children of Paradise the lat
est French import at the World
PLAYHOUSE is still another proof
of the fact that American film
makers, for all their technical vir-
tuosity, still have long way to
go before they master the art OF
the film.
I'm not arguing that the French
have completely mastered it. l
don't think they have. But / do
think they've come much closer
to realizing the full potentialities
of the medium than have the great
thinkers on the West coast.
I don't mean to imply that
Hollywood couldn't improve its
product if given the chance. I'm
saying merely that il hasn't.
Economic and moral censorship
of the American movies has. OF
necessity. stimulated technical
advances. After all. if you have
nothing TO say. you have to deck
your inanities in some fancy
trimmings to disguise the fact
that there's nothing behind the
facade.
Children of Paradise" is in
many ways a remarkable movie.
Its story moves along on two lev
els. On one, it is an interesting
and worthwhile picture of the one
little slice of France in the 1840's,
in the reign of Louis PHILIPPE. II
is a study OF the French theatre
of the time, Of the vaudeville
houses and of the pantonime thea
tres. On the other, it is an en-
crossing study in human emotions
What makes the film remark
able is not the story, which is d
trite and oft-told one, but the
performance of the three princi.
pals-Jean-Louis Berrault, as Bap.
tiste, the mime, OF Arletty, a:
Garance the beautiful femme ia
tale, and of Pierre Brasseur, a!
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-10-18

Lemaitre, the great actor.
Barrault is a truly great actor
He has wonderfully mobile ana
expressive face and he knows how
to use his body as an adjunct to
his face. He's not Chaplin yet,
but he's a man who shows evil
dence of having spent many, many
hours studying Chaplin's tech
nique.
Arletty would probably be
somebody's secretary in Holly
wood. She's a middle-aged woman
and not a strikingly beautiful one.
But she's a highly competent act
ress and after you look at her
for a while you forget all about
the fact that she isn't beautiful.
The story is that of the love
of the mime for the woman who.
to use the polite phrase, is no bet
ter than she has to be. There are
several boring sub-plots which
bog down the story every SO often.
Barrault declares his love for
Arletty, but is too shy to stick
around until things are carried to
conclusion. His pal, Brasseur.
takes over and Arletty becomes his
mistress. Barrault's love is. shall
we say, undiminisned. A lot OF
complicating issues result in Ar
lefty finally getting herself in
stalled as the "lady" of a top
drawer count.
Meanwhile, Barrault marries
the daughter of theatre manager,
has a son and is getting along in
fine style. At this point. Arletty
and her count return from abroad
and she comes every night to see
him perform.
They finally meet again, declare
their love for each other and fin
ish what they started years be-
fore. But Barrault's wife doesn't
give up easy. She appears on the
scene and asks hubby to come
home. Arletty sees what would be
best for her lover and scrams out
of his life.
AS say, the story is a theatri.
cal cliche. But the performance:
and the direction clothe the whole
thing with dignity and integrity
and make it real while you are
watching the screen.

Pending Legislation
Holds D. c. Tax Cure,
Civic Association Told

New legislation now pending be-
fore Congress holds the cure for
District tax problems, according to
James r. Kirkland. counsel for
Senate District Committee.
Speaking at the annual dinner of
the Lincoln Civic Association last
night, Mr.. Kirkland discussed the
various proposals for new District
taxation, urging the association to
think over" the different methods
and make Its views known to
Congress.
Mr.. Kirkland said a revised in
come tax law to collect taxes from
all those who are residents Of the
District for more than seven months
OF the year, would be the fairest and
most desirable solution. Such a
law would increase the present tax
returns by between $1,000, 900 and
81 900 900, by adding some 40 900
more persons to the present $4,000
District income tax payers," he told
the gathering.
A new formula for q Federal pay
ment which would be proportionate
to the United States Governments
land holdings here also might help
to ease the pinch on city funds, Mr..
Kirkland said, but such legislation
is less likely to pass Congress at
the present time.
DR.. E. F. Harris, president Of the
Lincoln Civic Association, served as
toastmaster of the dinner, attended
by more than $50 members and their
guests.
