Fox Offers
Fine Romance

HISTORY MAY repeat itself,
but generally not in such elabo-
rate Technicolor terms as they've
dreamed up for Chopin-George
Sand romance, which the Fox
screen has 10 offer in "A Song
10 Remember" this week.
It's a beautiful picture fully
equipped with a sound track that
is incompatible TO listen 10. in
fact, it's one of the few films we've
heard-rather than seen--in a
long time and we would have
been perfectly content to just
listen 10 the music without having
had TO open our eyes.
But, since we did have 20 use
our eyes, we had 10 look at an
exaggerated tale about the young
Polish pianist and his lady love
that didn't quite fulfill all of our
expectations.
Having read the famous George
Sand letters and knowing a little
about the history of such famous
folk of this particular era, we
advise you not to analyze il too
closely.
This presents Chvpin as a very
romantic young man, who over
came his fame as an infant
prodigy, and fees 10 Paris, chap
eroned by his teacher. Professor
Joseph &sner, played by Paul
Mum.
RIVAL MANAGERS
For the films sake, this bril-
liant maestro is made to look like
doddering old fool, although ne
was actually one of the great
teachers Of his time and the tu-
bercular Chopin appears as a
highly temperamental, ungrateful
artist, who fell under the posses
sive spell of a woman, who was
a great writer. but not the black
widow spider that this picture
her 10 be.
The course of the film deals
with the rivalry between the pos
sessive Sand and the suppliant,
pathetic professor, both parts be-
ing Overdrawn 10 a point which
borders on the ridiculous.
Actually, Sand, who was no
where near as attractive as Merle
ObeTon, was no more pOSSessiVe of
Chopin than she was of her other
lovers, and there is nothing 10
SubStantiate the fact that she
didn't want her young Polish pro-
tege to raise money for his people
other than 10 worry about his
health, which was a lost cause
from its tubercular beginning.
But apart from all of the real
facts. you'll find "A Song to Re-
member, a typical historical ro-
nance, beautifully photographed
and lavishly dressed, despite its
factual failings.
A FINE CAST
As we have mentioned previ-
ously. Merle Oberon is entirely
too seductive TO ever portray
Nine. Sand, who was the most
masculine woman of her time.
Cornell Wilde, a newcomer, does
fine job as the naive pianist
composer, but he is not the neu-
rotic introvert which history has
painted him.
He just looks Sallow and un-
happy, although he makes good
pretense Of playing those selec-
tions which have been chosen for
him.
Despite the piano sounding too
sharp and thunderous for Chopin S
actual performance - especially
when he plays the E-flat Nocturne
on a six-octave piano-the music,
whether in actual performance or
in musical montage for back
ground sake, is magnificent.

Croatan Docks
With Soldiers

NEW YORK (NNPA)-The U.
S. S. Croatan, the aircraft carrier
on which 1913 colored soldiers were
barred from sailing from LeHaWe,
arrived at New York last Friday.
Included among the 1926 troops
aboard the ship were six high
point colored casuals who were al
ready on board the aircraft car
rier when the Navy refused to
transport colored troops because
there were no segregation facilities
on the flight deck.
REFUSE REMOVAL
Army officers refused to remove
these six soldiers-one officer and
five enlisted men.
The 1913 colored soldiers, who
were not allowed to sail on the
Croatan, were put aboard the
Thomas johnson Victory, slower
ship.
Investigation of the action of
naval officers in barring the COL
ored soldiers from the Croatan Is
underway. Captain Charles D. Crit
fin, of Virginia Beach Va, is the

-Oppo- ition to the building OF
25O-bed addition for colored vete-
rams at the veterans hospital in
Alexandria, Louisiana, was develop
ing after it became known that the
Veterans Administration had OBJ
tanned President Truman's approval
of such a proposal.
The 250-bed addition at Alexan-
dria represents one-haH of an au-
tiloriZation given in the 1916 IN

the con- tructiOn of a 5OO-bed all
colored veterans hospital in either

cost of SO, 049, $50.
Construction Of another Jim Crow
hospital was opposed by the Negro
Newspaper Publishers ASSOCIATION,
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, the
National Medical Association, the
National Negro Nurses Association
and other organizations.
BASED ON CASES
Opposition to construction of an
addition fol- colored veteran at

Believes 1t
Time For Action

WASHINGTON, D. c. The Tru-
man administration is giving only
Clip service" to the principle of fair
employment practice and President
Truman by his action in the Capt.
tai Transit case has blocked f. e
P c. efforts "at the very source OF
its authority" according to reso-
luton adopted by the Board OF Di-
rectors of the NAACP and tele-
graphed to the White House.
Charging the present administra-
ton with issuing fair words with
out effective actions" the reSclu-
ton declared; 1--WE believe it is
time for the administration to
demonstrate whether it proposes
to take any effective action toward
insuring fair employment practices
for al Americans.
RESOLUTION TEXT
The text of the resolution trans
mitted to President Truman by
Walter White follows:
Zone of the most important prob
ems in this Nations return to
peace-time economy is the right of
every American to be employed
without regard to race, color or
religion. Adequate federal machin-
erv to guarantee fair employment |
practices is imperative. The pres
ent administration III its platform |
last year became dedicated to this !
principle. Since that time the pres
ent administration has given moth !
ing more than lip service to this
principle in the face of frequent |
opportunities to support the exist
ing F'EPC and to enact legislation |
for a permanent federal agency.
Recently the President has in |
substance repudiated the present |
FEPC by summarily prohibiting it |
from issuing a directive against |
discrimination in public transpor-
tation in the nations Capital, pro-
posed after careful investigation |
and elaboration. Thus, although |
the President has expressed his de-
sire that the Committee continue
to function during the reconversion
period, it's efforts to do SO are block
co at the very source of its author
lty.
