Anyone thinking that the increas-
ed number of people reading in pub
lie Libraries is encouraging, may, get
a rude shock from the report of the
American Library Association. This
report agrees that more and more
people are in the libraries-but the
reasons for this, it goes on, is that
they are there 70 take advantage of
the Libraries, heating systtm and to
escape from in-laws. A bright sec
ton of the report might be that stat
ing that more American history and
biography are being read-but no
this reading is being done mainly,
says the report, by persons who are
trying to find a clue as to who Miss
Hush is or some other radio mys-
terry. | am afraid we cannot class u
librarians among the optimists.
One of the least known parts of
Manhattan is upper Broadway. This
! street extends for almost 800 blocks
and not long ago had a little farm
adjacent to it. / have often walked
along the upper stretches, once to
find the second statue of liberty
which stands upon a building near
60th Street. Last week this statue
was a joke. Right beneath it, a man
went berserk and shot several boys,
killing n of them instantly. He said
he hated those of a certain kind of
religion. We talk of being civilized,
Of being cultured. Yet such events
and the increasing talk of war in
dictate that not far beneath the sur
face of our worlds humans still lies
the primitive, uncontrolled man. The
Indians from whom we wrested this
country and whom we called savages
might be ashamed of the way VIC
act in the land that they let us have.
/ wonder if they would be proud of
some of the new Americans?

Am l in the dog house? That is a
question to which a number of New
Workers r trying to find the an
swer. Reason for the confusion lies
in the proposal made recently to con-
slider any place in which three or
more dogs are harbored, a kennel. 1t
seems that some local residents have
been keeping several dogs in their
apartments or houses, and now and
then, these CANNES have been pretty
rough on the neighborhood children.
So the city authorities are trying
to remedy this situation by cutting
down the number of dogs allowed
in any one habitat, thus eliminating
packs. Many dog owners have SOU
awked, some have howled some even
sounded as if they were barking. The
results: it is still not decided what is
a human domicile and what is a dog
house.

Stock Market Closes
Very Dull Week With
Modest Recoveries
By Victor Eubonk

W -OE--, -. Ct .tcch
market today finished another one
of the slow weeks of the past sew
eral years with modest recoveries
predominating in most departments.
Aircrafts came to life in the short
proceedings on revived hopes for
big Government orders. Amuse-
ments again were buoyed by the
possibility the British film tax might
be compromised.
Steels did virtually nothing Mo-
tors, rails, oils, mail orders and rub
bers held to a slim groove through
out the two-hour stretch.
AS during the aweek, some pro-
fessional short covering and other
buying was attributed to the belief
any turn for the better in the news
would bring a good rally Selling
from Monday on was attributed
partly to persistent bearishness
over the international picture, busi-
ness, wages and taxes.
Average Up Slightly.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was up 2 Of a point at
61.6 and on the week showed net
gain of 6 of point, widest come
back since the final week of Janu-
ary. It was one of the usual mar

in turn, was a bottom since last

Monday Was Best Day.
The big board had its best day
Monday on 10000 shares with rails
and aviations in the lead. Helpful
to the latter were the recommended
tions for large-scale outlays for
planes made by the joint congress
sional Air Policy Board. Strong
grains and staples gave a shot in
the arm to infationary psychology.

Cliff, the new male sensation of
the screen, acquits himself superbly
in the hero role in Red River"
He is a perfect composite of the
rugged qualities and the lethal
skills demanded for frontier sur
vival. His margin over Wayne lies
in his possession of human
warmth which the latter lacks, but
which does not keep the latter's
acting from being just about the
best he has ever done.
1t is one of the great virtues of
Red River" that many of the
lesser characters are built and act
ed with the same care and skill
lavished upon the principal figures
in the story. It is a splendid thing,
for instance, that John ireland
makes of a proud, ferocious young
frontiersman who is the match of
either Dunson or his foster son and
who fights a whale of battle be-
fore he chooses between them. Wal
ter Brennan turns in another of
those winsomely grotesque imita-
tions of a range cook, and Noah
Beery, jr., the two Harry Careys
and several others also contribute
notably to the film. y
The girls, Joanne Dru and Colleen
Gray, have little actually to do, but
they provide small, lovely human
contrast to the majestic beauty of
Texas.

pictures drama are majestically
summed up in great cattle drive
g 900 head over the Chisholm
trail, but Red River" is the story
Of men, not of steers.
Two men, quiet monosyllabic .fel-
lows, dominate the enormous, bel
lowing panorama of Red River"
Senior Of these is Dunson, played
by Wayne. Cliff is the junior part
ner. They are part of a great wagon
train bound for California. Dunson,
by intention, breaks away to cattle
farm in Texas. The boy joins him
after escaping an Indian raid.
This is disposed of quickly in the
films dramatic exposition, after
which the story settles down to the
first great cattle drive over the
Chisholm trail.
This is an adventure throbbing
with conflict, the essence of which
lies in the difference between Dun
son and the boy. The former is a
man obsessed by the single idea
of raising and selling cattle. His
code is harsh and brutal and he
is prepared to enforce 1t with the
next quickest trigger finger in
Texas. The quickest belongs to the
boy Dunson reared as his son,
whose human code is softer but
whose nature Is equally made of
iron.
The eternal question between
them is how long they can go with
out having to shoot out the differ
ence in their attitudes toward life
and men. 1t becomes downright
hair raising before Red River" Is
many minutes old, and it remains
| that way through mass of spine
tingling incident for more than
two hours.
The supreme test of Hawks
genius as a film maker is the su-
perb balance he maintains between
the spectacle of the cattle drive
and the human drama which it
inspires. Week after week, he keeps
his cattle moving in sweltering heat
and tempestuous rain, across
scorched plains and treacherous
rivers Always the human drama
keeps pace and maintains its pro-
portionate size.
The climax Of the human con-
f1ict Is reached when Dunson's cold,
single track mind sentences two
deserters from his cowboy ranks to
death only to have them saved by
the foster son who wounds the
older man and seizes the herd. They
part with the icy Dunson's threat
to catch up with the drive before
it is concluded and his VOW to kill
the youngster on this future fateful
day. On this threat the film rides
to a terrific climax that turns out,
in its final phase, to be less than
promised.
Red River" makes a minimum
concession, but nevertheless a con-
cession, to the Hollywood romantic
formula. 1t makes room for only
two brief performances by beautiful
girls representing pioneer woman's

goes to show how good the movies
can be. It speaks of time when
men were men and Texas was a
frontier, and the tone in its voice
puts a fine chill in the blood and a
joyous jump in the heart. 1t fills
one again with a sense that this is
what America Is made of and that,
come to think Of it, it is very good.
There Is some corking acting in
"Red River" most of it in the exalt-
ing outdoors of Texas. This is the
work of a cast headed by John
Wayne and young Montgomery Cliff,
and it is all to the good except for
an ending that is beyond even such
fine players as these. This ending
is not as good as the rest of Red
River" but the rest of it is dramatic
enough to survive its effect.
Hawks feeling for the colossal in
primitive America is superbly COM
municated in Red River" In Bor-
den Chase's story, The Chisholm
TRAIL" he caught the grandeur of
frontier vision, the spirit that en-
abled Thomas Dunson to set up
mammoth cattle industry from a
start that involved one blunt-noSed
bull and a couple of trail-tired
heifers. Dunson's triumph and the

Male Boards Urged
By June Havoc and
The Males Respond
BY fhe Associated Press


June Havoc married q beard.
Consequently, she likes 'em, and she
considers herself an authority, too.
Boards are mans natural adorn-
ment," she declared. AFTER all, men
and women are attracted because
they're different"
She also advocates boards as a
matter of comfort-for male and
female alike.
Three hours after man shaves,
his face is much rougher than a
full n-grown beard. You can't ex-
pect a man to shave every three
hours"
June met her husband, William
Spier, when he had-a beard, and
she says they've lived happily ever
after. She thinks all male movie
stars should have boards.
Macdonald Carey, for instance,
Is q wonderful fellow and a fine
actor, but I told him he didn't have
any sex appeal until he grew a
beard for his current picture, Mask
for Lucretia.' told Alan Ladd, too,
that he ought to grow a beard and
he rushed right over to the 'Lucre-
tia set to look at the men who are
wearing them"

ings. These are not many or serious,
anyhow, being confined principally
to some loose and languishing con-
struction and some English subtitles
that are as foolish as the average.
Once you overcome boredom
brought on by the pictures early
dawdling, you will be rewarded by a
tongue-in-cheek Gallo jest and by
the rare antics Of a posse of French
gamins who are as knowing a set
OF innocents as you are likely to
meet. When this pack of cagey
young attacks a problem, neither
the law nor a covetous villain stands
a chance of stopping them.
. Their problem, in Portrait of
Innocence" is the raising of 1900
francs to buy a new stained glass
window for their school. The lad
who had the misfortune and poor
aim which led him to boot a soccer
ball through it apparently can be
saved from reform school only by
a joint effort of his cronies.
Director Louis Daquin and Writ
ers Hilero and CASTOR Modot have
endowed this Embarrassing project
with great deal of that high
comedy which always is described
with a cliche, because it is typically
French and that's all there is to it.
There's a fine typical sequence
wherein young man takes ham
mer to his piggy bank, explaining
to his younger brothers that that's
the proper way to get money. You
know what happens to all the
chinaware within their reach. Also
