The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1944-11-30

this subject during the recent
election, report that it was not
nearly as much of an issue in 1914
as it was in 1910.
Production of many types of
civilian goods, which had been
scheduled to start now, may be
called off because of the alarming
manpower shortages in essential
war industries. Thousands of men,
it has been reported, are leaving
these industries in order to get
into postwar work. If they con-
tinue to leave at the present rate,
James F. Byrnes, director of war
mobilization and reconversion,
says he will take drastic steps"
to stop this trend. Meanwhile he
is asking the War Production
board not to authorize any in
dustrial reconversion which would
attract labor needed by war
plants. In critical areas, this could
include most all of the types of
products which have been out of
production since the war began.
Much of the manpower troub-
le," said Mr.. Byrnes, " is due to
the mistaken belief on the part
of some people that the war is
about over. While a shortage of
material and weapons exists in
relatively few programs, it is suf-
ficient, if not speedily overcome,
to prolong the war. Two hundred
thousand additional able-bodied
men, willing to do hard work.

THIS Week In Washington - -
AZ WASHINGTON, D. c. There
is strong sentiment, both here and
in Washington, calling for a re-
vision of the constitution to end
the "lame duck" session of con-
gress as well as to revise the cleo
toral college set-up.
Even in normal times there has
always been considerable criticism
of having short post-election ses-
sion of the old congress after a
new congress has been elected by
the people. But in these times Of
war, when every minute counts
in crystalizing our plans for peace,
it seems almost criminal to have
action by congress postponed for
two months by holding this So
called "lame duck" session. And
it is even more Objectionable when
we consider the fact that. in an
election year, not much action can
be expected from congress in the
three months preceding election.
1t is improbable that the lame
duck session itself will take any
action to make this change, but it
seems quite likely that the new
congress, which meets on January
p3, will make this change so that
such delays in needed legislation
can be avoided during future
emergencies.
While this change is under con-
sideration, it is also expected that
our whole election set-up will be
reviewed and efforts made to
modernize it. Although the smaller
states will oppose major revisions
in the electoral set-up, which gives
them an advantage they would
lose if a president was elected
entirely by the popular vote, even
the smaller states would probably
not oppose an amendment calling
for the requirement that electors
must vote for the man whom the
majority in their state favor. At
present there is nothing but ira
dition to prevent electors from
voting for any candidate they pre-
fer.
Although there is still some
sentiment in favor of a pro-
vision that no president may
hold office for more than two
terms, most congressman ques-
toned on this subject do not
seem to favor taking any action
along this line at present.
The new congress probably will
consider it, but it is the opinion
of many that, now that the ira
dition has been broken, it is up
to the people from now on to
determine whether they want to
keep a man in office for a third
term. Some congressman, who
questioned their constituents on

STRAND

Return of the Ape Man." Mon- ogram horror film which opened its run at the Strand Theater today, bases thrilling story on a pseudo scientific theory receiving its first screen attention.
 The particularly well-chosen cast is headed by Bella Lugosi, as the fanatic scientist, and his assistant is wildly characterized by John Carradine. Credits also go to George zucco, Frank Moran, Judith Gibson and Michael Ames, who ca- pably head the excellent support ing cast.
 The story concerns a paleontolog- ist, portrayed by Lugosi, who dis covers a way to restore life to froz- en bodies. Finding in the Arctic regions a prehistoric ape-man who has been frozen in the ice for thirty thousand years. he transports 1t back to the United States and brings it to life over the protests of his assistant. The fantastic experi- ment is of course, based on the many recent discoveries of methods of suspending aimation through freezing.
 Tie companion feature is Block Busters" starring the rascally East Side Kids.

BIG TECHNICoLOR EPIC

Moving to assemble for Duel in the Sun" an all-star cast rivalling that of his Since You Went Away" David O. Selznick has signed Lionel Barrymore to co-star with Jenpifer Jones and Gregory Peck in the big technicolor western.
 Barrymore will portray Senator McCanles, the father of Gregory Peck and one of the most impor- tant characters in the best-seIling novel by Niven Busch, upon which the screenplay by Oliver H. P. Gar rett is based. It is a powerful role, with Barrymore leading the Texas ranchers in their bitter fight to prevent the coming of the rail- road that brings civilization and dooms the open range.
 With King Vidor signed to direct, Selznick's plans call for several other stars of the calibre of Miss Jones, Peck and Barrymore, Duel in

MINIATURE OF SHIRLEY

Workers in the fan mail depart- ment at Selznick studio who al- ways are swamped with requests for large photographs of movie stars, face new problem. Where can they get a picture "the size of a penny" of Shirley Templee
 The request came from four American soldiers in occupied Ger many, who recently bought a locket in a German store to send home as a souvenir. On inspection of the thinket they found it contained four miniatures of Shirley taken when she was the top child star of Hollywood. They immediately sent a letter to the studio asking for a picture, "the size of a penny" as she now appears in "I1l Be See ing You" to bring the locket up to date.

 mantle team.
 Toumanova portrays a Moscow ballet dancer who is separated from her troupe while entertaining the soldiers at the front and is forced to take refuge with guerrilla band inside the Nazi lines. Peck is seen as the resolute military commander of the band, directing their peril ous activities. The love affair that develops between them and cul- inmates during the groups last he- roic stand against an enemy tank division gives rise to many note- worthy moments of the story.

BY ERsKINE JOHNSON NEA Staff Correspondent

Closeups and long shots of the best show of the week, '"The Battle of the Balcony" or '-The State vs. Tommy Dorsey, Pat Dane and Allan Smiley:
 Although boosting an allstar cast and crammed with mystery, sex ap- peal, suspense and confusion, ''The Battle of the Balcony" as played in q Los Angeles courtroom, would make any Hollywood scenario writer blush with shame. You can drive a General Sherman tank through the holes in the plot. The casting is bad. The dialogue is repetitious. Jon Hall, for instance was clocked as saying That is correct" 378 times. He also intoned ito the best of my recol- lection" PIP times, according to the demon Statistician on our staff. Things like this would never hap pen in the movies.
 There are moments when the dialogue is Scintillating, as when Hall, with all due modesty, said, There wouldn't have been a fight if had hit him -irst."
 NAUGHTY WORDS
 Censorship, even without Will Hays, slowed down a couple of scenes. Asked to repeat the language Tommy Dorsey used, Hall blushed in his best movie manner and re- fused because ladies were present. You could see the influence of the Hays training reflected in the per- spiration on Halls forehec '. It took five minutes for the judge to final ly discover what Dorsey had said to his departing guests.
 The defense objected to the words "cut" or "slashed" when Jon Halls coat was introduced as evidence. It was in rags Finally the district ate torney compromised, saying to the jury: "You will note the parting of the weave in nine places on this coat in one place the weave parted so much that it also parted the lining" Clever dialogue.
 Outside the courtroom bobby sock er3 swooncd. Not at Jon Hall but at his nose.
 A photograph of Jon Hall taken two days after the fight, was intro- duced as exhibit A. During recess, it turned Up missing. The clerk acc cused newspapermen and photo graphers of swiping 1t. They finally found the evidence in Defense Att torney Jerry Giesler's brief case. Everyone admittet', it was in the brief case, though, because Jerry had picked 1t up by mistake.
 MORE DIALOGUE
 GIESLER: Your hair was very long at the time, MT. Hall, with very long sideburns?
 HALL (brightens up-chance to plug pictureS): Yes, MT. Giesler. It was a picture I was working on Queen of the Nile"
 GIESLER' Not Gypsy Wildcat"
 HALL: No sir.
 GIESLER: Now we have the credits well established.
 If Academy Oscars are available for the production, here are the best bets. Best character performance: Allan Smiley for lis expression when Mrs. Dorsey was claimed to have said of him, That bum, don't want to even mention his name" Dorsey will have no contenders in the race for the title of Sentiment al Gentleman of Swing" although Joc Hall made Garrison finish which found him losing by nose. Best acting performance: Attorney Jerry Giesler, as usual.

The problem of how a girl can tell whether 8 man is marrying her for love or for money is the theme of RKO Radios new comedy TO- canoe, Bride By Mistake" CO., starring Alan Marshal and La- raine Day, which openst oday at the Loew Poli theater.

 When they meet at a party, the wealthy girl is attracted to the flyer, but he is nisled by her Sec- retary's impersonation.
 How he finds the right girl, and how the secretary and her hus- band come out of this series of complexities form the climax to a gay and wacky comedy. Marsha Hunt, Allyn JoSlyn and Edgar Buchanan have the principal supporting roles, and comedian Slim Summerville makes welcome re- appearance.
