1t possibly is conceivable that avid
admirers of Wallace Beery will find
their hearts made joyous and their
souls nourished by the familiar
antics he is up to in Bad Bascomb, u
a Wild West adventure which opened
at the Capitol yesterday. There
also will be those, on the other hand
who will be bored numb as frozen

Beery impersonating rough bandit
who is softened and chastened by
the love of Miss Margaret OBrien.
1t must be reported in the pic

of whom we have had too many

they use it when the occasion de-

occasion does not seem to demand
fireworks often enough.

HOLLYWOOD

John Ford's farm in Reseda, Calf
is in full operational swing. This is
the rest home and ranch for the
boys who worked with the famous
director during the war. John put
more than $780, 900 into the project,
which he calls Field Photo Farm
after his Navy field photo unit.
There are eight acres and 220 boys
are eligible to live down on the
farm" First payment came from the
salary John was paid for They

says Gene. Perhaps it's just as we'll,
because the material is costing 10th

for the old Sherwood Forest gang
He goes out in the woods and blows
his horn and all the paths and roads
are instantly alive with hoofbeats as
the faithful ride to meeting.
What happens thereafter is pretty
much the old war all over again, but
with the difference that the younger
Hood is there to help out. Handy as
he is with bow, and with lion-like
bravery, he serves the story best in
providing 1t with romantic interest
Robin, at his age, would look pretty
silly and unstatesmanlike falling in
love with blond, willowy Anita
Louise. Young Robert does it as
naturally as you please, with the
exception of a difficulty he has
speaking lines which might sound
silly regardless of who said them.
x y *
One of the sadder feelings that
creepS over the old Robin Hood fan
as he sits watching "The Bandit OF
Sherwood Forest" is that everything
looks so, old-fashioned it must be
out of another world. The long
bow, irrespective of the bowman's
accuracy, has comically puny
weight in the atomic age. and the
horse compares rather badly with
the jet fighter plane.
There is to be said for the screen
play at the Earle, however, that
its producers were not unaware Of
this. 1t obviously occurred to them
that great many in the audience
might want to laugh at even the

serious passages in the old woodsy
romance. They have fixed it so
that either attitude on the part of
the spectator will prove correct.
This is evident in the wooing
technique of young Robert Hood
whose method is much more explos-
lively Hollywood than it is fitting in
Sherwood Forest. The words which
Robert and Anita Louise have to say
to each other may have a stilted
sound, but there is nothing re-
strained in the other aspects of their
courtship.
1t is the older actors, rather
strangely, who seem to enjoy them
selves most in "The Bandit of Sher-
wood Forest" Such fellows as Rus
sell Hicks as the older Hood, Edgar
Buchanan as Frair Tuck. Leslie
Denison as Allan-A-Dale and even
Daniel as the bloodthirsty Regent.
They are like kids having a time

with Mr.. Beery, bandit hiding out
from the law by posing as convert
and joining the Mormon trek across
the badlands. This is an affair
which moves with a pace approx
mately equal to that of the wagon
train in which it takes place. Miss
O'Brien is not to be blamed, of
course. If this film had to be made,
she is ideally cast in the role she
plays in it. She is great actress
and young woman worthy of the
esteem, admiration and love of any
man. Any one could be won over by
her and it is not her fault that Mr..
Beery is man who crumples, not
with a tang, but with a sinper.
To give him sufficient cause for
squirting, grimacing, running his
hand over his face and growing to
hide a heart of gold, Mr.. Beery is
given a second leading lady in Mar
jorie Main. She fills her accustomed
role of brow-beating the man she
pursues with her usual harsh voiced
zest. Her zest, whether you ad-
mire her or not, must be admitted
to be a Hvelier thing than most of
the other PAGES Director S. Sylvan
Simon has put his players through.
