Devotees of the western film who
hold hard to their faith in tradition
will not be made any too happy by
"The Angel and the Badman,"
which opened yesterday at the
Metropolitan. There's too little
shootin' and too much smoochln.
The Aim is a most agreeable COM
edy, though. It may even be a sat
ire on the pictures the studio usually
turns out that Director James Ed
ward Grant has made for Republic
from his own screenplay. Certainly
you never would expect to take too
seriously a motion picture In which
the principal characters are named
Quirt Evans, Prudence Worth, La
redo Stevens and Wistful McClin-
took. Those names just seem to
have the ring of burlesque.
It was Mr.. Grants notion when
he sat down to write his screenplay
that it might turn out to be funny
If a badman of the old West en-
countered a quaker family living
its faith in pacif1sm among the fly
ing bullets Of the frontier. Well,
Quirt (John Wayne) is the bad
man; not bad, perhaps, but unruly
and accustomed to shooting back
when some one shoots at him, or
even getting the draw. After gun
battle, he is nursed back to health
by the Quaker family. He Is, as you
might expect, greatly disconnected
upon regaining consciousness, to
find himself among people who feel
that the doer of an evil deed is the
only one injured by it. He goes right
up to the final fadeout convinced
that a slam over the head with a
branding iron will hurt the slammee
as we'll as the slammer.
Quirt also Is disconnected upon
awakening when he finds that Pru-
dence Gail RusselD, the Quaker
daughter, has fallen in love with
him. Practicing, by her faith, no
deceptions, she comes right out and
tells him so, when his only thought
is to find his ammunition and be
off after Laredo, the villain Of the
piece. 1.-THE Angel and the Bad
man" comes off amusingly most OF
the time. And Director Grant has
injected enough action to satisfy
all but the traditionalists- including
a rousing barroom brawl, and some
hard riding and good and bad shoot
ing. The brawl is a tip-of that Mr..
Grant is kidding about the whole
thing, the hero and his buddy being
tossed through the doors, the losers.
The cast supporting Miss Russell
and Mr.. Wayne, including Harry
Carey, Irene Rich, Lee Dixon, Tom
Powers and Bruce Cabot, performs
expertly, as you would expect.

Heiresses hardly can wait to share
their wealth with the sons OF toll,
and any Russian who says other
wise is-not a son of toll.
Although it is being shown at the
Earle, THAT Way With Women
creates the vague feeling that 1t
must really have been made for the
Russians. Certainly every American
moviegoer has seen it before, and
before, and before. The only marked
difference is that the heiress and
the filing station chap are differ
ent, being Martha Vickers and Dane
Clark, instead of all those others.
Warner Bros. who probably are
only obeying a convention OF the
trade, put the accent on this stormi-
ly loving couple, but there is reason
to assume this was an afterthought
on THAT Way With Women" )"
The picture appears to have started
out as a vehicle for Sydney Green
street, the elderly, fat and talented
actor. He is all over the screen be-
ing as roguish and human as he
usually is urbane and evil. It Is
Evening star., 1947-03-21
THE CAST,

such a pleasant change of charac-
ter for Greenstreet that it seems
too bad it could not have been made
to something fresher than THAT
ay With Women"
Leo Townsend's screenplay, to
which Francis Swami is credited
with having added dialogue, Is
hodge-podge OF the hackneyed.
1t starts with j. P. Alden, a re-
tired automobile tycoon living in one
of those walled palaces in Pasadena.
Instead of appreciating this para
disc like true Pasadenan, he be-
comes so desperate with inactivity
that he buys his way into a filing
station partnership. This is un-
known to his family, most especially
to the pretty daughter who Is having
a Freudian feud with the young man
who is pops partner.
This situation leads to a lot OF
bogus, faxed and mistaken Identities
which raises the number OF such on
which Hollywood has traded to
roughly a billion. A billion is too
many of anything except dollars,
but most especially mistaken movie
identities.
Whatever of comedy merit is
plucked9 from the script OF That
Way With Women" is principally
the work of Greenstreet. An old fox
he is, going around filling people S
gas tanks while owning the control
ling interest in Alden motors; kid
ding his family about where he
spends his time, and decelvlng MS
partner as to who he really Is.
Because he is a skilled craftsman,
Greenstreet makes this look anus
ing, but not often enough or long
enough to lift the Earle's screenplay
out of the semilistless class.
Another performer in the cast
who reverses his usual role IS Clark.
1t is seldom that Warmers give him
fling at light romance, at
least as much light-hearted romance
as young men who hate the upper
classes are able to enjoy. Clark
intimates that this sort OF work is
by no means beyond him when the
writer's and Director Frederick de
Cordova are inventive enough to put
him to a genuine test. They are
that inventive only for fleeting sec.
onds in THAT Way With Women"
Miss Vickers, whose opening
speech and first custume both say,
"I have pretty legs" carries the
feminine burden of the Earle's Jest
pretty much alone.
AS a specimen Of heiresses who
share their wealth with filing sta
ton workers, she should convert a
lot of Russians to this kind OF de-
mocracy.
If, of course, as we say, the Rus
SLAMS have the courage to look at the
picture with an open mind.
Americans probably won't.

Apparently feeling that q poor
excuse is better than none, the
boys out at Paramount have rigged
up an affair called Ladies Man
as an excuse to put Eddie Bracken
Cass Daley, Johnny Coy and Spike
Jones to work. It is at the Capitol
now for the edification Of all ad-
mirers of Miss Daley and Mr.. Jones
and his City Slickers. Admirers OF
Mr.. Bracken probably will be sad
dened at the torment he has been
put through by the script writer's.
The film is a bit like that man
who leaped on his horse and rode
of in all directions. The story starts
out to be sort of comedy about
an Oklahoma yokel who stumbles
on oil and wealth and sets out fol
New York to see Grants Tomb and
the subway. It pauses somewhere
along near midway and appears
about to become a satire on radio
giveaway shows, but soon gives up
that idea. Finally, it just sort OF
collapses quietly to become mere
rack on which specially numbers
are hung.
It's an inoffensive sort Of thing,
though, and a few laughs do pop
up, despite the tagging pace. Most
of them stem from Mr.. Bracken's S
portrait of the yokel at large in the
big city and from Miss Daley's
raucous singing Of I'm AS Ready
AS I'll Ever Be" Cor something like
that and, a la Carmen Miranda,
Mama Yo Quero." For those who
like THAT sort Of thing, the City
Slickers lay vigorous and noisy

The whole problem of what to de

of the knottiest tackled by Allied
headquarters. Most of the invest
ments were sold compulsorily and
bought by japanese and often re-
sold many times.
Some investors may seek re-
compense in yen for their interests,
but others are expected to reassert
their control and go back into bus
mess in Japan in a big way.
Meanwhile, general loosening
Of restrictions Of quotas of traders
entering Japan and the length Of

Allied headquarters are explor-
ing the possibility of removing all

Japan Urged
To GO Slow
On Pact Aims

TOKYO, Dec. PA high Ameri-
can Official gave certain Japanese
bureaucrats a go slow" warning
Friday on their rather brash peace
treaty aims.
The Americans warning was
prompted by a document which
was believed to have been prepared
In the Japanese foreign office and
which asked for return to Japan
Of the Russian occupied Kurile
islands and the u. S.-occupied Ryu-
kyu (Okinawa) island.
The statement also asked for
merely nominal Allied occupation.
The American official told news
men:
The Japanese will be heard at
the peace treaty conference, but
they are not going to be permitted
to negotiate In any sense. The Al
lies are going to dictate the peace
terms"
The Japanese document was be-
heved to be in the nature Of a trial
balloon" to test the attitude of Al
lied officials.

Money Lost in Local Traffic Mishaps
Would Buy Bridge Every Years,
Declares Seattle Safety Council

Money lost annually in Seattle
traffic accidents would buy the
equivalent of a new Lake Washing
ton Floating Bridge every two years
The Seattle Safety Council in its
final tabulation Of accident Stats
tics for 1916, today reported traffic
nishaps cost Seattle citizens
s5,132,6 obstruction costs of the
Floating Bridge totallcd $9,816,049.
Seattle had 81 traffic fatalities
and 13,485 traffic accidents Of all
types last year. Throughout the
,, country there were $500 fatal
ties and more than six million
recorded accidents The ma.
tional automobile accident bill was
S2.2O0.OO0,OOO.
On a population basis Seattle's
accident loss was below the nation
al rate. If the Seattle accident rate
was as high as that of the rest of
the country the total accident cost
would have been $7,600,000. The
fatality rate here in 1916 was two
thirds the national average and
traffic accidents of all types were
6196 of the normal total for city
this size.
Former Traffic Judge James w.
Hodson, president of the Seattle
Safety Council, urged Seattle drivers
and pedestrians not to become COM
placent because of the relatively
good standing of the city compared
to other communities. He said to-
day the loss of life and property
here, although less than the nation
al rate, was an unnecessary sacri-
flee to carelessness.
Speaking of traffic conditions this
year Hodson declared: 80 far in
1947 the number of fatal accidents
is well below that for 1916, but
right now is the most dangerous
time of the year. We want everyone
to join the Careful Days campaign
