improvement on the original.
This has been by no means
always the case in Hollywood,s
handling of such material.

In this instance, however,
the producer went south tto
Savannah to find the proper
" eloquent atmosphere, warm.

story. A writer himself. this
man. Philip Dunno, did q
superb job Of adapting Basso's
narrative. and then as the
Aims director cast it superbly
with such a fresh-faced pair
as Dana wynter and Richard
Egan.
The result is a picture that
cannot fail to show why popu-
lar fiction can be so much
more deservedly popular when
adapted intelligently to the
screen. It adds up TO the kind
Of professionalism of which
Hollywood can be proud.
Basically, the weeks fourth

Hearing Tomorrow
Seeks 10 Free Boy,
Send Him 10 School
By chorIes G. Brooks

| The Municipal Court of APP
peals tomorrow will consider q
motion to free on bond a Ia
year-old boy committed to the
| Welfare Department by the Ju-
venile Court. The defense attor-
ney has demanded an immediate
hearing to get the boy back into
public high school.
The hearing. requested Thurs
day, was granted after Attorney
James j. Laughlin told the ap-
pellate court the boy should re-
turn to school this week rather
than remain at the Districts
Children's Center at Laurel, Md.
| At the same time Mr.. Laugh
! lin filed a motion in the appel
late court to compel Juvenile
Court Judge Edith H. Cockrill to
set aside the commitment order
which she made last October.
charging that the boy was not
advised in court of his right to
an attorney.
Procedures May Be Upset.
If the appeals court grants
this motion, the procedural sys-
tenn of the Juvenile Court may
be upset.
Since Judge Cockrill began
permitting reporters to attend
certain sessions in the court,
observers have noted that
neither she nor her clerk advise
children of a right to have an
attorney.
In a number of instances. how
ever, the parents of children
have asked the judge to let them
obtain counsel and she has con-
tinued the hearing for that pur-
pose. Theoretically, the social
worker making the pre-hearing
investigations advises the child
Of his rights.
The motion contends that the
boy and his mother would have
obtained an attorney last Oc-
tober had they been advised of
the child's rights. It holds that
Judge Cockrill should have told
the boy he could have a lawyer
if he wished.
Second Time in Court.
Last october the boy was COM
mitted by the judge to the We'll
fare Department which placed
him in Children's Village at
Laurel. His mother, who lives
in a good northwest neighbor-
hood, did not obtain counsel.
It was the second time the
boy had faced the court on ac-
cusations that he was involved
in the unauthorized use of an
auto. He was already on pro-
baton.
Last Thursday. however. Mr..
Laughlin asked Judgh Cockrill
to set aside her commitment,

French Riviera, became Amer
ica's first truly popular sports

1t was quickly followed by the
cotton mesh, zipper-closed ten
mis- shirt. But like the old joke,
you could get any color shirt -
if it was white. In the '30's when
men began taking off their coats
as they relaxed, and millions
started to golf, fish and bowl,
clothes began loosening up.
Blues, yellows and browns were
first considered daring.
World War II put millions into
outfits whose color was strictly
GI. Postwar development was
slow. Then the motor makers
started the trend. For a long
time, they'd concentrated on inn
proving engineering and miles to
the gallon, only to discover this
didn't automatically make sales.
That undefinable something
called style caused men to reach
for checkbooks as much as it
did women. Detroit style COM

the cash register, than someone
else topped it with something

preening more than the distaff

can men conscious of wardrobe

The evidence seems to bear
him out. Not long ago, most men
averaged new outfit only once
every three years. They stayed
content with a business suit, a
Sunday special and an old slouch
hat, even when the little woman
insisted she wouldn't leave the
