to who is to ask the questions. and
who answer them. That is the way
1t was yesterday right after the

''Do you know about the Jefferson

The Washingtonians he addressed
said they did not know about the
jefferson mounds at the White
House, that maybe once they did,
but had long ago forgotten.
Z. They're the perfect reflection of
Jeffersonian democracy" Quiz-mas-
ter Gotten explained. They're
mounds In the garden which gave
Jefferson privacy when he walked.
He did not want a fence, or a
hedge, or anything like that around
the White House. He felt it was too
like the palaces of Europe, undemo-
cratic-after fashion. SO he
worked out this system of mounds,
slight earthworks thrown up in a
most clever fashion, which permitted
him to walk in the garden with a
kind of half privacy. BY half privacy,
I mean people could see him with
out his being conscious Of the fact
they were looking. Did you ever
hear of anything more Jefer-
sonian?"
Cotten's class composed Of a
couple of interested Waslingtonians
admitted they had not heard of
anything more Je1ersonian.

The members of the cast, especially
Miss Stanwyck, are always on the
go. The trouble is they keep going
to the same places, up and down the
same stairs, into and out of a couple
Of bedrooms, and fitting across the
same balcony on the bedroom level
Of the house.
The emotional relationship be-
tween Miss Stanwyck and Flynn also
accounts for something like move
ment whenever Director Godfrey
feels his tale is slowing down.
There are constant intimations
that their surface antipathy is des-
tined to filter down to quite dulcet
climax. This is the sense of even a
sequence that has a muscularly
Freudian ending when, after a
lingering kiss, Flynn says he was
merely curious and Miss Stanwyck
delivers a sharp right to his hand

II the twinkle in F1ynn's eyes as
he looks at Miss Stanwyck does not
intimate that he is an innocent man
for all Of his pose Of cold-blooded-
ness, the screenscript by Catherine
Turney offers constantly reinforcing
evidence. There is a streak of in
sanity in the Caldwells, the story
hints, and If anyone cannot locate
it, he probably will enjoy "Cry
Wolf" more than any one else.

at the end; In better shape really
than when the rfelodrama opens.
As you probably gather from the
description Of its antique devices,
"Cry Wolf" Is an old-fashioned melo-
drama, redeemed from its mustiness
only by the form-fltting clothes of
its heroine and the Bond street pres
ence Of Enrol Flynn.
1t Is the saga Of one of those rich,
proud families with q blot on the es-
cutcheon that threatens to spread
until 1t reaches the front page. It
overlooks the fact that the front
page is occupied right now by a lot
ivelier material than Warner Bros.
have produced on this occasion.
- II
Marjorie Carleton, who wrote the
original Of Cry Wolf" seems to
have had in mind one of those
narratives designed to relieve the
seductive monotony of lying in a
hammock. One who did not read the
pre-Hollywood tale cannot know for
sure, but Miss Carleton must have
done better job with her principal
male character. AS interpreted by
Flynn in the picture, he seems to
be a fellow Of whom audiences must
never be allowed to think too badly.
There is always about him an aura
OF the sacrif1cial, the chap who can
explain everything at the proper
time. This is an awful way to treat
the suspence that Miss Carleton
must at least have tried to create
when she wrote Cry Wolf"

Howard Hughes
Doesn't Stage
Real Revels
a. s. n SS
By Harold Heffernon

In barber shops and beauty par
lors throughout the land-an points
east Of Los Angeles Main street,
that is-the impression prevails that
a Hollywood party" is something
to pale a Babylonian revel into in
significance. This is hardly the
case. Usually they're much tanner
than the ones tycoons of other in
dustries stage back in thier own
home towns.
Right now; for instance, Howard
Hughes is getting a lot of upde-
served attention because Of the wild
parties he is alleged to have put
on for the purpose of influencing
Government war contracts. If
Congressman and other bigwigs
couldn't dig up any more fun and
excitement than by attending q
Howard Hughes shindig-judging, at
least, by those we know about
their sojourns in Hollywood must
have been dull, indeed.
This is not to say that Hughes
isn't fine entertainer. He's lavish,
in fact, and the drinks are free and
easy. He enjoys having beautiful
women at his parties. But there is
something about sitting around in
room full of Hollywood name
beauties that is disconcerting. They
all look alike. That is because the
makeup men are in a rut. And
as for the bizarre and novel touches,
Hughes parties are decidedly lack
ing. Some one once remarked that
