New Gold Coast
Governor Pledges
Jobs For Natives

Accra Gold Coast, West Africa
(ANP) - Sir Gerald Greasy, the
new governor of the Gold Coast,
arrived from England last week
to take over his duties as COM
mander-i n-chief of this colony.
Gov. Greasy is we'll known in the
Gold Coast where he recently
served as chief secretary of the
West African council and in his
early days worked as a colonial
officers.
The governor was warmly well
coined by the populace and in his
first address at King George V.
Memorial hall after being sworn
in he spoke most encouragingly.
Speaking of Authorization of the
public service, he said:
Certain conditions must, of
course, be met if the quality of
public service is not to suffer,
but | have no hesitation what so
ever in saying that it will be my
policy to fill posts hitherto held
by Europeans with Africans when
ever an African candidate pre-
sents himself such qualifications
as are fully upto the standard
required by the post concerned.
1T must be borne in mind that
there is severe competition for
that a very high standard is re-
quired of candidates. The speed
with which this policy can be
put into effect must largely de-
pend on the facilities which can
be provided to equip Africans
with these qualifications"

~ouidu WllOSt resentment as Delng
by-passed in love is more sur
prising to her than to audiences at
the Metropolitan.
"A Woman's Vengeance" may very
well have been made with the idea
that it would achieve more prestige
than popularity.
Its author is the brilliant Aldous
Huxley, a writer whose medita-
tions on the follies and strange vio-
lences Of the human species have
enjoyed a vogue more intense than
widespread. In this adaptation of
his long short story, THE Gioconda
Smile" 1t is a cool, detached look
he takes at the human heart. 1t
Is a style Of observation that must
seem strange to moviegoers who
have been brought up on passion as
an unbridled thing.
X \ y
Boyer's role in "A Woman's
Vengeance" is in the amorous
groove that he has dominated for
many years. 1t has this difference,
however, that his conquests here
while reaching to the number of
three are destined to failure. His
charm works only up to a certain
point, after which he would have
been much better off If woman had
never been created.
The principal figure in the wryly
humorous, quietly suspenseful yarn
is the woman played by Miss Tandy.
Yet it is the dramatic weakness of
the film that she exists on the
fringe, or somewhat in the back
ground, of the romantic quadrangle.
Boyer's man is an opportunist
Frenchman. AS the story opens, he
is the bored husband of a pretty,
petulant invalid whose jealousy is
as irksome as it is justified. His
attempts to be polite to her are
half-hearted and meet the rebuffs
which they almost deserve.
The husbands escapes from his
dreary home life are the conven-
tional ones, an 18-year-old girl who
