He and Virginia are going to New York in January, and he'll sail for Nice, where he will meet his A little later, Virginia will Join them. She has some radio commitments first, and then there's a chance they may go on to Turkey. Ipar has really been handicapped by having all of his finances tied up. I understand he has a personal fortune aside from his father's money.

sf COME TO THINK OF IT, Ar- tura De Cordova would be all right as Christopher Columbus and the reason I mention it is that Sydney Box, English producer, has asked the Mexican actor to make the movie in 1947, Box produced "The Seventh Veil." James Mason's most successful movie in America, and for a long time Box has been flirting with the idea of filming the Columbus story with loca tions both here and abroad. De Cordova has commitments for 1947 movies with two companies, Eagle-Lion and Jules Levey, and he would have to get okays from one, or both, to take time out for company to be caned Clarion Productions. Under this set up they will spend more money than they do on the Pine-Thomas productions. Their first is "Me "and My Dor," a color picture similar to "Enchanted Forest," and they wijl search for an unknown eight-year-old Wonder If they had "The Yearling" In mind? Claude Jarman, is certainly starting a trend for unknown boys. Real Life Drama For all the secrecy In shooting "Violence," the Nancy Coleman-Michael Tj'Shea movie at Monogram, you'd have thought they were filming the formula for the atomic bomb.

But since the arrest, several days ago, of the leaders of the Columbians in Atlanta, the studio wants to proclaim to the world that they already have a similar story in production. The Columbians are a Nazi like group preaching racial and religious intolerance and had for its aim the overthrow of the government Strangely erough, Jeffrey Bernard, who is producing and directing, had his story prepared and In production before the true facts were exposed. THE STORIES told about James Mason are fantastic fantastic, because you wonder how anyone who has had the good fortune he's had can be so insolent and discourteous to newspaper people, or to anyone else, for that matter. One of my plays In New York tells me that among other things, he called J. Arthur Hank an octopus.

Not, I hasten to add that "Lady Luck" Is the worst example I could point at as a film that would have benefited from Runyon ministrations. It is simply that "Lady Luck" is only mildly interesting and never completely comical in the characterization that Runyon would have written into it. It is a placid and stylized story of the wise guy set and what they did when one of their ilk, (Mr.

Rob- Young) wanted to put aside the cards, the dice and the horses because of a girl (Miss Barbara Hale). As I was saying, Runyon had a way with such romance that "Lady Luck" misses to a great extent, although In Mr. James Gleasoji and Mr. Teddy Hart it owns a pair of citizens that would have drawn a lusty nod of approval from the late sage ol Lindy's, and the same goes for the fidgity Mr. Frank Morgan, gambling grandsire of the same Miss Hale who brings the great light of responsibility to Mr.

Young. Gambling Bride The manner in which Authors Frank Fenton and Lynn Root have managed their narrative is to entice the bride ot their re formed comrade into games of chance, thereby bringing the wagering oiooa oi ner grana pappy to the fore, and eliciting the usual complications and mis understandings before finis is sounded on the customary happy note. Pleasant, with reservations, is probably the right tag for "Lady Luck." Part of the reservations are occasioned by Mr, Young being cast in the title role, a mistake that takes on added importance when one considers the right-at-home playing of the Messrs. Morgan, Gleason and Hart, especially the latter as a $2 dice thrower. "Lady Luck" could have used considerably more of Mr.

Hart Miss Hale's Inexperience is an other burden that "Lady Luck" can't overcome, and her sudden rise to be the gambling queen of Las Vegas is also a hard one to swallow, a hazard that tne late Old Master, Damon Runyon, would have surmounted in far smoother perhaps chopping it to considerable less than the grandiose manner of the current instance. If you're not too particular, you may safely take a chance on "Lady Luck," althought the odds would have been far shorter had the script been blessed with the Runyon originality Vets Group to Elect The Hill Top Army and Navy Association will elect officers at their meeting tomorrow in the association hall, 325 Hays Mt Oliver.

Nathan's charts sho'iiig a high rate of earnings on net worth, as compared with pre war slack years, also begs the Issue of Inflation. For reasons oi accounting conservatism, "com panies still carry their assets, which constitute net worth, at unlnflated prewar dollars, but their current income and current profit, are expressed in terms Oi depreciated 1946 dollars. This in volves the old statistical fallacy of comparing horses and apples, From the standpoint of deter mining whether. the profit item is currently so large as to be a threat to the ability of groups of industrial workers, farmers. civil servants, independent businessmen and others to employ one another through exchanging the products of their year's work, it is essential to determine whether owners, or stockholders, are taking a larger than custom ary slice out of the national eco nomic pie.

This can be tested from tyo viewpoints. First, Is profit, or the wage payment to owners for the use oi tools, taking a larger than normal ratio of the sales dollar? U. S. Department of Commerce estimates for 1946 Indicate that profit for all manufacturing industries will amount to 2.7 per cent of the sales dollar, which is the lowest ratio since 1938. Secondly, another Important test is whether total profit, in eluding dividends and corporate savings, is taking a bigger ratio of the total national income than in normal years.

Government figures for .1946 are not yet reaoy, but for 1945 the latest available year corporate profits after taxes, amounted to 5.1 per cent of the national income, as compared to 9.0 per cent in 1929. The average ratio for the years 1929 to 1945; including the red inn years of 1931 and 1932, amounted to 5.2 per cent.

Nathan forecasts, that unrealistic statistical ab straction, namely total business profits ia 1946, should, indeed, prove to consist of an unusually large number of dollars, the task of analysis would be to deter mine whether such a fact repre sents anything more than an- oiner "'P101" "BUUimi a 1 1. i .1 economy nas ou-en ijiiinicu. If the so-called profit item nas been merely proportionately inflated with wages, taxes and other elements of cost, then the ratios of business, which determine balance or the capacity of groups of specialized workers to employ one another through exchanging goods has not been disturbed. Avoid Panic This type of analysis may, Indeed, call for some specialized capacity, but the CIO has raised the issue. The nearterm economic outlook depends on facing it intelligently, and on not being panicked into unwise action based on popular misunderstanding of half truths.

If the estimated big total profits of which Mr. Nathan glibly speaks constitute a mere reflec tion of inflation, which" means depreciation of the dollar, then his proposed remedy is ludicrous because it spells more inflation. Paying more dallars for the same physical units of produc tion is a device for implementing and extending the Inflation, oe skyrocketing, of the cost of liv ing.

Understandably enough, this does not last long, although it has apparently been organized on a scale comparable with General Motors, and Ziggy's confederate (James Dunn) is wheeled away to the jug. That is all right In a way, however, because meanwhile ZIggy has acquired a Fine Honest Man, Navy petty officer, and married him. Shortly the officer has to go bacl, to the Pacific, where he is reported killed in action, but there is, it the Johnston Office will permit, a baby. It's a mighty cute baby, too. Well, Mr.

Dunn gets out of the crib by and by, despite the feeling that he was up for quite a stretch, and Ziggy is restless, and pretty soon she gets in the naun vi leaving inc dhdv wun sitter, an adolescent whose mentality plainly would have been taxed by a revolving door. And this is not good, because the adolescent goes AWOL all the time, and one night the baby falls out ot its bassinet. And Ziggy is stuck away. Aso, the baby is taken from her. What precisely all this adds up to isn't exactly tremendous, but it definitely is distinguished by some minor directorial flourishes (Alfred Santell is your man) and some sharp incidental characterizations, including notably the bobbysox sitter, two lonely middle-aged women and a few casual neighbors.

Come to think of it, you probably have detected these flashes of know-how in Mr. Santell's work before, and it would be nice if they'd turn him loose on something more promising one of these days. As a matter of fact, his con tribution alone puts the picture tn the general category of worth seeing, a thought you probably wouldn't countenance for a moment under ordinary circumstances.
