Loves Path Deadly at Keith's
In MelOdrama 'Criss Cross
BY Joy Comody
By Joy Cormody

These loves that will not die are
no problem to the movies. AS they
see this situation, it is merely a
matter of killing the two lovers.
This is precisely what happens in
'Criss Cross" new melodrama at
Keiths.
AS the picture ends, Burt Lam
caster and Yvonne de Carlo are
lying dead in each others arms,
appropriately enough on a love
seat in the living room of lonely
trysting place on the Pacific. This
is not what they bargained for,
perhaps. but it is what they got.
Who is to say, especially after see
ing the picture, that it is not a
kind of justice?
"Criss Cross" a UNIVERSAL
ternational directed by Robert
Siodmak, is a rallying point for
some of the toughest, and sultrl-
est, characters in the movies. In
addition to Lancaster and hard
harted Yvonne, it presents Dan
Duryea, Stephen Mentally and
John Miller, the latter playing a
character known bluntly as the
Lush"
You can bet they are up to no
good.
wild Calendar" the novel on
which the film is based, finds its
theme in one of those tear-gas-
and-tommy-gun romances which
constitute Hollywood S favorlte nc
ton.
The lovers, as you must have
gathered, are Miss De Carlo and
Lancaster. When they first meet,
apparently at nelghborhood
dance hall, she is just a poor KID
trying to have a good time, and
he a decent hulk of a guy who
drives a payroll delivery truck.
Neither looks like the sensitive
sort, but when their marriage
hits a Freudian snag. each goes
into a moral decline. Miss De

story, and even a child knows
that every story has two sides.
Until the Council sees fit to
release its findings from the in
vestigation it has made, it
would not be wise to appraise
the situation, for such an APP
praiSal would not be founded
on fact.
THEN there is the matter,
which many are perhaps too
willing to forget, and that is
the great need for medical SER
vice here. Because we have
not been able to pay attrac-
tive salaries, we have not been
able to keep our doctors. With
in the last few years there
have been changes-GN too
many changes.
AFTER all is said and done
it seems to this paper that the
best course to take is to have
the legislature determine the
facts. When that is done then
there can be an intelligent ap-
to whatever problem
exists. IF there is no problem,
then the members of Council
should take the matter to the
people and end, once and for
all the tension which is rising
without justification. If there
is a problem, then take the
necessary steps to correct it.

H SITUATION AT H HOSPITAL
SOONER OR LATER the situation at the Hospital will
have to be faced, and it might as well be met now as at any
other time. But before going further, the question is: What isl
this situation?
COMPLAINTS HAVE been heard that the Chief NUM-
cipal physician did not get along well with his staff. His wife,
who up to a few weeks ago was a member of the staff as al
physician, seemed to aggravate the situation. She has, appar-
entity resigned, but the complaints continue, and among thoseI
heard are that discipline is stricter, more careful checking is
done upon supplies, and it is believed that the Chief frownsI
upon free medical services to those who could, and should
pay for them. On more than one occasion the Council discuss
ed the situation with Dr.. Shoney, but it is not known that
anything definite was decided upon.
IT SEEMS TO us that we are not handling the matter
correctly. If DR.. Shorney is not living up to our expectations,
both as to professional services, and his management of the
Hospitals, then the Council should investigate and request
that his resignation be rendered. Crumbing in the wards, on
the street corners, and even fiery speeches for the satisfaction
of great crowds will not solve the problem, if theregis a pro-
blem. What we must learn to do as an organized, intelligent
people is to meet our problems head on, find out what the
trouble is, and then seek to correct them in orderly fashion.
U E is another side to this picture which must
also be faced squarely. Dissatisfaction of a number of employ
ees merely because they have not come up to the standard re
qured Of them, or because they may be disciplined as neces
sary, is no reason to determine that the hospital is not being
well run. We must be careful to distinguish between what is
arbitrary discrimination, and discipline properly exercised by
one whose duty it is to see that the department in his charge
is efficiently and effectively administered. Our leaders should
be matued enough to draw that line, and act accordingly. At
this particular time we. are not prepared to say exactly what
the trouble is, for we have heard but one side of the
