feeling toward the end that this
is going on forever as the picture
arrives at one logical climax after
another. only to fade in and go
on to the next one.
"She Wore q Yellow Ribbon
looks like another Fort Apache, "
this time in Technicolor. but on
the whole it's q much livelier
photoplay. The script, by Frank
Nugent and Laurence Stallings. is

that way under the directors

that way under the directors
guidance.
John Wayne is the leading
member of the cast and "She
Wore Yellow Ribbon" turns out
to be his picture all the way
through. His performance as the
gruff, mustachioed cavalry officer
with 40 years of soldering behind
him is the best thing he's done
in a long time. 1t Is role that
called for more than just walk
ing through and drawing lines
and it is a pleasure to be re-
minded that Mr.. Wayne can act,
too. He even makes you feel the
lingering stiffness in his old joints
as he steps out Of doors on a
brisk morning.
Most of the comedy is left in
the hands of Ben johnson. as a
sergeant whose attachment for
the late Confederacy has given
him a continuing distrust of
Yankees, and Victor McLaglen. as
a sergeant whose thirst keeps him
in continuing danger of not being
a sergeant. There's a topnotch
comedy sequence in which seven
or eight of his fellow troopers try
to haul McLaglen off to the guard
house, a venture which turns out
to be as foolhardy as any pro-
posed on the screen in some time.
Others who add the human
touch to "She Wore a Yellow Rib
bon" are Mildred Natwick, as the
wife of the posts commanding Of
|hcer; George O'Brien, as the
major; Arthur Shields, as the
troops doctor, and an Indian
named Chief Big Tree. The chiefs
command of the language seems
to extend to a speech that goes
something like "Ho. friend, hunt
buffalo, smoke many pipe. get
drunk, hallelujah!" A philoso-
pher, no less. jeanne Dru. John
Agar and Harry Carey. jr.. are
a trio involved in romantic sub
plot that Mr.. Ford doesn't allow
to get in the way too much this
time.
His latest may not be another
"Stagecoach," but Mr.. Ford has
kept the action at a high enough
pitch that you don't have time
to mind its shortcomings too
much. Paced by the marching
song Of the same name, She
Wore a Yellow Ribbon" moves
right along.

is,n's dream boy. Let him run
across the dead body of a tuber-
culosis smirched girl in a fifth
rate hotel, and before the noon
edition he will have Chicago's eyes
popping out of its head!
This amazing trick he accom-
plishes simply by tracing the poor
GIRLS life backward through an
amour with a vice president OF

city. marriage to promising ar
chitect who was killed in traffic

nicipal rackets king. and a couple

'ster-who looks like an associate

sive girls school.
Now, before you leap to the
conclusion that this was bad
girl and hardly worth the atten-
ton of such miracle man, here's
the topper: All the time she was
as innocent as a fawn! No more
had she ever asked than the right
to devote her physical and spiri-
tsaal beauty to making this hap

her, but could tell this by looking

Y X X
This melodramatic merengue is
the original work of writer
whose name you may already have
guessed. Tiffany Thayer. If he
did not actually write it back
there several years ago as a screen
vehicle for Ladd. it was only be-
cause he did not know what he
was doing.
It is as perfectly tailored to the
stars film shape as the clothes

to exchange it at the end Of the
story for a pair of well earned
hospital pajamas, both he and the
audience have been through a
veritable hell.
Paramount, as usual, where
Ladd is concerned, has shot the
works on the Palaces new attrac-
ton. It has surrounded the star
with an impressive collection Of
expensive and decorative people
such as Donna Reed, June Havoc.
Arthur Kennedy, John Beal,
Irene Hervey and others.
Through Director Lewis Allen
it has made clear to all and sun
dry that they are going to work
faster than ever before and that
if the thing seems at times not
to be making sense, no one is
going to care.
This is precisely the correct
mental attitude in which to ap-
proach Chicago Deadline."
1t should begin when the re-
porter walks into the dead girls
room, snatches her diary out Of
her battered purse. and from
there on runs the Chicago homi-
eide police to death solving the
crime before they can get started
on 1t.
Thayer's plots being what
they are, 1t Is impossible to re-
trace Ladd's steps in proving that
Rosita Jean Dur was a good girl
whom everyone had done wrong.
It is no trick at all to recall that
he meets some interesting people
wherever he turns, however.
There's Miss Havoc, whom he
picks up at a glossy cocktail party
and who sticks to him thereafter
with the faithfulness of a cocker
spaniel puppy. Before you have
time to reflect that this is the
most incredible. hard-boiled blond
conduct you ever saw, Ladd has
added dozens OF others such as
the banker. the dead girls
brother, a few breathless homi-
eide squad members, a dozen
devoted bartenders, an irate
couple of editors. a suave gangster
and his encourage (both male and
|female) and enough cab drivers
to stock a good-sized industrial
city.
Naturally a man has to get
around to meet SO many friends
and enemies. but with only "a

falls together at the end, but it
is a splendid wind-up scene which
shows Ladd off to the hospital
for TRANSMISSION because that is
what the dead girl would want
him to do.
Considering that he never knew
her until he met her lying dead
in the f1eabag of a hotel. this is
quite a piece Of mind-reading.
There Is something absurdly
amusing about it at that.

French Press Praises
British for Help in :.
Stopping Forest Fires

PARIS, Aug. Is (CDN -
Frances disastrous forest fires,
finally mastered last night after
four days of gigantic effort, have
perhaps had just one beneficial
result.
The phrase "perfidious Albion"
has for the first time in a decade
been changed to read noble AL
bion" through the generous aid
given by Britain's RAF. All Sec
tions of the French press-except,
of course, the Communist-have
united in praise of the British,
who sent the first contingent of
IL fire fighters, followed by a
second contingent of an additional
. 80.
This, however, was the only IA
vorable consequence.
Half of Frances timber has
been destroyed and 100000 men
thrown out of work in the vast
forest holocaust south of Bordeaux,
adding sorely to this country's
political and economic worries.

everybody's mind that the fires
were not pure accident.
But whatever the cause, prac-
tically all sections of the French
press have united to attack the
government for not taking ade-
quate f1re-fighting measures soon
enough.
Premier Queuille's weak cabinet
cannot be forced to resign until
the Houses of Parliament meet
again the end of October. Mean
while, this vast catastrophe will
add fuel to the violent attacks
against it. particularly from the
Socialist Party. The Socialists at

of the mine props and railway

years to grow again.

Against Excellent Stage SETTING

Cast in the leads as Maxim and

and Miss Billie Koch had per-
haps the most difficult roles to
portray in the presentation of
"Rebecca' which was produced
by the Paspoint Little Theater in
the auditorium of the Moss Point
high school on Friday evening.
Charles Bogdahn showed his
dramatic ability in this role of
straight acting after having
starred as the MAR Who Came
to Dinner" and assuming the part
of Mr.. Day in Life With Father"
on a twenty-four hours notice.
In Maxim De Winter he created

pearance and demeanor. Vaughn
Smith, Jr., who was cast as Frank
Crawley played his part well in
his first role with the Paspoint
Players.
Other supporting roles were
played by Allan Richard as Jack
Favell, William Belt as Colonel
Julyan and T. S. Boswell as Will
liam Tabb. Although minor parts
each role was capably enacted
and given a distinct personality,
Mrs. Glenn Torres had a dual
part in the presentation as she
acted IS one of the prompters and
also appeared in the cast in one
scene as the maid, Alice.
Excellent Direction
The stage presence ana smooth
performance of the actors was
ample proof of their capable di-
rection of Mrs. Thomas d. Wells.
Although there were several long
monologues the action did not
drag.
Again the production commit
tee shared honors with the cast
in the presentation. The stage
was skillfully transformed into
the living room of an English
country manor and charmingly
furnished.
William Marie, Gervais Memo
and Fred Handy deserve credit
for the stage construction which
featured a winding stairway as
the setting of one of the dramatic
scenes. :
With his usual excellent taste
Paul Cirlot furnished the stage
with period pieces creating a
charming atmosphere for Man
derley, the scene of the play.
John Howkins, production man
ager, was assisted by a e of
skilled craftsmen in the mechan-
les of production including Joe
Gentle who was in charge of
the lighting, Thelma Mansfield in
charge Of costumes, Mrs. William
Marie in charge of sound effects
and Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. McIlwain
who collected the properties. The
makeup was done by the Mirror
Beauty Salon and Doris Richard
assisted as a prompter.
During the second intermission
