A man named Gabriel Figueroa
is easily the star of "Paloma," the
Mexican-made film now at the
Plaza. He has contributed fal
more to 1t than the cast, headed
by COLUMBIA Dominguez and Ro-
berto Canedo, or the writer-di-
rector, Emilio Fernandez. by max

ically stunning.
Scene follows scene in which
the composition is perfect, the
lighting effect-impressive. Pho.
tographer Figueroa has made "Pa-
Iona" truly a thing of pictorial
beauty. The trouble with this, ot
course. is that the dominant cam
era submerges everything else
What is left on the screen be-
comes after awhile something that
can be of interest only to amateur
photographers.
Your appreciation of ''Paloma'
as motion picture entertainment
probably will be governed by your
appreciation of current Mexican
literary thought. There are other
words than emotional and "sen-
sitive" which a man might apply
to this peasant drama. but there
is no point in being uncouth when
1t is just as easy to be couth.
It is, to give you the bare facts,
the story Of Mexican farmer
who returns to his village from
jail. where he has been for six
years for taking a pot-shot at his
best friend who betrayed his, the
farmers, girl friend. His ex-best

from the betrayal. but Paloma

and he is too good for her. So,

he wins a wad and a horse.
Paloma marries him then, all
right. but no body comes to the
fiesta. He plants his corn any,
way and the crop is good. Then
he gets those two fellows who
told him to leave town even
angrier with him by selling his
corn somewhere else, so the sheriff
tells him to leave town. He
starts to do this. is waylaid,
shoots his enemies and leaves
town.
A great, crashing musical score
accompanies all of this and Miss
Dominguez and Mr.. Canedo, who
stare conveyed at each other
throughout, read every line with
awe, as if this were the greatest
poetry in the history of the Span
ish language. It may be, but one
line translates as, Il will meet you
later at the saloon; I must go
to the market to sell my donkey"
Mr.. Canedo even reads this as If
he were announcing that Dooms-
day would arrive next Tuesday at
1890 pm.
Mr.. Figueroa certainly has set
this down on a lot of handsome
pictures, though.

Andrew Jackson who plays a
minor character in the Techni-
color screenplay at the Metro
politan.
This Laf1tte, played by Paul
Henreid, is more special in a way
than any of his several dozen
predecessors. He is up to his
old piratical tricks. to be sure,
but he has singled out a victim
OF peculiar culpability. This is
Spain on whom the last Bucca-
neer has declared a private war

votes his exclusive attention.

"The Last Buccaneer" is an
escape film produced with Colum-
bia Pictures pity for those who
want to escape Western movies.
That it does not go quite all the
way. which would require the in
PRODUCTION of sea horses. is really
one of the films better dramatic
virtues. There are a couple of
sequences in which Lafitte rides
land horses with the skill of a
Hopalong Autry and there is no
diSputing that the sight of a
pirate on a horse has its novelty.
Nor is this the only suggestion
that Hollywood is experimenting
with the cross fertilization of
standard film types.
In another passage of "The Last
Buccaneer," Laf1tte and his color
fully dressed sea-raiders, find
themselves involved in an Indian
battle that would do credit to,
shall one say, television.

Apart from these oddly striking
items, the Metropolitan's feature
is strictly routine. It relates how
Laf1tte, who had just defeated
England in the War of 1872, is
forced back into piracy when his
ungrateful country refuses to re-
turn his ships after victory. A La
fltte without a ship is naturally
unthinkable so Jean corrects this
by snatching Spanish two-mas-
ter lying off New Orleans.
Naturally, he cannot park this
where the owners might find it,
SO he goes looking for another
haven which turns out to be the
island of Galveston 400 miles to
the west. From here. he goes back
to preying upon Spanish shipping
which apparently was a magnifi-
Gently profitable business then
whatever it has become under
Franco. This is quite a diversion
for any man, but not altogether
satisfying to one of Lafitte's skill.
Socially, he finds Galveston dull

MoHnon's Calculated Dunkinq HELPS Doctors
By Ted Mcdowell

Bob Teeple, a courageous little
mailman, has been weighed ex-
perimentally so much and in so
many ways lately he's beginning
to wonder whether he weighs 140
pounds or only 6.
He's found that weight is rela-
tive and it all depends on where
you Stand-or in this case, float.
And he knows that if you take
a deep breath it makes a diff
ference, too.
Doctors at Georgetown Hospital
are treating Mr.. Teeple for rheu-
matoid arthritis, a painful dis
ease Of the joints that makes it
difficult to walk, much less carry
q bag full of letters.
How Weighing Comes In.
He is being treated with corti-
some, a hormone that has proved
effective against rheumatoid arth-
ritis and other diseases.
Doctors know that cortisone
treatment usually causes a pa
tient to gain weight. They are
on the. track of how it happens,
and that's where all the weighing
comes in.
Animal experiments indicate the
weight rise results from increased
retention of body fluids and a
buildup of fat caused in some way
by cortisone and it's. sister drug,
acth.
Mr.. Teeple. %, of 1912 Eight
eenth street Sc. has gained three
pounds In the last week. Doctors
wanted to know whether this was
fat or fluid. They found out yes
terday. But first Mr.. Teeple had to
go through the following weigh
ing-in operations at the Naval
Gun Factory experimental diving
school:
He sat on a chair-like scale and
registered 40 pounds. Then he
blew as much of his breath as
possible into complicated tank
device. He was able to ooze out
four liters of breath. This meant
that, in water, this lung air would
make him about eight pounds
lighter than he would be with no
air in his lungs. A similar, but
more complicated test was made
to compute the buoyancy of the
air he was unable to force out of
his lungs.
Dunked In Big Tank.
Then Mr.. Teeple was led into
one Of the diving schools expert
mental tanks. At the top of the
20-foot high chamber was another
scale. A rope and trapeze hung
from it. Mr.. Teeple climbed
aboard. Then he dunked. The
scale registered 6.3 pounds.
He came up for air. Then he
blew the air out of his lungs as
he dunked again. The scale
showed 16 pounds. While a doctor
scribbled numbers on pad, Mr.
Teeple repeated the operation. An
expert diver and doctor treaded
water beside him and reassured
him as he bobbed.
When it was all through, doc
tors figured his specific gravity
his weight in relation to that OF
water. His specific gravity was
1852, the same as it was when
he was dunked at 1877 pounds last
week. And this gave doctors the
answer - the weight rise was
caused by fluids. Fat is lighter
than water. If Mr.. Teeple had put
on fat, his specific gravity woulc
have been less. But since it re-
