Opens Season
with 1870 Score

NEW HAVEN - New Haven
High School opened its l944-45
season against Capac Thursday
with an 1870 shutout of the
well-balanced Capac team, de-
spite a wet and soggy field which
spoiled many promising plays
for both sides, Clark, Of Capac,
was an outstanding punting and
passing threat to the Macomb
County team.
New Haven was champion of
the Little Six in l943, and will
meet Memphis next Thursday.
Z. F. Siefert is coach Of the New
HavcniteS.
At yesterdays game, Capac
won the toss and elected to re-
ceiVe. New Haven kicked with
the wind to Capac's 20. Capac
fumbled the first play and New
Haven recovered. After two
line plays Crawford circled
right end for 10 yards and a
score. The extra point failed.
In the second quarter after an
exchange of puntS, New Haven
drove TO the fiVe-yard line
where Radashaw plunged over
to make the score 1910, again
missing the extra tally. Capac
then began TO click and on a
long pass carried the ball to New
Haven's 20-yard line, where
New Haven held.
New Haven kicked to Capac
TO open the second half. Again
New Haven held and Capac Wa.
forced to kick. With Deman
and Doone running the ends and
RadashaW plunging the line the
ball was advanced to the 10
yard line where Doane smashed
off left tackle for the final tally.
Despite two spectacular 35
and 20-yard runs by Doane in
the final stanza the score re-
NAMED unchanged. The de-
fensive work Of Stern, at guard,
and Williams, at tackle, and
Radashaw and Deman backing
up the line was outstanding.

Ballet Dancer
Pleases London
With Hamlet"
By Russell Landsfrom
LONDON

LONDON.
An old Vic production of Ham

ballet dancer in the title role, takes
its place among the most remark
able productions of the war-and
has set going again the ancient
arguments over the play
Henry Irving and John Barry
more achieved the ultimate in the
Interpretation of Hamlet. Forbes
Robertson, Maurice Evans and John
Gielgud are notable among those
who, on a lesser plane, projected
the role with noble artistry.
But for each of those acknowl-
edged masters dozen actors of
impressive stature have had their
crack and fallen short of critical
standards The late Leslie Howard
played Hamlet in handsome
production in the States nearly 10
years ago. Lots of people liked the
show, but the reviewers were not
enthusiastic.
Disputes Are Recalled.
The disputes over that production
are recalled by this new wartime
version.
The Hamlet of the present under
taking is Robert Helpmann, who.
as one of the stars of the Sadler's
wells Ballet Co., is no stranger to
the role. A short Hamlet" ballet
has been in the Sadler's Wells
repertoire for several seasons and
Helpmann has danced the part
throughout.
Moreover, the born
Helpmann always has been actor
as we'll as dancer. He plaved
Shakespeare at the old Vic in 1887
and 1899, is with Laurence Olivier

Notwithstanding his gifts and his
sincerity, that he does not suit the
part. He lacks voice for it and the
temperament is all wrong; he mugs
his way through the mousetrap

oorderline of hysteria. So runs the
main theme of disappointment.

appeared yesterday at the Earle
Theater. Produced by Jesse L.
Lasky, with Fredric March in the
title role, it lives up to its title
without living up to its hero. There
is much humor in the picture, as
there would have to be with such a
subject. There. are touches of
pathos and romance is there on
a generous scale, and dramatic
snatches of TWain's failures and his
embarraSsments. They make an in
teresting, if overlong, picture, how
ever, and not great one as so often
happens when less gifted humans
try to capture the essence of a
great mans life. The impression
of that life which Twain left is
more vivid than the one which the
picture creates.
The basic, and sound enough,
assumption of the producers of the
Earle's Mark Twain is that he was
an extremely droll fellow Wisely,
they prove that by snatching bright
sayings-still very funny-from the
mans own pen and lips. But what
lay underneath the surface of the
man and his work is touched but
lightly in story that is episode

his first fumbling steps into frontier
journalism. The incident which has
been taken from his writing is
richly humorous here, but the idiom
is more HollyWood's than Twains
own. Much is made of the leaping
frog contest in which Bret Harte,
in some way or other, is tossed into
the movement of the story as
Twain's rival frog owner.
In this interval of life, the imma-
ture Twain is pictured as inspired
always by the determination to
establish himself as financially
worthy of his beloved Olivia, with
whose picture he fell in love on a
river boat one night.
The meeting comes shortly there
after in New York, through the
license of the authors, when Twain
is precipitated into lecture tour
on the basis of one funny newspaper
feature story which impliedly made
him nationally promotable as a
humorist.
Courtship, marriage, the death
of the Twains' first-born child, the
debacle of his irreverent speech be-
fore the impeccables of New Eng
lands library world, always his
overweening ambition to make
Olivia's life more luxurious than
any other, all these are covered in
subsequent episodes. The general
texture of the film here, as else
where, is comic with just enough
of contrasting pathos and suspense
injected into the story's flow.
I r X X X
In its episode way, 1.-The Adven-
lures of Mark Twain" covers spa
cious area of its hero's life. 1t gives
March, as his impersonator, an end
less number of humorous and dra-
matte observations to make on life
and men, and the pretensions and
shams which inspire his most in
fectious irreverence. 1t does not,
however, give him much oppor-
tunity to get inside the man and
illustrate the conflict which went
on there in spite of the films de-
termination to ignore it. March is
not to be blamed for his short
coming which deletes from Twain's
life SO much of its drama. He is a
very engaging sort at all times, but
frequently more like Will Rogers
than the man whose name he bears.
Mr.. Lasky has chosen we'll among

some of the facts of Twain's life.
Throughout thet picture, his sole
motivation is his love for Olivia
Langdon, whom he eventually mar
ried. In truth, that was one of his
deepest inspirations, but it was not
the only one as others have heard
the story and it looks like a con-
cession to the need to build up
Alexis Smiths role.

No doubt on the theory that
Twain's youth was happily and ade-
quately covered in Tom Sawyer"
and "Huckleberry Finn" the Lasky-
Warner picture focuses on his adult
years. Stress is laid upon how he
became a Mississippi River steam
boat pilot, how even then he was
a man who saw life in the laugh
able colors of one who was to be-
come a great humorist. The story
by Alan LIE May and Harry Sher-
man follows him West, where he
pans gold with another novice,
Steve Gillis. Twain was a man to
make the failure of prospecting a
droll thing, as he did later in his
books, and he did the same with
