latest Mason vehicle, which opened
today at the Little Theater. It /.
hardly worth bothering about.
! They Met in the Dark" is dis.
itinctly not one of Mason;s recent
works, although it is being shown fol-
the first time in this country. II
presents him in, of all things, com

romantic young man in pursuit o1
what is f1agrantly one of the dumb
lest girls in the world. He is far less
impressive in such part than when
he treats women as if they were
ELIZA in Uncle Toms Cabin"
(! The best guess as to the cfassifca-
iticn of They Met in the Dark" is
ithat it is romantic comedy with
melodramatic overtones. Only a
Imoron would defend this classifca-
ttion, however, for the reason that

tfusing about movie, although it

TX * * N
In its vague, disjointed way, "They
Met in the Dark" seems to be a
combination spy and love story.
When it opens, Mason is pre-
.sented as British merchant marine
officer who is just being dishonor-
ably discharged for disobeying or
lders. His defense is that he did moth
ing of the kind, that someone slipped
him another set of secret orders and
that he followed these to the letter.
; Once back in civvies, he sets out
TO track down the spy ring that
tricked him and, very probably, is
doing the same thing to others of
11is former pals in the maritime SER
vice.
1t is at this point that They Met
dn the Dark" turns into a comedy.
What happens subsequently Is
much too dizzy for description by
any man with less than an hour and
one-half and seven or eight columns
to play around with. 1t can be said,
however, that it requires the services
of every otherwise unemployed
player in England at the time.
j The one with the most beautiful,
vacant stare is Joyce Howard, who
plays the heroine. In way, she is
quite an inspiration, an outwardly
attractive blond, but otherwise such
an appalling nit-wit that the script
authors did not dare accredit her to
English womanhood. Instead, the
cads make great point of the fact
that she is a Canadian.
It is the English entertainment
scene, wartime version, over which
the multitude of actors wanders in
"They Met in the Dark" Audiences,
therefore, are given glimpses of such
presumably glamorous joints as
theatrical agencies, night clubs, serv-
icemer's dance halls. There are a

Free School Lunches

IN the depression days of 1887 the
government by executive order be-
gan a small, and what was sup
posed to be temporary, benevolence.
A portion of the surplus food the
government was buying and de-
stroying, as a means of helping to
maintain farm prices, was diverted
into lunches for school children.
The lunches we're to be paid for by
those children whose parents could
afford the price, and to be served
free to those children whose par
ents could not pay. Government
dollars were to be matched by the
states, the communities or chari-
tably inclined individuals or organi-
cations.
In 10 years that small, and sup
posedly temporary, benevolence
has grown into big business. For its
operation the agricultural depart
ment asked rs million dollars for
the next fiscal year-a time when
the world has a shortage, not sur
plus, of food, and every one in
America is supposed to have a dan
gerous amount of money.
The country doctor goes when
and where his services are needed
under any conditions. His small fee
is paid if and when it is convenient.
Many a city doctor will go to the
aid of an ailing human if his large
fee is acceptable, and after ar
rangements for its prompt payment
have been made. It is the methods
used by many of the city doctors
that have created much of the urge
for socialized medicine. In the
cities medical skill, in many cases,
has become commercialized, caus-
ing a demand for specialization.
