half and 1928 at the end of the
third period.

There is depth in the photog-
raphy of the Arch Oboler pro-
duction when viewed through
special spectacles provided for
the occasion. The depth dimen-
sion that is missing, and rather
seriously, is the one in the story.
It is as if Mr.. Oboler,. a writer
with a deserved reputation, was
SO much concerned with his adj
vanced type cameras that he for
got his old style typewriter.
This is not an Incompetent
sible thing. In fact, it is pre-
cisely paralleled in the expert
ence of the reviewer who found
himself so curious about the
methods of Natural Vision that
It's content became secondary.
The rewards of this curiosity
are several. One is that for all
It's addition of depth to the
screen image, Natural Vision is
not yet perfected in "Bwana
Devil" It's images are frequent
ly fuzzy, moving figures some
times blur, and there Is loss Of
focus in switches from light to
dark color tones. There is. how
ever, at least in the case of this
spectator, no noticeable eye
strain which was one of the COM
plants against the Oboler films
first showing in Hollywood.
The intimation of these short
comings is that this version of
third dimension is in its primi-
tive state. There is another
which is even sharper in this
suggestion. This is the practice
of breaking the showing with
two intermiSsions which goes
back to the day of the single pro-
jectionist and protector when
the movies were In their infancy.
There are reports that this prac-
tice Is related to exhibitor union
difficulties which might, at some
later date, strike the moviegoer
as irrelevant and a nuisance.
In the meantime, at least dur

Meeker's case, acquire the rights
to Miss Leigh who is Ryan's COM
panion on his fight from the
law.
From this point on, the ques-
ton raised by "The Naked Spur"
isf Who. if anybody, will survive
to collect the $1,000? And, the
collateral one of what ultimate
disposal shall be made of a girl
as attractive as Miss Leigh?
The suspense implicit in both
questions is expertly exploited
by Directors Mann.
Most of the action OF 1.-THE
Naked Spur" is concentrated in
the trek through some primitive
Colorado scenery. Seldom has a
group of more murderous-
minded travellers met and each
uses every plodding step of the
journey to devise his method for
disposing of the others.
Ryan. as guileful as he is cold
blooded. is the single buoyant
tourist in the party. It is his
light-hearted notion that by
playing the ayarice of his COM
panionS. the one against the
other, that he and Miss Leigh
are the really likely survivors of
the journey In view of Stewart's
lust for a down payment on his
ranch. Millard's yearning for a
prospector'S stake, and Meeker's
yen for both the reward and the
girl, this is sound reasoning on
Ryan's part.
Each of the flve characters in
''The Naked Spur" is expertly
handled by Mann and his play
ers. In their separate ways, they
manage a violence every bit as
exciting as that of shoot 'em-up
westerns that make use of sew
eral times as many characters.

Blessing in Disguise?
Eisenhower Serves Notice
He's the Boss on Foreign Policy

ship which no country except
the United States was in a posi-
ton to provide.
Still Gen. Eisenhower made no
move to reassure them. But now,
Senator Taft has forced the
President to relieve them of their
doubts.
At the Presidents press con-
ference yesterday, there were
some-particularly foreign cor
respondents-who would have
been happier with a more I'M
conditional rejection of Mr..
Taft'S advice. Gen. Eisenhower's
emphasis on the irritations and
Illustration involved in working
in partnership with other ma
tlons caused a certain amount
OF disappointment.
But one point. at least, was
made plain: Whatever the i'm
mediate political considerations
might be. the President was hav-
ing no part of Senator Taft's
formula for going 1t alone in
Asia and scrapping the painful
effort to build collective security
among the free nations.
If it did nothing else, the in
cident has served to clear the
political air. In Congress, it has
presented Congress with two dis
tinct rallying points-one around
Senator Taft's position of iso-
lated action; the other, around
President Eisenhower's course of
collective action. Drawn as
clearly as the issues are at the
moment, there is little question
which way the majority of Con-
gress will jump, regardless of
party affiliation.
The President seems for the
moment to have served notice
that if unity is to be preserved,
it will be preserved on his own
terms. He has demonstrated a
willingness to stick up for his
own views and an impotence
with the growing rebellion in the
party ranks. The feeling is that
If Senator Taft's speech should
turn out to be the straw that
broke the camel's back, then the
country-and the camel-will be
the better off for it in, the long
run.
