Jim crow in the fheater

Fans of INGRID BERGMAN's
wonderful looks, matching charm
and top-flight acting found yet
another feather to add to her
wellfeathered cap. She is an en-
envy of jim crow. When the play
Joan of Lorraine" in which
INGRID is starring, opened in
Washington, D. c., she told re-
porters that she considered their
city a bad one for a "first per-
Torrance" Reason: The discrirn-
ination which bars Negroes from
theaters in the nations capital.
incidentally, SAM WANAMAK-
Err, "Joans" leading man, is
not the only Chicagoan in the
cast. ROGER DE KOVEN, who
played here with many repertory
groups also has a juicy part in
the play.

Powerful novel Of Hungarian
poverty is Pens Temptation"

TEMPTATION by John Pen,
Creative Age Press, N. Y. $500.
1T is not without reason that
many years ago, Henri Barbusse
said of John Pen that he was
zone of the greatest hopes of
modern literature" At that time
Pen had written but one book,
you Can't Do That To Svoboda. 4"
TEMPTATION is his second
work, and is one of the finest
novels of 1916.
Pen is a Hungarian and his
book is translated from that
language. He is now In Amer.
lea and has been writing movie
scenerios under various pseudo
nyms. Scenarios that were Of
such a quality that few years
ago one of them won the Acad.
envy Award.
TEMPTATION is a great and
powerful novel laid in Hungary
between the two world wars. 1t
is the story of Bella, a boy born
into the dire poverty of agrarian
postwar Hungary, a poverty he
never succeeds in conquering for
any length of time. The realistic
depletion of his hunger and
poverty is one of the greatest
literary expositions of those con
ditions of man since Hamsun's
"Hungre."
BELA MIGRATES to Budapest
in his early teens and obtains
employment in one of the great
hotels there, where he witnesses
the decadence and opulence of
the Hungarian upper classes.
There is nothing he does not ex-
perience, physically and mentally
as a result of this exposure to the
vileness of bourgeois life.
The only happy periods of
Bela's life is when he has contact
with those who are working In
the illegal government opposition
groups, fighting against the rise
of fascism in Hungary.
It is then that the pattern of
life begins to make some rea-
son for existence for him. He
never fully succeeds i'm estab-
fishing himself as an active par
ticipant in the proIetarian
struggles, but we feel that In
the next book, or in later life,
he will.
TEMPTATION is indeed a
book not to be missed. It has the
greatness, dignity and profundity
which by comparison makes the
average good" novel a very
weak book.

IlI(I~~~%A
Xmas Rush Was
l5% Above 1915,
Postmaster SAYS

The Christmas season brought
Is percent increase in the vol
ume of local business of the Key
West Postoffice over last year.
Postmaster Hollon r. Bervaldl
said today. Despite the addition
of 10 additional carriers and five
additional clerks, the staff was
required to work considerably
longer hours than last year, he
said.
Reasons given for the jump in
volume of business were: Cd more
goods were available this season
% people bought more articles
since they had a wider range of
selection.
Postofice receipts this year,
however, were lower than last
year because of the decrease in
military activities, the postmaster
said.
OF the temporary help taken on
for the Christmas rush, all but
one, a former employee, was vet
eran. The 10 additional carriers
consisted of seven route carriers
and three on the parcel post
truck. .. ,.:
The postmaster also reported
today that a 80 percent increase
in the sale of air mail stamps has
been noted here since the price
was decreased from eight to five
cents. fs
