of the most expensive drawing
rooms Goldwyn-Mayer ever
built, Montgomery turned into one
of the outstanding anarchists
artistically speaking, Of course-in
the movies. His personal revolu-
ton was not an overnight success. It
was full of minor victories and
major defeats over a period Of sew
eral prewar years. But that ulti-
mate victory has been won by the
actor will be proved beyond ques-
ton when Lady in the Lake" is
released.
In that one, he not only plays the
hardest-boiled, most sloppily dressed
character of his carer, but he also
directed the picture with both the
bank account and blessings of the
studio.
The conflict has come full cycle
and Montgomery is precisely In the
position he had in mind when he
started.
It was in the middle 30s that
Montgomery became so fed up with
being charming and clever that he
began to argue vehemently about
his every possible, or prospective,
assignment. His value at the box
office, never less than tremendous,
dictated that the studio should give
him reasonable consideration. 1t
could not fatty say no, at least not
more than half the time, to Mont
gomery's argument that he wanted
to be tough, even murderous, in a
picture.
His first victory in the running
feud came when M-G-M humored
him by buying Emlyn Williams
mystery thriller, a stage hit both
here and in London, Night Must
Fall" The play fascinated Mont
gomery and he wanted the lead in
it. The role of the psychopathic
servant in the house which the
author had played in London was
Montgomery's idea of the perfect
one to emancipate him from any
more mere charm.
His judgment turned out TO De
more correct than even Montgomery
anticipated.
He found himself also virtually
emancipated from his old audience,
which simply could not get through
it's head why any one would want
to make such a radical change in
his life. The reviewers, however,
felt otherwise. They found the
change just about the best thing
that ever happened to leading
man. The studio, therefore, had
the comfort of the reviewers fine,
cheering words to console it for what
happened at the boxofhce.
Another comfort it had in the
bleak figures was the privilege OF
showing them to Montgomery and
pointing out the lesson thereof:
That perhaps he had better do an
other of his former popular type
pictures. He did, but it was no soon
er finished than he came up with
another wonderfully tough idea, the
lead in picture called "The Earl
of Chicago" /
That one not only found most of
the former Montgomery public

of course, the kind that goes over so
well in drawing rooms. The new
kind is tough.

For what? Haven't we got
plenty anti-lynch laws?
All the Anti-Lyneh Laws be-

South where a Negro is concerned.
There's only one way to stop lynch

Lynch the Lynchers.
Oh, | know. you-so-ealled lead

idea, but | know what | am talk

that If or 10 Negroes not afraid
to die had met those dirty towards
at that Jail and proved to them
that the meant business there
would not have been any Lynch

No race, no nation. no individual

as Negroes stand by and see their

We believe Mr.. Moore's advice
to Lynch the Lynchers". may be
echoed and rechoed favorably in
the Northwest. especially among
idlers and those who contribute
little to the serious side of life.
AS youngster We thought the
same way. A tour of the South
convinced us of our folly.
II the failure of the Northwest
Enterprise to advise southern Ne
groes or advocate Lynch the
Lynchers" disqualifies it as a
race herald, our answer is: We
have but one life to barter, dir
ectly or indirectly.
If Negroes could protect them
selves and their homes with the
same ease and facility as south
ern whites. there would be no

A Federal Anti-Lynch Law offers
far more security than that offered
by the states. It's effect would
not, perhaps, be immediate. Sec
uring evidence would rest with
the f. B. l., and juries would no
longer become monstruosities.
