BY PATRICIA SIMMONS.

"This Mans Navy" Is one mans
movie which you have probably
guessed already. However, it will
be more than just the Wallace Beery
fans who flock to the Capitol this
week for there's a blond on stage
by the name of Marilyn Maxwell,
and you'll know what we mean after
you see for yourself.
AS Beery opuses go '"This Mans
Navy" is undoubtedly as good as any.
In addition to Beery and his tall
stories there's quite bit Of excellent
photography glorifying the Navy
blimp. The aerial action shots are
particularly good, for instance,
where the Navy patrol ship sights
and destroys an enemy submarine,
but Is knocked out Of the air during
the battle.
There are effective scenes in the
hangar and more fine shots with
ground crews playing their respec-
tive roles like a family of industrious
ants, as they send the great ship
majestically on its way. Our favor
ite is Beery pushing the electric
button to open the gargantuan doors
of the blimp hangar-in waddles the
Navy mascot, a 2-by-4 mutt wagging
its tail.
Rest of the picture runs true to
Beery form. Just about all the
actor has to do is change his uni
form. He's there as chief Navy
pilot out in front of a bunch of
young recruits explaining what's
expected of them in the well-known
Beery manner. Back in the bar
racks with his cronies even Beery's
conversational punctuation is fa-
miliar-

As usual matchmaking endeavors
are given free rein and script writer's
provide Tom Drake as the young
Navy hero and pretty Jan Clayton,
a girl any one would be willing to
come home to. Slight complications
arise when Bachelor Beery attempts
to pass young Drake of as his son,
but Drake is more than up to it. He
rubs his hand. sQuints his left eye
and mugs right along with Beery so
that even Beery's old Navy pal,
James Gleason, thinks he sees a
family resemblance.

For the first time in many years,

and put clean diapers on the con-

The Cast.

mary where the questioning mind
Of the young student challenges doc
trinal points, manifests a decidedly
aggressive social viewpoint in favor
of the common man and generally
irks his superiors until kindly
understanding bishop has the in
spiration to set him on his own by
sending him to China.
The things that happen to the
young priest in that far-fiung out
post of Christianity certainly are
the sort to keep man from thinking
Of himself.
The church that he expected to
find has been destroyed and the
fock-many of whom had adopted
the faith for the rice that went with
its adoption-had scattered. To
that complete poverty which he
must fight is quickly added preju-
dice which may turn violent at any
moment, disease, ridicule and the
old sense of helplessness and futility
which can be corrected only by the
enormous spiritual force which he
suddenly finds within himself.
A wealth of dramatic incident, IL
fact an embarrassment of riches
is crammed into the Chinese area ol
the film which consumes most of the
more than two hours 1t is allowed
to run. In it the adapters OF the
Cronin story have found the ma
terial of humor, suspense, and, in a
curiously compromising way, OF
romance which is infused with a
spiritual essence. 1t is occasionally
difficult to believe that so many
things could happen to one man or
need happen to one to prove him to
be a man of inf1exible courage, of
spasmodically foolish bravado. of
hndliness, humor, wisdom and
understanding.
The secondary characters who
frame Father Chisholm are never
allowed to become indistinct on the
huge canvas of his career.
They are strikingly limned by
players who refuse to be over
shadowed. This is especially true of
the atheist friend of the priest,
played by Thomas Mitchell: by Rosa
Stradner as the patrician nun, whose
own inner conflict Is as intense as
the missionary fathers; by Edmund
Gwenn as the old bishop with the
tWlnkling eyes and the conviction
that fishing is fine thing for the
human soul, and by Benson Forsg
as the artful first convert of the
mission. Other lesser parts are
played with equal excellence. each
OF them bent to the proof that
Father Chisholm was a great and
lovable man.
1t is a point with which those who
see "The Keys of the Kingdom
are profoundly likely to agree.

A Short Story
CHE knew it would happen tonight, and she
- was ready for it - ready as anyone could
be for a thing like this. Their marriage, which
they'd said once, gaily and bravely, was firm
as rock, had turned out to be sand, after all;

this sand marriage, the way it had been since
he returned from overseas, was suddenly
crumbling.
Tonight it must be good-by, she thought -
