Strong Protest Drawn
After Nationalist Guns
Hit Second U. ). Ship
By the Associated Press

The State Department drafted
an energetic protest" to the Chi
nese Nationalist government today
as a result of a second attack on
an American merchant ship.
The skipper of the vessel, the
Sir John Franklin, declared shells
from two Nationalist warships
struck his ship - times in a one
hour attack.
The incident, piling up new
troubles for the United States and
China, occurred yesterday at the
mouth of the Yangtze River. near
Communicated, Shanghai.
It was at virtually the same spot
where another ship of the same
line, the Flying Cloud, was shelled
by Nationalist warship on No
vember Is. An American protest
filed at that time has produced no
reply from the Nationalist govern
ment, which at the moment is
shifting capitals again to escape
the advancing Communists.
The new attack brought new
demands from the ships operators.
the Isbrandtsen Co. Of New York,
that the United States Government
protect American commerce.
There was no hint from any
official source, however, that in
the present fast-changing stage
of developments in China the
United States plans to do more
than protest.
The warships presumably were
enforcing a Nationalist order is
sued last June declaring Shanghai
and other major Communicated
ports to be closed to international
commerce.
The United States and other
maritime nations have refused to
recognize this order as a valid
blockade, and several ships OF the
|Isbrandtsen round-the-world serv-
ice have ventured into Shanghai
in the face of the Nationalist ban.
Capt. Warren Hardy, master
of the Sir John Franklin, radioed
in message, relayed to the State
Department from Shanghai that
the two warships opened fire from
a distance of 500 yards without
the traditional preliminary OF a
warning shot across the bow.
Capt. Hardy reported that the
warships were destroyer escorts.
He said that when they Sig
nailed the American ship to stop
as it was passing over a bar at
the mouth of the Yangtze River.
he replied: Cannot anchor here.
shallow water. Board us (while)
under way or accompany us to
deep-water anchorage and then
board U.s."
He said the shooting kept up
even after the Sir John Franklin
reached deep water and signaled
the pursuers that the ship was
dronpinp anchor.

arated the rest of his days from
his equally eart-broken wife.
Nevertheless, this was the re-
morseless ending of the story, as
it had to be in the case of a direc-
tor so uncompromisingly honest
as McCarey.
1t it was true to life" as every
one said, it was too true, and much
too harsh a truth to be faced by
those seeking entertainment in its
lightest form.
They stayed away in the pro-
verbal legions and one of the
most dramatic movies ever made
was allowed the single solace OF
making every critics 10-best list
and a quick oblivion.
\
Miss Dunne's argument for a
remake now at least as the justi-
fication that today's movie audi
ences are prepared for tougher
emotional adventures than it was
a decade ago.
Hollywood's best picture at the
boxoffice at the moment are those
which look unf1inchingly at some
of the more bitter truths of human
experience; of the facts OF insan-
ity in The Snake Pit" and the
cruel aversion of normal humans
for the handicapped in Johnny
Belinda" A number of others
with grimly fascinating stories to
tell are demonstrating that while
entertainment as diversion still is
desirable-say, most desirable
it nevertheless need not be the
single goal.
!: 1t might have been wrong, as
Miss Dunno thinks, to cast such a
beloved and widely known come
dian as Victor Moore in the origl-
nal picture.
There were many who shared
this viewpoint when the first ver-
sion of Make Way for Tomorrow"
was offered in 1887. They did not
blame Moore, who gave splendid
performance, but rather the cir
cumstance that the picture drew
his public which had been taught
to expect merriment at the mere
sight of him.
He made the picture memorable
enough that Miss Dunno and a
great many others would like to see
Director McCarey try again with
Make way for Tomorrow.
Far less dramatic stories are
being remade in Hollywood these
days.

column. From Hollywood, she
reports that Irene Dunno is urg-
ing Leo McCarey to do remake,
with Miss Dunno as star.
Miss Dunno might very well be
starting what eventuates as a
national movement. Certainly
she should have the support of
film reviewers everywhere, a
group which has occasion to re-
member the picture with almost
as much bitter disappointment
as those who produced it.
Make Way for Tomorrow" in
many respects still stands as the
most perfect illustration of what
Hollywood means when it scorn-
fully labels a movie "a critics
picture Such a screenplay is
one which earns the unstinted
praise of the reviewers and not
q dime of return on the pro-
ducer's investment.
Make Way for Tomorrow" was
all that to perfection. In Wash
ington, as elsewhere. the reviews
were rhapsodic, unanimously so.
Here was a screenplay, the papers
said, which everyone should see,
and which almost nobody saw.
It is down in the Palace books as
having attracted an approximate
$4,000 in one weeks business.
The sum represents about 40 per
cent of what a Hollywood pot
boiler would draw in the same
house at that time.
The experience was repeated IN
principal theaters all over the
country, to the complete chagrin
of the reviewers as much as OF
Hollywood.
The chief explanation for the
failure of Make Way for Tomor-
row" was that it dared to tell
an almost unbearable truth about
life. The truth. which McCarey
underscored with passionate and
sensitive direction of the story
was that children, having grown
up, repay their parents not in
the coin of love and understand
ing, but in selfishness and cruelty.
The hero and heroine of the
story, played by Victor Moore and
Beulah Bondi, were pair OF
elderly parents. Theirs was a
great and simple devotion which
they had shared for decades In
making this world better place
for their children.
The opening of the picture
found them grown old, now un-
willingly the dependents OF the
children for whom no sacrifice
of theirs had ever been too great.
The children did not want them.
This was not a personal rejection
of two decent, elderly persons by
unnaturally ungrateful young ones.
McCarey's picture caught, not just
the personal element in the story,
but the universal and tragic one.
There was nothing villainous in
the attitude of the children. They
did not want to do what they had
to do; or thought they had to do
and did. They, too. were unhappy
that the story ended one day with
the elderly father getting on
train and going to a home for
such as he where he would be sep
