lies beyond churlish objections to

As Laurence Stallings and Frank
IS. Nugent have rewritten it, and as
Ford has photographed 1t, Three
Godfather" covers an immense
ground. Most Of this is desert which
can be as exciting as q Thanks
giving night dream to the man who
happens to be lost on 1t without
water, but about which a mere
moviegoer can remain pretty COM
placent.
Ford's rogues are trapped in this
desert which is the villain of the
Capitol's picture.
They are not the sort who de-
serve this fate. In spite of appear
ances which make it pretty clear
that they are cattle rustlers and
bank bandits, they are fellows with
essentially good hearts. They make
jokes with the Sheriff and compli-
ment him on his wife's looks and
disposition. and the spirit in which
they rob the bank is more one of
boyish recklessness than of GRIM
inality.
The Sheriff himself Is inclined to
take this view of 1t which makes
hunting down the bandits a kind
of game.
Every water hole on the desert
becomes kind of goal line for the
forces of law and order and the OBJ
ject Of the Sheriff is to keep the
bandits away from these goals until
they are parched into submission.
Things are going along about even
until the bandits run across the
newly born baby and his dying
mother. With that handicap added,
1t Is merely a question of how long
the bandits can keep going.
The swing of Ford's cameras
across the desert gives Three God
fathers a lot of pictorial drama, at
its best in scenes showing the effect
of sandstorm upon men and their
beasts and the terrifying emptiness
of waterholes that offer no water.
Ford has a great and understand
able affection for this kind of drama.
His audiences may be more predis-
posed toward the human elements
OF his story.
These can be affecting. even in
their brevity. There is a nice blend
of the haunting and humorous, for
instance, In the interval in which
the shy trio undertakes to solve the
problem Of mid-wiflng the birth of
the child in the tenderfoot's wagon.

dominate the succeeding sequences

unconquerable will to win crys-

people flogged and beaten. The
world has come to learn todav
that this Maccabbean heroism
latent in the Jew and reborn ont
OF desperation, reared in age
long yearning, cemented in
blood, and hallowed by martyr
dom, is an irresistible force that
cannot be gainsaid.
The truth and validity of this
renascent national impulse is
demonstrated in the fact that
whereas only several years ago
it was American Jewry that was
called upon to encourage the
Ylshuv and to bolster its resist
ance against defeatism and des-
pair, today, in its relatively short
period of existence, it is Israel
that has become the spearhead
and the driving force in the Jew
ish will to live. By an unusual
sociological dynamism, peculiar
to the. relationship between the
people of Israel in the diaspora
and its land, we are experiencing
a spiritual osmosis in which
there is reverse flow of benefits
from the beneficiary to the be-
slower. This heretofore dor
mant relationship has become an
undeniable fact. It is the heroes
of Israel that inspire us today
rather than our own achieve
ments, not solely because they
are military victors, but because
they represent in their accomp-
liShments a fulfilled dream, a
vision and a hope brought to

Mizrachi Revives Holiday

New York, (Palcor) = The
ancient Biblical tradition of

ish religious festivals in the

be revived this year for the
first time in 1000 years by the
Mizrachi Organization of A

fruition, and an elimination of an
ancient vacuum in our national
existence. They radiate the as
surance, confidence, and auth
GRITTY that is generated only by
people that is completely nor
malized and is an unchallenged
master in its own home.
While this political precocity
and sudden maturity of Israel
is an inexperienced achievement
in the history of the develop
ment of nations, for Jews it is
only another illustration Of the
Rabbinic observation: Israel is
suited to the Land of Israel and
the Land of Israel is suited to
Israeli. Translated into more
modern and functional terms it is
this: One strives most effectively
for the cause closest to ones
heart and one develops best in
the environment for which one
is destined. In the evolution OF
Jewish life a cycle has been COM
pleted. And history is grinding
irrestibly to reform the familiar
pattern of the asccndancy of
Eretz Israel over all other Jewish
communities in the diaspora. By
valorous deeds in the tradition
of the Maccabbees, Israel has
been restored as nucleus of our
living and reestablished as the
heart and core of world Jewry.
It is because of this that the
renaissance of Israel assumes its
greatest significance. The des-
tiny of a people has been fulfil
led, the living waters of Jewish
existance have been RECLAIMED
ed in their ancient bedstreams.
We salute our brethren in the
new state of Irsael and we vow
our unyielding cooperation and
support. To paraphrase the
well-knoWn verse:
Halutzim, you are Maccabbees,
You held the battle line;
Your ideals and dreams were
the weapons
