Wayne and Ford Pair Off
On Another Big Western

Evening star., 1950-11-17

His beautiful wife. Miss O'Hara.
is former Confederate belle who
will never forgive him for having
burned her Shenandoah Valley
home when Wayne was a Civil
War captain in Gen. Phil Sheri-
dams Union Army. She thinks
this act was carrying a sense of
soldierly duty too far and she
feels the same way about the colo
.nel's treatment of their son. who
is an apprentice trooper in the
cavalry outfit.
The struggle in which their per-
sonal prides are locked - along
with that of the equally proud
boy-iS more dominant in the
screenscript than that between
the cavalry and the Indians.
1t is breaking no confidence or
spelling no suspense to admit that
all conflicts in "Rio Grande" are
resolved as they should be in the
cases of such noble and handsome
humans. y x
No maker of westerns approaches
Ford in his conviction that the
basic drama of such pictures lies
in the photography. Show him
landscape whose sweep and mai
esty can speak for themselves and
he will clear it of actors and horses
just to take its picture. Scene
after scene in "Rio Grande" is
made in this mood.
Ford's Celtic sentimentalism,
which shows itself in this and
other ways, is restrained when it
comes to the handling of romance
in his pictures. AS his romantic
pair, Wayne and Miss O'Hare are
lovers who know how to contain
themselves within their ferociouS
prides. Source of their estrange-
ment is his uncompromising sense
of duty. a cavalryman's sense of
duty, and Ford sees that it is de-
veloped with the proper touches
for such a duel.
OF the several elements Ford
combines in "Rio Grande," the
one most accented as a cliche is
the films comedy continuity. This
is embraced within the character
of an Irish cavalry sergeant played
by Victor McLaglen. Ford is the
only director in Hollywood who
has ever created the suggestion
that McLaglen is an actor. He
skips even that in the Warner ex-
hibit in which the performer runs
through the whole vocabulary of
congresses expected of old SER
geants
1t is in its scenes of thrilling
horsemanship. of which there are
several. of battle and of spectacle
that "Rio Grande" rises out of the
dust kicked up by q hundred west
erns and becomes a John Ford
picture.
This is a distinction not to be
overlooked lightly.

story goes. President Jefferson sent
mission to find this deposed
Arab leader, build a native army
around him and drive his brother,
who did the deposing, out of
Tripoli. This might have possibil-
tiles. but it bogs down in cliches
before its army bogs down in the
Sahara. The possibility that any
thing about 'Tripoli" will come
as a surprise to you is among the
more remote possibilities of the
month.
It does have some redeeming
features. Miss O'Hara is one of
them: never looked lovelier or did
more damage in the in-fighting
Howard da Silva is another. He
provides some happy moments
with his impersonation of a
happy-go-lucky Greek mercenary
And there is that battle at the
climax, which is brought off with
all the old Pine-Thomas enthu-
siasm for shooting up a town.
You are not likely to find
"Tripoli" of epic proportion,
though, unless you have been
seeing all your movies on tele-
vision lately.

William Pine and William
Thomas are known in Hollywood
as the Dollar Bills" for the high
financial returns of their low-cost
action films. Now and then,
though. they are stricken with an
impulse to produce great big pic
lures like other people make,
which is what seems to have hap
pened in the case of ''Tripoli, at
the Capitol.
1t is too bad they did not resist
the impulse. 1t is easy to see why
the story of 'Tripoli" looked good
to them. of course. It is an action
fiction inspired, by the campaign
responsible for that reference to
the shores of Tripoli in the Ma
rine Hymn" The trouble is that
the Winston Miller screen play di-
rected by Will Price takes it's own
good time getting around to the
action.

more ardent lovers than these and

still accounts for something at
least family special when they
60 to work.
Working in old-fashioned black
and white. they touch up the an
cient landscape of the frontier
with not merely its visual beauty
but something of its old aura of
adventure. What they accomplish
represents the difference between
labor of love and a simple lust
to cash in on a screenplay type
that Is getting to be as basic as
bread. **
The cliches of Rio Grande"
are not the ones of all-horse opera.
They are out of Ford's own pri-
vate stock and represent his per-
sonal taste in what comedy should
be. how to use camera to bring
out the Vests very best, and
how deep conflict should run be-
tween whites and Redskins and
between a pair of frontier roman
tics. such as Wayne and Maureen
O'Hara.
James Kevin McGuineSs. an
equivalent sentimentalist. is au-
thor of Ford's latest frontier love
letter. He writes the tale of
tough. higl1-minded cavalry Colo
mel (Wayne) who is fighting one
of the decisive Indian wars on
the Rio Grande. What illustrates
the colonel is not the Indians
prowess at arms but the fact that
they can slip over the Mexican
border where he is unable to pur-
sue them under diplomatic edict
which he resents.
This accounts for the profess
sional turmoil in the life OF the
tough cavalry officer. In SOME
ways. it is less frustrating, how
ever. than the condition of his
private life.

Officers of the Juneau Concert Association were greatly relieved to learn today that the Baldwin con- cert grand piano recently sent from New York City had arrived in Seattle. and had been put aboard a Juneau-bound ship.
 It will be unloaded from the Square Sinnett, scheduled to dock in Juneau Thursday.
 Furthermore, the muSic-loverS gre heartened by generous gesture which will help complete payments on the piano. according to Ernest Ehler, president.
 "Througn the good o1I.ces e II. E. Green, Juneau agent" said Ehler today, tine Alaska Steamship Com pany has offered to absorb the freight charges from Seattle to Ju- neau. This will mean a saving ot approximately $50, which we had expected to have to pay.

 Two will be constructed to give visual aid teaching-a boon to aid Ing students and teachers alike in getting subjects taught which are not otherwise readily learned.
 Lower Grades Out
 By the time the fiscal year rolls around, Foster believes that schools now planned at Palmer and White Mountain will be completed. and this will enable Mt. Edgecumbe to abolish their present 5th and 9th grades, leaving the school on a Junior and senior high school basis. As the services building program has progressed in recent years. the .ower grades at the Japonski Island institution have been gradually cut put, smaller children being sent to outlying schools. High school facili- ties, long needed, have at the same time been increased.
 Present capacity of the ortho- pedic hospital will be doubled, Eos ter plans, and five miles of paving will be done on the islands roads. At present equipment is being badly torn up by bouncing over the chuck -holed dirt roads, and consid- erable saving is foreseen by the move.
