'Hongn1on's S Knot
Explores Mans
Lust for Gold

''HANcSMAN's KNOT" Columbia
picture, produced by Harry Joe Brown.
directed by Roy Higgins, screenplay by
Higgins. At Keith's.
Evening star., 1953-01-01
By Harry Macarthur

It is truly, as the man said:
the love Of money is the root Of
evil. A quarter of q million dol
lars worth of gold. in large
economy-size bars. is a consider
able root, too. This is demon
strated with a great deal Of gun
play, fire, dynamite explosions,
thunder, lightning and other as
sorted commotion in ''Hangman's
Knot" with which Keith's is
greeting 1858.
"Hangman's Knot" Is q cut
above some other Technicolor
dramas which have been dedi-
Gated to Randolph Scott's set jaw,
steely eye and quick draw. This.
quite likely, is due to the fact
that its director and scenarist
were the same man. This always
lends a film more unity than is
achieved when a screenplay
gathers varied points of view as
it passes from writer to writer
on it's way to a director who has
his own ideas about it.
Roy Higgins Is the writer
director credited with 'Hangman's
Knot" He has kept it simple and
direct. He starts with a bloody
conflict, follows this with a chase
sequence, then devotes the rest Of
his film to a long suspense Sc
quence. It's more literate and
clean-out than you expect an
action drama to be.
Scott, at the outset. is leading
a band of Confederate troops
raiding a Union force to get a
shipment Of gold the South badly
needs. They make out fine, but
are somewhat startled to learn

from the last surviving Union Of
|ficer that the war has been over
several weeks. This makes the
Confederate soldiers outlaws, with
posses on their trail.
In flight they take over a stage
COACH which gets Donna Reed
and q man who purports to be her
fiiance into the act. This works
out better for Scott than for the
man wooing Donna. but there is
a deal Of snarling conflict before
it does.
Most of this takes place in the
stage station. where the Confed-
crates spend the rest of the pic
ture trying to figure a way out
Of their dilemma. Outside is a
well-armed posse. It turns out
to be an unofficial posse. more in
terested in gold than anything
else. but this is an academic diff
ference so far as the trapped
Southerners are concerned. Be-
fore he winds up in fire and
storm, Higgins demonstrates in
several ways how demoralizing
that lust for gold can be.
While he is about it he gets
some good performances out of
his cast. Most notable are Frank
Faylen's impersonation of South
ern soldier with a dry sense Of
humor and Claude Jarman's play
ing Of a young Confederate who
can't make himself shoot to kill.
Miss Reed is capable as well as
decorative and Scott is his usual
self. Good man, equal to any
Western hazard erected by man
or nature.
"Hangman's Knot" has the out
ward aspect Of one more action
drama, but it is on a solder foun->
dation than most.

Miss Kellerman's day. when
she was the reigning queen Of
New York's famed Hippodrome
Theater. probably was not actu-
ally this brilliant. There cannot
have been technicians in the field
of production to equal those on
Metros payroll today. This is
a matter Of small Importance,
however. What counts here is
that no woman in history, includ-
ing Eva Peron. has ever been re-
warded with such a Tai Mahal
of movie.
The story which Everett Free
man provided as the cornerstone
of Million Dollar Mermaid"
abounds in enthusiasm. The
greatest achievement it credits to
Miss Kellerman is pioneering the
one-piece bathing suit. This, how
ever, was enough for Author
Freeman and any one who mini
mizes it clearly has no right
among Miss Kellerman's posterity.
In general outline, Miss Keller
mans career follows that of sol
many entertainers who have
achieved success. She learned toI
swim as a crippled child in Aus
tralia, found the sport so bene-
fetal that she recovered and be-
came swimming champion. In
grown girlhood, she moved to Eng
land with her music-teacher
father with the idea of becoming
a ballet dancer.
When the arts betrayed them
both as a means of livelihood,
Miss Kellerman succumbed to the
temptation of a promoter Victor
Mature) to become an acquatic
professional. Thereafter. it was
a matter of time until her
name was in four-story lights on
the Hippodrome. Time. and the
usual vicissitudes that beset back
stage people.
Miss Williams has fired the
of MGMs production
geniuses in number of pictures.
but never as in Million Dollar
Mermaid" Here she swimS in
glass walled oceans, scars into
the stratosphere on columns of
water, and conducts herself always
as a girl who is perfectly at home
in any miracle the designers can
manage.
1t is a brilliant sight. that you
can bet.

Gen. Curtis E. LeMay Jim Backus
OF the millions of men who
fought World War II. none sur
passed the dramatic experience
of Col. Paul Tibbets. He is the
pilot who dropped the atom bomb
on Hiroshima and whose own life
was a nightmare before he gave
humanity the one it still lives
with.
Col. Tibbets' story is told for
the first time in "Above and Be-
yond," new screen attraction at
the Palace. It is not helped by
some flagrant lapses into pure
cinemaese, but not even these can
keep it from achieving consider
able dramatic wallop. Its flaws.
indeed. may be excused to some
extent on the ground that the
thread of a personal story is
difficult to handle in the texture
of one so big as that of the bomb.
To. Robert Taylor and Eleanor
Parker have fallen the tasks of.
acting the roles of Paul and Lucey
TibbetS. For the most part. they
give praiseworthy mutations of
what must be two of the most
emotionally torn figures of the
war.
above and Beyond" is an Off
cially approved story made with
the cooperation of the Air Forces.
It's emphasis is divided equally
between the crushing burden of
his difficult military assignment
and the anguished one of its effect
upon his private life. Mrs. Tib-
bets, the film makes clear, was
no wife to surrender without COM
plant a husband to a mission
even so secret as that involving
the A-bomb.
AS the three-man script Of
"Above and Beyond" sketches him
for Actor Taylor. Col. Tibbets is
a special airborne human He is
not the type who takes orders
docilely He has ideas of his own
and expresses them. He is. how
ever, a wizard sort with tough
problems. This is why he is asked
to iron the lethal bugs out of the
first B-29s. and to head the mis-
sion of preparing the plane for
the great bomb-drop.
His success with his technical
dilemmaS is greater by far than
that with his marital ones. Nat
urally, he cannot tell Mrs. Tibbets
what he is up to. Rather unnat-
urally, she cannot understand that
there might be supremely good
reason for this. The dramatic
consequence is that he works at
his major war job under con-
stantly harrassing domestic bonn
bardment. The Tibbets' marriage.
therefore, is ruin some months
before Hiroshima is reduced to
one.
The dramatic highlight of the
film at the Palace is in its reve-
lation of the hero's need to de-
humanize himself to handle his
A-bomb assignment. To enforce
the savage discipline he imposes
on those around him, including
the big, secret B-29 base in Utah,
requires him virtually to strangle
each of his own normal instincts.
This makes for a good show
and Taylor brings it off well for
the most part. His failures are
on the domestic level where the
Screenscript is unable to prevent
the intimation that Miss Parker
has one of the most unreasonable
roles of the season to play.
The flying scenes of Above
and Beyond" many of them tests
under the most hazardous of con-
ditions, provide the film with an
endless succession of spine-chil1-
ing sequences. The most har-
rowing of these. of course, is that
which recalls the takeoff of the
Enola Gay from Kwajelein on the
most destructive single mission

Gloves Are
My Hobby


to make gloves, 1 volunteered to
lead this project. First, instructions
were read, but in trying to cut and
sew pair of gloves out of an old
leather jacket found that needed
better instructions. So I went to
the leather dealer in the home town.
His wife gave me two lessons in
glove making.
Well the day rolled around when
we had to try our hands at glove
making. Some wanted to cut their
own gloves, others had them already
cut by our local dealer Here I was
trying to instruct some in cutting,
others in sewing. To sum it up,
out of the II women trying to make
gloves, about 5 succeeded. Others
either cut them wrong or felt it
was more trouble than it was worth.
Other home demonstration clubs
called on me to demonstrate. BY
this time had cut and made several
pairs and felt it was a worthwhile
project. Perhaps also some of the
problems we first confronted had
been solved.
First we trace the hand, with
pencil, as little tot in kindergarten
traces his hand, then cut the pattern
out with scissors. We also measure
the hand around the knuckles with
a tape measure and subtract one
half inch. That gives the size of
the glove to be made. 1t can be cut
from any material-buckskin, doe,
suede, cape or fabric. Several diff
ferent stitches can be used. And
there is no end to the designs or
silkings to be used on the back of
ladies' gloves.
A glove that really fits is joy
forever. Perhaps one hand is small
Ter than the other, or a finger is in
jured or even missing. Perhaps one
hand is missing. All right, glove
can be made to fit any hand regard
less of shape-or two gloves for the
same hand All sorts of things can
be worked out.
On a three month vacation last
winter that took husband, my son
and me over 10 states and mileage
of 9,113, 1 sewed and sold IL pairs
of gloves and took orders for IA
more to be made at later date.
l have made 127 pairs to date
Have 81 deer skins to be worked
up this year, besides the ones that
will be wanted in suede, cape or
other materials.
Of course one could hardly be-
come rich sewing gloves by hand.
That isn't the idea. One person said
to me, Don't you get tired of sew
ing gloves all the time?" My answer
was, mot at all. In fact, I only
sew when I am in the notion, but
while I'm placing each stitch I'm
thinking of the person whom they
are to fit perfectly"
"Personalized Gloves" really fiji
like a glove. You, too, can make
your own or gifts for friends. Hands
like feet, are no two exactly alike
I like to think of this quotation
Beautiful hands are those that dc
work of the noble, brave and true.

On Copper Purchase

Chile's threat to sell copper to

secrecy that has surrounded

purchase.

lara would say only that he is
awaiting official word from his
government. Officials of the

which must make the decision on
any purchase by this country,
would say only that minutes of

has been delayed, they said, do
not mean that the question has
been put aside, but only that the
discussion is still going on.
At the current market price of
20 to 80 cents a pound, which
Chile has indicated it would ac-
cept, the present surplus of rs, 900
tons would cost the United States
close to $50 million. Last Feb

offering as much as 40 cents a
