Democratic Setup
Needs 0verhauIinq,
ArnaI Declares
BY the kssoeiotsd Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 90
Former Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia
commended today that the Demo-
cratic party needed an organiza-
tional overhauling and expressed the
belief that the setback it received in
the 1916 congressional elections
might aid it in that task.
In contrast. he said in discussing
The Democrats and The Future" in
the current issue of the yale Re-
view" the policies of the Demo-
cratic party require a minimum of
reorientation."
After a detailed analysis of both
the Republican and Democratic
policies, Mr.. Arnan concluded:
IF these illustrations suggest that
the REORGANIZATION of the Democratic.
party presents a minimum of diff
ficulty, it is because that is true.
The overhauling of the Demo-
cratic party, however, is a different
m
Lacks Youthful Vigor
THE organization is In bad shape,
even for the Democrats. It's lead
ership, in too many instances, Is
lacking in youthful vigor. 1t has
become too dependent upon city
machines that are locally dilapd-
dated.
1T has had too much dealing with
practical politicians 1t has failed
to maintain even a minimum of dis
cipline, though the party caucus, in
its congressional ranks"
Remarking that the loss of Con-
gress in 1916 may prove an ad-
vantage to the Democrats In ls4s,"
Mr.. Arnall said: y
"Recusant elements in the party
will be compelled to submit to
greater degree of party discipline,
unless they wish to lose, and poll
ticians dislike to lose"
Policy Restatement Needed.
Mr.. Arnall asserted that while
Democratic policies require little re-
orientation, they do require a max
imum of restatement, so that they
may be contrasted with those offered
by its rival"
IF they are stated effectively" he
wrote, then only doubt of the sin
certify and ability of the party lead
ership could cause Democratic de-
feat in 1913"
OF the Republican Party, he said
that 1t actually is torn to shreds by
psychological differences"

The search for a role worthy of

What's more she is never going to

lCS T6dOeTS eyes l1TSG lel UPON N. n
Dicks romantic fantasy, THE Ghost
and Mrs. Muir
Quick, like an opportunist, it
bought the screen rights, trans
muted them into celluloid, and sent
the result to Loew's Capitol theater
where the screen version opened
yesterday.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" with
Rex Harrison, Gene Tierney and
George Sanders, however, is only
moderately what readers of the
original novel had a right to expect
Something of its first quality has
been lost as if, with Miss Tierney
playing Mrs. Muir, someone were
fearful lest the ghost be too un-
earthly to deserve her love. The ef-
feet of this has been to force the
poor wrath to play by Hollywood's S
rules instead of the more flexible
ones of his own realm. This should
not happen to a ghost.
II X
AS romance goes, however, the
one dreamed up by Novelist Dick is
fresher than most. There is some
thing lively in the notion OF q
spirited and decorative young widow
faNing in love with a bearded, virile
sea captains spirit. There is also
something a little sad about it in
that such love is destined for
certain Illustrations and left vul-
nerable to the attack of handsome
human philanderers.
These dramatic values are not ex-
actly played to the limit in the pic
ture. The essence of them, to be
blunt about it, is subtle thing and
there is nothing movie makers dis
trust more than the subtle.
Still almost any old courtship be-
tween a pretty girl and rakish
wrath is bound to have its special
flavor and even its high moments.
That in the Capitol's picture is no
exception as Director Joseph L.
MankieWicz knew it would not be.
There is nothing ghostly looking
about Harrison as the dead sea
captain who came back to haunt his
cliff top cottage and was doing a
good job of it until the widow
Muir became it's tenant He is a
healthy, bearded male with a
twinkling eye, an indignant note in
his voice, and wisely cultivated
susceptibility to pretty woman.
The things he misses in his astral
existence are the sea and the
women who loved him, none OF
them, as he says, to their dis
Once Mrs. Muir comes
within his province, things become
more palatable for both of them.
Philip Dunne's screen adaptation
of the novel shows nice enough
feeling for Mrs. Dicks story. 1t
follows the incident of the original
fairly closely and in the main
catches the f1avors of each scene
with reasonable fidelity.
Mrs. Muir's first reaction to
the presence of the ghost is a
squeamishness proper TO a shy, re-
Gently widowed young mother. When
the wrath assures her that he is
perforce a harmless sort and quite
understands women, she not only
accepts his presence but comes to

depend upon it. He is there not
merely to comfort the lonely, stormy
nights which fall upon Gull Cottage,
but, far beyond the province of any
landlord, he is a rescuing angel
when her income stops.
It is at this point that he sug-
gests she should write a book, a
full-flavored book of his memoirs.
Both the nature of the captain s
experiences and his sea-going vo-
cabulary are the kind to give a
gentle widow quite a stir. She does
write the book, however, spectacu-
larly titled thing called Blood and
Swash" which becomes a best seller.
The captain and Mrs. Muir ap-
pear at this point to have settled
down to happy life, but its des-
tined for disruption with the
appearance Of a flesh-and-blood
author played by Sanders Both
are brought literally to their senses
by this meeting, the ghost to his
ghostly ones, Mrs. Muir to her
human ones. The happy ending,
however, is merely threatened.
AS ghosts have a way of doing,
HarriSon's wrath rather runs away
with the picture. His are the moods
that provide it with its best mo-
ments of comedy and even give it
its sharpest dramatic flavor in the
scene in which he concludes that
ghost has no chance against a
human competitor Miss Tierney
seems to have caught the spirit of
the story much less delicately and
Sanders is to be put down as a
piece of miscasting.
Well played bits are to be credited
to VanesSa Brown as the groWn-up
daughter of the widow Muir and
Edna Best as the faithful servant
who has her troubles in that strange
household.
Sue Ryan, a vocalist who proves
the human voice did not die to
whisper with the invention of the
microphone, is the popular head
liner of this weeks stage show. She
is supported most effectively by the
graceful, imaginative dancing of
Richard and Flora Stuart; the pup
pet comedy routine of George
Prentice, and the balancing act OF
the Juvelys which is better than
most of its sort.
A happily added attraction to the
program is the insertion of Orches-
traman Bob Knight and his electric
guitar into the overture.
