but Christina does not reveal her identity until
she receives him, mjestically in court.
"Queen Christina" is an excellently constructed
picture. Each of the elements that make up its
composition are so co-operatively interwoven that
the resulting whole is complete and has a superi-
ority that most pictures do not have. Rouben
Mamoulian's direction is a brilliant piece of work,
and his handling of the scenes goes far to bring
out the best of Garbo's talent and to create good
psychological surroundings for the events in the
plot. The other characters in the story are well-
conceived and capably executed by Lewis Stone,
C. Aubrey Smith, Elizabeth Young, Ian Keith, and
others. John Gilbert does well except for a few
forced, artificial bits of acting. S. N. Berman's
dialogue is clever and well-suited to the picture.
Cedric Gibbon's sets give "Queen Christina" a
beautiful and authentic background. Adrian's
gowns are breathtaking, and he has overcome
Garbo's physical shortcomings very dexterously.
The photography cannot be praised too highly.
In fact, almost everyone who had anything to do
with the production of "Queen Christina" de-
serves a good deal of praise.
Particularly memorable in "Queen Christina";
are the snow scenes, which give a vivid impres-
sion of Sweden; the inn episodes, which have a
simplicity that brings out a surprisingly naive
touch to the queen's character; the magnificent
court scenes with the queen receiving her sub-
jects; the well-handled mob scene in which Chris-
tina admits the peasants to her castle and then
calms their excited state of mind with a few
words.
The added attractjons at the Majestic are a
Mickey Mouse cartoon, "Giantland," and a fair
news reel. -C.B.S.

Pronises...
A YEAR AGO last summer, when the
Democratic and Republican par-
ties held their nominating conventions at Chicago,
both parties pledged themselves to the St. Law-
rence Waterway project. By their rejection last
week of the waterway bill, both parties broke their
promises.
There is, of course, nothing very unusual in the
failure of a political party of this country to keep
its campaign promises. The defeat of the water-
way measure last week merely affords striking il-
lustration that campaign word is not kept.
The great similarity in the past of the two
major parties, the fundamental sameness of their
philosophies of government, have been largely re-
sponsible for the phenomenon of platform unre-
liability. At the next national election it is proba-
ble that two parties standing for two really dif-
ferent methods of government will oppose one
another. Conservative will face Liberal, in fact
if not in name. Campaign pledges will then mean
something. The electorate will cease to be apa-
thetically lenient with such flagrant disregard of
protjiise as took place this week.
Screen Reflections
Marie Morgan.........Ginger Rogers
Winston . . ................ Lyle Talbot
Grump .................... Paul Hurst
The current mystery murder film at the Whit-
ney follows the usual type rather orthodoxically.
Nevertheless it is full of thrills and humor and
should please the movie fan, although its solu-
tion should be simple to the devotee of this sort
of film. Opening in an abandoned house where
a mysterious death has taken place at a dinner
party 13 years earlier, the plot immediately
plunges Ginger Rogers, the heroine, into the midst
of the weird and unusual mystery. With two
murders to account for in the opening sequences,
suspicion is directed in rapid-fire fashion to all
of the surviving guests of the fatal dinner party.
The solution is engineered by Lyle Talbot, who
plays the role of the young private investigator
and criminologist.
Paul Hurst as Grump, the dumb plain clothes-
man assisting Captain Ryan, steals the show
away from its leading characters, Ginger Rogers,
Lyle Talbot, and J. Farrell McDonald. He carries
the task of supplying the humor in order to re-
lieve the tension of the plot. Considering the
limited number of opportunities offered to him,
he does very well. A typical shot: Grump imitat-
ing the weird howling he had witnessed but not
seen in the mysterious house.

comedy of rather old vintage, featuring Zazu

A Washington
BY RIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON -Back in 1922, when the Wash-
ington naval treaty was framed, some wit re-
marked ironically that Great Britain's share in
the warship scrapping part of the program was
easy. All she had to do, he said, was to tear up
some blueprints and fire a few naval draftsmen.
The ultimate value of those British blueprints
is represented today by the two most powerful
and modern fighting ships in the world, the post-
treaty super-super dreadnaughts Nelson and Rod-
ney. The blueprints, for treaty making purposes,
were just as much part of the British navy as
any ship afloat. They entered into the naval
status quo on which the Washington treaty was
founded.
THE lesson involved has penetrated American
legislative minds very thoroughly this year. It
underlies the strange spectacle of congress tum-
bling over its own heels to vote a naval authoriza-
tion bill--not an appropriation- without both-
ering to check up on actual or implied costs of the
construction involved. There was no record vote
in the house. The senate went five-to-one for it.
The estimates of the direct costs of the authorized
seven-year, twenty-ship building program ran
from $600,000,000 to one billion. Nobody could
provide figures as to what the increased annual
naval upkeep cost would be if and when they
were all built and commissioned. Nobody seemed
to care much.
*f * *
JY WAY of explanation of this seemingly hap-
hazard way of doing government business, it
is quite clear that the vast majority of congres-
sional proponents of the Vinson bill viewed it as
a diplomatic strategy step rather than an actual
naval expansion measure.
It made those additional ships authorized as
much a part of the American naval status quo in
1936, or now for that matter, as the British blue-
prints were of the naval status quo of 1921-22.
And in 1936 the naval "big five" are to sit down
around a conference table again for naval limita-
tions discussion.

Introduzione e Finale
Maud Okkelberg
WHEREAS. the men of the Faculty have been
vprominent, in the Sunday aternooni series of
concerts, this afternoon, three women of the
Faculty will appear on the progan: Maud 0-
kelbereg pianis TlThna Lewis, sopanio, and Ava
Comin Case, IiaisA, wI will acompany Miss
Lewis
Mrs. Okkelberg has chosen to open her first
part of the program with the ever-refreshing In-
termezzo in A-major from Brahlms opus 76. Brief,
deceptively simple, it has a warm current of
melody that gives it charm and poignancy. The
Capriccio from the same group of small pieces
has more energy and more sweep. Of Chopin's
F-minor Balade ("the glorious fourth", Huneker
says, "This is Chopin in his most reflective yet
lyric mood; lyricism is its keynote, plus self-ab-
sorption, a suppressed feeling.,., n TIhe theme
has the elusive charm- of a slow mournful vase."
Miss Lewis has selected five songs from a col-
lection of 20 "popular" Spanish songs of Joacquin
Nin, a contemporary Spanish musician. These
songs are based on airs that are traditional among
Spanish peoples for songs or dances; their tricky
rhythms involve their folk melodies, and are
much more intricate than the swinging rhythms
that we associate with Spanish dances. "Pano"
is a song and "danse d'allure," somewhat lively.
The actual origin of the word is somewhat obscure
but is applied generically to a song or dance. El
Vito is an Andalusian "danse d'allure," quick and
sprightly; it has two uses here, it is the tradi-
tional music and the words occur in the song.
Garcia Manuel, an Andalusian singer and com-
poser, wrote the poem of Polo which is used here.
"Polo" was used as much for dance as song, but
has come to be limited to the song, especially, as
a serenade. The French translation of "Villan-
cico" Catalan is "Noel" Catalan. Nin says in his
foreword to the songs "that the piano settings are
not "harmonizations," but styizations of the
music.
A Sonate Balade, by the contemporary Rus-
sian Medtner, will be Mrs. Okkelberg's final se-
lection. Medtner's music "is firmly rooted in
tradition. He does not break new ground, but
rather expands the old system. He enriches the
traditional by new idiomatic resources, he does
not destroy it. His chief experiment has been
wit rhythm, and his novel management of rhythm
is the remarkable characteristic of the Sonate
Balade.
APPEAL FOR PHILHARMONIC
Have you sent your widow's mite to the New
York Philharmonic Symphony Fund? A nation-
wide appeal is being made for support of this
renowned musical establishment by radio, and
now by a person-to-person drive. If you have
followed the Beethoven concerts under Arturo
Toscanini's direction, or heard other programs
directed by Wilhelm Lange, you know the contri-
bution that the Symphony is making to radio.
Don't be a kibitzer; show that you have appreci-
ated the concerts; send whatever you can to the
New York Philharmonic Sympony
Canmpaign Fund,
Waldorf-Astoria,
New York City.

Co-eds, can you manipulate a can opener? Are
you reasonably intelligent? Are you a possessor
of dark hair and brown eyes? If you can answer
affirmatively to these three questions, you fulfill
about 25 per cent of the qualities that the average
University of Wisconsin lad dreams of finding
embodied in his ideal woman.
No longer do golden locks thrill the youth of
today, nor does an excessive amount of brains
have any appeal, according to the general opinion
gathered from a series of interviews with several
of the men students about t e nampus of Wis-
consin.

Garbo is back. But she is not so much Garbo
she is the strong, emotional, pathetic, amusing
ucen Christina of Sweden. For that reason she
the great Garbo, the glamorous Garbo, and the
)iritually majestic Garbo who stalks, broods,
himpers, and laughs through her scenes so in-
genously and so etherially that her work makes
yal subjects of mostly all who behold her.
Since "Queen Christina" is primarily a Garbo
chicle, it is natural to expect the subordination
historical facts, the relative unimportance of
ie other characters, and the centering of atten-
on on the characterization. This is largely what
as been done. One of the first scenes shows
hristina as a little girl being crowned queen.
