Discusses War
x -
America's Position
In Oriental Conflict
Declared Strategic
Declaring that the problem of
war or peace in the Orient
hinges on the freedom of China,
Robert Norton, associate editor
of the magazine, China Today,
advised yesterday that America
adhere to its long-followed open
door policy and relieve "map
tension’’ in the Far East.
"The United States is the one
nation that is in a position to im
prove conditions,’’ he explained.
"It is up to the federal government
to drop the double role it has been
playing for the past few years.
America has maintained on the one
hand a policy denouncing all for
eign aggression, and on the other
has been the main country that has
supplied Japan with raw materials
she needs in her fight against
China.
"There is only one main tension
in the Orient, and that is from the
expansion policy. It is the duty of
the people in this country to help
restore peace or else someday we
too may become involved in a
greater World War including both
Europe and Asia.”
Mr. Norton spoke on “War or
Peace in the Pacific?”

By ROY METZLER
One of Hollywood's most talked
about films, "The Grapes of
Wrath,” will finally make its ap
pearance at the McDonald today.
John Steinback's novel was
shunned by all movie producers,
but Darryl Zanuck paid $50,000 for
the screen rights and Hollywood
dared him to film this stirring
story.
Steinbeck had the right to re
ject the script if it did not follow
the book and it is said that he
was keeping $25,000 on the side to
start a law siut if this clause was
not carried out. “Grapes of Wrath”
is one of the most honest pictures
that has ever been turned out. This
film tells the plight of America’s
vast host of migratory workers
and Dust Bowl refugees. Millions
of their fellow beings who never
heard before the story of these
people will hear it and see it now,
and the purely educational effect
will be well-night incalculable.
The story opens with Tom Joad’s
release from the penitentiary, fol
lows him home back to the family
farm in the Oklahoma Dust Bowl,
and then follows the Joads to Cali
fornia when their wind-blasted
land is seized by a financial con
cern. The episodes along the way
are faithfully and vividly trans
cribed as these people get shoved
around the country.
Ma Joad, the woman who battles
to keep her family together and
who takes blow after blow with
hardly a whimper is sincerely act
ed by Jane Darwell. It is she who
speaks the last reassuring words
as the Joads rumble along the
highway in their tired old truck:
"We’ll go on forever, pa. We're the
people.”
Henry Fonda enacts Tom Joad
in the cast which also includes, John
Caradine, John Qualen, Doris Bow
don .Charley Grapewin, Russell
Simpson, and Eddie Quillan.

‘Green Hell’
The idea of seeking a lost civi
lization and its treasures in South
America is intriguing enough to
carry the production of “Green
Hell” quite a distance on its way.
But there are unfortunately too
many farcical implication in the
sentimental conversations towards
the end of this picture for it to
register seriously with audiences.
The cast is good, including Doug
last Fairbanks Jr. and Joan Ben
nett, supported by John Howard,
George Sanders, Alan Hale, George
Bancroft and other competent
players.
Settings and atmosphere are ef
fective, and there is a spectacular
tropical tempest of remarkably
brief duration. One must also mar
vel at Miss Bennett’s wardrobe and
coiffure in the jungle situations,
but from a different angle. Miss
Bennett is always good to look at,
and draws as many “oh's” and
"ah’s” as she did in "The House
keeper’s Daughter.”
Pictorially “Green Hell” satisfies
and its melodrama is reliable
enough to hold the audience. It is
currently showing at the Heilig
theatre.
