"J

At film forum
Other Pictures
Scheduled Tonight
In Hill Music Hall
"The 400 Million," a film epic
of
by
warring China, 'will be presented
the Graham Memorial student union
this evening in Hill Music hall at 7:30.
The picture is coming to the campus
direct from its world premiere in the
Cameo theater in New York.
Also to be shown on tonight's pro
gram are three newsreel shorts, "China
Strikes Back," scenes of the Eighth
Route Army in action; "Japan's War
in China," a March of Time release;
and "The Problems in the Pacific,"
a preview of possible warfare in the
Far East. .
IKlliU T1S . tfi
The film is a tribute to the birth'of
the new nationalism which has arisen
in China, under the leadership of Gen
eral Chiang Kai-Shek. Among the
featured performers in the picture are
Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek and several
typical Chinese peasants, who form
the nucleus for the new movement.
Listed among the sponsors of "The
400 Million" are Luise Rainer, film ac
tress, who won the Academy Award
for her performance in "The Good
Earth"; Dorothy Parker, noted for
spontaneous wit and humorous writ
ings; Ernest Hemingway, war novel
ist, outstanding for his bitter denun
ciation of armed conflict; and Archi
bald MacLeish, American poet, noted
fori his extreme liberal viewpoint.
The picture was produced and di
rected by Joris Ivens and John Ferno,
edited by Helen Van Dongen, written
by Dudley Nichols, and was musically
arranged by Hans Eisler. Fredrie
March," stage-and screen "star, ' fur
nishes the commentary for the film.
NOTICES
While playing in New York, "The
400 Million" received high notices
from the Metrooplitan film critics.
William Boehnel of the World Tele
gram called the picture "A Stirring
Ode to the Courage of the Chinese
People." Richard Watts in the New
York Herald Tribune praised the pic
ture as "A stirring , pictorial account
of a people's struggle against. savage
military aggression . . . succeeds to a
remarkable degree in making the na
tion of China live and breathe."
In his column "On the Screen,'
Howard Barnes reviewed the film.
writing, " 'The 400 Million,' as it is
called, is a brilliant piece of camera
rapportage, in .which the inevitably
sensational shots of contemporary
warfare bulk no larger than the por
trait of a people and its cause. ' Both
in its images and the Dudley Nichols
commentary narrated by Fredrie
March, the film is frankly and elo
quently biased, but there is never, any
question that it is really showing the
new China, fighting heroically and
craftily against Japanese aggression."

Leavitt Addresses
Opening Gathering
Of Pah-Ainericah Club
"Practicing" Pan-Americanism by
learning something of the Latin
American language, history, culture
and geography, rather than merely
sitting back and asking what "Pan
Americanism" means, was suggested
by Dr. Sturgis E. Leavitt, head of the
University Spanish department when
he addressed the opening meeting of
the Pan-American club which has
just been organized here. .
. Dr. Leavitt deplored a certain North
American . superior T attitude , towards
Latin America, particularly the tour
ist's critical eye.
"TONE IT DOWN"
"Travellers ought to tone down any
superiority complex, realize dhzt
things can be done .differently outside
the United States, give up ideas about
timet being money, notions about ef-.
ficiericy, comfort arid 'conveniences'
when they travel, in South America."
Pointing out that, the term "Pan
Americanism" is not generally liked
Latin. America, but that there is no
good substitute, Dr. Leavitt said Presi
dent , Roosevelt's "good neighbor"
policy is changing the Latin Ameri
can's idea Of North America.
