President Would Be Mistaken
Those Henry County Formers Aren't Creeping Socialists
But Just Average Upstondnq Hoosier Republicans
Lowell MeNett:.

Your indulgence is asked for
q few nostalgia recollections,
aroused by a little item from
back home in Indiana. They
concern my Uncle Jim. a
Henry County farmer. That's
the county in which my father
was born and grew up and,
while I never saw much of it,
it occupied a large place in my
mind because Of the stories ne
told of his boyhoOd there. The
first time 1 saw it was when
he piled us all into the surrey
yes, with the fringe on top
and drove US over for a visit
with Uncle jim and Aunt Judy.
Henry County disappointed
me. but Uncle Jim did not. The
county did not seem any diff
ferent from the one in which
we lived. But Uncle Jim had a
nicer way with town boys than
other farmers had. He helped
us have a good time, didn't
laugh at our ignorance and
didn't play any little barnyard
Jokes on us.
Uncle Jim was quite a man;

advantage of it to give them

The incident has a point,
but Gen. Eisenhower is unlike

not countenance the studied
efforts under way in his ad-

The Presidents message said:

pie of Philadelphia are turning
their thoughts to those who are

fruits of our freedom in the years

from the Creator of us all. To
them we must transmit the heri-

our highest duty. And no less
must we inspire in them the vir-

understanding with which to de-

news item. It reads:
Henry County Rural Elec-

first borrower to pay back it's
full debt to the Rural Electro

farm electric service. The
coop received it's first REA
loan of $4,000 in 1886 and
subsequent loans brought the
total TO $655,513 in 1941. Final
payment on the loan was made
when the coop gave REA a
check for $100,053.
Under the original repay

HOLLYWOOD.
If Hollywood had the time to
fret about anything but the
major issues of life and death,
it might turn some deep thought
to the exodus Of many top-notch
producers, directors and tech
nicians-to say nothing of actors
by the score-all heading toward
Steadier. if not more lucrative,
jobs in televiSion.
Harassed by what they con-
slider much more immediate
headaches. all major studios
have been virtually inviting their
best brains-people they have
kept under contract for 20 years
to get employment elsewhere,
anything to get them off the
weekly payrolls.
If the film industry suddenly
were to find itself back to nor
NAL boxof6ce. it would be in a
most desperate Situation-if only
because TV has shared top
cameramen, lighting wizards and
other experts who cannot pos
sibly be replaced. And the raids
are continuing every day.

the interim story intervals, of
which there is a considerable
oversupply, that the picture bogs
down and leaves the spectator
with the single consolation that
this is JeSSel'S farewell.
In leaving the payroll of goth
Century-Fox studios, JeSsel has
no ground for complaint at the
grandeur of his exit. The COM
pany fairly buries him in high
calber stars of the music and
dancing world. Moreover, to the
pretty penny these cost, the
studio added the expense of a
production that is opulent in its
smallest detail.
This is the way it has always
been with the works of Jessel,
none of which ever before
boasted Of such performers as
Pima, Roberta Peters, Tamara
Toumanova, Jan Peerce Gas a
disembodied voice on the sound
track, David Wayne and Anne
Bancroft.
The ground for the summons
to all of these in Tonight We
Sing" is that the lavish musical
purportS to tell the story Of
Sol Hurok. AS everyone should
know, Hurok is the music i'm
pressario who has lifted the art |
of music to the level of a great !
commerce in America.
The list of attractions he has
imported, from Anna Pavlowa and |
Feodor Chaliapin to Jean-Louis
Barrault in 1852, is amazing. It
has made the phrase "Sol Hurok
presents" as commonplace across
the landscape of America as Il
do" Well, almost. Certainly it.
is grounds for a movie that adds
up to a thunderous medley or
cavalcade, of Hurok triumphs.
\ X X 4
Hurok's own, and Ruth
Goodies, story of his life as an
impressario provides the basis
of the screenplay by Harry Kur-
nitz and George Oppenheimer,
which Mitchell Leisen directed. !
With David Wayne as Hurok,
the script relates with consider j
able good nature and no lack of !
self f-conf1dence that the hero of |
Tonight We Sing" is no man to
accept Illustration. Back in Rus
sia, old white Russia, Hurok
tried and failed to master every
musical instrument but the
either. That one he did not try. !
He went on loving music, how
ever, and the world of musicians
and dancers. It occurred to him !
that he could manage these bet |
ter than they were managing
themselves. The artists, mis- |
guided children at heart, were !
slow to recognize the boon Hurok
offered. This kept them from the
masses Hurok foresaw as the
artists proper audience, and it |
kept him in poverty for decades. |
But, it could not, and did not
last.
Pavlowa, and the violinist Eu-
gene Ysaye, and after them many |
others put themselves in Hurok'S !
hands. And finally, the most |
stubborn of them all. Chaliapin.
The great bear of a basso,
played by Pima, was Hurok's
first quarry and hardest to land,
but he ended up where Hurok
intended-the masters man.
X X + y
It is strictly a formula fable
that provides the basis for "To-
night We Sing" but both per-
formers and spectators escape it
in the stunning
musical score and its perform
ance.
For the first time since he sue
cumhed to the Establishments
and the gold of Hollywood, Pima
finds himself in a role worthy
of his singing and acting art.
AS Chaliapin, he works in his
own album of great and familiar
excerpts from Faust"
and Boris Goudenov." Singing
these, Pima is a man come home
and worthy of a hearty welcome.
