An appeal for a memorial fund
to be named after the late Mrs.
Elsa Brandstrom-Ulich, interna-
tionally famous Swedish social
service worker, who died in Cam
bridge, Mass, on March 4, has
been issued by Prince Carl, bro
Their of King Gustaf and honorary
chairman of the Swedish Red
Cross, and Nils Goude, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Swedish European Relief Organ
ization. The appeal states that
the memory of Elsa Brandstrom'
work for the prisoners of war in
Siberia during and after the First
World War, for orphaned children,
and for youth in need. will never
be forgotten, and that there must
be many people who now wish to
pay tribute to her life's work. The
fund will be used to help children
and young people, irrespective of
nationality, according to the prin-
ciples which guided Elsa BRAND
strom in her work.

News In Brief:

Some forty officers from various
Swedish military staffs and war
academies have just concluded
course in strategy, directed by Col.
Nils Swedlund, Chief of the De-
tense Staff. In a newspaper inter-
view, Col. Swedlund states that
the course proved the real need for
a National Defense Academy the
object of which would be to study
the Swedish defense problem from
all aspects, and also to train Of
ficers in planning and command
ing defense forces under varying
conditions. Such courses would,
obviously, not be intended for mill
tary personnel only. Representa-
tives of the Civilian Defense Ad-
ministration, as well as industry
and science would also find such
training valuable. Col. Swedlund
adds that he intends to submit a
proposal to this effect later on.

report will have the effect OF board

But Gerhard P. Van Arkel, attor-

Mr.. Meyers held that seven locals

He also said the locals and the
international union had violated the

Mr.. Meyers took exception to

TO play Dumas Constance: finer
SWaSh- -buckler than Van Heflin fol
the redoubtable Athos; a more sim
iSter actor than Vincent Price to
be the guileful Richelieu; or a wo-
man better built to play Queen
Anne than the stately, yet seductive
Angela Lansbury?
Once assembled, arrayed so gor-
geouSly and made familiar with the
huge, brilliant landscape, these and
others of Director Sidney's players
were instructed to cut loose. 1t was
made clear to them that no gesture
of love, or death, or guile, or any
other facet of life could be toe
big for this occasion Nor could
the tempo be too break-neck.
Unalloyed entertainment is the
goal toward which their pretty
noses are pointed, and off they &C
like mad. Two gay hours it takes
them to get to the pictures destina-
ton, but no two hours were ever
more handsomely spent, or happily
wasted.
The sum total of energy spent
in acting this version of Dumas
old adventure is equivalent to that
used in winning major battle in
the reign of Louis XIII. The only
passages in which the pace slackens
perceptibly are those in which Miss
Turner as Lady De Winter under.
takes to wind her sinuous self
around D'Artagnan's heart.
Otherwise, from the time the
GaScon Kelly bids adieu to his
father until he sobs farewell to the
fragile Constance and helps Athos
dispose of the faithleSs Lady d.
Winter, life is a wonderful uproar
1t would take a man with instru-
ments to count the number of duels
sword and romantic, that are fought
before the Musketeers retire to
private life. And, while the mar
with instruments was keeping them
at work, he would miss far more
dramatic things.
The best of these, at least the
merely life-size ones, is Kelley's
version Of D'Artagnan, an actor
who could clearly give the older
Fairbanks lessons in swordsman-
ship, the art Of scaling palace walls
swinging on royal chandeliers, ano
sliding along country inn tables
like something shot out of a cata.

been made once more on the sound
assumption that the actor never
lived who could over-act Alexander
Dumas.
Certainly this is true of the latest
DArtagnan, who finds one Of his
most recklessly graceful interpreters
in Gene Kelly, who has the time of
his life playing the greatest ro-
mancer in French fiction.
The Three Musketeers" is all
movie, which is whale of lot of
movie. For once, the widest exag-
geration becomes a fundamental
part of the fun, and even Lana
Turner's bold impersonation of
Lady De Winter resembles plausible
carricature.
Against a background of Louis
Kills France, Director George
Sidney evidently is trying to make
you sorry you did not live in that
period of human history. True, life
was violent and hazardous, but it
was exciting-and not on mass or
class basis as it is today. Its drama
was of personal size, reckless rogue
mixed up with a royal courtesan,
with each playing the game to the
hilt and a kingdom hanging on the
outcome.
AS D'Artagnan, Kelly is the actor
asked to dominate this opulent
stretch of Technicolored real estate
on which human emotions blaze
with the brilliance of secondary
suns.
Truly, Gascony never had
worthier son. Kelly's background
of athletics, acrobatics, and dancing
singularly qualities him for the ap-
palling dynamics Of being D'Artag-
nan. With sword in his hand, he
is the laughing, leering match for
any man in Louis kingdom, and
just as easily, those across the
Channel in England. And, without
his sword, he is equally the match
of any crafty beauty in the court.

Winter whose flashing eyes and
heaving bosom bespeak the energy
of an earthquake.
These represent merely the be-
ginning of Metros largesse in cast

Island Cattle Raiser
Charged in Death Of
Philadelphia Socialitt
by the Assoeioisd Press

BEAUFORT, S. c., Dec. A.
Sheriff j. E. McTeer said today Vic
tor F. Strojny, 36, an island cattle
raiser, had been charged with mur-
der in connection with the death
of william Moseley Swain, also So,
Philadelphia socialite.
Mr.. Swain received head injuries
at his plantation, "Belfair." Thurs
day night and died yesterday in
the Ridgeland Hospital. His skull
had been fractured.
Mr.. Swain was the great-grand-
son Of the founder of the Philadel-
phia Ledger. His grandfather
founded the Philadelphia Record
Mrs. Swain is the former Miss
Frederika Cunningham of Sa-
vannah, Ga.
Causes Undetermined
Strojny was held, the sheriff
said, on recommendation of a coro-
ner's jury. The jury's verdict said
the fractures were inflicted by
causes undetermined" and recon-
mended that Strojny's connection
with the case be fully investigated
Strojny, who moved to Callawassie
Island, from New Jersey several
years ago, told the jury that he,
MIR. Swain and Mrs. Swain had some
drinks at Belfair on Thursday night.
The accused said that as he was
leaving by way of the basement
steps that led to the Swain garage,
he heard a fall and saw Mr.. Swain
lying in a pool of blood.
Ran for Help.
He said he was unable to arouse
Mrs. Swain, who had retired short
while before, so he ran to the home
of the Rudy earns, who live on the
plantation. They returned with him,
placed blankets on Mr.. Swain and
were still unable to arouse Mrs.
Swain, he continued. Then, he said
he sped to an oyster plant several
miles away, couldn't get a doctor
and ordered an ambulance from
Ridgeland.
Strojny said that he then sta
toned himself at the plantation gate
to direct the ambulance, but fell
asleep and didn't awaken until after
the ambulance left. He then went
home, he testified.
Additional testimony by Strojny
revealed that he had met Mr.. Swain
at Bluffton earlier in the day and
MIR. Swain had paid him an account
and offered to buy him a drink.
Strojny, who did some automobile
repair work in addition to raising
cattle, said he refused but told Mr..
Swain he would call on him that
night for it.
Blow on Back Of Head.
DR.. T. B. Carroll of Hardeeville
testified Mr.. Swain's scalp showed
he had suffered a blow on the back
of the head which had fractured
the skull.
Mrs. Swain told the jury, holding
the inquest at the foot of the steps
where her husband was injured,
that she retired about 80 minutes
before the incident. She added she
was awakened later by Mrs. earn.
At that time, she said, the ambu-

that the city council cannot leg
