testy old Col. Barton Barrington,
swears the villagers to the protec-
ton of their visitor. Tanks on
maneuvers are repelled from the
field where the pipit is nesting and
the ministry of agriculture is called
upon to save the nest from the plow,
There is a flip of drama added
in an attempt by a shady ornitho-
ligist to steal the valuable pipit's
eggs, but the accent largely is on
comedy. There are some fine mo-
ments dedicated to laughter. There is
the sequence, for example, where a
group Of learned ornithologists is
locked UP in the town hall by a
ruse, the codgers in the village
square being determined to pro-
tect their pipit from shopping out
slders. There is the sequence at
the ministry Of agriculture, where
the colonel is shunted from clerk
TO clerk, trustratingly, finally to wind
up before an official who declares
that we get our job done around
mere without any red tape. The
pipit even has a song composed in
its honor by local genius, a foolish
tribute that must be one of the fun
nlest anthems on record. Through
out the film there is evidence that
the British have more fun than
anybody laughing at themselves.
The leading players in THE
TaWny Pipit" are Writer-Director
Miles, Rosamund John, Mai McGin-
ms, Jean Gille and Christopher
Steele and no bird ever had a more
understanding or more sympathetic

the one evoked by the title tune

have been a shuttle of voices.

are the work of Evelyn Davis. Like

notable performance talent, but she
has turned out highly comic
ballet in the form of a satire on

You might not think that the
nesting of a bird, interesting as it
might be to a society Of arden bird
watchers, would provide sufficient
drama for a full-length motion pic
ture entertainment. The British
could prove you wrong, though, and
in fact, have done just that in an
exceptionally pleasant film titled
THE Tawny Pipit." now on display
at the Hippodrome.
The Tawny Pipit' is the work of
Bernard Miles and Charles Saun-
ders, who collaborated both as script
writer's and directors. 1t tells, and
with a great deal of charm, Of the
impact on the tiny village of Lips
bury Lea of tawny pipit which ar
rives to nest and hatch her eggs
there during the war. The British
fair for the utterly ridiculous has
seldom looked funnier than in this
spectacle of the Matching of four
eggs becoming the most important
thing in village in a. country with
a serious war on its hands.
The tawny pipit. it seems, is a
rarity in Great Britain; this is the
second time on record that one has
ventured out of central Europe to
nest there. So. with young RAF'
hero and his girl friend as her dis
coverers and principal guardians,
mama pipit is the central figure in
a great deal of excitement as she
sits in the middle of field warm
ing her brood to life. A town meet

Only in flashes did the large COM
pany achieve the exuberance ex-
pected of college musical performers
and while this did not DESTROY in

good for audience enjoyment of it.
Author Kerr who also directed
ALLEY Moon, has created a drama
that professional performance might
turn into fresh and lively entertain
ment. He has taken the theme of
juvenile delinquency and set it to
music, rather good music. 1t reflects
lar more artistic ambition than goes
into all but the best of such things
In todays theater. 1t suggests also
a praiseworthy skill in the treat
ment of difficult material, and the
complexities of production.
That he did not find a cast up to
singing, dancing and acting it to
the hilt simply means that such
cast does not exist among nom
professionals. What applies to the

Alters.

AMER1CUS, Ca, May IL. CA
NP)-Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram, 40,
and her sons, Wallace, 16; and
Sammie Lee, IA, have appealed
to the Georgia Supreme court
against life sentences given them
for the murder of 66-year-old
John E. Stratford, white, it was
disclosed here last week by Atty.
Austin T. Walden of Atlanta. The
Ingrams, originally sentenced to
death upon conviction, had their
sentences committed to life by SUI
perior Judge w. M. Harper.
In the appeal, Atty. Walden
contended that the verdict was
contrary to the evidence and with
out evidence to support it. He also
said the verdict was against the
weight of the evidence and that
the sentences were contrary to
law and the principles of justice
and equity.
He pointed out that should the
state court fail to act ~favorably
on the appeal, the U. S. Supreme
court would be asked to rule on
the case.
