full cooperation OF tne Marine
Corps in making Halls of Monte
yuma" a film worthy of its title.
x x * x
The Goth Century-FoX produc-
ton deals with the capture of an
unnamed Pacific island. defended
with amazing force and cunning
by the occupying japanese.
Milestone's picture says that it
takes more than matching force
and military craft to GUST these.
The extra is represented in Ma
rine Corps esprit, courage great
enough not merely to endure in
calculable agony, but to face the
terrible despair based, on doubt
that war will ever end and that
life is worth such anguish. In
this attitude Halls of Monte
yuma" is very brave picture, but,
of course, so are the Marines.
Milestone's genius for making
his warriors human, is as sharp
here as in "All Quiet" or, his World
War II film, "a Walk in the Sun"
His Marines are aware of the hor-
rors of war, summed up by one
of them in the dying words, "War
is too horrible for human beings
Nevertheless, led by migrane-
tortured 1t. Widmark, they fight
it from a flame-swept beach to
the top of seemingly impreg-
nable island mountain range.
Through this inferno, Milestone
is always careful to show the fig
ures of men; types perhaps but
never stereotypes.
Widmark himself is the ex-
school teacher. and the sharers
of his tensions include such others
as a former pupil on the verge
of dementia from battle strain. a
gentle medical corpsman, a kid
who hated being a non-entity, a
gentle former rize-fighter, etc
These are human beings whose
spirit twists into fears and hates
and furies which makes a drama
matching in intensity that of Mile
stones great battle scenes.
The story by Michael Blankfort
turns on stalemate in the battle
in which the imperative of success
becomes the capture of a few
prisoners who can be
made to talk Marines do not like
live Japs and the assignment of
and a handful of men
to make this patrol gives the film
a climax of excrutiating suspense.
Here is test Of mems faith,
courage, strength that is almost
beyond human capacity and Mile
stone makes it a dramatic high
point in his film worthy of the
men who could do it.
1t is much better than the after
math, an Interrogation period in
which war film formula almost
takes over to make Halls of Mon
tezuma" less of a documentary
than at any point in its tre-
mendous movement.
X X X
Widmark gives his greatest per-
formance as the tangled young
whose battle with him
self is an agony greater than that
the enemy creates for him. 1t is
but one of many excellent por-
traits in the film. Others include
Karl Maiden as the gentle hos
pital corpsman; Skip Homeier as
the kid who wanted to be a big
shot; Jack Palance as the philo-
sophie prizef1ghter; Reginald Gar
diner as a droll British inter-
prefer; Jack Webb as a Marine
correspondent, and Richard Hyl-
ton as the erve-shattered young
corporal who never failed of cour-
age in a crisis.
The Marines and Director Mile
stone are magnificent combi-
nation.

How Horses Played
Odd Part in Drama
By Ruth Deon

A pair of high spirited horses
has a lot to do with that hasty
exit that George and Martha
Washington make from their car
riage In the first act Of Faith
of Our Fathers" the sesquicen-
tennial drama now playing In the
Carter Barron Memorial Amphi-
theater.
Charles Grunwell, jr., who
plays the leading role, told the

for his rather speedy exit in

in the carriage and count to 80
to allow the chorus time to finish
singing before getting out. But
as soon as we got to the center of
the stage, the horses started bolt
ing and charging around"
Since the horses are stage
trained, MIR. Grunwell said, the
cast couldn't account for their
unruly performance.
Some self-appointed horse ex-
perts," he continued, advanced
the suggestion that the horses may
have become frightened by the
hollow sound of their own hoof-
beats as they passed over a large
trap door in the middle of the
stage. So, they tried going in front
Of the trap door.
That apparently is to no avail. ;"
Mr.. Grunwell said with a laugh,
so If you notice. I waste no time
in escorting Martha quickly out of

MIR. Grunwell. who spoke at a
luncheon meeting at the Black
stone Hotel, paid tribute to Paul
Green. author of the sesquicenten-
nial drama. Green is the only
author in America who has sung

Boby-Sitters, Before Accepting Job,

DEAR MISS DIX: In this mod

and I have discussed the duties
expected of a sitter and wonder
If other people in this job have
the same problems. We are ma
ture women who do this evening
work as supplement to our in
come and for the feeling that we
are contributing something of
ourselves to the community.
We have one complaint to make,
though. and this is not an excep-
ton but a recurrent happening.
We find, in many cases, that we
are expected to do the following
without so much as a thank
you: Cd Washing dinner dishes
(still standing at 8p.m.); ~ car
ing for neighborhood children who
drop in to visit; 90 feeding and
looking after pets. Only when
partaking of a meal do we feel
obliged to clean the kitchen, yet
we all seem to have a feeling OF
guilt If we leave the dishes in the
sink. Our responsibility. we feel
is associated with the care of the
children, that is. bathing and get
ting them properly settled in bed
often with a bedtime story. What
about it Dorothy Dix. and all YOU

a genuine complaint?
