well Remembered Well Made
BY Harry Macarthur

The way things are these days a
man can't be too careful when con-
fronted with the study Of reporting
on motion picture produced by
Adrian Scott, directed by Edward
Dmytryk, with musical score by
Hams Eisler. That puts a man on
edge, alert that the boys won't sneak
one by him that would have been
stopped If Representative j. Parnell
Thomas had been playing goalie.
so Well Remembered" whicn
opened yesterday at the Metropoli-
tan, seems to be quite harmless,
though. It is a well-made, adult
drama, skilfully acted by John
Mills and Martha Scott. and al
together a quite satisfactory cinema
entertainment.
Mr.. Dmytryk's direction is q bit
slowly paced on occasion, but II
this Is cause for serious alarm every
director in Hollywood has been
suspect at one time or another. The
story he tells, usually well, Is Of life
in a Lancashire mill town between
the wars, particularly of the lives
of a struggling young editor -politi-
clan and the selfish, once-wealthy
girl he has the misfortune to marry.
True, the hero Is man who
spurns a seat in Parliament If 1t
must be gained through aid Of cor
rupt politicians, and the villain a
set Of mill interests which keeps
the workers of the town living in
the misery Of slums. Mr.. Dmytryk,
or James Hilton, from whose novel
the picture was adapted, could
argue, though, that corrupt politi-
clans have been known to exist and
idealistic young men have fought
to correct conditions condoned by
their wealthier neighbors In Lam
cashire mill towns and other places,
too.
II X
It Is unfortunate, undoubtedly,
that such thoughts about propagan-
da have to creep into consideration
of this picture. Before Mr.. Scott and
Mr.. Dmytrik were asked what show
business came to know as "the $64
question:" about Communist party
affiliations, $50 Well Remembered"
could have been considered for itself
alone, without reference to the pos
sible political views of those who
made 1t.
Considered in this manner, it must
be called a motion picture which ap-

latter organ will be pleased about
the whole thing.
The Pirate" fashioned from S.
N. Behrman's sophisticated and
rather small joke, is not what it was
when the Lunts did it. This is very
smart of M-G-M, which remade it
as a vehicle for Kelly, whose talents
the studio has never invested so
wisely. In the course of turning 1t
into a dancing thing, full of beauty
and high spirits, Metros young
dancer removes the last doubt as
to who is the dominant man in that
field in the movies.
He and his studio may both count
themselves rich for having found
each other.
Vincente Minelli, who directed
"The Pirate" is a man who has
been known to go berserk in Tech
nicolor. In his latest production,
there is no chance Of this Here is
a kind of fantasy with Cole Porter
music that cannot possibly be out
run by the most vivid color, fairy
tale for groWn-ups and children
which looks the better for whatever
tint is imagined for it.
AS Behrman conceived it, and the
Alfred Hacketts have adapted it,
The Pirate" is a high spirited, al
though trivial, jest aimed at such
varied targets as the ego OF vaude-
Williams, the primitiveness OF some
of wonan's romantic notions, and
the reactionary aspects OF Latin
American marriage customs.
In its simplest terms, it is the
story of a clustered girl in patri-
clan West Indian household, whose
dream lover is famous pirate
known as the Black Macoco. While
she is living her romantic reveries,
her aunt is afflancing the girl to a
fat. dull creature who happens to-
be mayor of the town. This is where
Kelly comes in as a cocky, touring
vaudevillian whose first sight OF the
girl inspires him to heights Of reck-
lessness that she is to find irresist-
ible.
This is enough to indicate of what
thin stuff THE Pirate" has been
concocted, but the story could have
been downright irrelevant without
marring the pictures lively beauty
X X
The brightly retrieving grace OF
1.-THE Pirate" is that Kelly dances it
instead of trying merely to act it
with the collaboration of its large
cast. The fact is that he never
ceases to dance it, that his every
movement is full of a fascinating
eloquence.
His contribution to the ceaseless
colorful vibration of it all begins
with sequence in which he intro
duces himself to the town in free
flowing ballet which involves spirit
ed Irritation with every belle in the
city. The ballet never has been more
acrobatically arresting, and as a
form of courtship it suggests that
everyone except Kelly is being pretty
prosaic, or downright dull.

proaches excellence. II it does not
quite achieve 1t, it still is film
well worth your while, q human
story told interestingly through q
combination of expert talents.
A joint production OF RKO Of
Hollywood and j. Arthur Rank Of
Britain, $50 Well Remembered"
manages to represent, in a great
many ways, the better points OF
both Britain and American movie
making. It has a production gloss,
a finished workmanship in its purely
physical aspects, that is definitely
Hollywood. It has also that true-to-
life feel that seems always to be part
Of motion pictures involving British
people in their natural habitat of
British town and countryside.
There Is q definite Lancashire fla-
vor about 80 Well Remembered"
that is all to the good.
~
$50 Well Remembered" is a
superbly acted photoplay. AS the in
sufferably selfish woman who mar
ries bright young man in the hope
that she can use him to better her
position in life, then leaves him
when she finds him hopeless ideal
ist, Martha Scott is excellent. This
is, in fact, one of the most knowing
portraits she has contributed to the
screen, which Is saying a great deal.
No less knowing, and sure of his
every move in his undertaking way,
Is John Mills, whom you last saw in
Great Expectations" His Is a fine,
Evening star., 1948-06-04

A dance of this order sets what
looks like dangerously high stand
ard as a starter, but Kelly knew
what he was about in that he man
ages to top it in three subsequent
sequences. The best of these is per-
haps the extravagantly produced
fire dance just before the films cli-
max, but there will be stout argu-
ment from those who espouse an
imaginative acrobatic item which
the star dances with the Nicholas
brothers.
It's dramatic effect is calculated
not only to astound you with Kelly's
virtuosity, but also to teach you an
entirely new respect for the dance.
The size of Kelly's role in "The
Pirate" has tendency to diminish
Miss Garland's part in it. Still she
manages to make her presence
known in spite of the fact that the
Cole Porter music she sings is sew
eral cuts below the composers best
work. Naturally no one expects her
to be a Lynn Fontanne, most of all
Miss Garland herself.
She is just in there as a spirited
West Indian girl who wears her
brilliant costumes ably, resists Kelly
with as much physical violence as
she can muster until resistance be-
comes hopeless, and sings as much
out of Porter's songs as he put into
them.
The overall idea of 1.-The Pirate"
is that it shall keep you pleasantly
dazzled by its color and its move
ment. This it accomplishes with
more excellence than anyone could
have expected. It may very well end
up convincing everyone that Broad
way has no corner on the production
of sophisticated musicals whose ap-
peal to the senses is plain brilliant.
Kelly and Minelli are in business
and should provide lots of happy
work for such others as Miss Gar
land, Walter Slezack, Gladys Cooper,
and that great flock of beautiful
girls, who decorate THE Pirate"

Warren Hospital Directors Select
Rodgers Home Site Tentatively

Warrenton - In a meeting
held here, the directors of the
Warren County Hospital Com.
mittee tentatively agreed to pur'
chase the homep1ace of the late
Will Rodgers, as a site for the
erection of a hospital, in this
county.
There are approximately ten
acres in the homeplace and the
price the directors agreed to pay
on the condition the site meets
with state and federal approx
al, is about $500, it has been
stated.
The directors previously recon-
mended portion of the Rod.
gers property as a proposed site
for the hospital, and this piece
of ground was approved by the
representatives of the state and
federal governments, as a suit
able site providing the county
arranged for adequate water
and sewage disposal.
In their tentative agreement
to buy all of the Rodgers pro-
perty, which is located approx
mately a half mile from the
city limits on the Warrenton-
Norlina highway, the directors
took into consideration the fact
that sooner or later a nurses
home would be needed and the
homestead could be used for this
purpose.
Some of the directors thought
the price of the property was
too high, but at the same time.
it would cost the county several
thousand dollars more to place
the hospital further from town
on a cheaper site, since this
would either necessitate the con-
struction of a sewage desposal
unit and water system or run
ming the pipe lines from Warren
ton or Norlina at a cost of a
round four dollars per foot for
the sewer line and two dollars
per foot for the water line.
Since the state and federal
governments are putting up two
thirds of the cost of the hospital
representatives Of both Of these
governments have to place their
stamp of approval on the hospi-
tai site and the Rodgers pro-
perty as a suitable site and it
is understood that DR.. W. D.
Rodgers has agreed to the
purchase price.
In a bond issue early this year
the citizens of Warren expressed
heir approval of county hospi-
al by an overwhelming vote for
a bond issue, in the sum of one
hundred and ten thousand dol
lars. Subsequently the Warren
hospital was approved,
subject to local communities full
filing Its Obligations relative to
funds and sites. by the State
Medica Care Commission.
