Index of Hysteria.
His very courageous stand
dramatizes the meaning of what
happened in the Senate-by its
very rarity-and what seemingly
is happening in our country. II
the Senate is a representative
body that reflects our people, as 1T
is said to be, the overwhelming
majority for the bill-70 voted for
it-can only be taken, presur11-
ably. as an index of the extent
of the hysteria among our people,

with it's six-year tenure for mem
bers and only third required to
face the voters every two years.
The mania abroad in our land,
which is so unlike a proud. free
people, already has been reflected
in Congress, most recently in the
groundless and reckless charges
against a fine public servant, Sec
retary of Interior Oscar Chapman,
and associates in the Interior De-
partment, by Senator Schoeppel,
Republican, of Kansas, which the
latter's own Republican colleagues
were quick to disavow. Beyond
Congress, it has exhibited itself IN
numerous and fantastic ways,
among them in the attempted
purge" of radio and television
entertainers and performers at
the mere whim of a Self-ap-
pointed vigilante squad. This last
sorry episode shows how quickly
in these times those who are
guardians Of part of our herit-
age of freedom of thought and
expression can bow before the
frenzy, for those who sponsor
radio programs are endowed with
responsibility also to preserve our
traditions. They are in the keep
ing of all of us.
Like Amateur Cooks.
Disillusioning, indeed, was the
spectacle in the Senate when, like
a lot of amateur cooks, our rep
resentatives were tossing their bits
into the pot to fix up the McCar-
ran legislative brew. It recalled,
in a way, the old recipe for rabbit

Robert Louis Stevenson's popu-
lar tale Of adventure. mutiny and
bloodthirsty pirates. Treasure
Island" has been turned into a
handsome motion picture by Walt
Disney. 1t is guaranteed to satisfy
almost all of the small-fry who
are packing into Keith's to, see it.
1t is faithful to the original, as far
as none too dependable memory
can tell, though Lawrence S. Wat
kins' script happily has condensed
it to reasonable length, and it is
alive with excitement.
1t would be the essence of some
thing or other to go into the plot
of this familiar yarn. so let it
merely be said that Mr.. Watkins
has stripped it down to its essen
tials and retained its full flavor.
Young Jim Hawkins, the squire
and the doctor set sail in the His
PAMELA, weather mutiny and find
their pirate gold, largely because
Jim is a brave and resourceful lad
in the clutches.
Filmed in Technicolor in Eng
land, under the direction of By.
ron Haskin, Treasure Island" is
| pictorially excellent and abounds
with authenticity in both scene
and character. Mr.. Stevenson,
himself. would be happy with the
old inn on the out-of-the- way
cove, where Jim Hawkins gets his
map of buried treasure; with the
town where the voyage to find it
is launched, and with the full
rigged Hispaniola and her motley
crew.
They are a fine and dangerous
lot, these pirates signed on by the
unsuspecting squire, and the finest
and most dangerous of them all is
Long John Silver. as played by
Robert Newton. Your small fry
may not recognize Mr.. Newton
as one Of England's finest actors
doing a fine piece of work, but
they'll recognize the Long John
Silver they imagined from the
Stevenson word-pictures of him
Mr.. Newton is right out of the
pages of the book if any actor
ever was.
Bobby Driscoll, of 1.-THE Win
dow" makes it clear that his act
ing in that picture was no acci-
dent by doing a fine job in Treas
ure Island" as Jim Hawkins, the
young cabin boy who tangles with
pirates and comes off the winner.
All the others, too, are true tc
Stevenson and his readers.
There's only one thing for you
to do and that is to take your off,
spring down to Keith'S to have

the dupont.
The idea on which "The Law
less" is based is that race pref
udice is an abominable thing.
This is no new thought. to be
sure, and it even has crept into
some previous motion pictures. It
is deal with here, however, on a
level and in a manner which will
get anything it has to say across
to a number of people who
wouldn't sit still for a sermon on
the subject.
''The LawleSs" is no preach
ment. It's an action yarn in the
old Pine Thomas school, which
believes in getting a man into
trouble and then letting him plow
his way through an hour or so
of physical violence to get out.
X X x \
The central figure of this melo-
dramatic episode is a small town
newspaper publisher. played by
Macdonald Carey. He has been
q cruSading reporter and a for
eign correspondent who has seen
his share of battle and just wants
to sit by the side of the road.
When the distaste of his fellow
townSpeople for the Mexican
fruit tramps" across the tracks
eliminates in open battle and a
scared young Mexican boy. is
about to be railroaded, he still
wants to sit by the side of the
road.
A young Mexican girl played by
Gail Russell heckles him mildly
for awhile without much result,
though his sense of fair play is
aroused to the point where he
proposes a fund to hire a lawyer
for the unfortunate boy. This
Evening star., 1950-08-03

brings on the mob which wrecks
his newspaper plant and in no
time at all, his duty becomes clear.
"The Lawless." however, does
not waste a lot of time over its
hero's grapplings with his con-
science. 1t manages to keep NOV
ing most of the time, with fists
flying, sirens screaming and mobs
surging. The young Mexican boy
is felled by a series of coinci-
dences which would make anyone
feel like fate's fall-guy-of- the
month. In a dance hall fight
started by some of the town swells,
he throws a wild haymaker and
inadvertently clouts a policeman.
Fleeing in terror he steals a couple
of automobiles, finally is trapped,
then escapes again after fatal
police car crash for which the cop
he has slugged blames him.
=
A young newcomer named Lalo
Rios plays this Inflated lad with
what seems to be a fair amount Of
talent. At least he makes the ter
ror within him fairly well-estab-
lished before he is through. Mr..
Carey and Miss Russell are quite
satisfactory as the editor and the
Mexican girl filled with a sad
sense of the meaning of being a
part of the wrong race on the
wrong side of the tracks. Director
Joseph Losey has achieved some
good, non-glamorous. realistic por-
trayals on the part of some other
members of his cast, too.
"The Lawless," mind you, is no
epic. It is marked as something
less than a work of art by its re-
lationship to the B picture melo-
drama, which is evident on more
than one occasion. The newspaper
headlines and television programs
used, for instance, are melodrama
shock devices with no similarity to
the real thing. Crowds form and
mobs gather in obviously staged
patterns, not haphazardly as in a
city's streets.
There are some other COM
plants, but these and the others
are all minor and shouldn't mar
your enjoyment of swiftly-mov-
ing action drama.
