If it was the intent Of Albert
Levin, writer, director and co-pro-

Jean Cocteau is not the only man

he may have proved his point.
The trouble is that his plodding
confusion is never frightened by
the saving grace of wit.
This is truly a somber, moody
and eerie piece and you get bored
with the mood in half an hour,
when Levin has barely got up
steam for the long pull. He seems
to relish it, though. and plunges

have tackled such character, a
heroine so poisonous that she
would have sent the Borgias
screaming for their mother.
= This time. however, Miss Davis
set her sights too low with the
result that her murderess comes
of as a comedy caricature at
which there is nothing to do but
laugh, although maybe a little
eerily at that.
AS a matter of fact, the last
shot is one of Miss Davis Shriek-

may, or may not. be her own pri-
vate comment on what she has

Another Mans Poison" made
In England, is listed as Douglas

creates a pretty lasting impress
sion that Miss Davis should watch
his next job offer more closely.

The fact that it is a mystery
melodrama imposes upon review
ers a moral duty not to go too
deeply into the plot. This is al
lucky break for any, man VIII:
otherwise would be forced to ad-
nit that the story of Another
Mans Poison" is indescribable.
However, the film presents Miss
Davis as a heroine who lives in
o bleak house on the Yorkshire
moors, writes murder mysteries,
mains whatever men she does not
kill, and reserves the whole of her
honest affection for a horse. AS
anyone can see, this is an odd
type of woman and certainly one
whose personality suggests that
murder writer's should not be so
carried away by their work.
From the first dark scene in
which she makes a furtive tele-
phone call from railroad sta
ton, Miss Davis is kept in al
frenzy by her impersonation Of
this Janet Frohisher.
A woman less skilled in the art
of contriving best seller murder
stories would have quit right
there. Not Miss Davis Janet. She
keeps thinking she has an ar
tistic duty to get her life un-I
tangled and goes home to tell her
horse that, with his devotion and
encouragement. this is exactly
what she will do.
One thing she has not antici-
pated, however, is that waiting
for her inside the house is Gary

written by Leslie Sands. On the
stage, where Miss Frobisher un-
|doubtedly was not required to talk
to her horse, the key woman char

Under the enormously magnifying
eye of the camera, not even Miss
Davis can keep her from becom-
ing steadily more incredible.
Merrill's role. that of the man
whose poison Miss Davis is, turns
out to be equally exaggerated. For
the most part, probably following
the stage script, Director Rapper
confines these two snarling hn-
mans to the heroine'S Bleak House.
In it's limited confines where they
are constantly wrestling for guns
or bottles of poison, the surprise
is that two smart people never
thought of pushing the other down
the always inviting stairway from
the bedroom balcony.
Nearest to a credible perform
ance among the weird ones on
display at the Warner is that of
Emlyn Williams as the neighbor-
hood veterinarian. In his guise as
animal doctor, this man is really
an amateur psychologist. Natural
ly, he has a field day dabbling in

rill.

He reported that since the re-
storation of the Scottish Hierarchy
in 1878, the Catholic population of
the nation had risen from 332, ,618
to 748,463. He said that the clergy
now totals 1923, as compared with
252 in 1878, while missions and
parishes have increased from 129 to
333 in the same period. A further
evidence of growth, he added, was
the increase in the number of re-
ligious houses for men from 27 to
48, and those of women from 27

Archbishop Campbell said that
the Church in Scotland has nation

Rome, and a regional seminary at
Cardross in the Glasgow Archdio-

and the other by the White Faith
ers at Newton st. Boswells.

Bill To Aid 10000 University
Students Is Before Congress

WASHINGTON - (NC) - A
Federal scholarship program which
would help $4,000 to $4,000 stu
dents yearly to attend any bona
fide colleges or universities of
their choice is before Congress for
consideration.
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing transmitted the
proposed student aid bill to Con-
gress. It provides for selection of
scholarship recipients by state
scholarship commissions. Stand
ards would be set up by state
educational authorities, based on
ability and economic need.
Funds up to $500 per academic
year will be paid to individual stu
dents under the bill, and each stu
dent will be free to select any col
lege which will admit him. The
average scholarship payment, it is
estimated, will be between $500
and $500.
During a national emergency at
least so per cent of the available
scholarship funds must be granted
to students engaging in fields of
study related to national defense
or to defense-supporting activities.
In addition to the direct scholar
chin aid the hill nronoSeS a loan
insurance system whereby students
may borrow a maximum of $500
a year from their colleges or uni
versities at total charges of ap-
proximately 4 per cent. Repay
ment on the principal would begin
four years after completion of the
students education, and he would
have six years from that date in
which to repay it.

Denounces Report Catholics
Are 4 Menace To Scotland
Archbishop Campbell Tells 10000 AT Glasgow Meet
Church Menaces No One But The Devil

GLASGOW, SCOTL4AND-(NC)-
Archbishop Donald A. Campbell of
Glasgow denounced here as "cruel
and baseless" report submitted
to the recent General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland Presby-
terian) which described Catholic
ism as a menace" to Scotland.
The report declared that the
growth of Catholicism in Scotland
constitutes a menace to the coun-
try's Protestant heritage" and to
'liberal democracy" However,
rider to the report stated that the
Assembly viewed the challenge
without alarm and urged that it be
met 'in the spirit of charity"
Archbishop Campbell's reply was
made in the course of an address
to more than 10000 persons at the
opening of a religious vocations
exhibition in Glasgow, the biggest
Catholic manifestation in that city
since the 1888 Catholic Pavilion at
the Empire Exhibition.
Menaces The Devil
Archbishop Campbell said that
the Catholic Church is a menace
to no one except the devil and his
agents. He declared that the
Church has no political ambitions
of any kind, but merely seeks tC
rescue and preserve souls from
"the devils greedy and sacrileg
ious hands by doing that for which
she was established-preaching the
truth of God TO every creature.

These will be the folks-some

No convert will ever fully com

There are no words, no symbols,
no parallels which will quite adequ-
ately express the thing.
The Bible speaks of the woman

We live by His life At the bosom
of His Church, in the Sacraments

But in Oursler's case there was
something additional. Long before

Church, | had a serene conviction
that some day he would be a mem
