herd of the Hills" is most interest
ing in its revelation OF what Ozark
people used to be like, and may be
like still so far as this reviewer
knows.
AS the picture illustrates them,
they were people who thought at
least two and one-half minutes be-
fore daring to utter two-word SEN
tence. In the first one-half minute
of that time, you will have made
up your mind what they were going
to say and the fact that they say
it so much later will likely be more
exasperating than anything else.
\
The new version, produced by
Jack Moss and directed by Henry
Hathaway, tells substantially the
old story. It is about feudists in.
the Ozarks In the mystical way of
mountain folk, there was an as
sumption on the part OF one branch
of the family that curse was laid
upon it by q husband who deserted
when his wife was dying. AS the
story unfolds, there was q justifica-
ton on his part which, could he
have been less q righteous person.
might have been explained in q
few words. ct might also be ex-
planned in few words here, but will
not because it might spoil your en-
joyment of the Technicolor and the
energy with which the players go
about their chores.)
There is story that Paramount
was inspired to make the picture
because of the vast interest in Trail
of the lonesome Pine" So far as
the photography of shepherd of
the Hills" is concerned, the inspira-
ton was quite worthy. Photo
graphically, it is doubtful that any
more beautiful has been produced
on the screen. Otherwise, the
doubts are almost grave
That they are has nothing to do
with the work of the cast. A better
one hardly could have been assem-
bled. not Miss Field as Sammy Lane !;
not Wayne as the turbulent, con-
fused Matt; not Carey as the father
who was trapped by circumstance
1--WE still won't say which one); not
Beulah Bondi as the bitter sister +;
in fact, not by any of the others.
But the fact remains that you
must be able to accept Mr.. Wright
for what he was, which. at this
point, seems to be an fashioned
story teller.
Evening star., 1941-08-22

and inescapably, no matter how far
ahead of it you may happen to be.
1t is not that the current screen
version, which happens to be the
third, is too much of a distortion
OF the original Harold Bell Wright.
1t is. rather, that Wright's feeling
on the matter of good and evil seems
definitely out of date. His heroes
and heroines, John Wayne, Betty
Field and Harry Carey seem q little
too white; his villains and villain
esses. James Barton and Beulah
Bondi, too black, than either have
any right to be. Moreover, the sit
uations in which both are involved
are much too explicit to make the
right motion picture for those un-
willing to accept Wright story at
it's face value.
&x&
That group, right or wrong, Is
likely to be most impressed by the
fact that Miss Field, one of the most
promising young talents in the
movies, and somewhat sophisticated
rs drama goes, can play the entire
picture without shoes and is able
to handle Ozark talk without ap-
parent lf-consciouSneSS.

A. Missimi, and Mr. Paul Belle,
which took place June 2s at St..
Aloysius Church.
The bride, who was given in mar
rage by her father. wore a tulle
gown with rows of Chantilly lace
at the bottom and on the train,
which was over duchess satin. Her
fngertip veil had a halo of Chan
tilly lace and was edged in lace.
She wore lace nitts and carried
g spray bouquet of white gladioluses
and orchids.
Miss Marie Radice, cousin of the
bride, was her maid of honor. She
wore a Nile green lace and tulle
dress and hat of green horsehair,
trimmed with peach ribbon. She
carried an arm bouquet of Talisman
roses.
The attendants were Miss Viola
Radice, cousin of the bride; Mrs.
Mary Biggs, Mrs. Esther Mancusi
and Mrs. Mary Raschella, sister of
the bridegroom. Their gowns were
of peach lace and mousseline. and
their hats we're horsehair of the
same shade in sweetheart style.
They wore Nile green mitts and
carried old-fashioned bouquets Of
peach gladioluses.
Mr.. Joseph Belle, brother of the
bridegroom, was best man. The
ushers included Mr.. Louis Stasulli,
MI. Louis Mancusi, Mr.. Mack Ras-
chella and Mr.. Paul Smith, the
latter two being brothers-in-law Of
the bridegroom. The brides mother
wore a powder blue lace gown with
q white hat and accessories and an

mother wore navy blue sheer
dress, blue hat and accessories and
also had an orchid corsage.
Following the ceremony recep-
ton was held at the Admiral Club.

Sharp Contrasts.
Several Of the numbers she gave
had been arranged by villa-Lobos,
others by Noises Simons, Romeo
Silva and AIRY Barrozo and one,
'Fado.' Portuguese love song, by
Miss Houston herself. This latter
was one of the most beautiful,
musically and in the manner in
which Miss Houston sang it, of the
program. Sharply contrasting and
calling for a vocal color foreign to
North American ears. were. in their
English translation, God of Thun-
der" THE Star is New Noon"
the Indian lullaby from the Parcel
tribe, the drinking song from the
same tribe. the ceremonial song
celebrating the death of an Indian
chief. the Cuban magic song. the
Brazilian "embolada' and Aqua
rella Brasileira."
All Of these numbers were with
orchestral accompaniment. mostly
rhythmic in character and with
strong drum beats. In conclusion,
Miss Houston sang her famous WOO
doc songs" accompanying herself
with a native drum and seated on
a dim stage with the only light
focused on herself. In these she
stands unique. exercising a potent
fascination that transports her
listeners into strange and primi-
tive mood. Her success was over
whelming and 1t was quite evident
that she could have continued in
definitely had she been so inclined.
She was recalled many times, once
to receive large bouquet of flowers.
Between two of Miss Houston's
groups, Pedro Sanjuan's "Iniciacion-
Ritual Negra" was played by the
orchestra. This movement, from a
suite by the Cuban composer, was
played Tuesday evening by the Navy
Band at the Pan-American Union
and hearing it from the orchestra
confirmed the initial impression OF it
as a work of originality by a gifted
writer. The program opened appro-
priately with Aaron Copland's AN
Outdoor Overture" and as there
was still some of the concert time
unused, Henry Hadley's I'm Bo-
hemia" was interpolated. In addi-
ton. Mr.. Smallens played five move
ments from Tschaikowsky's Nut
cracker Suite" as encore.

Symphony"
AS further indicat ation that a united
hemisphere shared the determine
ton for victory. the flags of the 81
American republics fioated from the
center of the shell in blaze of bril-
liant light. In tribute to our Latin
American neighbors. the program
was dedicated to the music of those
countries-from that of one of their
foremost composers, Villa-Lobos, to
the primitive melodies of the tribes
native to their soil. The interpreter
of the latter was the Brazilian So
prano, Elsie Houston.
The will-to-victory which the
Beethoven symphony represents was
potently brought out in the reading
of Alexander Smallens, who made
his second appearance here as guest
conductor. The symphony glowed
with an unquenchable spirit. its de-
FAINT climaxes stirring in their pres
ent-day implication. But woven
through measures of sharp accentu-
alton and thunderous sound was a
wealth of beautifully defined detail,
as strong IN its significance as the
more powerful speech.
Stirring Performance.
One hundred and thirty three
years ago the Fate" motif Of the
Fifth Symphony" was heard in
public for the first time. Today
those three short and one long note,
repeated in countless combinations
during the first movement and
sounding at intervals throughout the
work, have been given a meaning
heartily concurred. All Of the
righteous spirit Of Beethoven. strong
for Justice and rebellious against
oppression, lives in this work which
has been defined as representing
Outer Struggle, Comfort or Reas-
surance. Internal Struggle and Vic
tory. Mr. Smallens' sympathies were
keenly alive to the purport Of each
movement and he achieved its real
ization by carefully designed enects
of fine musical value. 1t was = stir
ring performance. with the orches-
ira giving of its best.
The unique art OF Miss Houston
defies description. In her reproduce
ton of native music she cannot
be emulated. for only someone with
supreme gifts of penetration, Of
understanding and mental vision Of
peculiar kind, could retain the
native characteristics of these songs
and vet raise them to an art level.
She possesses a remarkable voice
rich and emotionally expressive and
capable of strong effects both In
the high and low register. 1t has
constantly changing hues, is cul-
