dreamed of empire, with leagues
of fenced areas in which they
could breed and raise blooded
cattle. They brought with them
soldiers and police to enforce their
claims to the wild, free lands and
the Gauchos saw no choice but
10 resist.
Calhoun is asked to be rather a
colossal symbol of the Gaucho in
the film at the Palace. A bene-
ficent patron has seen to it that
the screenplay's hero has learned
the graces of life. The tall, hand
some lad has responded to this
graciouSly.
He learned the amenities of the
great houses of the pampas, and
considerable of the philosophy of
the great houses owners. What
he could not learn was to live by
any other code than that of the
Gauchos. This requires that he
kill a man in an early sequence
of the picture, after which he and
the audience spend the next 80
minutes in the pursuit that is
inevitable in such pictures.
The way of the particular
Gaucho in Philip Dunne's screen
play is as torturous as that which
beset the bravest and noblest
souls of this country's own
frontier.
He is an untameable type. The
Jail into which he first is thrown
for murder influences him not in
the least and when he is involun-
tarily tossed into the provincial
army, his active rebellion really
begins. Here he meets an Army
major, played by Richard Boone
who looks just like all Army
majors in our Western films. Both
are equally hard, proud men and
there is nothing to do but become
|enemies for life in spite of their
mutual respect.
Miss Tierney is a strange type
to become involved in the life of
a Gaucho. She is the belle of the
hacienda. sculptured beauty
who apparently has managed to
escape the cloiStered existence of
lovely Argentinians. Once she en-
counters Calhoun on the pampas,
where he has rescued her from an
Indian kidnapper, she is doomed
Ito share his outlaw existence.

This incident of way of a
Gaucho" is thoroughly illustrative
Iof Gaucho ways.
Just as illustrative of their fierce
defense of the pampas is the
photography which Tourneur has
supervised. This land Of far

not fail to give man a sense of
freedom for which he would hap

On the vast pampas or in the
towering mountains, each foot
of the film is dramatic. Unfor-
tunately for the drama of the film,
the story flowing through it seems
constantly to be dwindling to a.
mere trickle. It's best moments
cannot compare to the dramatic
surprise of the Argentine land
scape.
The acting in way of a Gau-
cho" is up to the level of the best
in American westerns. Calhoun is
a fully satisfying representative
of the rugged highlands rider,
Miss Tierney is as lovely a speci-

deserves, Hugh Marlowe is a

THE CAST
Fumed Oak
By Horry Macarthur

The players of Arena Stage have
taken unto themselves something
Of q dramatic challenge, the pre-
sentation of three of the plays
from Noel Coward's Tonight at
$780, series. These were tailored
originally, back in the middle
'3O's, to the acting talents OF the
author and Gertrude Lawrence.
They have evanescent qualities
which often elude lesser players.
Still, the Arena folk manage

andler has applied physical move
ment with some dexterity to adapt
the works to in-the-round staging
and most of Mr.. Coward's comedy
comes through. You'll probably
have a better time with these
playlets If not accompanied by
memories of the late Miss Lawr-
ence in them, but there's not much
any one can do about that.
The Arena players fare best,
perhaps, with "Fumed Oak" pos
sibly because Coward Jared pretty

cumstances is difficult to un-
derstand. For this important
dinner at the Carlton lie Grand
Pillier (the big pillar) of the
Chevaliers. Jules Bohy of New
York, will come down to ex-
anime the two or three candi-
dates midst appropriate levity.
Perched on a wine barrel and
dressed in brilliant red and
yellow judicial robes, he will
try to stump the candidates
with questions about wines from
different sections of Burgundy
and which is best white or red.
MeSsrs. Howells and Grimes also
wear robes to assist at the
initiation. No one, of course,
ever flunks the examination. He
is not asked to join until he has
displayed his vintage knowledge
at the luncheons that take place
every two months.
While the wines are chosen
with a motherly love, the food
at the dinners has to be worthy
of the liquids that grace it so
the whole menu is worth mulling
over. The gods on Mount
Olympus would have enjoyed
this meal:
French canapes and beef and

a simplif1ed version of the fancy
French menu.
David Bruce's situation after
January 20 is referred to as
partially known" because he
and Evangeline have stated
more than once that they
wanted to go back to France
for another six months stay
when this job was over. They
still have house there, a hunt
ing lodge at Versailles which
they turned into a charming re-
treat, and unless something
comes up to change their plans,
1t is to be presumed that they
will head for Paris in the not
too distant future.
