that it will be there rather a
long time, as gleeful an expert
ence for Miss Crawford's nom
admirers as it is a happy one for
those who have suffered with
her through the Goth century.

y X y \
Be that as it may. to get back
to Mr.. Yordan. he is not a man
to ignore the challenge Miss
Crawford represents to a writer
familiar with her acting style.
The role he creates for her is
that of proprietress of a saloon
and gambling hell in the western
wasteland. She has chosen the
site because she knows it is go
ing to become an important rail-
road terminal. This bit of in
telligence she has picked up in
way you do not learn at Welles-
ley. 1t is a skill that does not
increase her popularity with the
ranchers in the area who want
neither a rail terminal nor.
woman like Joan around.
These rich night-riders are a
terrifying lot, the most frighten-
ing of them a splitting wildcat
played by Mercedes Mccain
bridge. They constitute a posse
which batters Miss Crawford
with every conceivable violence.
But does she retreat? Never an
inch. Instead she dons her $3,-
600 slacks. wraps her holster
around her hips. sets her famous
granite jaws, and Kisses edicts
that stop the mob, time after
time, in its tracks.
Johnny Guitar" provides Miss
Crawford with a succession of
big scenes that would destroy a
less savagely conditioned actress.
The worst they do to her is leave
her painting, somewhat like a
PreaknesS winner.

BILE scenes of this stature are:
