Swedish Film Torment
Wins Proise of
New York Critics

NEW YORK, April 22.-The
Swedish film Torment" which
last year won the Grand Prix at
the International Film Festival in
Cannes, had it's American pre-
miere last night at the Avenue
Playhouse. Written by Ingmar
Bergman and featuring three of
Swedens best known players, Stig
Jarrel, ALT Kjellin, and Maj. zet-
terling, it created considerable
controversy when first shown in
Stockholm.
With the exception of The New
York Times, the critics warmly
welcomed the new production. In
the Herald Tribune, Otis Guern-
sey calls the picture an achieve
ment to be priced in any locality
He finds the characterizations of
the three leading players adult,
imaginative, and acutely convinc-
ing, and the script staged with
great delicacy by ALT Sj0berg
Dorothy Masters in the Daily
News writes that the Swedish
dramas sinister magnetism is a
new high in cinematic coercion.
Never before has it been achieved
with such great artistry or such
prolonged intensity" In PM, Ce-
ella Ager states that the Swedish
film is a work of art, "but more
than that-it is a deep and haunt
ing experience that achieves a
positive good 1t is as esthet-
ically rewarding as it is spiritual
ly stirring" Cue magazine terms
is "a rarely beautiful and deeply
touching study of the tortured
emotional upheavals of Adde'S
cence."
Dissenting with his colleagues,
Bosley Crowther of the Times
finds the picture dour and I'M
healthy in tone and that the tech
nique of film story telling en-
ployed is surprisingly antique. He
criticizes the heavy and sinister
shading with the lights, and the
grotesque angles in almost every
other scene, and ends by saying
that lit resembles nothing so
much as an old German film"

Reads EssayOn
SouthernMusic

Mrs. Andrew J.. Howell's read
ing of an essay Oh Southern music
highlighted Wednesdays meeting
of the Cape Fear Chapter, No. 3,
United Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy, which was held in the
Ladies parlor of the First Presby-
terrain church.
Mrs. Howell, who was once a
student at Salem college in Win.
ston Salem, said that she could
remember the Moravian ladies
who played on an old spinet-the
same, she added, that had been
used to entertain George Wash
ington. In a more humorous vein,
she added when the Moravian
ladies were not keeping General
Washington in church, they were
playing the spinet for him, using
the same songs that they use to-
day.
As for the favorite music Of the
south-"Dixie' and the songs OF
Stephen Foster-they were written
by men from the North, Mrs.
Howell said.
During the Civil war, she added,
Maryland My Maryland" 10
rena," and Bonnie Blue Flag"
were very popular. For singing
the latter song in New Orleans
following the Civil War, General
Butler, the Northern general But
Ter, ruling New Orleans, fined all
citizens $25.
Hymns, Mrs. Howell said, were
sung by both armies during the
Civil War. The Southern soldiers
would start singing around the
campfire, and the Yankees would
soon join in.
Mrs. Howell praised Sidney
Lanier, Georgia's poet, as being
the most inspired flutist this coun-
try has ever produced.
Following the program, dele
gates to the Warsaw conference
Tuesday gave their reports. Those
reporting included, Mrs. Charles
Lee Bragg, Mrs. Charles A. St.
