man would come out. When the
telephone rang, promptly at mid
Knight, he was apparently still in
&Iside.

sphone she heard her fathers voice
CLEARLY.
How are you. dear?" he asked
B Perhaps you'd better come
$Ihome," she said without any pre-
liminaries. I'm all right, but it's
sgetting a little too complicated. .
She told him of the masked
men, the key and the dictaphones
She didn't tell him of the man
next door, now. She was afraid
that would worry him to distrac-

Don't worry. I'm sleeping here

Iagain. Then he said good-by.
Sherry went back and peeked
into the hall. She saw nothing.
Was the man still in her apart
ment?, What should she do? She
couldn't call the police. That had
to wait until her father returned.
She would get that front door
lock changed Monday morning.
She would barricade the apart
ment so no one could get in.
But that didn't solve her present
lpredicament.
She couldn't stay here, knowing
an intruder was next door. She
couldn't let Dru come in alone,
in the early morning hours. She
might be waylaid and injured.
She had to do something, and
the only person she thought she
could trust was Jim Trevor.
She had to take that chance.
So she called him and got him
out of bed to answer the tele-
phone.

In World War II the mule
proved to be one of the American
Army's best friends. Mule trains

nothing to upset the formula.
The usual, more than senseless
helter- -Skelter pace of horse opera
is avoided by Richard Thorpe's
direction of the Capitol's picture.
This is helpful in suggesting that
there is more depth and humanity
than ordinarily in the various
characters of the story.
Even though he is forced to in
dulge in a couple of violent fistic
bouts, Lancaster has time to round
out his hero into the resemblance
of a recognizable human being.
The same applies to most of the
others, Walker as the heel, Ireland
as the killer-type villain, Miss
Dru as the disappointed young
wife and Russell Collins as the
solid rapcher.
The impression they create that
ranch people were reasonably nor
NAL in many aspects of life is
quite pleasant.
Director Thorpe takes full ad-
vantage of the fact that the West
ern landscape is so photogenic,
especially in Technicolor. It is
seldom that his film is not Wis
ually so attractive, most especially
so in the climatic passages in
which the great roundup Is
staged. This turns out to be the
best sequence of its kind since
cattle looked so dramatic in Red

Maybe 1t is not necessary for
Westerns to be epochal at that.

This makes 1t something of an
event when M-G-M produces a
Western such as 1t has in Ven
geance Valley" new screen attrac-
ton at the Capitol. In the quality
of its production and the caliber
of the cast, this Technicolor opus
reflects it's special auspices but
it's dramatic merit ends up being
nothing out of the ordinary.
There have been so many West
erns, of course, that there is moth
ing even such as Burt Lancas-
ter, jeanne Dru, Robert Walker,
John Ireland and others can do
to make this one an epic. Perhaps
their performances as good and
bad frontier citizens have more
crispness than those of other and
more tried actors, but it is not ex-
actly conspicuous.
The most interesting sequence
in Vengeance Valley" may very
well be those in which a great
spring cattle roundup is photo
grapfed. So many white-faced
Herefords take part in this, it is
almost enough to make Eric john
ston. roll back the price of beef.
Or. maybe 1t isn't. ...
Luke Short, a prolific writer of
horse opera, is the author honored
by ''Vengenace Valleys" Al pro-
duction.
The tale he has to tell here is
that Of a ranch family whose trou-
bles stem mostly from a reckless
son played by Walker. Opposed
to this bad boy and a few of his
vicious cronies are Lancaster, as
the ranch foreman, and Miss Dru
as the evil lads wife, who would
never make a second mistake of
marrying so stupidly.
First thing the bad son does Is
to get a nice neighbor girl into
trouble and then to compound his
offense by implying that the cul-
prit is guy as decent as Lam
caster.
This sets up conflict between
the ranch foreman and the girls
two no-good brothers, but he is
man enough to take care of them
as well as to assume the guilt of
the actual sinner.
Because this foster-brother re-
lationship is such convenience
as this. Walker is rather tardy in
doing anything to upset it. How
ever. when he gets the notion that
Lancaster is so much his moral
superior that both Walkers wife
and father prefer him, the latter
plans the great double cross.
This involves leading Lancas-
ter into trap in which the Of

THE CAST.
By Harry Macarthur

The inmates of Hollywood al
ways take umbrage when an out
lander refers to their dream world
as dream world and they go on
making pictures like "The Fire
ball." which yesterday turned up
at the Columbia. The inmates
can't understand this talk that
their films haverno relation to life.
Take 1.-The Fireball." It's about
something which apparently is the
West Coast version of a spectacle
known around these parts as the
Roller Derby. Right up to the
minute. huh? Evvabody's going
nuts about it on television. How
close can you get to the realities
of life?
The fact that Hollywood has
not yet received the news that
other forms of entertainment have
eclipsed the Roller Derby and
lessened its Importance in the
television scheme is not important.
The crux Of this matter is that
1t Is a safe 88-to-5 bet that life
in the Roller Derby is nothing like
this and the closest I have come to
the Roller Derby is an admira-
tion from afar Of the insouciance
with which an Irish Ashbacker
can dig an elbow into an oppo-
nent's midriff. This would look
phony to a Rhodesian. e.
