hind while sightseeing. It all
began, he relates in Havana,
where he was stranded without
funds.
He thought he was in enough
trouble and then this babe (Miss
Medina) came up to him in a
saloon. She said she certainly
could use the services of a guide
on a romantic tour of the Ha-
vana hot-spots. Ford soon found
himself face-to-face with a
party who claimed to be an an
tiquarian (Frances L. Sullivan :,
who wished Ford to smuggle a
small package into Mexico, for
fee. 1t was a way to get home
so Ford took the job, a tactical
error, he later admits.
X X
The package, he discovered
later, contained some directions
on the location of a vast zapote-
can treasure. His possession of it
brought a number of shady peo-
pie into Ford's life. There was
the purported coffee broker
named Jefferson, for instance,
who was to turn out to be quite
unsavory before it all was over.
Also quite dead. There was that
wealthy young blond (Miss
Lynn, given to drink and other
excesses. Man never got into so
much trouble just by accepting
a small smuggling job.
Mr.. Farrow keeps things NOV
ing at fairly good clip while
Ford is relating all of this. He
also injects a fair amount of
rugged action, with Ford twisting
Diana's arm, the better to rebuff
her, and getting into several
brief, brutal encounters with that
man Jefferson.
The playing in 'Plunder of the
Sun" is good in all cases. Miss
Lynn does Standout job in her
adult impersonation of a girl
beset by glandular disorder and
personality problems, trying to
find the cure in the bottom of a
martini glass. Sean McClory is
impressive, too, as the soft
speaking, hard hitting, unscru-
pulous Jefferson.
Ford, Miss Medina and Sulli-
van are up to their usual stand
ard. Ford is easy, natural, be-
lievable; Miss Medina is most
fetching, and Sullivan is as sinis-
ter as a man needs to be in a
movie melodrama.

Loot in Zopotecon Ruins
Lures Ford to MeIodrun0u
By Harry Macarthur

The makers of "Plunder of the
Sun" owe a considerable debt to
the MexicanS who built and set
tied Oaxaca and to the ancient
civilizations Zapotecan ruins
there. BY taking their actors
and cameras to the actual scene
for the new film at the Warner
and Ambassador, Producer Rob-
ert Fellows and Director John
Farrow have given it something
of a flair.
The handsomely photographed
old Mexican town, it's scenery
and those ruins add a fillip of
interest to an otherwise routine
fiction. 1t has been turned into
a sort of Foreign Intrigue" A
mammoth. panoramic-Scree
Foreign Intrigue" at that.
Unfortunately, not all aspects
of "Plunder of the Sun" measure
up to it's visual merit. For one
thing, suspense is somewhat
mitigated by the flashback tech
nique Producer Fellows has de-
cided to employ. You don't worry
much about the hero's safety
when he is standing there telling
you how he managed to come
through it all intact.
X X X
There is not a great deal of
suspense to start with in films
about the gold, silver and jade
treasure in the ruins of long
gone civilizations. Nobody ever
has got to any of that loot with
out being felled by some ancient
evil eye or succumbing to the
curse of a long-forgotten tribal
god.
"Plunder of the Sun" has it's
assets, though. These include
some excellent playing by Glenn
Ford, Diana Lynn, Patricia Me-
dina and others and some tight
and tense moments of melodra-
matte action filmed by Farrow.
"Plunder of the Sun" begins
with Ford, In the custody of Mex
ican authorities, explaining how
an innocent American tourist
could leave a trail of bodies be-

Capitol q Cheerful SPOT
With Skeletons Latest

Half a Hero" at the Capitol
Theater is one of those cheerful
little comedies with which Hol-
lyWood sometimes surprises both
itself and its customers.
It's leading man is Red Shelton
whose presence in a film usually
means the script writer is will
ing to leave everything up to
the comedian.
Not Max Shulman who wrote
Skeletons latest. His instruc-
tionS were to create character
one who might be played, say,
by James Stewart. AS an obedi-
ent writer should, he did precise
ly this and Shelton does nifty
job of being this rather winning
fall guy.
A niftier one, in the opinion
of one spectator at the first show.
is that by Jean Hagen who plays
the half hero's wife. Miss
Hagen is an impressively pol
ished girl at light comedy and
she is in her finest fettle as a
little wife who tricks her Milque-
toast husband into success.
Skeletons role in Half a Hero"
is that of a hack magazine writ
er who knows his limitations and
is frightened to death by them.

the clutter and confusion with
which they are presented in the
play by Edward Mabley and
Joanna RooS. The lack of focus
in the writing of RED Sky at
Morning" imposes a burden upon
players and audience that is,
in one harsh word, impossible.
If the drama extracted from
Alexandra Orme'S "By the Wa
ters Of the Danube" is ever to
reach Broadway. some one will
have to come up with the recipe
for a quick miracle. AS it stands
now, the effect Of the produc-
ton is pretty much as if the
players were working from the
original novel instead of a play
script.
This impression is emphasized
by the fact that Olney's rela-
lively small stage is approx
mately as densely populated as
the pitiable quarters which the
gallant refugees actually occu-
pied under the Russians in Buda-
pest. There is such a thing as
carrying realism too far and
this is a painful sample of it.
The suggestion of "Red Sky
at Morning" is it is reaching for
one of the great tragic truths
of the time, namely that refu-
gees from Russian poisoned areas
can't go home again because
home in the deepest sense of
the word has disappeared.
It's central figure is a haunted
young Polish girl, played by
Miss Winters. She dreams with
the intensity of a sensitive hu-
man of home as a place of free
dom only to awaken finally to
the truth that there are no roads
back. The Russians have not
driven Polish freedom under
ground, nor merely forced it to
wait a brighter day, they have
killed it.
This, of course, has been said
before and less woefully labored
than it is stated in Red Sky
at Morning"

too many of her characters in
their play. A veritable multi
tude of these huddle in the Cafe
Serene, the plays single setting.
In this dust-buried, walless ruin,
the patrician refugees wage their
duel of wits with the Russian
primitives who are their jailerS.
The duel that should be clear
est, that of Miss Winters to get
back to her Polish homeland. is
obscured by the welter of lesser
conflict. She is a girl in the
dramatic situation of discov-
ering that even her sweetheart
has resigned himself to the
Communist doctrine, that she
has nothing to return to. Un-
fortunately for the play. both
she and the situation keep van
iShing.
In their absence, a pair of
pregnant young princesses fight
losing battle with the preda-
tory Russian occupation forces,
an elderly aristocrat talks cease
lessly of his past, a realist Rus
sian sergeant conducts a popular
black market with the refugees,
etc. In themselves, these are
not uninteresting humans and
some of them are competently
played, but in the aggregate
they represent rueful waste
of time.
Miss Winters, one of the deft-
est of Broadway's younger ac-
tresses. wages a gallant struggle
with the vagarieS of Red Sky
at Morning" To the extent
that it is humanity possible she
catches the vibrance of young
girl with Two loves. home and
sweetheart, and the tragedy of
the discovery that both are hope
lesSly vain
The others are less successful
in redeeming their characters
from the dimensions of mere
symbols, with which the play
is overburdened. Among those
who make out best are Richard
Hylton as the heroine's brash
young brother; Karl Weber as
the suitor who found way to
adjust to the new Poland; Syl-
via Stone as the patrician house
mother of the Cafe Serene; and
Skedge Miller as the Russian
sergeant who succeeds in living
as rugged individualist.
James Waring has designed an
impressively melancholy ruin for
the Cafe Serene which never
knows a moment of serenity
and how much better for the
play if it did.

ALBANY, NY, R - Acting 1t.
Gov. Arthur H. Wicks Wednesday

Wicks agreed to resign in the

Wicks will submit his resigna-
ton before the 1854 session of

Joseph S. Fay, quit or else be

ther they shall die for their crime.
Hall, the 34-year-old playboy

showed little signs of emotion as
the 36 pages of gruesome detail
was read.
Robert C. Greenlease, the multi

Lomen Commercials Lose

out and coach Sam Mogg had no

stem the Nanook rush and just
about pulled the game out of the
fire in the closing seconds with a
couple of dramatic baskets, only
to have the high school hit for
two of their own, with the win
ming shot coming about seven
seconds before the end of play.

Junior representatives will be
Kay Whitfield and Minnie Spr-
uill. Those from the sophomore
class will be Judy Perry, Viola
Rogers and Gary Scarborough.
Although the freshmen will have
representative, he has not been
selected, as next years freshmen
are not yet in high school.
The new staff will start with
nest egg of $3.50 toward the
1854 publication. This was left
over after all expenses were
paid for this years annual.
