Robin Hood’s Son Robert
Also Revels in Love and War
By Jay Carmody
What with the birthrate accelerated as it has been during the past
few years, it probably escaped you that Robin Hood also had a son. At
least that is what Columbia Pictures has to report in “The Bandit of
Sherwood Forest,” which opened yesterday at the Earle. A fine broth
of . a Hood this one is too, in the person of Cornel Wilde. He has his
old man’s way with a bow and arrow', he has the same kind of fiery pas
sion for human rights, and the old
Hood eye for a good-looking lady
in-waiting. Despite all these vir
tues, as a movie hero he is more
good for laughs than for genuine
excitement. He always is clearly the
winner in a fight that has been
fir^d and Wilde is hardly actor
enough to cover up the “fix.”
In making “The Bandit of Sher
wood Forest,” Columbia has been
lavish with the technicolor. In fact,
it has been so lavish that the pic
ture has two of virtually everything.
In addition to the two Hoods, father
and son, the screenplay has two pro
ducers, two directors, and two sets
of two writers each. Such gen
erosity may prove nettlesome to the
maker of the next Robin Hood
story, when the present son’s twins
no doubt will be the heroes.
* * * *
Although “The Bandit of Sher
wood Forest” (who never commits
a single banditry, by the way) deals
with the younger generation, the
old one is well represented. In ad
dition to old Robin, a whole slew of
the others also return. Little John,
Alan-A-Dale, Friar Tuck, Will
Scarlet and Mother Meg are a few
of the elders around the premises.
A little older they are, but still a fire
eating lot, and merry killers in be
half of the rights which the com
mon man won from wicked King
John.
It is from Paul Castleton's novel,
‘ Son of Robin Hood” that the Earle
pictures’ plot is taken. Since Castle
ton himself was a party to the tak
ing as one of the screen-writers it
probably follows the original closely.
The tale it has to tell is of the evil
Regent (Henry Daniell) who ruled
England during the boyhood of
King William. It is the Regent's first
idea of governing that the Magna
Charta should be obrogated, that
liberty and dignity should be re
placed by serfdom. Old Robin Hood,
now the Earle of Nottinghom, re
ceives notice of the Regent’s inten
tion with a new summons to arms

THE BANDIT OF SHERWOOD FOR
EST.” a Columbia Picture with Cornel
Wnde. produced by Leonard S. Picker and

Sherman and Henry Levin, screenplay by

for the old Sherwood Forest gang.
He goes out in the woods and blows
his horn and all the paths and roads
are instantly alive with hoofbeats as
the faithful ride to meeting.
What happens thereafter is pretty
much the old war all over again, but
with the difference that the younger
Hood is there to help out. Handy as
he is with a bow, and with lion-like
bravery, he serves the story best in
providing it with romantic interest.
Robin, at his age, would look pretty
silly and unstatesmanlike falling in
love with blond, willowy Anita
Louise. Young Robert does it as
naturally as you please, with the
exception of a difficulty he has
speaking lines which might sound
silly regardless of who said them.
* * * *
One of the sadder feelings that
creeps over the old Robin Hood fan
as he sits watching “The Bandit of
Sherwood Forest" is that everything
looks so. old-fashioned it must be
out of another world. The long
bow, irrespective of the bowman’s
accuracy, has a comically puny
weight in the atomic age, and the
horse compares rather badly with
the jet fighter plane.
There is to be said for the screen
play at the Earle, however, that
its producers were not unaware of
this. It obviously occurred to them
that a great many in the audience
might want to laugh at even the
Miss O’Brien Woos Mr. Beery
In Capitol’s 'Bad Bascomb’
By Harry MacArthur
It possibly is conceivable that avid
admirers of Wallace Beery will find
their hearts made joyous and their
souls nourished by the familiar
antics he is up to in "Bad Bascomb,”
a Wild West adventure which opened
at the Capitol yesterday. There
also will be those, on the other hand,
who will be bored numb as a frozen
codfish at the spectacle of Mr.
Beery impersonating a rough bandit
who is softened and chastened by
the love of Miss Margaret O'Brien.
It must be reported in the pic
ture’s favor, however, that its tough
liombres do not belong to that group,
of whom we have had too many
lately, who stand with hands on hips
and attempt to stare each other
down. The boys in “Bad Bascomb”
know what the hardware’s for and
they use it when the occasion de
mands. The difficulty is that the
occasion does not seem to demand
fireworks often enough.
There is a gay little shooting spree
early in the film and there is a
hangup climax, involving a lot of
hard riding and some pleasant ex
cursions into fisticuffs, stabbing,
tomahawking, shooting and the
burning of covered wagons. The
United States cavalry even comes
over the hill to save the Mormon
wagon train.

In between these episodes with
life there is Miss O’Brien’s flirtation

with Mr. Beery, a bandit hiding out
from the law' by posing as a convert
and joining the Mormon trek across
the badlands. This is an affair
which moves with a pace approxi
mately equal to that of the wagon
train in which it takes place. Miss
O’Brien is not to be blamed, of
course. If this film had to be made,
she is ideally cast in the role she
plays in it. She is a great actress
and a young woman worthy of the
esteem, admiration and love of any
man. Any one could be w'on over by
her and it is not her fault that Mr.
Beery is a man who crumples, not
with a tang, but with a simper.
To give him sufficient cause for
squinting, grimacing, running his
hand over his face and growling to
hide a heart of gold, Mr. Beery is
given a second leading lady in Mar
jorie Main. Sfje fills her accustomed
role of brow-beating the man she
pursues with her usual harsh-voiced
aest. Her zest, w’hether you ad
mire her or not, must be admitted
to be a livelier thing than most of
the other paces Director S. Sylvan
Simon has put his players through.
This is not the photoplay a pro
ducer named Orville Dull ought to
put his name on.

The Capitol’s stage show is a
two-part invention (by Gene Ford,
not Bach) involving an elaborate
“Easter Festival” overture and an
intimate revue featuring the tal
ents of Patricia Bowman, Patsy
Garrett and Tim Herbert. Miss
Bowman is a ballerina of both grace
and charm and the brace of num
bers she has chosen for us this
time are well designed to show off
both her dancing talents and her
lightness of heart. Miss Garrett
has a rich, warm voice that makes
a popular song sound right and
Mr. Herbert is a pleasant young
comic. All of these doings are very
fine. Fine, too, is the overture,
which engages the Sam Jack Kauf
man-conducted pit orchestra, Lynn
Allison, and an able choral group
in a program of Easter music.

serious passages in the old woodsy
romance. They have fixed it so
thftt either attitude on the part of
the spectator will prove correct.
This is evident in the wooing
technique of young Robert Hood
whose method is much more explos
ively Hollywood than it is fitting in
Sherwood Forest. The words which
Robert and Anita Louise have to say
to each other may have a stilted
sound, but there is nothing re
strained in the other aspects of their
courtship.
It is the older actors, rather
strangely, who seem to enjoy them
selves most in "The Bandit of Sher

sell Hicks as the older Hood, Edgar
Buchanan as Frair Tuck, Leslie
Denison as Allan-A-Dale and even
Daniell as the bloodthirsty Regent.
They are like kids having a time
playing dress-up in old clothes in
the attic, a spirit you probably need

Mr. Ford Farms Them Out
By Sheiloh Graham
HOLLYWOOD.
John Ford's farm in Reseda, Calif.,
is in full operational swing. This is
the rest home and ranch for the
boys who worked with the famous
director during the war. John put
more than $250,000 into the project,
which he calls "Field Photo Farm”—
after his Navy field photo unit.
There are eight acres and 220 boys
are eligible to live "down on the
farm.’’ Fist payment came from the
salary John was paid for “They
Were Expendable.” He turned it all
over to the farm. No wonder “Ford’s
boys”—that's what they are called—
love him and will do anything for
him.
The wedding gown Gene Tierney
wears in “The Razor's Edge” was
designed by her husband, Oleg Cas

wedding in 1941. “But I couldn't
wear it then, because we eloped,”
says Gene. Perhaps it’s just as well,
because the material is costing 20th
Century Fox $30 a yard! Gene is
having her picture taken in the
gown, in a wedding pose with her
husband—“so we can show our chil
dren what I would have worn if we’d
had a conventional wedding,” Mrs.
Cassini tells me. When I say to Gene
that she looks thin, she replies, “I
