and convincingly and it is diff
cult to see how this could have
been done without setting the
film in a background of Negro
white relations which is familiar
Cor stereotyped) in the public
mind. The recompense is that
more and more films like "Pin-
ky" will eventually serve to
erase the conditions leading to
hated stereotyped thinking about
any and every race and creed.
The gist of the story Is this:
Pinky returns to her southern
community to escape situa-
tion in Boston in which she
and white doctor have fallen
in love. On her return her
grandmother, whose earnings
over the washboard have paid
for Pinky's education, wants
her to nurse Miss EN- ethel
Barrymore), an imperious
Southern woman of whom
Pinky has anything but tender
memories from her childhood.
Pinky at first refuses. Granny
takes stand. Despite her "aris-
tocracy," Miss EN- once nursed
Granny through a long illness.
81 slaved Is years to get you
educated" Granny tells Pinky,
"and if they educated the heart
out of you, then everything I
done was wrong. Now you go up
and take care of Miss En- like
the nurse you was educated to
be, or I swear on the Bible I'm
gonna whip the living daylights
out of you--and may the Lord
give me the strength to do it,"
More from the moral side than
from fear of spanking, Pinky
dons her nurses uniform and
takes up her duties at the side
of the dying Miss En-. The old
lady dies hard, and Pinky wins
some tart exchanges with her on
racial questions b eff ore they
both recognize quality" in one
(the title Of the original
novel was "Quality). The result
is that the old woman leaves
Pinky her house and land when
she dies. A great hullabaloo
arises in the town over a Negro
girl inheriting a white estate but
a Hollywood happy ending ar
ranges for a Southern court to
award her the inheritance, rec
o gnizin g that "the expressed
wishes of the dead should not
be set aside to crafty the greed
or prejudice of the living. Pin
ky rejects her doctor suitor from
Boston and remains in her south
ern community to establish
school for Negro nurses in Miss
Ems old estate.
Miss Waters, Miss Barry
more and Jeanne Grain are
outstanding in the film, and
so are many of the supporting
players. But the most notable
job was that of the films writ
ers, who have managed in the
framework of a standard boy
meets-girl plot to establish
many IRE fu ia b e truths
against racial discrimination.
Miss Grains scenes with her
doctor suitOr-who has quite
constructive battle with him
self on realizing that Pinky
Is Negro-have been eXcep-
tionally well presented.
"Pinky" is H oily wood
first" in tackling the subject of
Inti-Negro prejudice and dis
elimination. For a first, it is al
most too good to be true; but its
biggest contribution in the long
un may be to set off a series of
Inns hitting harder and harder
It this major stumbling block
n the way of full accomplish
nent of the promises and aspira-
ions of American democracy.

Independents Best Shamroeks, 4-34

The Palmer Independents, new corners to the Valley court wars, bested the Shamrocks by a. big 10 points in crowd-pleasing pre- season game last Saturday night. The Shamrocks think it can't be done twice, and have asked for a return engagement this Saturday. The game will be played at 8:3O at the Gym.
 Both squads looked about as might be expected in a season opener. Both lacked adequate re- serves and both showed the need of further practice sessions. The winners, in general, played smoother floor game than did the Shamrocks.
 The squabble grew rough in the latter half, as the Shamrocks edged the Independents for a few seconds late in the third quarter. Fouls were about evenly divided, with Shamrock Vernon FraE.e winnina top honors in the foul column for his usual slam- 'em-hard game Sat- urday night, with teammate Bud Billet assisting when he could.
 The Independents Lee Young was top scorer with 18 points, all field goals. Ray DePriest, Sham rock recruit at center, was close behind with seven field goals and a foul shot for total of Is points.

As packed my yellow swimming
trunks in Washington. the heat
was more than a persistent rumor.
I chuckled. thinking of four days
in New England with cooling
swims in bracing waters.

terlands as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
New York and Washington.
We started early on a Monday
morning from Providence. r. l..
and on the road to Newport stayed
almost constantly in sight of great
stretches of blue water. The guide
standing by our bus driver was
talking about Roger Williams,
Rhode Island history. and some
excavating under way to determine
If the Vikings might have con-
structed some historic stone mill.
At Newport. we took on a new
guide. one who could talk about
all the palatial homes as though
he'd been a guest in them.
Beach Clubs at Hand.
Then we began going by beach
clubs. There was one as hard to
get into rs South Pacific an
other for businessmen and a third
for the public.
Suppose we'll stop at one?" I
asked a travel agent from New
York. Soon we stopped. but not
at a beach club. It was to go
through The Breakers. That's the
marble palace of the Vanderbilts.
1t required 20 servants for the
house and 20 for the grounds.
Since there aren't that many serv-
ants any more. its now a show

While my companions gazed at
things like marble flower bowls
s feet long. I wandered away for
q look at the sea and the Cliff
