1t Is a classic OF Indian literature,
tale that may be described most
simply as King-meets-girl, and
while it is unlikely to jeopardize
Hollywood's future in our lives, it is
an exhibit of unusual interest.
The essential dramatic quality of
"Shakuntala" to the western mind,
as it is jestingly called, is inherent
in its novelty. Certainly it has
plenty of that. 1t differs not merely
in narrative content, but in treat
ment, in tempo, visual effect, and in
the personal qualifications of its
romantic stars. Its heroine is a
plump, gazelle-eyed beauty whose
very name, Jayashree, summarizes
her uniqueness. It's hero is a mas
sive, bearded monarch who is pic
tured as more at home in court
ship and as a huntsman than in
the affairs of state.
Naturally, they will come as a
surprise to moviegoers who have
been living on a diet OF Veronica
Lake and Victor Mature, so to speak,
but the surprise can be quite pleas
ant in "Shakuntala."
n X Il
The major contrast between the
Indian picture and the conventional
product is that the former IS pal
pably more concerned with the
wholeness of life. This, drained Of
It's literary stuff1ness, means that
its people are photographed as only
part of the total Landscape. The
birds, cockatoos, parrots, n1inahs
and the like also get into the pic
ture., So do the flowers, especially
the Jasmine and the lotus. Includ-
ed, too, are the animals, most not
ably flock of gazelles and at least
one pride of lions. when did Hol-
lywood ever give reviewer
chance to refer to a pride" or
pair, Of lions?)
All these make "Shakuntala"
special cinema item and curiously
arresting one.
"Shakuntala" is love story, a
poetic allegory of how India was
born. It's autnOr, hdnuaSdS, "llo

a Dushayant.
1t is thus he tells their story, of
q limpidly lovely Shakunt born of
a woodland nymph and found de-
serted in jasmine bower by the
Holy Man, Kanva; and of the King
who found her in adolescence and
became her tempestuous mate.
Life was not lake of lotus flowers
for this mother and father of India.

Ex.Tough Guy
Has a Word on
Crime Films
By SheiIoh Grohom

Now that a new protest is rising
about the number Of crime movies
Humphrey Bogart-of all people
admits that some of them should be
stopped.
Last winter, the Johnston Office
quieted a furor of protest by clamp
ing a ban on the making of gangster
movies. Today theaters are playing
a new crop Of films about crime
and certain commentators and pres
sure groups are starting to complain
again. After issuing a Bogartian
TRADE against the complainers, the
actor continued: Some crime pic
lures shouldn't be made"
Bogart cited the prison film,
Canon City" IT. was story of a
bunch of bad eggs who broke out of
the stir and finally were put back
there where they belonged" he
related. Il can see no reason for
the picture"
When the late Mark Hellinger
called Bogie to see how he liked
another prison movie, Brute Force, "
the actor replied: why did you
make it? A picture should have
either entertainment or a moral.
This one had neither"
Don't get the idea that Bogie is
going straight (as some San Quen-
tin cons accused him of doing when
he started playing detectives) He's
still agin' the characters who think
crime pictures should be abolished
entirely.

"It's stupid to think that movies
can foster crime" he declared.
When I was young, we were read
ing about Billy the Kid, but that
didn't make criminals out of us.
IF you want to find out what
turns kids to crime, look at their en-
vironment and particularly their
family life. Parents who let 10
year-old kids stay out at night are

the consummation of their love, the
love- engrossed Shakunt had the mis-
fortune to arouse the wrath of a
hermit. He put a curse upon her
love, sent his personal demons to
rob the mind of King Dushayant OF
all memory of the girl.
Shakunt is proud girl. as the
mother Of India should be, and
when her royal lover casts her aside
she goes into the forest to bear
their child and to rear him to be
more of a King than his father ever
was. From her, the prince learns
not merely such virtues as kindli-
ness, affection, nobility and pride
but all the necessary skills for sur
vival in the Jungle.
The greatest of these manly arts
is use of the bow and arrow, at
which the princeling becomes so
expert that he can shoot two apples
off his mothers head with two ar
rows fired simultaneously. This
naturally makes monkey of Will
liam Tell and his boy, but it also
makes one of the trickiest and most
amusing sequences of ''Shakuntala. "
1t also provides the dramatic de-
vice by which the proud young
prince acts as instrument in re-
uniting his mother and father in
deserved marital bliss.
y X
"Shakuntala" is dramatic also in
the havoc it Weaks among your
misconceptions of Indian life. If,
for example, you have thought of
its women as veiled, clustered, and
quite a secondary sex as such things
go, Shakunt's courtship in the gar
den of the hermitage will surprise
you. 1t is true that she and her
royal lover do not kiss as token
of affection, but they are not the
inhibited pair you expect to see.
When they want to express deep
feelings, they have a number of
ways of making themselves clear,
not the least of which is a series
of halftonal melodies which nestle
into the narrative with a dramatic
logic of their own.
1t is quite possible that you will
find "Shakuntala" one of the most
curiously engrossing screen exhibits
of the summer.

Whether the PGA will pool its

tainly more than Lew Worsham, the

eight members Wednesday night at

saying it is the best team he ever

returned home with world cham

New Trouble on As

PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-Con-
ME Mack, already alarmed over the
near collapse of his pitching STAN
had double trouble today.
The principals are the veterans Of
the hurting corps for Mack's Phila-
delphia Athletics-38-year-old Bill
Dietrich and 36-year-old Nelson
Potter.
Dietrich demanded his uncondi-
tional release and Mack said okay
so long as the other clubs in the
league waive on him.
AS for Potter, Mack tossed him OH
the club yesterday, then reportedly
reinstated him several hours later.
but Art Morrow, sports writer OF the
Philadelphia Inquirer, said Potter
considered himself still fired and
left for his home in Chicago as the
AS entrained for the West.
Mack Becomes Aroused.
The Potter incident developed IN
the first game Of twin bill with
the st. Louis Browns. Mack brought
Potter in from the bullpen when
Lou Brissie wavered after holding a
ST. lead going into the eighth In
ming.
Brissie had yielded one run and
left the bases loaded with none out.
Potter forced in a run on a walk
when he passed Pinch Hitter Joe
Schultz.
Paul Lehner then singled to right
of Potter and the tying runs
scored. The winning run came IN
on the same play on an overthrow
Potter stuck around to give up
one more hit and one more run
Then Mack waved him out. In a
voice that could be heard in the
seats near the AS dugout, Mack
told Potter: IF that's the best you
can do, get your check
The pitcher promptly departed
for the clubhouse. Later, he ano
the S5-year-old Mack were re-
ported to have reached an under
standing. but Morrow said such
was not the case.
Dietrich HeartbrOken.
Dietrich said he is heart
broken at leaving the AS, the best
club I was ever with
He added Il felt that I coulo
help the club, but I have pitched
only 1914 innings this year, and
have started only two games-one
against Cleveland the other against
the Chicago White Sox."
In addition to these woes, Mack
finds three of his front-line
pitchers, Phil Marchildon, Dick
Fowler and Bill McCahan, suffer
ing sore arms.
He's going to give McCahan a
chance tonight in an exhibition
game at Pittsburgh against the
Pirates. It'll be Pete Suder Night
and the second baseman from
Aliquippa, Pa, will be honored by
his hometown friends.
