Jampol took over the lead at the
far turn and it looked like Blue
Man might have trouble catching
him.
But despite the efforts of Fer
nando Fernandez, his 45-year-old
Cuban-born rider, Jampol was a
beaten horse at the top of the
stretch as Blue Man came on by
leaps and bounds. The Abbott colt
was head in front as the field
turned for home. and from there
on it was just a question of which
horse would get second, third and
fourth money.
The $86,135 Blue Man earned by
his victory was the fourth highest
that ever went to a PreaknesS
winner. The gross purse was $113.-
270, and $4,000 of this went to
Jampol for finishing second. This
should give Kahlbaum something

Curtain about the opportunities

Producers Pine and Thomas are

They made the film starring
John Payne for those moviegoers
whose love for the outdoors is
pure and undemanding.
AS logging sagas go. "The Blaz-
ing Forest" is faithful to the
formula. Its characters are drawn
in pure blacks and whites and
their actions are shot in Techni-
color against a background Of big
trees and blue skies. This Is a tried
and proved combination ind Pine
and Thomas are the very funda-
mentalists who would be the last

Edward Ludwig's direction of
"The Blazing Forest" makes i'm

vast, dramatic operation. 1t goes
into considerable detail of how
the job is done with modern equip

There probably is something
terrifcally funny about money. It
may be the most ridiculous notion
man ever had. Both points will
have to wait further proof. how
ever, than 1T Grows on Trees" the
edy-fantasy at Keith's with
Irene Dunno.
This is not to say that Universal
Pictures has completely failed in
It's effort to make five dollar bills
as funny as talking mules named
Francis and gifted chimpanzees
registered as Bonzo.
There is Spotty merriment in
Miss Dunne's adventure as owner
of a small money-tree orchard. It
is amusing to see her paying big
bills with money that withers ike
leaves in autumn, and making
monkeys of United States Treasury
masterminds. It is just that these
and other gags in 1T Grows on
Trees" never are as funny ss they
should be, if only because every
body has learned to take money so
seriously.
Miss Dunne's role in the film
directed by Arthur Lubin Is that of
feather-brained wife and mother
in a middle-class Connecticut
home. Money is her most battling
problem and her way of dealing
with it keeps the family budget in
shreds. She cannot resist bargains,
for one thing. even those in a pair
of hybrid trees.
This deal strikes her loving ltus-
band as most fantastic of all she
has made and, to his consterna-
ton, it turns out that he is right.
Amazingly these prove to be money
trees, one a five-dollar- -bill-tree,
the other tenner.
The husband, an accountant who
knows about legal-and illegal
tender. warns Miss Dunno against
passing her money crop in the
normal currency channels. Her
reaction to this is that she knows
a fool when she is married to one.
Accordingly, she goes on a SPEND
ing spree that threatens the entire
national economy, and manages a
few merry moments in the process.
The major fault of 1T Grows on
Tress" is that of many a promising
fantasy idea. namely that no one
involved quite believes it himself
If those who are paid for their
faith in the picture disbelieve it,
how is the poor audience which
paid to see it going to believes? It
doesn't, at least at too many mo-
ments of the film. ."
Miss Dunno gets her most
plausible assistance from Dean
Jaeger as her realistic husband
and Joan Evans provides the film S
bright decorative touch.
