Director Tay Garnett never al
lows his story to lag even though
it is essentially a series of character
studies. 1t assumes its greatest
violence, of course, in the passages
which depict German sadism and
brutality, in one or two instances
with almost sickening reality. But
there is brooding sense of violence

THE Cross of Lorraine" is a
composite piece of writing. Ring
Lardner, jr., and Michael Kanin, its
principal authors, are reputed to
be indebted to Hans Habe's "A
Thousand Shall Fall for their basic
plot. The debt seems handsomely
repaid in that here is a war picture
which disproves all the unflattering
things you have come to think of the
cinema's imitation Of the worlds
most majestic and horrifying con-
f1ict. This time there is honesty,
credibility and humanity in the
moving account of spiritual re-
birth which is as heartening as it is
violent.
1t is big story that "The Cross
OF Lorraine" undertakes to tell.
Because the frame of it is small

The honesty OF "The Cross of Lor-
raine" is nowhere more vividly re-
flected than in its portraiture of the
German conquerors. Most outstand-
ing Of the unexaggerated i'm
peltonations is that OF LORE as the
sniveling, sadistic German sergeant,
a character of such despicability
that manacled men are inspired to
spit in his face even though they
know their own will be crushed by
his boots. 1t Is one Of the most
inspired pieces of acting LORE has
accomplished in a long career.

The humor of The Cross of Lor-

which the prisoners decide to kill
their comrade, a former wine sales

superman myth. The lawyer pro-

children played on it. They also had

them cookies.
One day before Judy went away,
her mother wrote a note to us. She
said that since it was Judy's birth
day she would bring some ice cream
and candy to have a party at the
nursery school. Joann and I served
cookies and lemonade, besides, and
we had lots of fun.
Later, Joann went away, so We
took the nursery to another girls
house. A week later, Joann came
back, and We had it for one week
longer. The mothers each paid us
80 cents a week. We divided the
money and bought the cookies with
some of it.
At the very end. we had another
party. and prizes were given to all
the children. Joann and I stopped
the nursery because we had to go
to school. We had lots of fun hav-
ing it, and so did the mothers be-
cause We watched the children care

area of At square miles. Cook eSti-
mated there were about 600 people
on Easter, but the important thing
was not the people but the statues.
Dozens of statues were seen stand
ing about or lying on the ground.
Some OF the statues were from
Is to 81 feet high. Each one had
the head of man at the top. In
many cases large red stone rested
on the head. The faces on the
statues were much alike, and prob
ably all of them had been made
in the image of a king who had
ruled this island long before
In June. 1774. Cooks vessel cast
anchor off another island. AS he
neared shore in a rowboat he was
greeted by swarm of savage war;
riors. He made signs of friend
ship. but the warriors replied by
raising their spears.
There was a great deal of kind
ness in the captains heart. He
might have ordered his men to fire
at the warriors and in that way
could have overcome them with
little trouble. Instead, he left the
unfriendly shore. No such island
had been marked on the ocean
charts of that time, so Cook sup
piled a name, Savage Island.
Heading toward New Zealand
Cook reached an island of large
size. This was to be known as
New Caledonia 1t is in the South
Pacific, well to the east of Aus
tralia, and has an area of more
than 5000 square miles.
/. So far as is known, Cook and his
men were the first whites to reach
New Caledonia.

One of the first things we saw
was the Statue of Liberty. Walking
down Wall Street, some of the fa-
nous buildings we saw were the
New York Stock Exchange, the Curb
Exchange and the bank of J. P.
Morgan. At one end Of Wall Street
is Trinity Church, and at the other
end is the Bowery and the East
River.
The Bowery is the slum area OF
New York. There one can live for
almost nothing. A room is 30 cents
a night, a shave is 10 cents and a
haircut IS cents. From the Bowery
We went to Chinatown. The people
there speak Chinese most Of the
time and all the advertisements
are in Chinese characters.
After lunch, We thought it would
be interesting to go to a movie at

such a crowd, it took us an hour
and Is minutes to get inside. The
Paramount is one of the largest
theaters in the world.

field of television
That afternoon. we went to the
amusement section OF Coney Island.
On the subway we met boy who
lives in Brooklyn. and he told us
where the amusement section is
located The boardwalk at Coney is
four miles long, and the amuse-
ment section is about six blocks
long. The thing I enjoyed most. be-
sides the different rides was the Wax
Museum.
That evening, We bought tickets
for the stage play. Life With

The next day, through some Of
my fathers friends, We were in

in Stamford, Conn. The thing that
| interested me most was the big
rotary presses. These can print
four colors on both sides of a sheet
of paper at once. The press is fed
from large rolls of paper that weigh
one ton each. One OF these presses
can easily print 5000 copies an
hour.
We did little shopping in the
afternoon and arrived home at 1880

AICe DeaI JUNIOR HiGh School.
I lived in Williamsburg, Va, for
three years and have only been back
here for year. But a few weeks
ago I went back to historic VIII
liamSburg to visit. Amazement
seized me al the change that had
taken place in such short time,
My gaze fell upon hundreds of
Seabees from nearby Camp Peary
soldiers from Fort Eustis, marines
from Norfolk and Yorktown, sailors
from the Navy Mine Depot and
Army chaplains stationed at the
College of William and Mary.
A strange feeling swept over me
as l saw them marching where
Washington troops, during the
American Revolution, had trod.
Then they were fighting and dying
for the peace of mind and heart
that comes only with freedom. Now
we are fighting and dying for the
same thing.
1t gave me courage to realize we
are not alone, that the spirit of
those brave men of T6 is behind US
IN this new battle for freedom.
