BANK OF DOUGLAS OPENS

Now open at 902 N. Stone is the
Bank of Douglas, a new facility
for Tucson, but no stranger to
banking circles in Arizona.
In 1886, the Bank of Douglas
was founded by William Henry
Brophy, father of the present pres
ident, Frank c. Brophy. 1t has
grown until now it has branches
in Bisbee and Phoenix. The Tue
son office has been opened in rec
ognition of the feeling by the
board of directors that a real need
existed in this community for
their services.
Manager of the Tucson Bank of
Douglas is Colonel M. E. letter
holm, who was Deputy Inspector
General of the Mediterranean
Theater during World War II, who
has many war decorations, includ-
ing the Legion of Merit, Bronze
Star, and many battle participa-
ton stars, along with several deco
rations from Italy. He is vice
president and a director of the
bank.
Assisting him will be James D.
McNabb, well known in local
banking circles, formerly with the
Southern Arizona Bank & Trust
Co. He is the assistant manager
and also assistant cashier.
The Board of Directors, in ad-
dition to Mr.. Brophy and Mr.. Zet-
terholm, consist of George R. Dar-
nell, Max A. Pooler and Frederick
R. Stofft, who also is an army
colonel who served with distinc-
ton during the past war and is
also commanding officer of the
local national guard. He is also
president of the Tucson Chamber
of Commerce.

BBW Monte Carlo
Mite Successful
Good Turnout

A large crowd gathered early at
the spacious patio of the Catalina
Guest Ranch last Sunday to enjoy
an evening of friendly visiting
and cards. In turn B'nai Birth
Women raised approximately $500
to further their various projects.
1t was the first large affair held
by this new organization.
Many persons contributed to its
success according to Mrs. Irving
Ostroy, Monte Carlo chairman.
Special mention is made of Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Bleich, who not
only made the ranch facilities
available, but who helped in nu-
merous ways towards the guests
comfort and who anticipated so
effectively the needs of such a
gathering.
Mrs. Robert Farnum headed the
committee securing donations re-
ceived from Arizona Cigar Co.,
Barabe Bros, City Market, Col
lege Shop, j. C. Damsky, Finer
Made Pickle Co. (Joe Kal), Mrs.
Sarah Gordon, Holsum Bakers,
Rainbow Bakers, Martins Beauty
Shop, Harry Rogers, State Hard
ware and Variety Store, Tammen's
Tables, Tucson Packers, Tucson
Public Market and the Yucatan
Bar.
Leon Steinberg, assisted by Irv-
ing Ostroy, did a most effective
job of setting up an extensive out
door lighting system. Milton
Cherry and Robert Mindell were
parking attendants.
Now with the extreme satisfac-
ton at its accomplishments, BIB
Women look forward to plans for
its Barn Dance in November.

There are many of us who have

biased hotels and resorts. The late

although of Irish parentage, many
times encountered these signs.
George once wired a hotel for
a room reservation. The telegraph
operator misspelled his name
Cohen. Back came a wire from
the hotel: Sorry, we don't take

Aisle seat adventures who
haven't had their fill of derring do
for the year have been granted an
other 60 at it by Columbia Pictures,
which has sent along THE Gallant
Blade" to the Warner. "The Gal
liant Blade" is a swashbuckler from
the hero's cry. "Ride!" 1t is done up
In some of Cinecolor's best tinting
to date and it is full of fast riding,
connivery and slashing dueling.
The chief duelist is Larry Parks,
VINO may have taken up period
sword play In an effort to escape q
generation which was getting ready
to confuse him with AL Jolson. He's
taken it up, anyhow. The period
this time Is 17th century France
and Mr.. Parks plays a Lieut.. David
Picard, ablest swordsman IN all
Gaul.
The plot, you may as well be
warned, may throw us all before we
get very far along with 1t. but
here's a try. There is Gen. Cadeau
George Macready), who wants to
send his. troops home now that
France is. saved. Lieut.. Picard, q
peasant boy who rose from the
ranks, Is his aide. There also Is
Marshall Mordore Victor Jory),
Evening star., 1948-12-03

who wants to have a war with Spain
for some obscure reason; possibly
he got a shipment of cloudy sherry
And, of course, there is a beauteous
damsel, the famed Nanon de Larti-
CUES Marguerite Chapman. You
know Nanon, the bewitching assis-
tant of Marshall Mordore in his
evil affairs. Well, 1t turns out she
isn't that, at all, at heart, but
really is a pushover for social sig
niflcance. Lieut.. Picard delivers q
lecture full of this and she becomes
"one of U.s.
Nanon also comes very close to
being dead for her pains in aiding
the rescue of the general from the
marshalls clutches, but you can be
sure that SO gallant a blade al
Larry Parks and so gallant q studio
as Columbia would never permit
this. So don't sit there through
"The Gallant Blade" worrying over
this dolls life expectancy.
It takes lot of sword play and
some guile to save the girl, the gen.
eral and France, though. The
sound track is full Of the clash OF
steel on steel as Mr.. Parks duels
against odds for the honor of the
three Of them. The sound track
also is full of the clatter Of hooves
and the chatter of impassioned
speech. As a matter Of fact, the
acting Of all concerned is bit or
the impassioned side, too. AL
things considered, The Gallant
Blade" is Just about everything
you'd expect a Cinecolor film about
the greatest swordsman Of 18th cen.
tury France to be.

Thanks largely to a top-notch
comedy performance by keenan,
Wynn, my Dear Secretary" the new
Capitol film, is not as bad as 1t be-
gins to seem before 1t is over. It
begins to seem duller than some-
what by the time Wife-Secretary
Laraine Day and Screwball Writer
Kirk Douglas get down to their last
spat. BY the time MY Dear Sec
retary" has run about two-thirds
of its Zany course in a haphazardly
breathless manner you get the feel
ing that this could 60 on all night,
but without you.
This could be blamed on the fact
that the film loses some of its
wacky qualities about this point in
Difference to the plot and becomes
combination sob story (soap
opera type) and daffy comedy. OIL
and water are a smooth blend COM
pared to this one. Maybe Miss
Day and Mr.. Douglas are not ex-
actly the players to follow the
school of Bobby Clark and the
Marx Brothers and boot the plot
out OF camera range when neces-
sary. MY Dear Secretary" would
have been better If they had done
so, though.
This plot that gets in the way
of the gags has to do with best
selling author who likes his Sec
retaries attractive and friendly and
gives them mink coat bonuses that
do not attest their shorthand speed.
Comes the one played by Miss Day,
who does not like the ground rules,
so he marries her and misunder-
stands her. Want to know any
more?
Director Charles Martin
has come up, with some funny Sc
quences which he uses eXpertly to
obscure all this marital nonsense
large part Of the time. He has
a great deal of help from the above
mentioned Mr.. Wynn, who injects a
lot of laughter by burning shirts
with an iron, setting fire to the
stove with his popovers, and like
nonsense. Florence Bates, Grady
Sutton, Alan Mowbray and some
others add to the fun and the
comedy portions Of Mr.. Martins
script are generally bright.

A Fine. Fat Actor Writes Self
A Fine, Fat Broadway Hit

and he qone IN EDWARD MY son al te

Evening star., 1948-12-03


The arrangement is altogether
wonderful, not merely for Morley
but also for Broadway. Both are
sharing the savory joys Of Edward,
NV Som" which is one of the sea-
sons most attractive dramatic ex-
hibits. It's attraction has nothing
to do with prettiness. The central
character in the play is a man OF
evil works. Morley does not deny
that. Yet this Arnold Holt is also
an engrossing fellow and quite oddly
amusing. 1t is Morley's affirmation
of the latter qualities that makes
him so supremely popular IN the
gallery of dramatic principals now
on display here.
Morley's hero-villain in Edward,
My Son" is great moist owl OF
man, certainly full of dramatic
distinctions. For excessive love OF
his son, he destroys other lives with
q matchless ruthlessness. His wife,
his best friend, his business asso-
ciates, his pretty young mistress
represent 80 many wanton sacri-
fices to this mad affection for his
child. In the end, over a period OF
IS years, the son himself becomes
the ultimate victim Of Arnold Holts
obsession.
This is grim stuff of play-making,
but Morley makes it masterpiece
OF sinister comedy. He is abetted
In this saturnine achievement by
one Of the best casts to be found
anywhere, q few standouts of which
include Ian Hunter, Adrienne Ames,
TORN Thatcher, and Leueen Mac
orath..
As his own author, Morley might
well be the envy Of every actor on
Broadway. The skill with which he
has fashioned Edward, My Son. as
q vehicle for his acting talents Is
enormously impressive. He has en-
ployed every trick, the best of which
is keeping the son Edward an un-
seen character in the drama. This
is effective not merely in its sus-
pense, but more so in making Ed
ward more dramatic as the plays
ultimate sacrifice to the fathers
maniacal love.

He appears first as young father
who lives in a Brighton fiat, a male
parent just mildly abnormal in de-
votion to his infant offspring. He
leaves his job to go into business
A man must have money to educate
and buy social place for his boy
Five years later, he commits his
first criminal act by burning out the
business to collect the insurance.
This is to pay for a direly needed
operation on the lads hip. 1t not

Edwards father a way Of life.
He steals businesses until he be-
comes a tycoon, a great power ir
England's economy, an amazing,
ruthless figure in its society. Sue
cess feeds on evil success. He buys
a school to enslave the master and
teachers who would expel his son,
Edward, for lying, stealing, and the
indulgence of every excess. AS Ed
ward grows, moves from Graingarry
school UP to oxford, Arnold happily
pays for his degeneration, the boys

the girls with whom he gets into
trouble.
He supports the boy at the expense
of all England, most particularly to
the killing cost Of his wife whose
powerlessness to enforce the pattern
of normal parently affection Is the

the end, Arnold Holt is left alone,
the unregenerate amoral man who
leaves it to the audience-quite in.
differently-to decide whether he
has done right.
The sinister fascination Of ed
ward, My Son" is that Morley can
make it a play Of so much surface
gayety and charm. In prologue and
epilogue appearances before the cur
tain, he becomes an intimate of the
audience, an evil man with an ir-
resistibly roguish quality in his ab-
normality. This calls for an amaz-
ing kind of dexterity in the creation

Navy Denies Bombing

BY fhe Asseciotsd Press


A chorus Of official denials today
met a report that an Air Force
plane had mistakenly bombed the
American submarine Carp on the
California coast.
Representative Scott, Republican,
Of Pennsylvania told the House yes
terday he understood the incident
occurred about two months ago and
that so of the submarines crew
had been hospitalized as result.
But the Navy quickly denied the
story.
This is absolutely not so," said
Vice Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
vice chief Of naval operations.
Air Force officials joined in the
denial. They said their planes do
not even carry out antisubmarine
patrols, because that task was as
signed to the Navy after the armed
forces unif1cation.
Mr.. Scott, told the Navy had
denied the story. said that "if it
didn't happen I'll be delighted to
know it"
The Pennsylvania told the House
yesterday he got the information
from a newspaper editor who said
he had received signed statement
from sailor claiming to have been
one of the so hospitalized crewmen.
Navy officials said they checked
such an account some time ago and
found it to be only tall tale which
a sailor aboard the Carp had writ
ten to his family.

2-to-1 against confirmation, to in

later. But no date was set for
making the report.
1t was learned authoritatively that
the move was to prevent a fiat turn

Administration of the District Ma
tional Guard took another beating
at the hands of the Senate COM
mittee. The House already had
knocked $4,000 of its operation
funds, cutting them from $115,000
to sos, 200. The Senate sliced an
additional $4,000 off the total,
which nevertheless left it still s16,-
600 above 1948 appropriations.
The Senate report pointedly di-
rects the commanding general of
the Guard "to stay within the sum
recommended" 1t had been charged
on the House side that the Guard
had violated the anti i-deficiency law
by incurring deficiency not
authorized by Congress.
In addition the Senate report
directed the National Guard to
return to the Army Immediately a
boat it discovered had been provided
for the Guard. The committee said
the adjutant general of the Guard.
Col. Peyton G. Nevitt, had informed
the committee he did not know

Auditor Fight Revived.
The Senate committee report re-
wives the old fight over the House
proposal to give controlling author
ity to District Auditor Arthur r.
Pilkerton over disbursement OF ap-
propriated sums. The House had
written into the bill provisions to
strengthen the authority of the
auditor. The Senate committee
knocked them out.
The Senate bill adds an additional
SIS 900 for the purchase of sites for
new fire engine houses at two points:
In the vicinity of Forty ninth and
East Capitol streets and near
Twenty-fourth and Irving streets
Sc. This was needed because of
increased cost Of the site, for which
current appropriations provide STA
900.
In the general appropriation for
the Fire Department, the Senate bill
calls for a decrease of $4,000 from
the House grant of So, ,7O3 900, direct
ing that this be- absorbed in the
purchase Of equipment.
The Senate bill knocks out all but
one of the nine additional positions
for the Public Library provided in
the House bill by making $4,000
cut The one new position would be
for a collector of overdue books.
Red Rider" Eliminated.
In keeping with the policy deci-
sion already made by the House and
Senate, the committee struck from
the bill the Red rider" prohibiting
expenditure ofaany funds for pay
ment of salaries to any District
employe who is member of a labor
organization whose officers have not
signed the Communist oath
provided in the Taft-Hartley Act.
The bill still prohibits use of the
funds for salaries to any District
employe who strikes against the
Government or Is a member of an
organization which advocates the
overthrow of the United States
Government.

mated $4,000 the House proposed for
continuation of the reclamation Of
