EL. Kt CARL PCHBIAOtI. Pa
The ban against “Forever Amber” by several church organizations
will naturally give a temporary hypo to the boxoffice. I confess the
reports I got on the picture were so lukewarm I didn't have the slight
est interest in seeing it urttil I read that it was being
given the thumbs down treatment. Nuw that
\iewvd the film. I'm forced to admit th eporls t hat
x ' 1 ' • v ’ !,l k’ : ‘ l ’ 1,11 picture ' n< true.
The Outlaw” was just plain, downright .sexy ||F
corn and not worth the tremendous outlay of time I . 1 ;{
and monex involved in its production. It couldn't
have been clashed as a mediocre “R” picture. It
wa* neither artistic nor entertaining On the
other hand. Am be!*’ has
of an eye-pleasing technicolor job to gloHa over
the fact that it’s just two-and-one-half hours of
yawn bait. NELL RUSSELL
Certainly unless junior already knows the facts of life, there s
nothing much in it to corrupt his morals. Everything is left to the
imagination. Amber, played by Linda Darnell, hardly gets off more
than one or two opportunities to smooch with a succession of leading
men, all of whom the females will swoon over with equal fervor.
The continuity in the film is not too good. The action hops along
from one situation to the other with all the smoothness of a 1918
model-T bumping over a backroad detour. This is no doubt caused by
the attempt of the producers of the film to by-pass the rugged details
of Amber’s love life as portrayed in Kathleen Windsor’s book.
In the book, Amber was a beautiful slut with exaggerated ambi-
I tions. In the film, she’s still ambitious, still beautiful, but more dumb
| than debauched. The finale in which she finally loses her man to a self
j righteous brunette, should be a lesson to any palpitating bobby-soxers
■ who may think there’s an advantage in quantity over quality as far
| as males are concerned. Her illegitimate son prefers his pa, Cornel
i Wilde (who wouldn’t?) to Amber, thereby showing what happens
I when the stork pays a visit without benefit of a marriage certificate.
Amber proves she really is without her mental buttons when she
I tosses over King Charles 11 (played by George Saunders with his
i usual bored aplomb), in the attempt to coax Wilde back into the fold.
I King Charles tells her he doesn’t go for such shenanigans and walks
out, an entourage of yapping pooches at his heels. Amber settles for
one of the kingly stooges, and the film ends with the audience con
vinced that she’ll ultimately end up with one of the stable-boys or worse.
There’s nothing in this picture that makes sin attractive. The
only moral I could find, and it isn’t a bad one to follow, —take what
you can git when you can git it or you may end up not gittin’ at all.
Dorothy Maynor, the great concert soprano, has made a short film,
“A Message From Maynor,” backing the tuberculosis X-ray drive. The
1 short is available FREE to churches, lodges, and civic organizations.
In the picture, Miss Maynor, with the famous Hall Johnson choir, sings
Brahms’ “Lullaby,” “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” and
“America, the Beautiful.” Following the musical stint, Miss Maynor
relates her message for the X-ray drive, against a background of scenes
from Negro life. The film is beautifully done and worth seeing.
The Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association will provide the
film and an operator to any organization calling for it at MAin 5275.
The only requirement is that an audience of at least 20 people must
Im* assured for the'show ing.
The House committee on un-American activities should l>e awarded
! a medal for distinguished service to the American Communist party.
Nothing in years has helped boost the Communist cause as much. The
disgust of intelligent Americans with the three-ring circus provided
by the so-called “probers” in the nation’s capital has erected a pro
tective smoke-screen behind which the red drawers brigade can now
scoot and, along with legitimate liberals, have good reason for shout
ing “Witch Hunt!” In fact, the issue of communism has been so con
fused with the issue of free speech, constitutional rights, etc., that at
present a lot of otherwise mentally alert citizens are staggering
groggily around trying to figure out where one classification ends and
the other begins. That is. of course, exactly what the pink pants
hoped would happen.
American liberals are slow on the uptake. They could learn a lot
from the communist primer if they weren’t such scaredy-cats. The
vommunists make a deafening noise al>out freedom of press and speech,
but actually they believe in and practice neither one. If there is any
thing less free than a newspaper controlled by the fellers with the
livid panties, I’d like to know what it is—and I speak from experience.
Nevertheless, like a boiler factory, they raise such a convincing din,
the clamor echoes in the ears long after the source itself has been
silenced.
Liberals, on the other hand, do most of their talking into a vacuum
fashioned by their own timidity. They’re afraid of being called names;
they’re afraid of being accused of violating constitutional rights which
they themselves daily fail to protect through their own lack of courage.
They are constantly allowing themselves to be confused, befuddled,
intimidated and bamboozled.
I haven’t the slightest doubt that time will prove the recent
performance in Washington was just another rung on the merry
go-round. This isn’t an assumption; it’s a prediction.
Note to my boy, J. Robert Smith of the Tri-County Bulletin in
San Bernardino, California: Look, pal, we don’t mind you reprinting
our editorials, but for gosh-sakes, leave you print the credit, eh?

A card from Harriet Thomas in Copenhagen, Denmark: “Cannot

in New York, dinner jn Gander, New Foundland, and breakfast in Glas

for Germany Thursday, October 30.”
Harriet, who has gone to Germany to join John, flew from New
