cast headed by Frank Sinatra,
David Wayne. Celeste Holm and
Debbie Reynolds. As so digni-
ned a studio would, MGM has
kept this romantic jest within
Hollywood code requirements. AT
the same time, it takes q rela-
lively broad view of the mating
instinct which has always led
its victims into some ridiculous
predicaments.
y ~
The premise of "The Tender
Trap" is that a well dressed
reasonably well-heeled bachelor
IN New York is more sought
after than uranium.
Frank Sinatra plays this hu-
morous specimen in the Capitol's
picture and the evidence of his
plight Is overwhelming. He is
trailed to his luxurious pent-
house lair by as attractive a
group of huntresses as only Hol-
lywood could offer. These come
not merely to provide their
quarry with the ultimate in COM
panionship but to cook his
meals, mix his drinks. clean the
apartment and In general to
prove how serviceable their types
can be.
Sinatra is bearing up, although
one could hardly say handsomely.
under all this attention until old
college chum David Wayne
shows up. Wayne a refugee from
his Indianapolis wife and three
children, takes one look at his
friends set-up and explodes into
q mixture of envy and righte-
business.
This Is clearly an amusing
combination of emotions and

AS in the case of the stage
version, the filmed Tender

full in concealing either its thin
ness. its struggle against being
repetitive. or its comparative lack
Of freshness.
The performers do, however,
give it the works. Hollywood

Many Pupils Facing
Remedial Courses
TotuI Is so Pct.
Of First-Yeur
High Pupils
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Nearly half Of the Districts
high school freshmen may be
headed for special remedial
courses next September-if the
school system has enough
teachers.
Assistant Supt. Carl r. Ham
sen, In a report urging establish
ment of such special classes. has
disclosed that percentage Of
students was at least three years
below grade In arithmetic tests
given last spring.
A somewhat smaller number
of the high school beginners-or
about one-fourth-tested three
grades or more behind in read.
ing. These students also may be
required to enroll in special
Icatch-up classes next fall.
Drastic Revamping
DR.. Hansen, who this year
took over administration Of high
schools, has informed school
principals he is proposing a
drastic course revamping to cope
with low achievem mt test
scores.
The Hansen plan, disclosed
yesterday by The Star, would
make remedial courses-with in
many cases a special terminal"
diploma compulsory for all stu
dents starting high school with
below seventh-grade achieve
Iment test scores in reading or
arithmetic.
Under DR.. Hansen's proposal,
tagging students not only would
take special courses in low
achievement subjects, but the
school system would set up an
entire course Of study especially
tailored for students not able to
meet normal standards.
Tougher for College
A new, tougher course program
for college-preparatory students
also is being planned. with sitter
requirements in science, mathe-
MATES. social studies and foreign
languages.
Yesterday The Star obtained
ia rundown on the results of last
springs tests. which DR.. Hansen
referred to partially in his re-
port. At the time of the tests
students now in Grade 10-A, the
first year of high school. were
expected to be at the 9-B level.
Here is how the students
showed UP in the tests:
