THE CAST

that it is high time she be allowed
to play with love instead of always
being tormented by it. She is a
very able wench at driving men
crazy, just as capable at it, indeed,
as she was in those previous solemn
|ScreenplayS in which she caught the
emotional anguish.
The dizzy fable which involves
her with the four males mentioned
above starts with her about to be-
come the bride of Abel. He is mad
about her, as who would not be, but
when he begins to get the notion
that she is all things to all men, he
thinks he had better look into her
emotional case history. What he
discovers is very disconcerting to
him and quite amusing to the on
locker.
Susan, it seems, started life as a
beautiful, simple-hearted, realistic
girl on an island offshore from
Providence, r. I. Brent. a the
atrical producer, found her there
and was so enormously impressed
by her beauty and blunt truthful
ness that he married her and made
her star. When her honesty
wrecks him financially by driving
away his hackers, he sends her
packing to Reno.
She comes back from there a
wiser woman and in her next rela-
tionship, this one with blunt
character from the wide prairie, she

that they could have gone better.
In permitting Miss Fontaine to
become merry and family mad in
her relation to the opposite sex,
Paramount gave her a caliber Of
support that hardly any actress has
right to expect. 1t supports her
with George Brent, Walter Abel,
Dennis OKeefe and Don de Fore,
four fine hearts for any girl to toy
with and break. 1t is quite mirth-
full job she does of destroying them
before your very eyes and if the
script writer's had done an equally
good one, the Nets picture would
have been a more potent candidate
for top comedy position in its season.
The outstanding flaw in Miss
Fontaine's debut asa hoyden is her
pictures use of the f1ashback. Holly
wood has gone practically crazy
about the f1ashback lately, as you
well know. THE Affairs of Susan,
however, represents veritable
crisscross of flashbacks, so many
of them that you sometimes think
perhaps you went momentarily blind
and missed part of the plot as 1t
flashed by.
When you and Miss Fontaine are
together on the same story line in
the farce at the Met, it is apparent

IFS completely untruthful And quite
untrue in refined sort of way.
She comes out of that experience
with the feeling that she is a shal.
low sort and in a romantic set-te
with the next man, cynical writer
she turns terrifically intellectual
He is non-violent revolutionary
author, disbeliever in marriage
and lot of other institutions. Be-
fore he met Susan, he seems te
have found no woman to encourage
him in his extreme liberalism and
he goes emotionally berserk to find
any one so wonderful. He discovers
that once again it merely is that
Susan is great actress, girl who
can play any role she thinks will be
effective for male audience of one
That puts her right back where
Brent found her on the island of
Providence.
Miss Fontaine revels in the va
riety which she is able to put into
her four different portraits of Susan
No actress has had more changes OF
costume in any comedy since before
the war and we recall none that has
had better opportunity to be
clever. You might not expect hel
to be completely at home in some
of the bright, brittle dialogue and
some of those intimate situations
which enfold her in THE Affairs OF
C1lSQn - That iS uhare voll will fpG
yourself wrong, however.
The others involved in the Nets
farce are less happily cast. Brent
and Abel, two suave gents, FIND
themselves confronted by the neces-
sity for being violent and tempestu-
GUS and they seem none too certain
of themselves in the roles.
DeFore and Keefe, the Other
members of Susan's backfield, &C.
quit themselves comfortably, how.

"A Race Menace

WASHINGTON. - Speaking to
his third packed and jammed audi
forum within seven days in Wash
ington. d. C.. Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr. addressed the
National Council OF Negro Women
at historic Metropolitan Baptist
church. Wednesday. February IA
Mr.. Powell spoke from the theme.
The Challenge OF Todays Crisis"
He warned the Negro people 10
stand together as never before. To
be alert 10 modern Uncle Toms"
He branded Edgar Brown as "one
OF the greatest menaces 10 the Ne
gro people. He is an Uncle Tom
who received support from those
whites who are not only against
the Negro people but against the
best Interests Of all American peo-
pie and this democracy itself" He
lashed out at the National Negro
Council Of which Edgar Brown is
the executive secretary by saying,
II was a "one-desk one-man or
ganlzatIon."
THE CONGRESSMA went on
TO say that We are not living in a
changing world but I'VE are living
in changed world Civil War II
Is taking place in this nation but
it is not being fought on the basis
of north versus south nor is it be-
ing fought with violence, IL is. be-
ing fought on the basis of the COM
mon man, black and white, against
those who would keep him from
reaching full democracy"
He pointed To the great gains
made in the south. voices I'm high
places are being raised on behalf
Of the common man and a purging
has already begun OF the vicious
influences in southern politics"
The Congressman in closing eau
toned his audience of three things:
First. be careful wherever we go
for the entire race is going to be
Judged by the words and acts of
individuals; second, practice thrift
and live within ones means; and
third. watch out for modern Uncle
Toms"
He said finally that we are 60
ing To become first class citizens
in a first class world"

abolished from any such procedure" I" he declared. As far as is humanly possible, the ultimate results will be accurate"
 Where errors have been found or suspected, full opportunity to adjust them will be forthcoming by due process" he added.
 In this instance, the chief asses sor was referring to the procedure whereby a taxpayer who feels he has a justified complaint may un- der the law first take the complaint to the chief assessor and who in tXrn may either make the readjustment or assign the case to the Board of Tax Review. The latter will be as- sisted by members of the Horan firm in deciding the case.
 One-Fifth Disputed
 In a recent statement before the Finance Board, MT. Jenks said that of the $25 million anticipated in- crease, possibly $5 million would be subject to litigation. Therefore, he advised, that amount should not be considered as potential revenue un- til the time it is determined as free of claim or has been proven as not justifici asSestment
 "F'ive million out of $215 million is not a great deal however" the chief assessor pointed out. In all such cases the firm of George B. Horan Inc, must present itself in defense of it's practice in arriving at the original estimates.
 Many will feel this new evalua- tion," MT. Jenks commented q fully expect that many an irate citizen will be parked at my door once the figures are revealed; but this is fair honest endeavor to place Wa terbury's assessment picture on a healthy plane"
 SPecial Form
 A special card has been prepared which will be forwarded to all prop erty owners who are receiving in- creases. The card contains the previous land and building assess ments and the new ones, together with an excerpt from the State Statute declaring that the individ- ual has recourse to legal procedure in case of contest of the claim.
 New equipment will be added to the local office the first of next year, MT. Jenks said. By means of this equipment it has been prom ised by authorities that the city will have one of the top up-to-date as- sessor's office in the country.
 "The property owners will know where they stand next year." MT. Jenks declared.
 Explanatory interviews disclosing the various other means of arriving at assessed valuations will be forth coming through this newspaper.

PoIiceC Chiefs Expect Roach At Meeting
 Local Supt. Listed
 As Sneaker

William J. Roach, superintendent of police, will be on the program of the Sand annual conference of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Miami Beach December 10 to l3.
 Supt. Beach will take part in a panel discussion on Police Educa- ton and Training" during the open ing day of the conference.
 Commissioner Edward J. Hickey, of the Connecticut State Police, Chief of Police John M. Gleason of Greenwich, and Supt. John A. Lyddy of the Bridgeport police de- partment are also taking part in the conference program.
 Deputy Supt. Daniel J. Carson was granted permission to attend the conference in place of Roach who, at the time permission was granted by the Board of Police Commissioners, was on active mili- tary duty with the U. s. Army.
 Roach said today that Carson is already on his way, and added: "Ill be there too, if I can possibly make it.
 Roach, who is one of the execu- tive officers of the Association, add ed that he believed the conference tc be one of the most important to date.
 Approximately 1000 police execu- tives, government officials and rep resentatives of the armed forces are expected to attend the conference. The program, which is significant because of the many problems fac ing the police in the present period of transition from war to peace, will feature addresses by outstand- ing authorities in their special fields of law enforcement.
 Included among the "big names" on the conference program are: J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI; Chief Frank J. Wilson, director of the U. S. Secret Service; Maj. Gen. Leslie R, Groves, of the War De- partment, director of the atomic bomb program; Atty. Gen. Thomas c. Clark, of Washington, and Brig Gen. Edward H. Lastayo, chief of the highway division, office of the chief of transportation, War De- partment.
