PASTOR JENSEN REPLIES
Pastor Jensen, himself, declares
that the major issue is a spiritual
one and that his approach "em-
phasizes the spiritual need of
man as contrasted to the social
religious approach of the group
opposing him. In that respect, he
maintains that the group he repre-
sents and which supports him is
more conservative and represen-
tative of the Swedish Baptist Gen.
eral Conference. On the other
hand he says the opposing group
is more representative of tn e
Swedish colony" as such. T h n
there is a third, small group of
American Baptists, he says. These
different groups are more or less
in conflict with each other. says

A total of 1920 more passen-

This year, bookings are even

The new and as yet unnamed

Pastor Jensen Says He Will Not
Recognize Expulsion Vote at Church

Pastor Jensen, adding that the
conflict as whole originated long
before he assumed his duties with
the church in January of 1851.
Pastor Jensen says the Ameri-
can Baptists, referring to the nom
Scandinavian element, is split"
and DESTROYS of the church be-
coming entirely American He
adds that he is mot trying to
push out the Scandinavian ele-
ment." The major conflict, as he
sees it. is between two Scandi-
navian groups" one that he repre-
sents and the other opposing him.
Pastor Jensen says that minutes
adopted by church members at a
meeting of worship in November
enabled him ito call a special
meeting at any regular service
without prior announcement in
church bulletin or from the pull
pit" And he says that nothing
was out of order" when church
members voted to place POP men,
bers on an inactive status.
They were judged accordingly
on the basis of their failure to at
tend church services and activities
and help contribute toward meet
ing expenses of the church."

The first hurdle in the path of
a man determined to report on a
movie named Love Is Better Than
Ever" starring Elizabeth Taylor.
is the association Of that title
with Miss Taylor, an astonishingly
beautiful young girl who gets

and recently did for a second
time. Once you decide not to bring
THAT up, the way is clear to go
on. The trouble is that there is
not much else to say about the
Capitors new film.
Love Is Better Than Ever" ap-
parently has been designed on the
theory that thousands have been
awaiting the opportunity to sit
and look at Elizabeth Taylor and
listen to her and Larry Parks talk
pointlessly for an hour and Is
minutes. This is moot. but not
very. Looking at Miss Taylor does
not cause any pain, to be sure,
and most of the footage is devoted
to her. But even so, it is quite
possible to become bored with
these proceedings on the Capitol
screen, and without ever trying.
Ruth Brooks Flippen has writ
ten a screenplay for Love Is
Better Than Ever" which is strictly
Hollywood dream factory stuff. 1t
casts Parks as a carefree theatre
cal agent who spends his time
sitting around a place called
Smittie's, roofing for the Giants
at the Polo Grounds, or going to
night clubs. Miss Taylor is cast
as a New Haven dancing teacher
who gets out from under her
mothers thumb long enough to
desert the American Dancing
Teachers of America convention
and spend a week going to base
ball games and night clubs with
Parks.

Another poignantly vivid pas
sage in the story is the climactic
one in which the deceived elderly
husband and his wife's betrayer
reach an agonized understanding
of the different natures of men
There, is however, a note of
happiness in the ending of "the
Browning Version" and it is made
consistent and plausible. In this
interval, his speech of farewell,
Redgrave's master reaches the full
nobility of his nature with a clean
breast of his failure.
It is not to be missed, along with
truly fine performances by such
others in the cast as Nigel Patrick,
Ronald Howard, Wilfred Hyde
White, and especially Jean Kent
as the poisonous wife of the hero.

portrayed by Michael Redgrave
and neither he nor the brilliant

The cinema successor to "The

is a work of less fragility, more

better sustained than when "The

Without specifically approving
the surcharge. the ICC notified the

During this period, the COM

Should protests be fled, the
commission would then decide
