Anyone who mas asked, what can I do about civil rights? will find a fairly complete answer in the current study of the Public Affairs Committee, Inc.
 In the pamphlet, These Rights Are Ours to Keep" the author Jerome Ellison, proposes pro- gram of action for each person who wants to do something about civil rights.
 The study takes the position that civil rights laws are impor- tant, and that enforcement of civil rights is important, but that the biggest gains must be made in the field of individual practice of the rights the people of the United States so greatly cherish.
 Why Stress Race?
 Why should the boys of the country have to play in a segre- gated marble tournament, for in stance? Why have an al1-Negro marble tourney and an a11-white tourney? why stress race at all?
 These are some questions with which the Public Affairs Committe sounds off. It's pamphlet sum- marizes the report of the Presi- dents Committee on Civil Rights, It agrees with the Committee that the time has come for a nation wide checkup on public and pri- vate practices which infringe, or would destroy, the rights of citi- zens
 The Committee makes no pre- tense at having all the ideas of what people can do to increase the practice of freedoms rights. It offers the following list, merely as d starter:
 As A Worker
 Ask for an antidiscrimination clause in the union contract.
 Promote antidiscrimination com mittees and educational programs in the union and shop.
 Rally fellow workers behind leg islation having to do with civil liberties, write congressman, edi- tors, local office holders.
 Urge a civil rights study by the union, especially the report of the Presidents Committee.
 As An Employer
 Supervise hiring, firing, and promotion procedures so that merit is the only yardstick and workers of every race and creed are treated equally.
 Join businessmen in getting and supporting Federal civil rights measures, especially a fair em- ployment practices act.
 Urge and back up local and state action to improve the practice of civil rights.
 Use every means possible to educate workers to the need of practicing the civil rights code. this means using posters, bulletins boards, house organs.
 Do everything possible to end the practice of inserting racial or religious qualifications in news paper advertisements placed by employment agencies.
 As members of a club or group:
 Get fellow members to read the Presidents report and plan a pro- gram based on the report.
 Work for permanent committee to follow civil rights matters locally and nationally and to formulate club action when needed.
 Urge the club to join with others in educational campaigns, local studies, and special holiday programs high lighting civil lib- critics.
 Ask the club to go on record in favor of specific legislation.
 Professional societies can wipe out discriminatory clauses in their own bylaws and adopt plans to help educate the pubic on the ben ehts of civil rights.

rented, buys her the half of bath
ing suit she needs and proceeds to
fall in love with her. Having mer-
maid about the premises, as you
might expect, complicates his life,
though. No one else ever sees the
mermaid and Mr.. Peabody is con-
sidered slightly off his trolley. Mr..
Peabody doesn't care, of course, since
he sees her and he has taught her
how a kiss can make the f1ippers
vibrate. His wife, however, takes
dim view of what she considers
an undue affection for a fish and

Strengthening things out.
Mr.. Powell plays Mr.. Peabody
deity. He is a man who has, on
occasions in the past, come down
with cuteness when engaged in
whimsy, but he doesn't exhibit any
of it here. He displays a skilled
comedy touch in this impersonation
of a man plagued by the presence
of the mermaid he loves.
Miss Blyth, as the mermaid,
doesn't say word, but no mermaid
who looks like Ann Blyth would
have to talk to be a success on
dry land. Irene Hervey, as Mrs.
Peabody, is good enough to make
you wonder why you haven't been
seeing lot more of her lately. Also,
there's fine delineation of an en-
bittered press agent by Clinton

Wandering Minstrels

By Joy Cormody

S In Morgan and Jack the have
ong minstrel types who apparently going to be kept busy in
a series of comedies called Two Guys From -
The latest the Texas
is
Evening star., 1948-09-03

( In days of old, when knights were
bold and gunpowder wasn't in
vented, the rebels and lords fought
with swords and swung clubs like
men demented'
| They didn't know it at the time,
but these rough battlers were draw
| ing in the background for whole
library of lively adventure fiction.
The latest addition to this is a
new cinema reworking of Robert
Louis Stevenson's THE Black Ar
row." which now is presenting Louis
Hayward on the Metropolitan
screen as the bold knight who bat
ties for honor and the hand OF
the fair maiden, Janet Blair.
The picture follows the formula
for this sort Of thing that probably
was set long before it occurred to
| Stevenson to use it. There is a
pretty girl of high and noble birth.
There is nobleman who has come
I by his castles and his power dis
honestly. There is young man of
noble birth, sWordsman OF talent
and a man of high ideals. The
young girl is in the clutches of the
william and the young man is fu-
gitive in the woods. He employs his
time and energy in derring-do"'
directed toward rescuing her and
getting his case before the proper
authorities so that he can once
more properly call his home his
castle.
Following the formula without
deviation, The Black Arrow" still
has a great deal of merit as SCREEN
plays go. 1t moves. 1t is full of
the rumble of hooves, the clatter of
sword on sword, the whir and thud
of arrows striking home. Louis
Harvard may be no Doug Fair
banks, ST, but he can leap from a
battlement with acceptable elan
and he finds sWordsmen in any
number up to eight (afoot or on
horseback nothing more than a
fair match. He is man Of stanii-
ma. too, as he demqlstrates in the
films rousing climax, jousting
match in which the villain has at
him soundly with lance, sword,
mace and battle-ax.
A man might question whether
the fruits of victory are worth all
the trouble attached to rescuing a
damsel so well-guarded as these
damsels in these castles always are,
but a man would be a cad to do it.
A man would be fool to do it when
the damSel is Janet Blair. Toss off
that fagon of ale, Edgard Buchan-
an, hand down the cross-bow and
let's get through that trap-door in
TO the secret passage. H. M.

ably is compliment to say that his
intrusion is never noticed. If Mr..
johnson and his associates had not
been forced to descend to the pedes-

their picture they might really have
had something here.

The Capitol's stage show head
liner, Peggy Lee, has a voice and
style that probably are as familiar
as those of any popular singer today.
In person, her way with a song is
as fetching as it is on radio or
phonograph. She is supported by
Husband Dave Barbour and his
quintet. Others on the Capitol bill
are Benson and Mann, Lee Noble,

Archer, singing with the Sam Kauf-

The possibility of accidentally
|snagging a beautiful mermaid by
the rudder while trolling for some
thing more conventional probably
has caused great many people to
take up fishing as pastime, if the
truth were to be admitted A pair
of writers named Guy and Con-
stance Jones got to thinking along
these or kindred lines awhile back
and the result was a novel called
"Peabody's Mermaid" The probably
inevitable result of that was a
motion picture called, for reasons
that are among Hollywood's darkest
mysteries, not "Peabody's Mermaid,
but "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid
1t arrived yesterday at the Cap
itol, as the companion piece to a
stage show headlined by the noted
"Manana" girl, Peggy Lee.
"Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid, =
to get right down to blunt facts, is
not 100 per cent success as ses-
sion of cinema whimsy. The sad
truth is that a mermaid is as in
convenient around a movie script
writer's premises as she is around
Mr.. Peabody's. She leaves the
script writer trapped without his
Hollywood happy ending because
you can't marry off a mermaid.
You can't even take one to dinner on
the Shoreham terrace without start
ing lot of silly gossip.
Still, Nunnslly johnson, who filled
the double function of producer and
writer in the filming of Mr.. Pea
body and the Mermaid" has been
about 80 per cent successful in max
ing his picture fun. That is a bet
ter-than-passing grade and higher
mark than a number of recent films
attempting the light touch have
rated.
1t is, for the most part, a funny
jest that Mr.. johnson relates about
Mr.. Peabody (William PoWelD and
his bout with his fiftieth birthday.
Mr.. Peabody goes out fishing one
day. while vacationing on a small
Caribbean island with his wife and,
to his surprise and later embarrass-
ment, snags large denizen of the
deep that turns out to be fish from

there up.
