The WAY I SEE IT
★ BY NELL DODSON RUSSELL
NEW YORK CITY—I reprint the following verbatim from Ed
Sullivan's column in the New York Dally News of October 10th, 1951:
"No minority group In the country, within the past ten yean,
has made the advances scored by Negroes,"
lena Home told Ted Kirkpatrick of Counter
attack, “and we would have made even greater
advances if the Communists didn’t deliberately
try to confuse the issue and stir agitation.
Communism offen nothing to the Negro and
the United States offen everything. If I could
address young Negro performers, I’d warn
them against allying themselves with Commie
front organiiations; I’d warn them explicitly to
resign immediately from any organisation in
filtrated by Commies and above all, I’d warn
them not to permit the use of their names on
letterheads until they check the sponsorship. The main thing for
Negroes to do is fight actively against the Commies, not pas
sively. That's what I intend to do from now on.”
"The World Series and even the playoff games dramatised the
advance of the Negro, under the American system,” continued Lena.
"Jackie Robinson, Monte Irvin, Newcombe, Campanella, Mays and
Henry Thompson are the best answers to Paul Robeson’s agitation.
Robeson, for whom I once had great admiration, does not speak for
the American Negro, as Jackie Robinson told the House Committee
on Un-American Activities and I would tell them if invited. Agitators,
however, will always be with us. The other night, an unauthorised
group of whites from AGVA (American Guild of Variety Artists)
visited me to start trouble in night clubs which don’t permit Negro
patrons. I’ll give you their names and you can check their Commie
front backgrounds."
End of quote from Sullivan's column.
Well, I Imagine we all live and learn. Or at least we're sup
posed to.
There is something shocking about suddenly meeting fact-to-face
the middle-aged deterioration of a former top beauty or glamour
queen, even when it’s just the beginning of the crack-up.
I was in a neighborhood Super-Market last week when I bumped
into a gal who reigned as one of the brightest lights of the so-called
cafe society clique in the 1940’s in Harlem. She had a good position
and was not the bar-fly type of butterfly. She's married now to a
gentleman with a substantial job.
Honey, If the thirties spread Yours Truly in a certain region
they went hog wild with the ex-toast of the town! Even in my
more decorative moments I could never have been described as a
pretty-puss, and at times my streamlining bordered on emacia
tion, so I now look merely matronly and well-fed. This kid I am
telling you about is getting that blurred at-the-edges and slop
ped-over-at-the-curves appearance which, in a few years, will
turn into a ghastly fiasco of what was once lovely lure.
She had a cigarette drooping out of one side of her mouth and
didn’t bother to discard it when she went through the turnstile. She
blew cigarette smoke over the cauliflower, breathed it over the pork
chops in their cellophane coats, trailed it into the eyes and faces of
other customers. I have seen a few things in a super-market, namely
brats who need a spanking, bad-mannered females who left their
upbringing at home and crochety old ladies who should be in a rock
ing chair instead of toting a shopping bag, but I have never seen
anyone dousing the merchandise in a smoke-screen. Just before her
turn came at the checking counter, she pulled the cigarette out of
her mouth, tossed it on the floor and ground it out with one foot. Ugh!
It seems there is something depressing about seeing a once
glamorous woman hitting the downward trail that leads to forty,
fat and forgotten.
And sister, don't fall for some of the yarns you read tn syndicated
Broadway and Hollywood columns about how "youthful” certain
actresses look in spite of having passed the forty-five mark. A few
do appear untouched by the years as long as you don't see them in the
glaring sunlight of Fifth, Madison or Park Avenues. Pancake make
up is wonderful for the motion picture cameras, the television screen
and so forth. It looks silky smoothe in the subdued lighting of a night
club but when Old Man Sol hits it, the stuff cuddles into every line
and crevice on a fortyish gal's face. Instead of making her look
glamorous and well-preserved, an over-application gives the appear
ance of a well-furrowed field after a summer drouth.
One of Hollywood's famous " grandmothers” sat in the box next
to me at a baseball game on a brilliant Sunday afternoon last summer.
I was so fascinated with counting her wrinkles that I couldn't keep
tab on the business taking part on the field. They were cleverly-con
cealed cracks in the glamorous facade but cracks they were.
And who do you think Is one of the most dowdy-looking babes
I have ever seen offscreen? The same lady who got on the air in
Minneapolis three or four years back and made some uncompli
mentary remarks about Mill City women being such awful dres
sers! Haw!
Yes, you really see them here in New York. You see them on the
way up. when they’re on the top of the heap and when they're on the
way down.
FILM REVIEW: Louis de Rochemont, who delved into race
relations with “Lost Boundaries” tackles a completely new and
equally controversial field when he puts labor-management
troubles before the camera in “The Whistle Blows At Eaton
Falls.” It's another score for de Rochemont. Although the picture
gets off to a slow start In the first sequences, It turns Into an un
usually effective plea for tolerance In labor relations. The realism
is Increased by the locale. Again the producer goes to a small
New England town for his locale and again he uses the towns
people for the characters around which to weave his story.
Lloyd Bridges plays the role of Brad Adams, a militant young
union head at a plastic factory. The plant president, faced with the
choice of cutting costs or closing, puts it squarely before Brad that
he will have to lay off half of the workers if he brings in new ma
chines to cut production costs. Adams is fair-minded enough to see
the management side but he can’t go along with the lay off. Before
a final decision is made, the plant president is killed in an air crash,
and the widow asks Brad to take over as head of the plant.
Although this would be rather far-fetched In a factory in a large
industrial center, it is plausible in a small town where people have
grown up together and know each other intimately. Thus Brad
Adams finds the shoe on the other foot He is in the tough position of
having to try and keep faith with the union at the same time he has
to run a business. Before the final solution is worked out, union hot
heads stir up feeling to such a pitch that a man loses his life and the
workers of the town are divided. The situation is made more tense
by the under-handed tactics of a selfish, grasping production mana
ger whose job Brad took over when the head of the plant was killed.
"The Whistle Blows At Eaton Falls” Is not an attempt to
justify management or condemn hot-beaded unionism. It Is a
pretty unbiased picture of both aides, allowing for Hollywood
gimmicks, of course.
The picture will not be popular with lefty union agitators who
have thrived on setting labor against management, so of course it
won't receive very good reception from certain lefty press critics.
If you are a member of a union, "The Whistle Blows at Eaton
Falls" will give you food for thought. Even if you aren’t, it should
prove suspenseful, entertaining and certainly worth an evening's
viewing.
