ing games in st. Paul High school
conference? Quite a few mild up
sets. Mechanic Arts, a preseason
favorite, was upset by Murray.
Little Frank Brown proved the
spark plug for his team. His two
baskets gave his team a fighting
chance. However, they never arose
to the occasion. Louis White, the
other Sepia lad on the squad, played
well but his shooting eye was a
little off. Big Percy Zachary, play
ing guard for Marshall High,
seemed a little steadier than last
year. Percy, who had a good year in
football, will be counted on quite
heavily by Coach Cy Ettinger. +.
Harry Jeffra, the scrapper who
is to fight Jackie Graves in Mime
apolis the 18th, was beaten by
Jackie Wilson Monday night. VIII
son, a colored chap from Pitts
burgh, slashed a deep cut over his
opponents eye. From there on it
was Wilson all the way. Jeffra, a
veteran of II years experience, will
box Graves eight rounds or less
-. should the Austin mite win this
one, he'll be ready for "Big time"
stuff. :.

Pyle Saga
Absorbing

If YOU have been overcome by
an avalanche of hyper-heroic films
and fictionalized deeds of derring-
do on the screen, you'll be only
to relieved TO find such an honest
deal in celluloid print as THE
Story of CT joe" which opened at
the Palms-State yesterday.
This is the cinema saga of Ernie
Pyle'S book and if the beloved war
correspondent who died in action
were alive, we think he'd feel
justly proud over the final picture
product.
Because, as Gen Eisenhower
has said. it's one Of the finest
pictures 10 come out of this war
There Is a reucence about 1t, a
quiet, grim poNer and an absence
Of any hiStrionicS which are bound
to move you deeply
You have the feeling that these
are real GI'S fighting real battle
and not a Hollywood campaign.
Burgess Meredith, who is a
supreme actor when it comes to
tunderplaying has The role OF Pyle
and, what is even greater than
/ his facing sham bullets, is the
courage he displays when he turns
/ his back TO the camera. That, foI
an actor, is the supreme test.

to a terrific tale.
Equally as remarkable are the

William Wellman has seen not
only TO excellent direction and
careful attention of every detail
but has also supervised every bit
performance with amazing au-
thority.
If there's a false note anywhere
in the film, our eyes were unable
to detect it and the sets and super
imposition of actual shots only
help TO heighten the newsree
quality of authenticity which the
film holds.

Noble Tale

THE MOVIES are speaking as.
we'll of the living as they are of
the dead these days, Judging from
t the f. d d lie RiCkenbacker film,
Captain Eddie" which opened at
the Fox yesterday.
We think it's just dandy and
well deserved that Rickenbacker
should receive such cinematic APP
probation and even have Fred
MacMurray 10 imperSonate him,
but the story is little far-fetched.
It's a Horatio Alger tale of the
/ first order and should be noble
and outstanding example of what
Young America can accomplish II
it just monkeys with machinery
long enough and pays attention TO
its scout leader.
Although the film opens with
the crash i'm the Pacific and goes
back, by flashing. through the
lcaptains life, we found that the
early sequences were the most
disturbing.
Surely there was never such an
immaculate child as the infant
Eddie; never such Spotless youth
as the one Twentieth Century-FoX
has turned out. The only time he
gets dirty is when he's playing
tit-tat-toe with an old gasket.
THE REAL URGE
Mac Murray is such a nice
! Rickenbacker that he doesn't even
kiss a girl when his car breaks
down. He goes TO work on the
engine instead
! This Is almost as funny as the
seagull-you probably recall the
reported incident-landlng on his
head while they are drifting
around on the raft.
There Is also some unnecessary
theosophical conversation leading
up TO the rescue. which Is. OF
course, the high point of the film
This sequence ~ particularly
well staged and yuu can devote
your entire attention TO II. be-
cause you knew il was going to
happen anyway and there's no
element of suspense TO distract
YOU from watching the way II was

PRIZE EXAMPLE
! Knowing that Capt. Ricken-
j hacker has had a pretty exciting
; life. it's too bad that they couldn
have given the film little more

, might have helped, but, altogether
, its such a nice film. that were

SCREEN WRITERS borrowed
an idea from New Dealers and
twisted il into a comical screen
plot which Is the reason for all
the laughs this week at the Mlchl-
gan Theater.
The theme is on the "lend-
lease" principle, which accounts
for the title, Guest Wife, IN the
romantic marital miXup featuring
provocative Claudette Colbert,
Don Amcche and Dick Foran.
Without Colbert, il would have
been Just an ordinary picture.
But Claudette'S bair for mis-
chieVious meandering and her
aptitude for such comedy roles
enhances the production TO a
marked degree.
