In the term just finished. > he passed first year high school subjects and, during the summer session, will study commercial law and typing. Just saw "The Life of Emile Zola" and don’t know how Muni can escape winning the Academy award two years in succession. His portrayal of the author who made a habit of turning France upside i down with his phillipics and who exposed the shameful persecution of Dreyfus, is superior even to his Pascal. Which is to say that it ranks with the finest acting of the screen. Warners produced this film with loving care. They can be proud of their effort, for “The Life of Emile Zola” is a big picture, a disturbing, challenging picture. It shows what Hollywood can do when it sets out.with a serious purpose. Joseph Schildkraut, as Alfred Dreyfus, does the most important acting of his Hollywood career. Vladimir Sokoioff, as the artist Cezanne, makes a powerful impression. Praise may be almost unanimously distributed to every one connected with this film. Chatter. . . .

By CHARLES MONTELL kternational Illustrated Newt Writer DUBLIN, Ireland—Possibly the most Interesting feature of the 1937 Irish elections was the manner in which it contrasted the personalities of the leaders of the two major parties. Since the fundamental policies of both parties so closely paralleled each other, the campaign early re•olved i '.self into a contest between men—and among those men involved there stood out two who have long dominated the political scene In Ireland, Eamon de Valera, president and head of the Fianna 1 Fail, and William T. Cosgrave, former president and head of the rival party of Fine Gael. Both are men of outstanding ability who have been rivals and | ruling factors In Irish politics for the past 15 years. De Valera is theoretically identified with the democratic and liberal factions—theoretically because many of his more radical policies of the past have been modified and many of his administrative measures during the past five years based on compromise. Cosgrave Led Conservatives Cosgrave is the leader of the conservatives and the spokesman for the right-wingers who favor effecting a harmonious accord with Great Britain in preference to the independent stand taken by de Valera who champions an Ireland as free as possible from the empire. Uke any ather electorate, the

The trouble started when a sqquad of 15 policeman attempted to escort a group of non-striking workers through picket lines which had been established yesterday at ’ the plant when members of the

Irish one is essentially divided between labor and the farm vote. : And the principal issue with both these general classes is which party will effect the most beneficial trade setup for themselves. De Valera drew considerable support from labor because of his ’ program of industrialization. His campaign to help Ireland toward economic self-sufficiency has been successful to the extent that some 1 200 new manufacturing projects have been launched in the past five years. He also established himself with the farm faction by virtue of the rising prices of livestock and grain. Economic Issues Paramount Cosgrave’s claim during the campaign was that de Valera's determined refusal to keep from paying the traditional annuities, and his desire to free Ireland, economically and politically to the greatest extent possible, has merely meant that the Irish farmer has shared ( less of the British market than he would have had the Cosgrave pol- ■ icy of compromise been followed. | All this, of course, de Valera and j his followers denied. Which was right can hardly be judged effectively until the end or | the present new five-year term. It was the economic issue, however, which was the deciding sac- I tor in the election. The opinion of the laborer and the farmer—interested most in the stem business of making a living—was registered at the polls, and Ireland is now launched on another political era. ]
