Frank La Falce. Warmers ad
expert among his other jobs, has
been being provocative all this
week.
Would you pick up this grip
he has been asking, pointing q
figurative finger at a picture OF
Beverley Michaels alongside the
question.
Well, after seeing the movie
Pickup" at the Metropolitan, the
answer will have to be no"
1t is not that Miss Michaels is
not shapely or that she is not
pretty in a dark doorway sort OF
way. Rather it is just because she
really is a dull girl in the role OF
Betty. The men she goes around
making saps of were saps to begin
with. The fact is that 'Pushover'
would be better title for the Co.
lumbia film at the Met. That is
precisely what Hugo Haas and
Alan Nixon, the two actors who
pick up Betty, prove themselves to
be from the opening scene OF
Pickup"
Maybe it is churlish to say mo-
to Mr.. La Falce's polite question
but that's the way it is. j. C.

Young love is the main theme
of ION Moonlight Bay" which Of
course will surprise no one. Miss
Days role in it is that of a
lanky. tomboy sort of girl who
has need for adroit padding when
she begins to go to parties with
McRae. AS for McRae, he plays an
intellectual junior from the Uni
versity of Indiana whose way with
girls is better than his way with
their fathers. He alienateS the
latter by having social philoso-
phies-from year to year-which
might even now be unduly ex-
citing to Indiana bankers.
Director Del Ruth is no man
to bank too heavily upon the no.
ton that the sight Of true love
running roughly is all movie Gus
toners want. He has fallen back
throughout the picture on a num-
Der of comedy gags which are just
a little too old to belong to the
period of "On Moonlight Bay"
One of these is the gay deceiver
gag involving Miss Day, but by
far the longest-running is that
in which Mary Wickes, as the
maid. is constantly having dishes
knocked out Of her hands by
swinging doors.
The songs collected for "On
Moonlight Bay" somehow fail to
come off as zingily as others from
the same period.

The Cast.
By Harry Macarthur

If the time is ripe for prepos-
ferrous nonsense on q vast scale
UNIVERSAL international has just
struck with white hot iron. The
name of the iron is 1.-THE Prince
Who Was Thief" and you'll find
it at the Capitol and, come to
think of it, preposterous doesn't
nearly describe it.
THE Prince Who Was a Thief"
Is one Of those Arabian nights
type fancies which shouldn't be
taken seriously, but this is a. diff
cult attitude to adopt since Pro-
|ducer Leonard Goldstein and Dr.
rector Rudolph Mate seem to have
taken it seriously. They tell their
tale, of a prince reared by the
thief who was supposed to assassi-
nate him. earnestly, for all the
world as if they believed every
word of it.
If you take it less seriously,
you might have some fun with
=" T. P. w. w. a T." There's q fair
amount of derring-do as hero,
heroine and several armies of
assorted bearded Williams and
guards pursue one another about
a Technicolor version Of Tangiers,
which in reality wasn't that clean
and shining the day it was built.
A great deal of the fuss revolves
around a pearl the size of a golf
ball, which the sultan of AlgierS
has given to the daughter of the
sultan of Tangiers as a sign of
betrothal. An unwashed acrobatic
dancer named Tina keeps filching
this triumph of an over active
oyster and the sultan Of Algiers
keeps threatening to burn down
Tangiers.
While this is going on the
prince and his foster father make
their plans for robbing the Tan
giers treasury, possibly just to
keep from getting rusty at their
trade, since the prince is going
to declare himself any day and it
really is his treasury. Anyhow
they enlist the aid of Tina in
their project, because she is an
acrobatic dancer and can slip
through the bars and let them in
the door, after they have doped
the geese SO the geese can't cackle
Cor whatever geese do) at intrud-
ers and arouse the guard.
You may have stopped believ-
ing this honest account several
paragraphs back, but you might
as well know all. There also is
a romantic triangle in ct. P. w,
w. T." Tina is in an almost
continual pout because the prince
keeps incoming around and say
ing that the princess is the fair
est flower in all the land and
man never set eyes on such beauty
before.
The prince in this large-scale
romp is played by a young man
named Tony Curtis, who doesn't
look any sillier than any one else
would in the role and who may
even be, as the princess remarks,
as handsome as a young lion
Piper Laurie, the acrobatio dane
er, is quite a lively canine and
Peggy Castle impersonates the
princess who beguiles the prince.
Most of the others operate behind
boards.

Majority of legal votes cast: 6
More often, the problem in
wolves the amount of leeway that
should be granted an obstructive
minority. A serious instance of
this arose a few months ago in a
small Midwestern town when the
members of a school board met to
approve the purchase of new
school bus.
The motion to buy was made,
seconded and carried. There was
only one dissenting vote.
The board was sitting back,
feeling pleased with its action
when the minority of one snapped:
II move to reconsider our vote and
to have it entered on the minutes"
The others were irritated but
baff1ed. The effect of the motion
was to ask. first, for new vote on
the action just taken. But, sec
ondly. it delayed the new vote
until the boards next meeting by
the stratagem of entering it on
the minutes. 1t was a purely
spiteful maneuver since a majority
of the board would certainly still
approve the purchase.
Not sure of his ground, the
chairman accepted the motion and
the board disbanded to wait.

tion," the chairman said child
ingly.
clustered and embarrassed, the
lady blurted out: 81 move Blanks
Cafeteria be asked to supply hot
lunches at school and that we pay
for them" She sat down.
Immediately, the meeting was
in an uproar. Someone didn't like
Blanks Cafeteria. Someone pro-
tested against taking steps until
the cost was known. Several ladies
wrangled over what the menu
should be. When the vote was
taken, the motion failed disas-
trously.
The sad thing is that most of the
women present actually did want
a noon meal served to their chill
dren at school. But the awkward
motion introduced elements which
confused the issue. The chairman
rigidly ignored her duty to clarity
it. And the membership allowed
itself to talk off the point. Thus
a worthy project was defeated.
2. Keep 1t Morning:
1t was calculated recently that
the 1850 convention of a large Bar
Association cost $3.50 per hour,
or S104 per minute. At these rates,
delay, inattentiveness and RAM
bling debate are luxuries few
groups can afford.
Always try to follow the SIM
plest and most direct procedure
for accomplishing your purpose.
Generally speaking, chairman
should rule out of order any mo-
lions presenting needless comph-
cations.
remember one group in which
most of the members wished to
honor a friend with a gold watch.
A minority. however, not sharing
the majority's high opinion of the
man, suddenly offered hostile
amendment to the motion au-
thorizing the gift. in place of the
words gold watch" it read. I'VE
wish to insert the words, ice cream
cone"
Since the minority's hostile feel
ings could have been expressed
simply by a negative vote on the
watch, the chairman might well
have ruled the amendment out of
order.

minorities from pushing through a
measure in the absence of a major
ity. Actually, however, it is simply
a convention without the force Of
law behind it. Had the school
board chairman known this, he
could have ruled the motion out of
order and permitted the bus pur-
chase to stand.
The mistake proved fatal. In the
interim the schools old bus stalled

Navy Better Prepared
For Princeton Than
In 50, Coach Says
By the Assocjoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct. A.
Coach Eddie Erdelatz thinks Navy
is better equipped to cope Satur-
day with Princeton than it was
last year.
The undefeated Princeton team
nosed out Navy 20-14 after trailing
at the half last season.
Navy scouts came away from
Princeton's 54-20 victory over
NYU last Saturday convinced the
Tigers have a better team than
last years despite wholesale losses
of lettermen.
"The scouts tell me Princeton
has more speed more team
speed" Erdelatz said.
But the Navy coach also thinks
his team is better, too. He says:
For one thing, we've got better
pass protection. Also we didn't
get down to the goal line and
fiddle around against Yale like we
did last year. We are better often
sively all around as far as run
ming attack, too"
The main trouble with the
offense against Yale was penalties
and Coach Erdelatz insisted it
wasn't caused by faulty timing
1T was one man jumping the gun
one lineman five times-and not
the line as a unit"
Navy will have only one ailing
player out of its 80, Right Half
back Frank Brady. He still is
bothered by a hip bruise which
held him to limited duty against
Yale.
