CARVER PARK PROGRESS EDITION
NOW is THE TIME TO BUY AND FURNISH NEW HOME

but the existing privies are used
by a much larger number Of ind
viduals, due to overcrowding Of
homes and erection of shaeks in
the rear of homes. Many Of these
privies are but a few feet from
dwellings. The public health dis
trict receives almost daily com
plants about the conditions Of
privies.
THE sanitarian Of the public
health district said that now as
in 1888, very few Of IN existing
priyies conform to the code regula-
tions on construction and main
tenance.
IT Is ONLY recently that there
has been conformance with the
clause about obtaining writttn per-
mission from the health authority
for the construction of new pri-
vies.
The spot maps Of the public
health district show the highest
incidence Of tuberculosis and itther
communicable diseases in the sub
standard and overerowded ar as.
The department considers such
areas health hazards, both to the
occupants and to the rest of the
community. II has the authority
to cond mn dwellings, but cohsid-
ers II impossible to exercise this
authority when there Is no place
for people to live.
''The fire departments have the
authority to require that certain
conditions constituting fire haz-
ards be remedied such as made
quate protection around stove
pipes or behind slaves. Investiga-
tions Of substandard structures
are made only when complaint
is received.
1.-THE departments stated frank
1y that many hazardous eondi-
tons exist which are never
brought to their attention. Al
though theoretically the fire chiefs
have the authority to condemn and
require vacancy of a structure
this authority is not exercised be-
cause il has been found that the
courts do not sustain the decisions
of the fire department.
1.-THE superintendent of building
construction Champaign, and the
commissioner of public works. Ur-
bana, also said that many struc-
lures now occupied are not fit for
human habitation. Apparently,
however, the converted shacks and
sheds do not fall within their proc
ince. The lack of sufficient stand
ard housing was offered by all city
officials interviewed as the chief
reason why nothing could be done
about the occupancy Of unfit struc-
lures.

Dan O'Herlihy is one visitor who

what he thought of American

There is radio program-at
least there was once and if you
think old soldiers never die you
ought to know about old radio
programs-entitled David Hard
ing, Counterspy." There is this
fellow David Harding, see, and
he goes around counterspying, or
spying on spies. Well, the sue
cess of this radio program has
prompted some people to make a
movie about this same fellow and
his activities. Taking no chances,
they have called it David Hard4
ing, Counterspy." and if you don't
believe it you go down to the
Metropolitan and see for yourself.
In all fairness to this film let
it be said that it is true to the
spirit of the original radio show
and every bit it's equal in dra-
matte stature. Howard st. John,
who apparently does the same
sort of thing on the radio, plays
a man named David Harding,
Counterspy, and he seemed about
to counter the spies. all right,

life and of how the camera can be-
used to record these with honesty
and convincing realism.
Beyond these affecting virtues,
"The Men" introduces to movie
audiences the most brilliant and
muscular young performer they
have met in many a year. His
name is Marion Brando, an eccen-
trio who roams alleys in search of
life's basic truths and seems at
least to find something no other
youthful actor has discovered.
In Kramer, as in Playwright
Tennessee Williams who wrote "a
Street Car Named Desire" Brando
has found a singularly under
standing employer for his unique
and rugged gifts.
AS the man in 1.-THE, Men," he
is an actor not to be missed.

Kramer's third screenplay is a
more radical break with conven-
tional material than either of the
others.
1t is an intense and engrossing
drama Of paraplegics, soldiers with
spinal wounds which have left
them paralyZed below the waist,
and left them with a downright
savage problem of adjusting to
life. Should such men marry?
Can they have children? Have
they a psychologist chance at any
thing like normality? What does
life hold for these who are so close
to being the living dead?
For answers to these questions,
Kramer invades Birmingham Vet
Grams hospital with results far
more gripping than any mere
film fiction. With the aid of Di-
rector Fred zimmerman (''The
SearchD, Writer Carl Foreman
and cast which includes As
Birmingham paraplegics. he makes
1.-THE Men" screen super-Special.
Half dozen strands of power
full human drama are tied into
the narrative OF The Men"
Dominant among these is the story
OF Ken (Brando), the bitter para
plegic who wants no half-life, no
memory Of Ellen who still loves
him, no part in a great doctors
fight for his grievously wounded
patients.
There are also Ellen (Teresa
Wright, brave enough to try
love as a balm for Ken's hope
lessness, and wise enough to know
the odds against it; the special
list edmund Sloane), who faces
the bitter truth that he will never
see a patient cured; the para
plegic with the educated mind
who can find few uses for it in
a wheelchair; and the gentle kid

fighting to get well enough to
provide a home for his impover-
iShed mother and education for
his helpless younger brothers and
sisters.
These are the main story line
characters. Many others are
worked in briefly and tellingly.
There is much that is sad
about 1.-THE Men," but much more
that is brave. Moreover. as any
one knows from the slightest Serv-
ice hospital experience. there is
a great deal that is truly comic.
The sum total of life in the
paraplegics' ward is documented
on the Palace screen.
In central focus is Brando in
an amazingly realistic portrait of
Ken Wilcox. He wants to die
He violently rejects all else, his
girls desire to see him, the para
plegie routine that redeems, If
it cannot cure. the others. He is
a mean, determined fighter.
Equally determined, If not so
mean, is the doctor who finally
throws Ken into contact with the
girl and upon the not too tender
mercies of the other paraplegics.
If he cannot face reality, the
doctor will thrust 1t upon him.
1t is ruthless but it works. Not
magically as in the movies but
honestly. slowly and painfully in
a downright brilliant performance
by Brando, and one by Miss
Wright that artfully evades senti-
Every mumbled Syl-
liable. every snarling outburst and
every cropping gesture of Brando's
imitation Of Wilcox stamps it as
miles beyond the slightest touch
of fakery.
1.-THE Men" Is the more honest,
If not the more dramatic, for
some Of its imperfections. Here
and there, it stumbles into a
cliche, and moves uncertainty. Yet
it always retrieves itself by the
drama compact in its people and
their situation, and by the power
of other performances than those
of Brando and Miss Wright.
Sloane is the equal Of the for-
mer. indeed, in his portrait of
the doctor who suffers more an
guish than his patients. and Jack
Webb Is close in the character
he makes as the intellectual para
plegic whose taste in women -
as bad as his other tastes are
fine. Arthur Jurado, a real para
plegic, gives a remarkably touch
ing performance as the boy who
wanted to go home. Others
among the As patients used in
the film live up to the faith Kra-
mer imposed in them as actors.
Their work in 1.-THE Men" puts
you in their debt to see the story
they have to tell.

The Petty girl, leggy. Dusty
type, has been quite an inSpira-
ton to the editors and readers of
a magazine that might be called
the male Vogue.
Apparently, she is considerably
less inspiring to Columbia Pic
lures. 1t has just made a movie
called 1.-THE Petty Girl" and the
effect of it can only be to test the
loyalty of the seductive DANES
public. Even with Joan Caulfield
in the title role, it is merely an
over-eager, strained bit of nom
sense the like of which everyone
has seen dozens of times.
This certainly is not what is ex-
pected to either Miss Caulfield, q
shapely lass in her own right, or a
Petty girl.
The weakness Of 1.-THE Petty
Girl" as she tmoves across the
Warmers screen is the usual one.
That is to say that, having had
the idea of making movie of this
widely admired creature, no one
could think of story to support
the project.
Mary Mccarthy and Nat Perrin
are the writer's who tried, but all
they could come up with is daffy
narrative about an artist named
George Petty who breaks down a
prim young college teachers re-
luctance to become his model.
Robert Cummings made up to look
like Petty man plays the painter
and he resembles nothing SO much
as an actor who feels his work is
making less sense than usual.
He is not a performer at home
in routine slapstick such as get
ting nice girl drunk, making a
landlubber's mess of taking her
for sail, and getting a busboy's
job in order to be near her.
Much more at home in such a
farcial environment are Elsa
Manchester. Melville Cooper, Mary
Wickes and the like but even they
are forced to succumb to the
weakness of invention on the part
of the writer's.
The one time 1.-The Petty Grip
looks like a Petty girl picture is
the closing sequence. In this, the
Columbia Technico1or shines upon
a dozen real Petty girls in their
standard guises and poses. Even
the most intense admirers of Miss
Caulfleld are sure to have lost
interest completely by the time
this arrives. j. C.
