sink, and otherwise demonstrates
himself to be craven.
In spite of these manifestations
OF wormliness, the basic premise of
Scarlet Street" is that Chris's
painting talent under the inspira-
ton of his love for Kitty flowers
into something sensational. Sold
under Kitty's name, they make
Cezanne and his contemporaries
among the impressioniSts just a
bunch Of old-timers useful to the
critics, and dealers, merely for pur-
poses Of comparison.
Unhappily, for all the energy
they put into 1t, Robinson, Miss
Bennett and the others never quite
make the various elements of the
shocking story believable. You keep
thinking that like the same thing
in woman in the Window" 1t is all
going to turn out to be bad dream.
All, OF course, except the fact that
girl like Miss Bennett in the pic
ture, and Duryea, really deserve to
be killed with sharp pick and a
hot electric chair, respectively.

Scarlet Street" offers small oc-
casion for spirited defense Of its
theme and its treatment.
The notoriety the censors i'm
posed upon the picture becomes one
Of Its dramatic flaws in that 1t in
vites audience elements to talk
back to the characters on the
screen. It is disconcerting to hear
sound track conversations suddenly
become sort of mass CAB sessions,
but part Of being daring in the
fashion OF Scarlet Street" is to
dare these audience elements to
have their say. They do have it,
and II 1t is something for which
the producers of the screen drama
did not bargain, they are not alb
solved from blame. In the past,
movie makers of the caliber of
Producer Walter Wanger and Writer
Nicaols have been able to hold the
customers spellbound.
Another defect of Scarlet Street"
against which the producers might
have taken precautions is that it is
almost identical with Woman in
the Window" with the difference
this time that 1t is not a dream.
Hero Edward G.. Robinson is again
taken In by sleazy siren played by
Joan Bennett but on this occasion
he really uses an ice pick-and in
very unfriendly way, you NAV be
sure. Also, Miss Bennett takes the
same punching around from her
sadist lover, Dan Duryea, but this
time 1t is physical and goes for
several more rounds. These episodes
as its dramatic high points cannot
fail to give the impression that the
old picture is being made with the
realistic ending.
This impression Is not modified
BY the fact that Scarlet Street" Is

Center Aids Veterans
In Avoiding Unsound
Business Ventures

Nearly 100 veterans have come to
the veterans Information Center
for help in becoming their own
bosses but many are being convinced
they should not go into business,
Center Director Waldron E. Leon
ard reported last ngiht.
He told the Washington Board
OF Trade, which has provided so
businessmen to consult with vet
Grams, that the services of the con-
sultantS and the center have been
OF great value to the veteran in
counseling him not to enter the
business he had selected"
Mr.. Leonard cited the case of
veteran who planned to buy bowl
ing alley for $4,000 and wanted the
center to find out If the venture was
sound. A survey by the center dis
closed that the bowling alley had
been offered for sale shortly before
at $4,000 and that the probable rea-
son for selling was the proposed in
stallatlon of modern recreation
center with more bowling alleys only
block away. The veteran dropped
the project.
In another case, Mr.. Leonard said,
two brothers came to the center to
find out where they could get a
Government-guaranteed loan for 81
900 each to start a delioatessen, bak-
cry and grocery selling Swiss prod
ucts. After an interview at the CEN
ter, the brothers were sent to one
of the business consultants, bank
official, who told them they didn't
need Government-guaranteed loan,
that their assets were enough to OBJ
tain a loan, and furthermore, his
bank would make the loan.
Among veterans sent to the trade
boards consultants were:
A veteran who had bought sur
plus property boat to carry COM
mercial fishing parties; one who
wanted to open a gift shop in a
nearby Maryland shopping center;
one who wanted to buy surplus prop
erty trucks to go into the trucking
business; one who was interested in
a self-service laundry where patrons
In the neighborhood could come to
wash their own clothes and one who
needed help in getting meat sup
plies after buying a small market.
Among the veterans told to wait
awhile before becoming their own
bosses were pair who planned to
start an electric appliance firm, had
found location for their proposed
store and wanted to know what
chance they had of receiving conces-
sions from large electrical manufac-
turers. They were sent to busi-
ness counsellor, an official of one of
the electrical companies, who told
them electrical supplies were not
yet plentiful and advised them to
work long enough for an established
electric appliance company to learn
more about the business.
