A FILM MILESTONE

David o. Selznick's "Since You
Went Away" which opens at the
Kootenai Theatre Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, March l8, 19, 20, star
ring Claudette Colbert, Joseph Cot
ten, Jennifer Jones, Shirley Temple,
Monty Woolley. Lionel Barrymore
and Robert Walker, is another
tribute to Selznick's master movie
making. Taking the simple theme
of the life of an ordinary American
family on the home front, Selznick
has woven the story of all America.
1t is the first real tribute to the
unsung heroes of Americas superb
war effort-the women and chill
dren back home.
Directed by John Cromwell, who
has been behind the megaphone
on some of Hollywood's greatest
successes, "Since You Went Away
sets a mood of alternate pathos and
humor-With the humor always
predominating No saga of sorrow
this, rather it is a song of the
courage, the hope and the ability
of Americans to laugh and find hap
piness even in the face of tragedy
An all-star cast keeps the story
always foremost. Despite the fact
that seven of Hollywood's greatest
stars are gathered in important
roles there is no feeling of mil
ion-dollar emoting' Rather the
subtlety and understanding in each
individual performance produced a
feeling of neighborliness, of self
recognition in each member OF the
| assembled audience. Orchids to the
cast for the greatest collective per-
| Torrance to reach the screen.
In his careful attention to detail,
/ Selznick has brought every facet
of contemporary American life vi
wildly alive on screen Nothing is
missing in this heartWarming piano.
rama Of the American home front.

MATTER or RECORD

Labor leaders in the United

cSted in Drucker'S observation to
this effect:
1T il a matter of record that
the present methods could not
he introduced at all as long as
the eRussian trade unions had
any independence. II was be-
cause of their resistance to
piecewOrk rates and incentive
wages that the old union leaders
were purged in the early days
Of the induStrialiZatiOn drive,
and that trade union autonomy
was abolished. The union Of
ficialS, SO-called, now working
in Russian plants are actually
government appointed, and the
speedup Is among their main
responsibilities"
Detroit evening times., 1945-07-25
CURIOUS TRENDS

In alludlng 10 the curious
trends, Drucker observes:
above all. the admirers ~
RuSSia'S wage-and-incOme policy
In America today are correct
I'm one concluSion-that the
Russian example has shown
that IL iS in the interest Of
national prosperity and indus
trial efficiency TO reward the
worker for using his initiative
and Imagination. as opposed 10
the growing tendency In Amer
lean industry 10 base wages
exclusively on seniority rather
than on merit"
My own view is that we should
he objective IN regard TO all mat
tiers which pertain TO improve
ment of the material well-being
of people. Certainly II would be
an error 10 assume that the
United States with It's high pro-
ductivlty per worker should
blindly follow Russia with IFS
relatively low productivity pei
