It'S absurd, ridiculous. Maybe you’re referring to another Wilbur. Surely you can’t mean the one I know. . . . Incredible, but true, Wilbur had committed suicide, and everyone who knew Wilbur—that is, every one except old Jacob .Tones—was bewildered and alarmed to the point of utter disbelief. But slowly they began to take cognizance of the fact and Half-heartedly realize that Wilbur was dead and that he had committed suicide. . . . What a shame . . . such a nice boy like him too . . . and he was certainly headed for big things . . . why in a few years he would have owned that grocery store . . . one of the potentially great leaders in the community. . . Why? Why? Why? They were completely at a loss to explain. But old Jacob Jones wasn't too surprised that Wilbur had gone the way he did, not a bit. He knew Wilbur, really knew him. “Yep,” mused Jacob, “in a way it’s too bad that the kid did kick off, but maybe it’s better for him. No more being disillusioned, no more being all mixed up . . . no more always brooding on them in tangibles, as he used to call them. “You never saw such a clean living, God-fearing, Bible-believing guy like him. He was raised by good folks in a community where the Bible was law and learning, and law and learning was the Bi ble. For eighteen years he lives there, so it’s no wonder all that stuff about Christianity and de mocracy fraternity, equality, and liberty—gets him like it did. Why, he believed in it so much that T'll be damned if he could see things bein’ different than that. “But then he leaves that little burg, comes here ... he shouldn't 'a done that. You see he comes here and slowly begins to find out that things and people ain’t like what they used to be at home, that the things said in the Scriptures weren’t coming true, that people didn’t live like the Book said they should. “The he gets to talking with a guy up at school, and this fella tells him that you can count the number of real Christians in this world on your right foot, that the place is just crawling with pagans, that humanity is doomed. “One night he comes here real late, and he has a book under his arm written by some German guy, Nietzsche’s his name, I guess, that’s what it said on the cover. This guy says Christianity is a re ligion of weaklings, that democ racy is only for people who aren't tough enough to fish for them selves, that the Christian turns his right cheek when someone slugs him on the left because he’s got no guts to slug him back. “Then the more he sees things around here anti reads of the war and such, the more he thinks may be these men are right, that the stuff he read in the Bible and his folks taught him were just so much blah.

By MARY ANN CAMPBELL McDonald — “Down Argentine Way.” In spite of a rather badly 1 organized story, which sparkles : and falls flat alternately, and a ' slightly gooey atmosphere when- 1 ever Young Love enters upon the ; scene, there is a real point in see ing the show. Carmen Miranda, the South American damsel, who i told the United States about “Ze i Souse American Way” last year, has a chance to show what she can ; do on the screen. Gaudy as a ma caw, with the general appearance i of a highly sophisticated and ex otic version of Martha Ray, she makes the show hers. Her sons are done in the famous Miranda style, her costumes are as over powering as possible, with yards and yards of beads wound around her neck, a red velvet skirt, and pearls and rubies, gold and silver dripping off her arms, hair, an kles, and waist. There also is a troupe of colored tap dancers feat ured, who are unbelieveably limber in some elegant specialty numbers. As you might guess, the plot and action are negligible, but they manage not to interfere with Miss Miranda’s cavortings. “Yesterday’s Heroes” with Jean Rogers and Robert Sterling is on the same bill.
