smoothness-it just strikes people
as funny to see Flynn doing such a
thing. They laugh when it clearly
is not the intent of the producers
of Uncertain Glory" to arouse any
such reaction on their part.
This ight-heartedness on the
part of the audience is certainly not
inherent in the plot of Uncertain
Glory" which deals with the French
underground, a theme that is essen
TALLY solemn. 1t is implicit neither

formers as Paul Lukas, Lucille Wat

others.

Max Brand dately a war corre-

bility, an irritating arrogance, and
a kind of whimsical humor. That
blend of virtues and defects might
test an actor of more deftness than
Flynn whose glamour seems to have
freed him from the necessity for
mastering the subtleties of acting.
What interest Uncertain Glory"
manages to create is generated pri-
marily by Lukas who rises rather

preme sacrifice. 1t is sorry piece
of Imagination that merely indicates
Irritation technique when there
seem to have been many more i'm
portant things to be doing.
AS the Surete inspector, Academy
Award Winner Lukas gives per-
formance that represents an effec-
tive blending of wisdom, gentleness,
courage and a humor in a role that
is hardly up to the actors standard.
Flynn, as we seem to have said, Is
definitely not up to his old swash-
buckling standard, the one he rode
to such recognition back in the days
when he wore the doublet and hose
of the Elizabethans.
Warmers introduce a newcomer,
Jean Sullivan, in the romantic role
opposite Flynn. Miss Sullivan, a
pretty enough girl, has not mastered
the artfulness and tricks that come
with experience, but she is another
who can find consolation in the fact
that Uncertain Glory" got out
of hand.
That farcical flavor, obviously un-
whiting, was not her fault.

A Limited Naval Victory

We are happy to see that the
fight which The Pittsburgh
Courier started over five years
ago for greater indignation of the
1 Negro into the United States
Naval establishment has ended in
limited victory.
Twenty-Five Negroes are to be
commissioned Officers and de-
stroyer escort and a patrol vessel
are to be manned by Negro
crews.
This is a considerable advance
in the direction of democracy
when we reflect that less than
two years ago Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox was telling us that
there would be no Negro officers
That the Navy has yielded this
much is due to the tremendous
pressure put on it by the Negro
press, the N. A. A. C. p. and
similar organizations.
The victory is only a limited
one, however, because in accord
ance with what seems to be a set
government policy in demo
cratic" America, the Negro Of
ficars and men will be permitted
to serve only on separte jim
GROVE vessels as if they were
afflicted with leprosy.
It is the same old story of
1.-THE time amt ripe" with Naval
officials placing the blame for
the necessity of maintaining Jim
crow on the white rank-and-file
who will mot stand" being mixed
with Negroes on board ship and
taking orders from colored SUI
periors.
The truth of the matter is that
high naval officials are them
selves responsible for color dis
elimination and segregation in
their branch of the service which
they deliberately made more
widespread as late as 1922,
when Negroes were restricted to
service in mess departments.
With the expansion of the
Navy five years ago, they could
have easily eliminated all separa-
ton and discrimination based on /!
color, and by this time the color
question would have been ended |
in the Navy.
If colored and white Americans
served in the U. S. Navy unsegre-
gated for $50 years, there is no
reason why they cannot do so
today.
We believe the fault lies at the
top rather than at the bottom.

administration.
Three weeks ago, after being
in office 20 months, the Mayor
appointed two Negro gentlemen
to serve on civic unity commit
tee, the function of which is to
relieve racial tension in the com
munity, but 1t is common know
ledge that this was but a last
minute effort to win political
support. The majority of Negro
voters, however, will not be
fooled. We have all heard of
deathbed appointments before.

Register Now to Cast
Your Vote

If some crackpot had intro
duced a bill in the last session
of the state legislature disfran-
! chising 40 per cent of the Negro
voters in this state the uproar
would have b cen deafening.
There would have been mass
meetings, resolutions and denun-
Citations loud enough to reverber-
ate around the world.
But competent observers say
/ that 80 per cent of Seattle's city
Negro voters won't vote in the
coming primary and in the No
vember election. Some of them
won't vote because they are too
lazy, or too busy or too un-
patriotic to go to the polls; the
majority of that number won't
vote because they aren't properly
registered.
Some of the unregistered ones
haven't done so because they
aren't familiar with Washington
laws and customs; they come
from sections of the country
where Negroes aren't allowed to
vote and it hasn't dawned on
them that this state has no such
restrictions. Some of the others
whose names aren't on the voters
rolls know that they have a right
to vote but just aren't Interested;
they're the wise guys who tell
you that it doesn't make any diff
ference anyhow; my vote won't
change the election.
You know some of those
people. Maybe you are on them.
Look the facts straight in the
eye. Think of the millions of
dollars Negroes have spent to get
the right to vote in the states
where it is denied them. Think
how indignant you would be If
you lived in such a state.
Remember, too, that although
your one vote won't change the |
result of an election, thousands !
of single votes will.
After you have thought it over. /
look into your own case. Find ,
out whether or not you're eligible
to vote. If you aren't, then reg
ister. If you are. find out about
your neighbor. Get him to reg
ister; remember that you need
his vote even if he thinks he
doesn't.
Register. Get your neighbor to
register. And after you have reg
stored, vote. And get your
to vote.
