urday afternoon had the spirit Of
a neighborhood farewell.


a neighborhood farewell.
OF the stories told by the multi
tude of friends who fingered on
the sunlit lawn of All Saints
Episcopal Church after the fu-
neral, one of the best was that
told of Nicholas Schenck, chair
man Of the board of directors OF
Leow's Inc.
Schenck is famous within the
film industry as the executive
who issues no statements. He
speaks formally only in answer
to questions which requires a
reply from him instead of Sbme-
one else within the company.
When news came of Carter
Barron's death, it was suggested
to the head of the company that
Carter represented that this was
a situation which was an ex-
ception to his policy of silence
You're right" Schenck agreed
"but what could I possibly say
that would do justice to a man OF
Carter's qualities and his work
I'll do the best I can"
*&*
As one of the most successful
film exhibitors in the industry's
history, Carter Barron did moi
always see eye-to-eye with his
friends. the movie critics.
1t never mattered in then
personal relations.
There was a time when ar
easily displeased critic and Carter
made a long "junket" to attenc
the world premiere Of a super.
pretentious screenplay. The jour.
ney was one of those all-luxury
jaunts and Carter never was a
more solicitous and successful
host. Everything was perfect
except one thing, and Carter
had the diplomacy to make that
perfect, too.
Gee" he said on the revelous
night Of the return journey to
Washington, this has been good.
Except for the picture, it really
was a H of a good party,
wasn't it?"

ton marks at the end of them
were being directed at Capra. AS
the more agile-minded guests do,
Capra had answers. Chilly good
ones, too. He even had one for
the most provocative question
asked that day:
Who in your opinion has come
closest to producing art in the
movies: art in the sense of a
picture that will live because it's
theme is universal and because
its treatment is timeless?"
Charlie Chaplin" Capra said,
just like that. without a second S
delay.
What pictures, specifically?"
was the next question.
Modern Times, say, and City
Lights" Capra named them.
No one disputed him then and
there has been a lot of evidence
In the decade since that this was
quite reasonable.
X
1t is today, however, that this
estimate of Chaplin is about to
get its most complete test.
The reissue of City Lights"
comes at time when a whole new
generation is innocent of any
awareness of Chaplin. These are
the youngsters who have been
brought up on Gene Aubrey, Roy

Rodgers. Clark Gable, Richard
Widmark. Betty Cradle. Milton
Berle, Howdy Doody, and a
thousand other talking, singing
and dancing humans. marionettes
and dummies.
/ Will Chaplin be able to sweep
them off their little loyalties into
the conviction that he is the
greatest entertainer of modern
times? Will the parents of these,
remembering Chaplin of the days
before Monsieur Verdoux." be
able to convince the new genera
ton that this master of panto-
mime is the funniest man who
ever lived?
Is pantomime the universal Ian
guage and the most eloquent one?
Was Capra right that day at the
Press Club?
"City Lights" has not been re-
leased on a sufficiently wide scale
to answer these questions. It will
be, however, before summers end.
So far. it is doing such handsome
business and so profoundly in
fluencing the young as we'll as the
old that it has become the springs
most exciting entertainment sub
ject.
1t even has Chaplin wondering
if he was not in error that fateful
day when he decided to add talk
to his pictures.
The Eric Johnston Office, for
mally the Motion Picture Associ-
alton, has days when it is sick
and weary with the notion that it
is a censorious ogre. 1t was on
Just such a day that the MPA's
Tim Claggett wrote this depart
ment as follows:
you may want to correct
an erroneous impression about
The Bicycle Thief that seems
to be making the rounds.
IT am referring to the belief
that large theaters are under
stern and strict obligation not
to show any motion picture
which does not carry the Ger
tificate of approval from the
Production Code Administra-
ton.
Because of this, so the story
goes, The Bicycle Thief must
pedal along the art house cir
cult.
THE impression has caught
fire to such an extent that some
people seem to think the the
aters will suffer dire and dread
full penalties if they dare show
non-Code films.
This, of course, is wholly
false. The Production Code is
a voluntary agreement entered
into by producers and distrib-
utors. not exhibitors. It i'm
poses absolutely no obligations
or penalties of any sort on any
theater. In a few words, any
theater can play any picture at
any tine-Code seal or not.

SCIENCE SAVES YOUR PET
Continued from page serenteen

Memorial staff advises Harvard
on special studies such as the effect
of a folio acid derivative on cancer
in animals.
Although treating animals pre-
sents some peculiar problems, DR.,
Erwin F. Schroeder, dean of the
professional staff, believes they
are no more difficult than human
patients - in some ways, less so.
Diagnosis is simpler sometimes"
he SAYS, because, unlike humans,
an animal never exaggerates his
symptoms. At our hospital the
patient is always honest with the
doctor"
It is DR.. Schroeder who is main
ly responsible for the remarkable
adaptation of splints which ena-
bles animals with shattered legs
to walk and run painlessly few
hours after severely fractured
bones have been set.
DIR. Schroeder and his staff
are convinced that the mental
attitude of animal patients
affects recovery as it does in
humans. New patients are
brought to spotless examining
rooms for diagnosis either by
appointment or in a clinic. The
doctor talks soothingly, handling
them with that mysterious under
standing of animals proficient vet
erinarians develop. Even when in
acute pain, patients seldom show
fear.

Duck GizzaYds Yield Unexpected Information

--Lon huterG are not such C--tsa-finc shots after all, Urban C. Nelson, biologist of the Fish and Wildlife Service, thinks. Mr. Nelson last year studied the giz- zards of AZ mallards, expecting to learn something of the birds habits that way. When he found lead pellets in 12 of the AT gig fards, he began to feel that he also was learning something of hunters habits, as well.
 MT. Nelson says the lead got in the gizzards by being swallowed, and that 1t was swallowed be- cause is didn't hit the bird it was aimed at. When the lead fell to the ground, it was promptly gob- bled up by a greedy duck, who thought 1t a new breakfast dish.
 Incidentally, enough of the shot taken internally can be just as deadly to a duck as if the hunters aim had been truer.
