Frederick March In_

“Victory” At Prince Edward

One of the greatest novels writ- ten was presented last night as magnificent screen entertainment, when Paramouva plcturization of ‘Victoryf’ Joseph Conrad's stirring tale oi’ adventure and romance. opened at the Prince Edward The- 3W8.

1n the starring roles. Frederic March and Betty Field give their finest performances. March, as Heyst, who hides from the world lie fears, and Miss Field. as Alma, whose love helps him conquer his fears, are brilliant. Both penetrate to the very essence of the char- acters Oonrocl created.

The same strange atmosphere that pervaded the book, the old char- acters, the hair-raising adventures. the surpassingly beautiful love scenes, are all here in this pic- ture which Paramount has brought us.

The story, of course, is set in the enchanting Java Sea. and the pic- ture has captured all the qualities of the locale that Conrad intend- cd. The handsome Swede, l-leyst (Fredric March), cynical, and dis- liluskiied, prepares to retreat from the world to his lonely island, Sambrinn. vrben he meets Alma, the pianist in a traveling girls’ or- clicstrii, whose members are re qiiired to sit with customers after each performance. Alma is differ- cnt from the others. She has been bruised by life but still retains the freshness of her youth and appeal- ing innocence. She _.too. ls distrust- ful of life. When the obnoxious hotelkeeper. Schornberg (Sig Ru- mann). persists in his advances. March rescues her, and takes her to his island.

There through her love, she heals the wounds that liie has inflicted on him Suddenly, their whole world is theat/ened by the arrival of three strange "characters, Mr. Jones, (Sir Cedlc I-inrdwlcke), a cold-blooded killer Ricardo, (Jerome Cowan), ivhcse knife is forever thirsty for blood, and Pedro (Lionel Royce), a hulking giant with brute strength. They are after the fortune they be- lieve Heyst has accreted. How Heyst and Alma. prevent this murderous trio from shattering their livcs provides one of the most ex- citing climaxes ever told on the SCPCBII.

Margaret Wycherly. who appear- ed for more than two years in the Broadway stage hit, ‘Tobacco Road," ts excellent as the hotel- keeper's Wife, and also deserving of high |praIse are Fritz Field, the conductor oi the girls‘ orchestra, andRafacla Ottiano, as his wife.

John Cromwell, who was respon- sible for the direction of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" directed "Vic- tory” with the understanding and (refines: required. Anthony Velllcr produced it.

Canadian Red Gross Send Liberal Supplies

With cables from London, Eng- land, indicating that the Canadian Red Cross is pouring supplies into distressed and bombed areas of Bri- tain. Rod Cross women volunteers across the Dominion are urged to keep up their quotas of hospital supplies and woollen comforts by Mrs. Wallace Campbell, chairman of the National Women's War Work Committee.

" ‘Our workers must keep closely in touch with their branches for in- formation on the type of garments and the quantity required,’ " Mrs. Campbell stated. " ‘If the million Canadian women who are Red Cross volunteers continue this co-oper- atlon. we can match destruction overseas with production at home.’ "

The Canadian Red Cross in Bri- tain has been able to fulfil every call for assistance from any of the ' agencies distributing relief to bomb- ecitcivilims, Mrs. Campbell pointed ou

‘"011: Society and the American Rcd Cross are now the chief sources of aid for clothing, woollen comforts and hospital supplies overseas. Since the first of the year more than one million articles have been dis- tributed overseas. I urge Red (x055 women to keep up their quotas and follow instructions from their Branches.’ " she said.

Lady Tweedsmuir, whose late hus- band was Governor-General of Can- ada. has not relinquished her inter- est in Canadian affairs since she returned to England last year. A rlondon letter from the Canadian

Red Cross overseas, reveals that Lady Tweedsmutr is now doing war |work for Canadian soldiers in No. ,5 Canadian General hospital at Taplow. I Major Scotvs monthly report, ,whlc.h has just reached Red Cross National Headquarters. tells of the i handicrafts which are now flourish- ing among patients in all four Can- adian military hospitals. “ ‘A great number of the men who are able, seem very anxious to make little things to send home” Major Scott writes, “ ‘At t-he present time a group of patients are working on a large rug in the field of which is - the coat of arms of the Dominion of Canada. This is to be sent to Red Cross National Headquarters.“

Red Cross relief clothing is now being distributed every month or in any emergency, throughout the twelve regions into which England is divided for this’ purpose. Major Scott reports. Distribution is made Voluntary Services for Civil Defence and re- quisitions are filled for clothing, woollen comforts and medical sup- plies. Major Scott writes that " ‘the Canadian and American Red Cross Societies are the chief sources of supply for the W. V. S and to date we have been able to fill com- pletely any requisition which has been made upon us!" Workers in the W. V. S. Distributing Stations , l, all over England pin Canadian Red Cross tags to the articles of cloth- ing so that the British recipients may know the supplies are a t from the people of Canada. In he past 70 days alone, more than 225,- 666 articles oi’ relief clothing have been given out to the W. V. S. and refugee committees and further supplies of blankets. quilt-s, clothing and woollen comforts are needed immediately, Major Scott reveals. A total of two million dollars has been devoted by the Canadian Rod Omu to relief of bomb victims.

Enemy incendiary raids which caused the holocaust of london - early in the year. have made it compulsory for all buildings to have roof watcher: through the night, Major Scott reports. "'1 do not think it was coincidence that for three weeks incendiary raids took t- place on Saturday or Sunday nights when it was likely assume by the enemy that warehouse buildings would he more or lea unpromcted during the weekends. Since the first of the year it hu become compulsory to have roof watchers throughout the night and there has ,not been one fire of importance during the month. We have a, per- manent staff on the roof of our 9 own Red Cross headquarters and in addition the male staff, includ- ing myself. are taking turns in be- ing here at night.”

CANADIAN AIRWAYS LIMITED

Announcement of Withdrawal from the Maritimes

TO THE PUBLIC OF THE MARITIMES:

In i940 Canadian Airways Limited signed two contracts for four years with the Post Office Department, Oltcrwu, for the cuiricrqe of mcrllszi (c1) From Monclon to Halifax, Si. Iohn, Summerside, and Charlottetown. (b) From Charlottetown io Magdalen Islands durinq the winter months. . This necessitated the Company purchaslnq modern, hiqh speed equipment,- , the choice of which was limited by the smallness of the airports cit Halifax and St. John. The type of equipment most suitable was the Model 18.11. twin-enqlne ‘ Beechcrafi having comparable performance with the Electra 14 operated by T.C.A. The iolul investment in two aircraft, radio and other facilities necessi-

tated by this contract was approximately $200,000.00.

curried mall offered free of chcrrqe.

mail rev

Although these Beecher-oft were limited to six passengers, extra schedules were operated lo take cure of overflow passengers when there were sufficient to warrant it. and the Company cit its own expense inciuquraied c Sundcry schedule to icrke care of passengers from the Sunday schedule of T.C.A., and Operations of this nature must have ue and passengers to be profitable and, even under these conditions, it lakes considerable time to build up a profitable operation.

ln 1940 our net loss in the Mcrrilimes was $17,636.16, but we were hopeful

that we would show cr profit in time.

On March 15, 1941, the Postmaster General advised the Company that as at April l5, 194i, T.C.A. would take over our operations between Monclon and Halifax. This action was taken by virtue oi a clause in the contract reading

as follows:

"The Postmaster General also reserves the riqlit to cmnul this uqreemeni on thirty days’ written notice to the contractors whenever, in his opinion, the public interest shall require it."

The cancelled portion of our contract represents over 35 per cent of thoi

Company's entire revenue in the Muriiimes.

As the loss of the Monclon-Halifax operation and the continuance of the other routes would not enable us to appreciably reduce our overhead, we were faced with the prospect of such heavy losses that we were forced to advise the Post Office Department that we would be unable to continue cmy operations after April 15 unless we were adequately compensated in lorno other wuy. The Department then advised u: "thcri alter due consideration of all the facts" we would be relieved of crli Maritime contracts as of April 15th, 194i. In view i of this tho Company ha: no alternative but to withdraw entirely from tho l Maritime: after lowing tho public than continuously for lhiriun yours.

Our Company has a staff of twenty-seven efficient and loyal employees in the Maritlmes, of whom all but three are natives of the district in which they have been workbiq. We are cbsorblnq the whole of this staff at other points in our service. Our other obliqailons in the Mariiimes will also be taken care of.

We wish to express our sincere appreciation of the support and patronaqe , i qiven us by the public and the various administrative bodies durinq our stay I in the Moritlmea. There will be qenercl reqret on the part of all members of our Mcxriltmes utcrff at leaving to icrke up their homes in other pcxrts of Canada. und the Company joins with them in saying, that we are all sorry we cannot‘

continue to serve the public further in the Maritimes.
