book. /,
He makes exceptions now and
then, the most recent OF which was
John Steinbeck's The WayWard
Bus"
Z It turned out that he was one OF
those who did not like Steinbeck
! in "Wayward Bus" form. In fact,
he finished the novel in such q
frenzy of .disapproval that he
tossed it across the room and
rushed over to his bookshelves to
do q quick rereading of THE Red
Pony"
This, he thought, would restore
some remnant of his faith in Stein
beck. It was a sound thought and
the man finished 'The Red Pony"
with as much enthusiasm as he had
had disdain for the same author q
short hour before.
"At least the fellow could write,
the man said, and being a movie
critic, he fell to wondering why no
one ever had thought to make q
screen play of ".The Red Pony"
Maybe" he reflected in a now
gentler mood, maybe, it Is because
this story Of a boy and his beloved
pony struck Hollywood as being too
grim, to full Of the morbid lessons
of life. Since then, of course, Holly
wood has faced some Of the facts OF
life rather bravely, although it still
obviously prefers the figures OF its
sculptured girls. Come to think OF
| 1t, it finally has made picture
which is quite like The Red Pony In
lits theme. Yes, The Yearling' says
very much the same thing; and
says 1t quite ruthlessly, too"
Whether or not this is the way it
happened in Hollywood, someone
out there apparently was coming to
an identical conclusion-that "Ihe
Red Pony" is the best Of Steinbeck,
and that If 1.-THE Yearling" could be
made, why not that other story Of
a little boy named Jody?
That is how 1t comes to pass today
that Republic Pictures, which loves
horses as does no other big or little
studio, will make a screenplay Of
''The Fed Pony"
Robert Mitchum will play Billy
Buck, the hired hand who had
way with horses and with lonely
little lads on foothill ranches, and
who also knew something about life
and that, unlike animals and boys
named Jody, it was not gentle.
This much good, then, 1.-THE Way
ward Bus" did do, that it sent people
back to reading '"The Red Pony"
One of whom happened to work
for Republic Pictures.

The legendary devotion Of Texans
to Texas finds a new expression in
the theater today. Its heroine is
Mary Martin who has just an
nounced that she will take the lead
in the road company OF Annie Get
Your Gun" for Richard Rodgers
and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Now, Miss Martin, as no one
needs to be told, is not the girl one
would expected to find in the lead
in the road company OF anything,
including aAnnie Get Your Gun"
How, then, explain her decision?
It actually is quite simple: The
producers merely decided that the
road tour of annie" would open at
the Texas State Fair next October.
Three weeks 1t will run there and
for three weeks in Texas, what
Texas girl would resist the tempta-
ton?
Not Mary Martin.

Why the Chinese
Think and Act
The Way They Dc

TIDES FROM THE WEST,
A CHINESE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
BY Chang Monlin. (Ne1D Hauen,
Yale University Press; s3.50J
Reviewed. by
ARTHUR w. HUMMEL,
Chief, Orientalia Division, Library
OF Congress
Many who are interested in pres
ent-day Chinese problems, or in the
Chinese conception of life, will find
this gentle memoir both enjoyable
and informative. For IS turbulent
years the author was chancellor of
Peking National University and for
two years was minister of education
His purpose is to trace the changes
in Chinese mentality in the 100
years since 91842 when England
blasted China's southern gates open
to world commerce" In this he sue
ceeds far better than most authors
of our day, for-as a true Chinese
humanist-he writes without pas
sion or egotism, even about events
in which he took a major part.
Seemingly trif1ing events. which
had stamped themselves indelibly on
his mind, Chancellor Chang utilizes
to give meaning to great social and
political movements. It is pleasant to
peep over his shoulder as he tells of
his youthful years in the village near
Hangchow in which his ancestors
had lived for II generations: of his
student days in America: of the
charms of life in Peking: of the stu
dent revolts which he did so much
to pacify, and of the trying decades
when Japan put a rope of economic
corporation around China's neck
and tried to make her believe 1t was
necklace"
Here is Chinese writer who
knows his country we'll. and yet
cannot view her pessimistically
Chinese thought" he says, SIS cen
tered on the development of human
relations" and in his view it is this
age-long preoccupation which will
fit China to be a modern state that
wishes to do no wrong to other
people" The reading of such book
AS is all study of Chinese culture
Is an enriching experience.
