many of its effects, but he inclines
you to forgive it the fault.
Apart from its Moore values, the
Nets comedy has the merit of being
based upon captivating idea, one
much fresher than the run Of such
things lately.
1t revolyes around genteel old
tramp who takes over a Fifth ave-
nue. mansion when its rich owner
goes South for the winter. and who
runs 1t as palatial hostel for his
friends. These latter are distinctly
non-Fifth avenue types and their
behavior in the strange environ
ment at times is funny to behold.
Moore's principal aides in the
antics of the screenplay include
such variously attractive players as
Ann Harding, Gail Starm, Don De-
fore, Charles Ruggles and Grant
Mitchell.
As combination of situation and
character comedy, "It Happened on
Fifth Avenue" is flawed principally
by not knowing when to stop. A
more ruthless editing would not only
have increased its tempo but sharp
ened its favor.
In its resemblance to the Capra
formula, the Nets picture reaches
out for everything. It's chief aim
is to be merry, but it clutches also
at social significance in the form of
veterans problems, at an occasional
musical aside, romance, and the di-
vorce evil which grows out of too
much attention to business and too
little to love. SO many bulges never
were good for fantasy.
Both Moore and his appropriation
of the mansion are funny, however
It is not every elderly tramp with
imagination enough to acquire a
palace which, even though its WIN
dows are boarded up, is wonderfully
stocked with foods, clothing, the
finest wines and the fanciest cigars.
Naturally to 60 with a taste and
genius of this kind, man must
have an engaging philosophy. Moore
does. His inability to resist the
plight of the downtrodden floods the
mansion with underprivileged peo-
pie who fancy him as Lord Bounti-
full in the flesh. He adds these at
an appalling rate, first a veteran
then a pretty debutante who has
run away from school, couple of
veterans, their wives and babies, and
finally the industrial tycoon who
owns the place. The latter comes,
happily enough, in disguise.

reached in the relations of Moore
apd Charles Ruggles, the latter as
the real owner of the mansion who
is forced into the role of a tramp
Ruggles' humiliations in his OWE
home add up to the pictures best
running gag.
Moore has not been so winningIy
cast since the heydey Of his musical
career with Billy Gaxton as his
partner. AS tramp who has made
a masterpiece of his own life, he
naturally assumes complete author
ity over the lives of his guests. In
this department the picture is at its
best for its corps of writers turn
out to be clever types with dialogue
and more inventive than most in
setting their conflicts.
Next to Moore's the performance
that sticks in the mind is that OF
Ruggles as the frustrated tycoon. a
Millionaire who becomes the servant
of his tramp usurper: AS a dish
washer, a snoW-shoveler, potato
peeler and other lower laborer type,
Ruggles is a merry comedy figure.
But he is most laughable of all when
his tramp host treats him as mad
man at such moments as the tycoon
begins to talk his natural big bust
ness vernacular.
Miss Harding as society matron
who willingly goes back to her old
trade of making superb Mulligan
stews is another charming figure in
the Nets comedy. And, as the ro-
mantle leads, Miss Storm and De-
fore have their fleeting moments,
she whatever musical enes come into
the action.

If you have been deluding your
self with the notion that life in the
jungle will not be SO bad when and
If the species blows itself up, snap
out of it. Things there are just as
bad as they are here.
This is the detecting, but lively
lesson taught by ''Tarzan and the
Huntress, y which opened yesterday
at Keith's. True enough, it is free
from the problems of capital and
labor relations, housing, daylight
saving, ETC., but the jungle is no
Utopia. Its politics are dirty, greed
stalks the underground, juvenile
delinquency raises its head, and
even Cheetah, the chimpanzee, goes
on a bender OF vanity that looks
discouragingly human.
If moviegoers cannot keep their
faith in chimpanzees, things have
come to an ugly pass.

u. N. PRELUDE

Jewish leaders here are seriously
considering the question of a unit
ed front before the United Nations
when the Palestine question comes
up It is felt that Jewish unity
is needed now more than ever if
the U. N. is to be convinced that
the Jews are united on the Pales-
tine issue :. Otherwise, the dang
er exists that the u. N. will be
flooded with host of memoranda
from all kinds of Jewish groups.
|. Such a state of affairs would
only create confusion in the minds
of the delegations, and would be
detrimental to the Jewish cause E.
The possibility of all major Jewish
organizations working together on
the Palestine case is now consid-
cred likely as a result of the state
ment by Moshe Shertok in Wash
ington that the Zionists might de-
fer their demand for a Jewish
State if Britain would observe the
terms of the Palestine mandate
The question of maintaining
the mandate is one of the major
points of interest in Zionist circles.
=. The adjustment of the man.
date would be like the expiration
of a contract Britain seems
to be eager to ease out of the
obligations imposed by the man
date and to ask the United Nations
for new terms, if she is to remain
the trustee for Palestine ;. These
terms will require new bargaining
and new efforts on the part o.
the Jews {. . Since present British
policy is more favorable to tn
Arabs than to the Jews, the bar
gaining would be hard and ia
from friendly . That is also on

leaders feel that the best JeWisl

modified to fight the Palestin
case at the U. NJ, and that Zionis
action alone will not be enough

Bevin's Accusations Arouse
All Americans

When Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin of the
British 1mperialistic Empire failed dismally in
handling the Palestine Problem, the Jews of Amer

in the chain of broken promises which the British
Government is well known for keeping"
However, Bevin's very poor reputation took a
decided turn for the worse when he accused the
President Of the United States for being at fault
with the inability of Britain to solve the Palestine
problem. On numerous occasions Bevin spoke

GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT

There will be much discussion
and for a long time-over Laura
q. Hobson's "Gentlemen's Agree
ment" just published by Simon
and Schuster The novel, which
ably exposes social anti-Semitism
in the United States, will make
many non-Jewish liberals blush j..
The book does not deal with the
professional Jew-baiters and their
racket organizations It con-
centrates primarily on those who
claim that they have nothing a.
gainst Jews, and yet a remark
here and a remark there shows
that they are subconsciously diff
Terminating between themselves
and Jews The central figure
is Philip Schuyler Green, maya
zine writer, who is assigned to
write a series of articles on anti
Semitism, aimed at exposing it
Because of the fact that the name
Green could as easily be Jewish
as not, he decides to pose as Jew
and to discover how Jew actually
feels among non-Jews He
shares his decision with his editor
and with the girl he loves, but
keeps it secret from his office asso-
ciates whom he tells that he is
Jewish . It does not take long
for him to discover that even in
his own office-the office of a
liberal publications. Jew is con-
sidered different than others :.
Not to speak of his doctor, who,
taking for granted that Green is
a non-Jew, casts inuendoes on
"Jewish doctors" and feels apollo
getic when Green tells him that
he is a Jew And thus it goes
all along the line in hotels, in re-
sorts. in the apartment buildings
where he resides, at parties, at
dinner tables.
