we
sought to Danish war for all time. The
French won out and we came to rea-
lie that "realist" is one who can't
see beyond the end of his own nose.
