The Picnic Was

Our local Wild Life League went

Monday, folks kept stopping me,
and saying: 'Must have COTTON out

mighty pleasant and congenial.
Just beer and hot dogs, cheese and

This Chicago aldermanc election comes at special
time. 1t comes at the political moment when the old
Democratic machine has suffered crushing blow.
At the time, the Republican Party is self
conscious of the fact that has nothing to pede but shop

to the last dsgracefu period when the Republican ma

Latest of the melodramas to
come to town is number called,
ride the Pink Horse" practically
a one-man job by Robert Mont
gomery, who stars as well as di-
reefs a script prepared by Ben
Hecht and Charles Lederer.
Montgomery is tough guy, who
comes out to a small town in the
West-Arizona or Colorado, prob
ably-looking for a war profiteer.
It seems that this profiteer has
had a buddy of his, chap named
Shorty, knocked off because the
buddy had uncovered a crooked
deal.
Evidence of the deal is a can
celled check from bank in Mex
leo. Well, as you might guess, our
hero has the check. He breezes
into town, challenges the profiteer
and makes a deal with him-he'l
give up the check for $50,
OF course, the profiteer, agrees,
but sets his thugs on our lad. They
give him some real humps, includ.
ing knife in the back, but he
and the check get away. Then
comes the chase. Montgomery
hides out with some Indian
friends.
The whole thing ends happily
when Bob and the Indian gal who
has befriended him are rescued
at the last minute from the bad
guy and his uncouth friends by
Oman who is also on the bad
guys trail. Bob, torn between JUS
tice and dough, spurns the bad

have only one criticism of the
plot think it would have been
a lot more appropriate to have the

point about which we needn't

I've taken my good time and

to set the plot down in this much

you've seen one of these things
you've seen them all.
There was one more axe: I've
contended in quiet way for some
time that Ben Hecht has less to
say than any man now posing as
a writer. He's certainly working
overtime trying to make me look
good.
OF course, not all the blame for
this should 60 to Hecht. He gets

big assist from Montgomery. AS
the central character, handsome
Robert trips this thing before it
can even begin to get moving. And
slowed up that way, you can see
all the seams.
That's bad. When melodramas
move by fast they at least look
plausible while you're sitting in
the theatre, but when you have
time to think about them as they
unfold, it's no dice.
There are several good touches
in the film, most of them con-
tributed by Thomas Gomez, a ver-
satile and competent performer,
who you may remember from
the screen version of "The Little
Foxes" As Pancho, a philosophic
Indian, Gomez dominates the film.
Considering the caliber of the OPP
position, guess that is only faint
praise.
IN PLACE of a secondary re-
view this week, I'd like to air a
grippe of mine and, I hope, OF
thousands of other progressives.
Attentive readers will have mo-
ticed that Monsieur Verdoux,"
and Nuremberg Trial." certainly
two of the finest movies produced
in recent years, were trundled
out of the Loop so fast we barely
had time to get them reviewed.
In the case of the Nuremberg
Trial." the fault was ours-by that
I mean the progressives-not the
theatres. The night I saw the film
there were no more than 40 or
so people in the house.
The movie is not only an ex-
cellent documentary, but is also
a powerful weapon in the fight
for a just and democratic peace.
1t is important that as many
people as possible see it.
With Monsieur Verdoux," the
case is slightly different. 1t wasn't
playing to standing room only
crowds, but it was filling the house.
What reason, if any, the theatre
may have had for closing it
don't know-although I can hazard
pretty good guess.
But here again is tremendously
exciting and important film which
should be made available to all
who want to see it.
To get down to cases: I throw
out, for what it's worth, this sug-
gestion-let every STAR reader
call the theatre in his neighbor-
hood and demand that they show
both Monsieur Verdoux" and
Nuremberg Trial" Together,
they'd make helluva good double
feature. And when, and if, they
are booked, don't miss them.

particularly for his arrogance.
Once when he was due for
rehearsal with the Pittsburgh

ed in late, after keeping the dis

AS he entered, he blatantly ask

for a moment. AS the concert
master did so, Thomas removed
a wad of chewing gum from his
mouth and stuck it under the mu-

When the rehearsal was over,
and Thomas was leaving, the con-

said, Here's your gum, Mr.. Thorn
