Frontier"

''Buckskin Frontier" hits the
jackpot. The Harry Sherman rail-
road epic, which opens Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18, 10
and 20 at the Kootenai theatre, is
loaded with all the ingredients i'm
portant to an Al western adven-
ture film; this is the first westerner
to feed plenty of punchy action and
gunplay, solid, exciting plot and a
notable cast Of such screen stall
warts as Richard Dix, Jane Wyatt,
Alebt Decker and Max Baer to the
public, especially fans of outdoor
pictures. "Buckskin Frontier" has
the combination that makes you sit
on the edge of your seat, cheering
the hero and kissing the william.
It's story is centered around the
fight of Stephen Bent. Orchard
Dix to bring the railroad to the
west and to develop the prairie land
into modern agricultural country
His ideas of progress are stymied
by Jeptha Mari, who built the Wag-
on-train empire and is reluctant to
give up his power. Mars daughter
(Jane Wyatt), however, is won over
to Stoves side in the conflict, and
can envision the expansion of west
ern trade and commerce with the
coming of the railroad.
MARI makes good his threat to
stop Steve and hires a group of
gangsters to carry out his threat.
The exciting fight sequences be-
tween Steve, his ally, Gideon, who
is also Economically interested in
Winnie Mari, and the professional
cut-throats who are out to destroy
him provide some of the best scenes
ever seen in western picture.

relatively few characters which the
playwright utilizes the play gives the
impression that it would be the bet

Kyle Thomas, for instance, is hardly
adequate to Henry Tudor, who
for all his essential gentleness, must
have defeated Richard at Bosworth

The King Isn't Dead
Richard III, in Agreeable Guise,
Returns to Life in New Play

William Shakespeare's disposal of
Richard III as a royal monster has
taken ample care of him these more
than 400 years SO far as playwrights
are concerned. Historians, biograph-
ers and fictionists from time to time
have found hims worthy of their
study and report, but almost never
the dramatists. Not, that is, until
Victoria Kuhns ''The King Is Dead"
opened this week at Catholic Uni
versity's campus theater. Miss Kuhn,
student playwright, has revived
Richard III in three dramatic acts.
That in itself is an arresting thing,
but Miss Kuhn and C. US dauntless
thespians have not been content to
do merely that. The revival is ac-
complished successfully in musically
metered speech and with sympathy
which is bravely combative of
Shakespeare's dismissal of the tor
mented monarch as a creature of
unalloyed evil. Richard III, Miss
Kuhn ably argues, was a man of
evil, it Is true, but he also was man
Of good-the pitiable dupe of the
dualism which sometimes fastens
itself upon the natures of men.
The King Is Dead" directed by
Walter Kerr, is none Of your uncut
gems in spite of the vaulting ambi-
ton it represents at first glance. Not
entirely free from flaws either in the
writing or performance, it neverthe-
less Is a we'll sustained, dramatic
rebuttal of nearly everything you
have heard about Richard, from
whatever eloquent lips.
Miss Kuhn, not unconventionally,
conceives him to be another of those
backgrounds of good and evil. To
her, he is one more man torn be-
tween two loves. One of them is
power, with its throne, its savageries
and blood spillings. The other is
his love for Joan Stanley, with whom
ne can envisage happier life in a
quiet sunlit garden in France, a man
loving the power of peace more than
any other in the world.
The two loves represent a suf-
f1cient conflict for play, but Miss
Kuhn Is keen enough historian and
student to know that they would
not be enough She interposes.
therefore, the traditional struggles,
those Of Richard with Henry Tudor
and his old confessor. Cardinal
Boucher. The combination of con-
f1lcts at times proves too much for
both Richard and his sympathetic
biographer, leaving him looking
merely like a king who was ex-
asperatingly mercurial of mood.
These times. however are few. never
enough to keep The King Is Dead"
from being considerably more than
