THE SIX WORST FILMS OF 1931

lous than those of general, king, scter-
tint, or ar'tis't, buys right's to literary

all .come :to.? Merely the. cheap sex
storyl
Hollywood has one Almighty it
swears by. This is luxury, against
which background sex flourishes. But
luxury, the fashion parade, great hails,
servants polishing the ladies' toe nails,
etc., for these Hlollywuad stands; as
'for anything else--lbe it .economics,
politics, science, medical ,discoveries,
the ordinary and ye't so human .and
intense wear and tear of life, or what
you will, it has no eye nor ear—the
disdain, really of a drunken reveller.
Yet it remains a truth, even of the
elements in w'hic'h Hollywood. is so
ntuc'h interested, that time, ease, and.
a reasonable amount of money do op-
en opportunity for instincts of love,
art and beauty which might otherwise
he lost.
(But if Hollwood ever heard of this
finer 'interpretation of what it is so in
Tprested in, no evidence of it is visible
.n the',boxoffice hits of the year. Rath-
er luxury on, the screen exists merely
for its own sake. Characters bask in'
sheer silks, on Oriental rugs amid pa
lat"ral environments. Never is it an
inspiration to something more pleas-
ing to the mind, more useful or aes-'
'thetic. Yet people accept the grand
show—crowd to it by the millions,,
and why? Because America, with all'
its prosperity talk, , is luxury -starved.;
Hence the man with twenty-five cents

are colorful and strange and even
be'au'tiful. But does Hollywood know
that? Can it be oracle to see? No, it
'cannot. For its head is as empty as
its purse is full.
Not only empty luxury, but empty
faces. The .cheap sex story depends
on the, beautiful features of the stars'
(faces, and on that alone to arouse the

to 01d - Timo flgatity.
Not long ago several sketches of
the Old Fort, TOrinito, made by a
British ofeeer in the year 1805, were
discovered in:'-uing'lassd,. As tkie dt'avr
inks are ilio hilly p.ietures of the .tori
of that period, thoy are most valuable
historically isa sli0wln; the: various
buildings of -the gat won etght years
before the Am_r'letn: de„troyed it.
Hitherto, there had been some doubt
as to just "what the fort looked like
in the first decade of the nineteenth
century. The sketches purchased by
Mr. 'Doughty . of the Canadian Ar-
chives, Ottawa, weave, in part, repro-
duced in the press at the time, and if
at some future date Torontonians
might desire to reconstruct the most
historic landmark in that city, the
drawings would furnish the inform-
ation desired, says an article in the
Toronto Telegram.
In this connection it is interesttag
to see that a quaint old engraving
discovered in the Bodleian. Library at
Oxford University is being studied for
the regpreation of part' of Wiliiamc
burg, the ancient capital of Virginia.
A research workerengaged in obtain-
ing information for the restoration to
Williamsburg by John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., of much el its old Colonial dig-
nity, .found an engraved copper plate
among the Bodleian records:. This
discovery has been regarded as the
most important step in the entire 'e -
search, it seems.
On the plate is engraved a view of
the first capitol. known as such, in
North America -- older by far than
the first capitol in Washington, which
was burned down by a British force
in 1814, se a return call for the burn-
ing of the Parliament Buildings
York (Toronto), less' than a year be-
fore. Another view shows the first'
royal governor's palace in the former
American Colonies; a third depicts
the oldest academic building in the
Colonies; a fourth, the first Indian
school, Another shows the house of
the president of William and Mary
College—the latter an institution
still flourishing, and from ! which

main building of a Vir 'Ian college,
he
which was named after tliam of
Orange and his th
rrr
g d neon, are th
queen,
major buildings of the restoiion
For snore than two years reseatoh
workers had sought accurate views o
these three buildings, searching every
possible source in America and Eng-
land. The Bodleian plate provided
all in a single find.
The discovery was made by Miss
Mary Goodwin, of Williamsburg, and
a print was immediately made from
the engraving and transmitted by ra-
dio to the united States, Restoration
officials, however, reported that their
architects,' working chiefly from writ-
ten records and archaeological Imo-
ings, had prepared drawings before
the discovery was made, which ar.
now found to be almost identical witl
the engraved views. The plate is,
nevertheless, held to be most valu-
able as corroborative evidence.
Apparently no other authentic pic-
ture of the buildings in that epoch
exists, the Oxford plate having evi-
dently been prepared between 1732
when the college president's house
was erected, and 1746, when the firs
capitol was burned. The plate meas-
ures about 15% inches by 11%
inches, and is divided into three sec-
tions, one of which represents some
fiora and fauna of the country, snow-
ing, among other things, a naked
man smoking a pipe, and specimen.
of that tiny marine creature, the sea
horse.
Brafferton Indfant•School, shown on
the plate, was erected in 1723, ani
presumably amplified in the ensuin•
200 years. It still stands and: is stiff'
in use, though for white college pur-
poses. The view of William and Mari

are largely original and the pictur.
shows the place as it looked after the
