"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.

NIGHT EDITOR: A. ELLIS BALL --a-paigna l g 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. Short subjects: "She Whoops To Conquer," a comedy of rather old vintage, featuring Zazu Pitts, Billy Bevan, and Daphne Pollard; Screen Snapshots; Fox Movietone News; and another of those interminable episodes featuring Rin-Tin- Tin, Jr. -J.C.S. 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. Accompanied by Ava Coin Case Sonate Ballade Op. 27 . ...Medtner Allegretto 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. -Sally Place ollegate Observer -- 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.

Aubrey 'Smith 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. L11 1935 JuirGirls' Play. with MscyfoSAND HIS UNION BAND 0
