heroine Of Johnny Frenchman. "
She crosses the Channel to spend
the war bringing all her resources
Of sardonic humor, of French pride,
and womanly dignity. She is vo-
cally a match for any Cornishman,
whether 1t is outsmarting them on
English taxes, or telling them of on
their dietary habits.
Tea," she says, that's what we
drink when we are sick"
"We are DID," she observes. I'VE
think of ourselves as French and
English. Our children know that
they are just people. Good people. !"
It takes lot Of such small talk
and equally small detail to make
the so minutes Of Johnny French
man." There is never any denial
In the writing or the direction Of
the picture that it is quite small,
but quite large with dramatic
meaning.
And, minor though it all seems
to be, it represents ensemble acting
of the kind that moviegoers seldom

each other. When they fall In love
it is the beginning Of the end OF
the old Trevannick-Lanec feud.
Johnny Frenchman" Is pieced
together out of details whose very
smallneSs accounts for their drama
In an emergency, the rival folk
find themselves fishing together; the
French pitching in to help the Eng
lish when the great catch" threat
ems to escape. The English, full OF
neighborliness repay the favor by
visiting Lance on its festival day
They are impressed with the re-
ligious parade, the colorful Breton
garb Of the women.
It Is all as simple as that, even
such a scene as that in which the
Lance fishermen bring home Brit
aims beaten army after the fall OF
France. It is equally real in the
romantic sequences in which French
Jan teaches English Sue the charm
Of French courtship, doubly ex-
citing in contrast to the dull pro-
cedure Of her English suitor.
On his part, Jan learns Of, and
adjusts to, the romantic ways Of
Trevannick. He Is fascinated to
discover that when a man walks
with Cornish girl. he is leading
her. When he visits her home, he
hangs up his hat" And, once he
has gone that far, "he's for it,"
Sue, Of course, is equally for It,
1t takes more time for the village to
become reconciled.

so quite ike real LIE as 10 possess
a special wonder.
Much of the films merit, its
particular charm, must be credited
to FRANCHISE Rosay. Frances great
actress, speaking English, and per-
forming in the precise center of
large otherwise English cast has
rarely been so ingratiating. In en-
ploying her, j. Arthur Rank and his
producing associates showed an al
together admirable taste in women
who represent the best, 1t not the
most glamorous, of their sex.
Johnny Frenchman," which is
as English as Brussels sprouts, has
the flavor Of a documentary. 1t is
the literal and little story of two
fishing villages, one French, one
English, and how they got together
In understanding and affection
after centuries of difference. It
took q war to make this possible,
but the war Is something in the dis
tance, for Johnny Frenchman" is
conspicously peace movie.
Moreover, In its mild way, 1t Is
romantic and full Of an earthly
humor.
Even the photography Of Johnny
Frenchnan" Is dramatically un-
dramatic. It's backgrounds are the
villages Of Trevannick, in Cornwall,
and Lance, in Brittany. The Eng
lish channel which links them to-
gether is also a frequent subject
for the camera. I
The people OF these villages are
fsherfolk. They take their living
from the same water and, like all
competitors, they have fixed notions
Of each others natures. Trevannick's
folk think Lanec's citizens are con-
genial poachers, sly and untrust-
worthy. In Lance, the view Of the
neighboring Cornish Is that they are
the true British bullies, self-right-
eous and stuf1ly moral.
Leaders of the rival groups are
Mile. Rosay and Tom Walls. For
all their professions Of mutual dis
trust, they have sneaking respect
and regard for each other.

Protecting Living Standards

A director oil research for large organization
OF retail stores has said that efforts will be made
to still further lower the overhead costs OF retail
business. in some parts of the country roadside
stores, which can be operated cheapIy are open
ing up. And that, he went on, may be the first
indication of new form Of competition for large
retailing establishments"
The interesting thing about that is the light
it casts Oh the competitive situation in merchan-
dsing. And it shows as well how impossible it is
Tor any kind or store to gain anything approach
ing monopoly. In the days when chain store
taxes were being advocated, the argument was
that they were necessary to keep the Independent
from being squeezed out Of business A Federal
tax Of this nature within an ace of becoming
law. But i: beaten-andJ the Independent kept
on doing business at the same old stand and they
are better of than ever
In retailing, there is always room at the bot
tom for the small operator to gain foothold-
and there's plenty of room, too, in the middle and
at the top for the man who is willing to WORK has
the necessary experience and adequate financing
and knows how to offer the public goods and SER
vices which meet with its approval.
Retailing has done fine job in cutting it's
costs of doing business and it is always looking
for ways and means to do better job still The
or IN the prevention of price increases that would
otherwise occur. That's one way to protect Amer.
living standards
