Golden Opportunity . .
Doing everything but signing your name for you, The
Lincoln Association of Life Underwriters has set up a booth
in the Union this week as a part of national drive to en
courage ex-GI's to reinstate their service life insurance.
Genial gentlemen of the association are on duty all
day, every day this week and they are extremely anxious
to help all ex-servicemen make a move which has been
heralded as very important by insurance men all over the
country.
To further assist the veteran student, Congress passed
an act whereby GI's can reinstate their policies by paying
two monthly payments and accompanying the cash with a
statement, made in good faith, that they are in the same
good health as when their insurance lapsed.
Here, then is the golden opportunity we all hear so
much about and so seldom find. Ordinarily, it would be a
cold day before any salesman, no matter who, went into
competition with himself, but that's what the Lincoln As
sociation is doing and we congratulate them on their in
terest in a vital issue concerning every GI.
So, when you stop in at Union to do that reinstating,
you might thank the boys in the booth. They're doing it
for free and giving you a bargain to boot! J. H.

During the past season, Mr.

Workings of Fanatical Mind Exposed
In French Production, 'The Puritan'
Classified
BY NORM LEGER.
(News Editor.)
What ' the critics have said
about 'The Puritan,' a French
film which will be presented by
the YMCA Friday at 8 p m in
the Temple theater, can serve
as proof that the movie is not
of ordinary calibev.
Franz Hoellering, reviewer for
The Nation, wrote in 1939, "story
and dialogue of "The Puritan,"
a French film with English titles,
were written by the famous
Irish author Liam O'Flaherty.
Moviegoers will remember his
Hollywood picture 'The Inform
er,' which won high praise every
where for its artistic and dra
matic excellence. His new pic
ture is even more impressive. Its
theme is timely and important
the workings of a fanatical mind.
What it advocates very effec
tively is tolerance.
"In a very short opening se
quence from which the directors
of our gangster pictures could
learn the effectiveness of re
straint, a sensitive young man
with a Savonarola face murders
a young woman. From there on
we watch two parallel actions
the police tracking down the
murdered, the murderer track
ing down himself. While he ex
poses his thoughts and instincts,
the commissioner uncovers facts.
The suspect does not drink or
smoke. He hates vulgarity. He
has resigned from a secret so- :
ciety of moral vigilantes be- !
cause it was not radical enough
for him. He has burned books
like a Nazi. He is a fanatic who
sees everything out of propor
tion. Gradually his psychology
and his crime become clear. His
victim and a young doctor had
been lovers. He had wanted to
stop the affair. Why? Was it
merely because their behavior
which is not shown offended
his moral sensibilities? There is
a remarkable scene in which the
murdered goes to church to con
fess, not knowing any more
whether Gor or Satan has in
spired him, but still rationaliz
ing. Finally, cornered by the
realization of his own motives
and by the police, he admits the
murder and his suppressed
love for his victim.
"In presenting the story, the
author, the director ( Jeff Mus
so), and the actors (Jean-Louis
Barrault as the fanatic, Pierre
Fresnay as the police commis
sioner, both outstanding) have
taken precautions not to be mis
understood. They have avoided
every vulgar appeal. Most of
the scenes, especially the meet
ing between the victim's aunt, a
simple, noble peasant woman,
and thi murdered, are full of
chaste poetry. In a cheap Paris
night club sin does not look so
slick and seductive as it does in
California. No, there is no abuse
of the basic idea of the picture.
It is a work of art in which
every detail serves the high
purpose of the whole, fanaticism
is exposed very humanly: the
sick state of mind into which
an unhappy, highly intelligent,
and honest youth falls in his fu
tile attempt to escape from, in
stead of facing, the contradic
tions to which the human being
is born. The film has only one

effect. One says to oneself: be
tolerant!"
A British publication, The
New Statesman and Nation,
commented, "The most inter
esting and uncommon of recent
films is 'Le Puritain' . . . it de
picts the struggle in the mind of
a young man whose normal sen
sual appetites have been over
laid by a crust of religious
fanaticism. Barrault plays this
scene. . .with an agonized, sear
ing intensity; his face, his
strained bearing, bear witness
from the outset to the fearful
inner struggle. . .the film is a
distinguished one "
A French periodical, Les An
nates Politiques et Litteraries,
stated, "...one of the most in
teresting films that has been
made in France for a long time.
"The principal interpreter
(Barrault) .. .takes his business
seriously .. .always plays some
what violently. The actors are
good. The unrolling of the
drama is well regulated and
certain passages, as the scene
were Ferriter forgets his crime
and his torments in the frenzy
of the dance, are of rare
beauty."
