Judging the Movies (Continued from page 18) opERN industry offers nothing more dramatic than the manu- facture of steel. The vast, frowning mills themselves, viewed from the outside, issue a savage challenge to the imagination. Inside, the witches’ cauldrons of molten metal, the gangs of demons, naked to the waist, toiling in the glare; the titanic forces in evidence, the hideous hazards— these things make epic material for the motion picture. To “get over” to an audience they really need no extraneous plot, any more than “Nanook of the North” or “Gra: But if they must have one, then let's have it unobtrusive and genuine, and not the cheap, ridiculous nonsense in “Men of Steel.” Here's a plot that involves two old men in a spitting Foreman—Wot are you doin’ ’ere?

I told the chief I'd soon need a gas mask.” CHAUFFEUR: “We chauffeurs get it, too. But my boss told me to slip a Luden's in my mouth several times a day. Here, try a couple. You'll get quick relief.” NOTE: The benefictal and exclusive menthol blend in Luden's Cough Drops brought comfort and quick relief over a billion times last year to sufferers from irritated throats, colds, coughs, hoarseness, hay fever, etc. In the yellow package —Se—everywhere.
