OLIVER TWIST" United Artists pic
ture, produced by j. Arthur Rank Cineguiid
Ronald Neame, directed by David Lean
sereenplay by Lean and Stanley Haynes
from Charles Dickens novel At the
Evening star., 1951-09-03

brings to rich life one of the
great human stories of Charles
Dickens. In every quality, it keeps
faith with a writer who has held
successive generations spellbound
with his insight into the courage
and cowardice and the decency
and brutality of 18th century
English life.
oliver Twist" is a new screen
play only because its release was
held up for several seasons by OBJ
jectionS to its portrait of Fagin
as an anti-Semitic character. In
its present form, such protests are
invalid. English society of the 10Th
century. with it's greed and pow
erty, is far more OF villain than
the character so masterfully
played by Alex Guinness. Indeed.
there is a quality ir this Fqgin
which leaves lin something of a
ruefully sympathetic creature. Like
Oliver he is victim of condi-
tions, although a far less innocent
one.
y y X
The same miracle of feeling
that went into Great Expecta-
tions' is deeply realized again in
the second Lean-Neame produc-
ton. Their film represents the
very recreation of the atmosphere
of the England of which Dickens
wrote. The spectator fairly
breathes the air of divers ad-
venture from brutality and wretch
edneSs to happy small boyhood.
This is implicit in the fact that
the producers never forget they
are writing" with camera.
They set their pictures mood in
a remarkably moving first scene
in which Oliver is brought into
the world in the midst of violent
storm in the dismal delivery room
Of an English workhouSe.
The life which starts in this de-
graded space is followed with
equal fidelity to Dickens nara
tive Of the small boy who could
not be defeated by the most cour-
ageous conspiracy of circum-
stance. In this. the producers of
Oliver Twist" have been extraor-
dlnarily fortunate in their discov-
cry of young John Howard Davies
to play the films title role.
This is lad with the face of an
angel and the heart of young
lion. Against the most dismal of
odds and under the most ter
rifying dangers, he can suggest
the unconquerable human spirit
which must have it's happiness if
there is shred of justice in the
universe.
Even when it is most diligent
in exploring the squalor of his
vorkhouse childhood, his appren-
tlceshlp to Undertaken Sower-
berry, and his later servitude to
Fagin in London. the camera here
never deserts its hero. To his
eternal credit as an actor-even
if he decides later to become
jet pilot-young Davies never lets
1t down. He is the screen char
scter of 1851 with whom audi
ences will suffer most and ulti-
mately find the greatest happiness.

The same brilliance of casting
is evident in the other characters
Of oliver Twist"

IDLY cleverly made character,
mean, furtive and poisonously
cunning. yet in strange way
redeemed by some touch OF kind
ness for the waits who wander
into his orbit. AS a leader of
the outcasts of London, there is
not merely high drama but a
measure of justice in his screamed
defiance to the mob, What right
have you to butcher me?"

wrought characters brought to
vivid life in Bill Sykes, played

The general prevailing idea
seems to be that once you leave

tary on this attitude that so many
of those who shun bread ard po-
tatoes find the scales standing
still or moving in the wrong direc-
ton.
I think this idea grew because

starches and sugars to a low level.
However, potatoes (baked give
you only few calories (unless you
load the butter on) and bread
(white enriched bread or real
whole wheat gives you food
values you need.
I think also that bread and po-
tatoes have acquired a bad name
among reducers because they are
so tempting a foil for big build

toes au gratin-or stuffed-or

Think of bread with a slab of

Notes From the Food Conference
By Violet Foulkner

CHICAGO.-There's no better
way for q bunch of busy food
editors to start q schedule-packed
day than with good breakfast.
To see that we began the day
properly nourished, Swift & Com
pany were our hosts this morn
ing at o Western-Style chuck
wagon breakfast. The occasion,
Of course, being the ninth annual
food editors conference held this
week in Chicago with heaquarters
at the Drake Hotel.
After a luxurious breakfast.
Mrs. Beth Bailey Mclean, direc-
tor Of home economics for Swift,
gave us some sound tips on meal
planning which included meat in
the breakfast pattern. She cited
recent nutrition studies conducted
at leading universities throughout
the country that have shown high
quality protein foods meat,
eggs, and cheese should be
eaten at all three meals Of the
day. A survey among q group of
college women at the University
of Nebraska showed that one
group Of students utilized the pro-
tein to better advantage when itI
was distributed over three meals
Of the day than another group did
when the same amount Of protein
was eaten in one meal.
There was no doubt we had our
fair share Of protein this morn
ing. Included on the chuck wagon
table, along with shirred eggs in
individual ramekins. were plat
ters of crisp bacon, broiled slices
of pink. juicy ham. pork sausagesI
in links and patties, and creamed
dried beef on piping hot baking
powder biscuits. See what I,
mean by being well fortified for
the day?
Mrs. Mclean showed how
quickly cooked meats can be
worked into the breakfast menu;
she also suggested the use of table
ready meats. meat loaves, canned
luncheon meats, canned cornedI
beef hash. pan-fried slices of
Daisy hams. and omelets and
scrambled eggs made with canned
chopped meats for junior. There's
no need for monotony in menu
planning with such a variety of
quick cooking meats to select
from, she stated. The enticing
aroma Of meat waiting through |
the house is one solution of rous-
ing the sleepyheads and bringing
them to the table in jig time, she
added.

Reading
Problems?
By AnaeIo Pafri

There seems TO be more than
Ordinary difficulty In teaching
children to read today. and can
not understand It. In the school
I headed in New York City, a very
large, crowded school in a foreign
born community. with beginners
classes of over SO, we taught chill
dren to read.
The little ones entered the first
grade about the age of s. We had
five months to teach them to read.
We did so. We used the Free and
TreadWell readers and manuals.
These books were of literary value.
The stories, 1.-THE Pancake, !"
Chicken Little" 'The Little Red
Hen," delighted the children. They
.recited the stories. dramatized
them, learned the vocabulary and
made use of it.
Toward the end of the last
month Of the term the superin-
|tendent. DR.. Joseph Taylor, visited
the school and examined every
class in the fundamental subjects
of the grade. The children loved
to read to him and he enjoyed
listening to them immensely. He
selected the story, announced the
page. and the session was on. No
primary grade ever failed to reach
his standard; more than 80 per
cent of the class must read. They
did so as a matter of course.
The teachers of these grades
were trained, experienced, able
women. They knew how to teach
little ones reading. The story,
the sentence, the principal word,
then the phonic drill. Until a
child knows phonics he cannot
read a new word. The phonic
elements are his tools for read
ing. Once he has command of
them he is on his way.
Yes. we had a few. a very few,
who failed but they were not what
is now known as non-readers.
Maybe one had just come of the
ship, one had been pushed into
school under false birth certi-
ficate, or one was underdeveloped.
If we had a feebleminded one, he
would be treated according to his
needs in a special class, but the
others would be reading next
term. They were not promoted
but kept with the same teacher.
She, knowing them, could get to
work to teach them without loss
of time.
We had no remedial classes for
we needed none. We had many
problems of many sorts, but fail
.ures in reading were not among
the children who entered the
school at the first grade. We had
such failures in the upper grades
where some of those coming from
a foreign country, some from other
schools, rarely public schools, had
not been taught to read when their
learning power was at its height,
about their sixth year of life.
Any efficient teacher trained to
teach little children can teach
more than 80 per cent of them to
read. Teaching is what is needed.
