'Nesters' Conquer
Cattleman Again

The homesteaders and the cat
tlemen fight 1t out once more n
stampede" which opened at the
Metropolitan yesterday. As they
have been doing virtually every
other week since the movie cam
era was invented. The battle ends
as it always has. with the home
steaders winning.
The single effort to introduce
a new note into stampede" Is to
make the fights between the rival
parties more deadly than they
have been in the past. In one OF
these, Rod Cameron, a kind OF
half -hero-half-villain on this oc-
casion, wrecks a barn before he
subdues his rival. Wrecking a
barn with your bare fists is some
thing you may not have seen.
Among the others who get
bumped around before law and
love conquer all are Gale Storm,
the sassy heroine. Johnny Mack
Brown, Don Castle, and a few
more who have been on Mono
gram Pictures first team for sew
eral years.

By Harry Macarthur

A motion picture about a foot
ball coach whose team loses all its
games instead of winning them in
the last 20 seconds of play merits
some attention for its novelty
alone. In Father Was a Full
back" the new film at the Capitol,
the unhappy coach is made a fine
figure of comedy as played by
Fred MacMurray.
A scoreless football squad is not
the only worry besetting MacMur-
rays man. He also has daugh-
ters. One is a high school girl In
the melodramatic stage of ap-
preaching womanhood. The other
is brash and knowing youngster
on the verge of adolescence. With
out such an understanding wife as
Mareen O'Hara indicates. a man
in MacMurray's shoes might
easily 60 berserk.
It took four writers-Allen Les
lie, Casey Robinson, Mary Loos
and Richard Sale-to produce the
script for Father Was a Full
back" but the collaboration has
managed some genuinely funny
domestic comedy. Attention Is
about equally divided between the
coach's impending doom because

desolation in the unbiased thought
that she is a social outcast, the
sight of whom makes strong COL
lege freshmen Ill.
The ultimate solution to the
problems of both father and
daughter is no great surprise. but
it is funny enough. The script is
a good-humored one which finds
comedy in a lot Of the common
place corners Of a believable
American household. John Stahl's
direction is notable for its expert
timing. He knows just how long
1t is possible to daily with com
edy sequence without having 1t
fall apart under him.
MacMurray. of course. has long
been one of Hollywood's abler ar
lists in the light comedy field. His
laconic style is exactly the right
one for this role Of a man be-
leaguered on one side by an
alumni association and on the
other by a daughter who develops
emotional crises beyond male un-
derstanding. Miss O'Hara makes
the sort of a wife a man would be
happy to have around the house
and the coach's daughters are ex-
pertly played by Betty Lynn and
Natalie Wood, who is a sweet
heart.

has Rudy Vallee and Thelma Rit-
ter to fall back on when the oc-
casion demands. Both are good
for laughs, Vallee as a prissy

he also has provoked the murder

AS if this were not sufficiently
unpretty pass for any melodrama
there is fourth character. This
is a housekeeper played by Marie
Leighton, a slender witch who Is
so infatuated with Gotten that
she spends her full time thinking
of ways to dispose of Miss Berg
man.
Director Hitchcock is an old
hand in the passions which smoul-
der through Under Capricorn, -
but this time he handles them as
if they were so much dead weight.
The single familiar element OF
the Hitchcock touch is that visible
in the Wilding portrait Of the wild
young Irishman, Adare. This fear
less, frivolous fellow is the screen
plays major redeeming feature.
He gives it not merely its most
solid touch of sanity, but virtually
all of its lighter moments OF the
kind to which Hitchcock has ac-
customed his followers.
The New South Wales. or Aus
tralia, of 1881 provides Under
Capricorn" with a more eerie air
than In most of the master melo-
dramatist's works. The majority
of it's characters are "emanca-
pists," English criminals given
moderate prison terms in the new
colony on their promise to remain
there as land developers after
achieving probation.
The chief setting is the Sam
Flusky home some miles outside OF
Sidney. This is where Miss Berg
man drinks herself neurotic, where
Gotten broods upon the malevo-
lence Of love, where the house
keeper puts shrunken heads in
milady's bed, and where Wilding's S
ministrations finally result In a
kind of social healing.
Everyone concerned with "Un-
der Capricorn" has been identified
with much happier achievements.

JACL to Submit
Memo to i. S. on
Claims Matter

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 3
In order that the Department Of
Justice may be informed rs to the
evacuee-claimant's point of view on
all aspects of the evacuation claims
program, the National JACL will
submit memoranda from time to
time to this government agency,
Hito Okada, national president, an
nounced at headquarters today.
These memoranda will deal with
such items as definitions Of the
scope and terms of the evacuation
claims law, interpretations of spe-
cific legal questions involved In
administering the statute, and
general problems relating to the
entire evacuation claims program.
Mike Masaoka, national legislative
director, JACL Anti-Discrimination
Committee, Washington. d. c.. was
named to direct this JACL activity
Since attorneys who have filed
claims are more aware of the many
problems involved and may have
developed interpretations of the law
that may be helpful to the JACL i'll
the preparation of these memoranda
all attorneys, and particularly Mise
attorneys, are invited to participate
in this program, Mr. Okada said
Those interested should write
directly to Masaoka, 300 Fifth
Street Northeast, Washington 2,
d. C.
If enough attorneys agree to CO.
operate in this program, Okada de-
clared, several attorneys in various
parts of the country will be aSket
to prepare legal briefs on certain
aspects of the law These briefs vii
be summarized and perhaps supple
mented by Edward j. Ennis, JAC1
legal counsel, and submitted to TIN
Department OF Justice as expression
of JACL's views on the interpreta
lions and administrations of the law
In this way, it is hoped that
more liberal and expeditions govern
ment program will result.
II was pointed out that most
of the interested attorneys in Los
Angeles met recently with Masa-
Okla and agreed to cooperate In
this JACL program as public
service to all evacuees.
Cooperating attorneys will receiv
copies of all memoranda submitte

Masaoka said that while no
thing official has been announced,
it is suggested that any person
with any type interest in a claim
file under the evacuation claims
law. If the claim Of one person is
disallOwed because II is improperly
filed, or for other reasons, the
government apparently will not
permit any other parties to file

line.
Meanwhile, he suggested claimant

those already filed have been pro

from the department of Justice
