Doctors Regarding
Addicts OF Alcohol
As Disease Victims

Chronic alcoholism is gaining
increasing recognition as being
a problem of physical-mental
health rather than solely the
moral problem it used to be
considered. Alcohol addicts are
now regarded by doctors as vic
TINS of a disease instead of as
deliberate delinquests. 1t is be-
coming more and more apparent
that alcoholism, like any other
disease, has definite causes, and
may often be prevented and
cured by discovering these caus-
es and remedving them.
In the light of existing scien-
tific knowledge of alcoholism and
its causes, it is evident that the
old ideas of punishment for al
coholism are usually as effective
as the obsolete idea of Furnishing
insane persons that once pre-
vailed. Many thousands of for
mer alcoholics have been cured
by practical or applied group
psyehotherapy. Doctors. psychol-
ogists and psyehiatrists have also
demonstrated that alcoholism
frequently can be cured by in
dividual treatment.
Successful treatment usually
requires study Of the emotional
or nervous Embellishments that
have caused addition. 1t also re-
quires medical treatment of the
physical damage to the various
organs OF the body that may
have resulted from prolonged
and excessive intake of alcohol.
Often chronic alcoholism is ac-
companied by a diet that is def
cient in essentials. particularly
various vitamin-rich foods.

to iu jitsu, an art that involves the
use of the feet as we'll as the hands.
Blood on the Sum-" Cagney's sec
ond production since he turned in
dependent, finds him playing an
other newSpaperman. This one is an
American editor in Tokyo, a chap
who publishes an English language
newspaper which turns out to be a
fine way of getting into trouble with
the Japanese war lords.
The action-and what action
centers in the editors knowledge
that there exists Japanese blue
print for world domination and his
determination to get it and lay 1t be-
fore the world before the Japs can
lay waste the world. That, you can
bet, is dizzy assignment and before
Cagney and his large cast are
through with it, you will be dizzy,
too. The cast, by the way, Is quite
a competent one with such people
as Sylvia Sidney, John Emery, Wal
lace Ford and virtually every ORR
ental-visaged performer in Holly
wood. Miss Sidney makes pretty
half-cast and Emery comes of well
as the almond-eyed Premier Tanaka,
author of the plan for world con-
quest.
Garrett Forts original story,
adapted for Cagney by Lester Cole,
makes a pretense of introducing
new material into the plot, but the
pretense is not one likely to fool
you. The ground it covers has been
made familiar in dozen pictures,
especially that Tokyo saloon in
which it seems American newspa-
permen live exclusively on diet of
whisky and soda. That Cagney and
his cohorts could drink that much
and remain on their feet-much less
lay out the ju jitsu champion Of
Japan-is extremely dubious. So are
a lot of other elements that go into
the melodrama which the actor con-
cluded was the currently perfect
vehicle for him.
The theory of journalism which
Cagney practices in Blood on the
Sun" Is the rough and tumble one.
His answer to the silky sauvity of
the Tokyo war lords Is a sock in the
jaw or kick in the groin. His ways
are perfectly calculated to invite
them to do their worst, and it is
quite possible they will inspire you
to think the Japs were not entirely
wrong-or it would If the others in
the picture were not Japs.
The fury of Blood on the Sun"

BY PATRICIA SIMMONS

It's Murder, He Says" at the
Capitol this week, and we say SO
too. There's only one thing that
might possibly save the picture for
anything other than strictly juve-
nile audience, and that's few ad-
ditional murders.
Even at their best, Abbott and
Costello wouldn't get away with
some of the stuff Director George
Marshall casually tosses at Fred
MacMurray and Helen Walker
They do their best but, for the most
part, it's like looking for a needle
in madhouse. Blithely the prin-
cipals battle to the bitter end
against such odds as collapsing fur
niture, walking ghosts, attic trap
doors, secret panels and phospho-
resent effects which cause them to
glow in the dark. Really, girls, you
just haven't lived until you see Fred
MacMurray's handsome profile light
up in a dark closet.
That's about the most we can say
for the picture or the Fleagles for
that matter, the Fleagles being a
lethal little family group who go
about humping off snoopers, which
is where MacMurray comes in. He's
Trotter Poll man collecting rural
data when he crosses the Fleagle
path, but a mere hulk of his former
self by the time they finish with
him. Contusions and bruises sus-
tanned by the actor throughout the
remainder of the picture are too
many to enumerate. Suffice it to
say that you'll suffer plenty along
with the rest of the cast.

begins when Cagney's paper pub
fishes a hint of the existence of the
Tanaka plan, a device he uses to
smoke out the local militarists.
Hornets could not be smoked out
more quickly than the Japs, who
institute such instantaneous re-
prisals as wrecking the newspaper
office, killing couple of Cagney's
closest associates, beating the day
lights out of the editor and then
tossing him into Jail on a trumped-
up charge Of being drunk and dis
orderly.
Instead of discouraging him, this
rough third-degree process merely
makes him the more determined to
get his hands on the Tanaka plan.
That, of course, leads him to a meet
ing and a romance with Miss Sidney
who, in her beautiful half-caste way,
has charmed Premier Tanaka and
consequently seems q very likely
girl to help the editor out with his
espionage.
This affair, as Cagney romances
almost invariably do, has its rugged
moments In which 1t seems the
hero's passionate impulse to kiss
his beloved is likely to turn into an
irresistible temptation to slap her.
She also Is a human of strong i'm
pulses which should help the yio-
lence along, but 1t ends up-if you
don't mind knowing-that Miss Sid
ney is virtually the only one in the
cast who escapes sock by the hero.
The climax toward which the
Swirling action of Blood on the
Sun" leads is another of those fights
which Hollywood always hopes will
be more violent than the famous one
in the old 'The Spoilers" 1t Is one
that pits the minute Cagney against
what must be the largest japanese
in the history Of the Nip race
Their weapons are bare hands and
heavily shod feet and the time they
spend striking and kicking each
other around is the longest and
most violent interval in a film this
year. Maybe since "The Spoilers. F."
None of those who contribute to
blood on the Sun" are required to
do any particularly adroit acting,
but the caliber Of performances they
offer should have been quite satisfy
ing to Employer Cagney.
II 1t Is sheer violence you want,
the Palace Is the place for you.
Otherwise, no.
