it hard to get excited over imita-

an occasional weird effect come
off well in the recordings.

Dorothy Shay, "the Park Ave

hit with her parodies of noun

obvious than Beatrice Kay's, and
her effects more amusing. An op-

CRITICS q CRUSADERS BY
Charles A. Madison. Henry Holt
& Co. $3.50.
This is well-written book GOV
ering "A Century of Protest,
which is its subtitle.
Beginning with the abolitionists
and VIM. Lloyd Garrison, it pro.
crosses in chronological order
through the utopians, anarchists,
dissident economists, militant lib
erals, socialists, to John Reed:
"Rebel into Revolutionary"
The portrait studies also in
clude John Brown, Edward Bel
lamy, Emma Goldman, Thorstein
Veblen, John Peter Altgeld, Lin
coin Steffens, Eugene v. Deps
and score of others.
The author has used original
source material, plus material of
dubious origin and more of solid
substance and origin like Buck
master, Enrich, Pleckanov, Drei-
ser, w. z. Foster, Karl Marx,
Robert Minor, Charles Ruthen-
berg, and Albert Rhys Williams.
The last chapter on John Reed
is very warm and sympathetic
and the whole book lends itself
to informative and enjoyable
reading.

,Yeorfng' q pretty film but
misses out on possibilities
Bx MARJORIE MILTON

BY MARJORIE MILTON
THE YEARLING", now at the
State-Lake Theater, is one of the
prettiest movies ever offered oy
the film industry. The use of the
adjective pretty" rather than
beautiful is deliberate because
the emotional effect of this mo-
vie is always pleasing and never
powerful.
There is a fine hairline which
divides genuine sentiment from
mere sentimentality and it seems
TO me that "The Yearling" bal
ances precariously on this line.
1t is the treatment of the film
rather than its plot which places
its emotional value on this liS-
certain level
A lonely little boy brings1home
a tiny fawn who becomes his de-
voted and adored companion.
When the fawn is a yearling he
begins to destroy the crops which
provide the only food for the
boys family. Faced with starva-
ton if the destruction continues,
the boys parents make it clear
to him that he must shoot the
little creature.
HERE is powerfully tragic ma
terial for deeply moving and
simple story. Yet the terrible
struggle for existence. the fine
sympathy between the boy and
his father, the deep conflict with
in Ma Baxter never quite comes
off.
The boys father explains to
his son the reasons for his mo-
theirs cold exterior, but the au-
dience cannot share i'm his un-
Outstanding. 1t is only the hus-
band who knows the grief of
his wife over the loss of three
children and her fear for the
fourth child who may also be
lost to her. The audience is
given this background, but Ma
Baxter remains the stereotype
of an embittered woman.
Many of the interior shots are
so carefully composed that one
gains the impression of looking
at pictures in a gallery; the au-
dience remains onlookers and not
participants.
WHILE THE boys reaction in
the climax scene in which he
kills the deer is violent and ter
ribly tragic, there is little under
standing of the deep psychic in
jury to child which such an ex-
perience would inevitably inflict
Claude Jarman, Dr., as JOdy,
handles a difficult and taxing
role with exceptional skill. As
Penny and Ma Baxter, Gregory
Peck and Jane Wyman are
highly competent, but they
skim the surface. The Techni-
color is beautiful, but TOO gOr-
geOusly brilliant for any iIIu-
sion of reality.
1t should be emphasized that
this movie is far above the aver
age, wholesome and based on real
values. We regret only that such
potentially fine material, which
could have had a powerful and
memorable impact, has been
given a treatment which makes
it merely a movie to be enjoyed
and forgotten.

the band industry is in partic-

especially true of those states
