ged discipline at sea and by his
love or beautiful Esther Fernan-
dez, portraying a Spanish girl
who boards the ship in Brazil
en- route to California. In the
best Ladd tradition, he leads
the crew in a bitterly fought
revolt against inhuman fog
gings, famine and disease. The
mutineers, in control of the ship,
valiantly chance hanging by re-
turning to Boston. There, with
the aid of Dana's diary of the
voyage, they are vindicated, and
and the fight for the seamen's
rights is begun.

Director John Furrow, recent

Navy, apparently brought much
of his ship-learning into his

directorial chores was a wise
one. He's turned out a hit.

Louis Hayward
Biography

II Louis Hayward, currently
co-starred with Barbara Britton
in Columbia's 'The Return OF
Monte Cristo," had any fear
that overseas service would di-
minish his film appeal, such ap-
prehensions were quickly dis
sipated. He had hardly received
his honorable dicharge from the
Marine Corps, in which he SER
we'd as Captain, when he was
given four major screen assign
ments.
His first postwar picture was
the mystery-thriller, "And Then
There Were None;" 1t was fol-
lowed by male leads opposite
Jane Russell in Young Widow .
and opposite Hedy Lamar in
"The Strange Women.
To Edward Small, producing
"The Return of Monte Cristo''
for Columbia, Hayward was the
obvious choice for the male stel-
lar role, for he had turned in
dashing performances In two
Alexandra Dumas stories-"Son
of Monte Cristo" and "The Man
In the Iron Mask"
The new film calls for Hay
wards appearance in six diff
ferent characterizations. He
plays Edmond Dantes, heir to
the Monte Cristo fortune, but in
addition, he is seen as a convict
on Devils Island, a hunchback
detective, as Louis Naplean, En-
peror of France, and in the

ouired something more than a
pious desire to do the Job or a
well-filled bank book to do 1t
with. The routine mechanic OF
HOLLYWOOD could never quite

splendid performance OF the
play.
The background is anything

.Pershing, 86 Today to Receive
Visit From President Truman

as was our participation in World
War II. Allied victory was painfully
achieved, but only after America
had attained her full strength.
Once again. we have learned that
preparedness is the guardian OF
peace, and particularly is this so in
the age of the atomic bomb and
guided missiles upon which We are
entering Let us not forget this i'm
portant lesson, but observe 1t with
national unity, so that our future
shall be secure in peace, and our in
f1uence effective in stopping ag-
gressorS from daring to impose their
will upon humanity"
Gen. Pershing has lived at Walter
Reed here since he suffered a severe
illness in 1888. Gen. Marietta said
Gen Pershings health is satisfac-
tory for a man 86 years Old
Gen. Pershing usually is up daily
but uses wheel chair to get about.
Secretary Patterson, who, like
President Truman, also served as an
artillery officer in World War I
wrote TO the general.
"On the occasion of your 86th
birthday, it is a personal honor
and privilege to express to you on
behalf of the War Department the
heartfelt admiration and esteem of
all who have looked to your ex-
ample in the exigencies of world
crises
Your leadership of our Army in
the First World War and the self
lessness of your counsel and guild
ance in the uneasy cessation OF
hostilities that followed Is a strik-
ing testimonial to a personal epic
of faithful service.
| May the reward for your en-
deavors be in wealth of happy re-
turns, not only on this birthday but
every day in the years to come"
Eisenhower Sends Message.
Gen. Eisenhower, before leaving
for Abiline, Kans., to attend the
funeral of his mother who died
Wednesday, also wrote a warm con-
gratulatory note to Gen. Pershing
1t read in part:
Your birthday anniversary brings
to mind the native military great
ness which f1ourished under your
leadership of the American Expe-
dictionary Forces and provided the
schooling which was to be a source
of victory in the second defeat OF
aggression.
