STOCKHOLM - A big new
bridge, the "Skansbron." connect
ing the inner city of Stockholm
with its extensive and rapidly
growing southern suburbs was Of
ficially opened to traffic recently
in the presence of about $500 es-

The new "Skansbron, which
stretches over the Hammarby Ship
Canal and the Hammarby Valley,
has total length of 1883 feet and
is los feet high and 112 feet wide.
1t consists of span with a length
of 3S7 feet, while the rest is built
on pillars. The decking accommo-
dates two roadways, each 25 feet
wide, footpaths and cycletracks
and a special 26 foot wide double
track section for tramway lines.
1t has been built by the Swe-
dish company Monberg & Thorsen
to the order of the City of Stock
holm and has cost $780, 900 kro-
nor. The bridge is connected with
an extensive system of approach
roads, including "clover-leaf' con-
structions, which have cost about
5000, 900 kr. The bridge and its
approaches are built Of concrete
and have required 100000 sacks
of cement and 1900 tons of steel

Movie beaf
= ChapLin's 'Verdoux'
IS the best there is
by BOB BENNETT

Monsieur Verdoux," not to
mince any words, is as fine film
as I've seen this-or any other
year.
1t represents a tremendous step
forward in the development of
Charles Chaplin as an artist; it is
biting and brilliantly provoca-
tive analysis of our society.
If you've been wondering why
Chaplin is the favorite target
in season or out-of race haters,
witch hunters, bigots and phony
patriots, this film will give you
the answer.
Chaplin is great artist. His
tools are truth and satire. That
makes him a dangerous man, be-
cause he can rip through the shib-
boleths by which men live to lay
bare the ridiculous contradictions
of society which allows tiny
minority to live in the most lavish
luxury while the great masses,
who make the luxury possible,
exc out a mean, bitter existence
IN HIS previous films, Chaplin
revealed profound understand
ing of society also, but it was on
lower level than that exhibited
in Monsieur Verdoux."
The little man in the baggy
pants, the raffish, battered derby
and the inevitable cane was al
ways being pushed around. He
was the symbol of the little man
everywhere-the little man who
of necessity has to lead with his
chin. The little man, of course,
fought back. But the fight was
always against an amerphous
mass. 1t was a struggle for sur.
vival rather than against any
specific foe.
NV, the fight is no longer
vague Or general-it's against q
society which scantifies mass muir
der and mass robbery, on a large

say and Grouse kept in touch with
the New York and road compan-
les and supplied new key lines
from time to time, to keep the
political comedy pertinent to
events of the day. That will be
harder to do in the movie version,
as individual lines can't be sub
stituted in the final prints. How
ever, Capra claims to have it
licked.
His contract, incidentally, calls
for the film to be out and through
it's general release. before next
Noyember's Presidential election.
This week his entire cast was fl
nally at work On it for the first

Ger Tracy, Van johnson, Angela
Lansbury and Adolphe Menjou.

enough scale, since they are the
very things it lives by, but con-
dennis them on smaller scale.
1T WAS step forward that
only an artist of great courage
and integrity could have made.
After all, it would have been so
easy to continue along the old
lines.
Reviews in both the Sun and
the Tribune attacked the film.
The Tribune takes Chaplin to task
for 'specious reasoning" an cir
reverent attitude" and Ghear.
heard "a basic cynicism'
The Sun gives him the Jumps
because his conclusions are de
featist, negative and have a mol
low ring"

When you attack the beliefs some
men live by, you must expect to

could be further from the truth
than the two so-called reviews
cited. 1t is true, / think, that
Chaplin's conclusion is a pessi-
mistic one. But that is true
only in a very narrow sense.
There is revulsion and contempt
for the forces that move society.
But the film also expresses a
burning social indignation and a
moral fervor that leaves the spec
tator with the antithesis of pes
simiSm-a desire to fight to make
the world better place.
The surface pessimism comes, 1
suppose, from the fact that ssMon-
sieur Verdoux" is tragedy. Chap
lin goes to the guillotine to PAL
for his crimes, but before he goes
significantly, he tells the court
that he has done only what So
ciety praises munition makers and
generals for doing.

pie and extraordinarily complex.
Like all great works of art, it tells
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-11-01

its story on several different levels
simultaneously.
A faithful, earnest bank clerk,
Chaplin is discarded like used
Kleenex during a depression. In
search of ways and means to sup
port his invalid wife and young
son, he takes to marrying and
numbering women with a little
nest-egg as means of livelihood.
But he is never the killer SO
much as he is the efficient, hard
working business man. His satire
on the lover, on the pursuit of
women in a bourgeois society.
ought to make Hollywood the
laughing stock of the world. It's
really brilliant.
In between love affairs, Chap
lin is a devoted husband and
father. His earnings are carefully
invested in the stock market; he
lives in hopes of being able to
make enough to retire one day
with his family. But of course he
doesn't. The market breaks, he is
wiped out and his wife and child
both die.
Finally recognized, he foregoes
an easy chance to escape and
chooses to give himself up.
THE FILM is pretty much all
Chaplin. He produced, wrote and
directed it. He even wrote the
music.
AS an actor, of course, Chaplin
has no peer. One tends to forget
in the forest Of Hollywood leading
men that there is a tree or two.
Chaplin is a joy to watch-and
funnier than ever. He acts not
only with hands and face, but
with his whole body. Every touch,
every gesture is just right. Chap
lin riffling through stack of bank
notes is funnier than so Abbott
and Costello and Ritz brothers
pictures combined.
The supporting cast, too, was
chosen carefully and is excellent
