The Cast
BY HARRY MACARTHUR

"Othello" probably has beer
played to the hilt on more thar
one occasion during its long life
but 1t never was really blud-
igeoned until Orson Welles goi
to 1t with movie camera and
Imicrophone. This is the second
of the Shakespearean tragedies
Mr.. Welles has attempted to i'm
print ON Aim. Unfortunately II
comes on ton the Plaza Theatel
SCREEN as q Shakespearear
tragedy all right, but one that
has, happened to him.
It Is q striking picture Mr.
IWelles has made, as leading
actor, producer and director. II
strikes you in the eye, the ear
and Git seems, at least) flush on
the law. It's action swirls In
great furies and its sound track
assails you with stridencies. in
Guiding some completely unin-
telligible dialogue. The film
roars through some fine old
yaulted chambers and in and
around some magnificent piles
|of Venetian stone that look like
they would dwarf the Pentagon
Mr.. welles does churn up ex-
citement, all right, in this
"Othello," but with an unfor-
tunate and probably unintended
result. While he is conducting
his frantic and noisy assault on
moyiegoers. "Othello" becomes
and suffers the usual fate OF. an
innocent bystander.
OF all Of Shakespeare's TRACE
dies, "Othello' probably enkin-
dies the most empathy in the
average man or woman. You can
feel the others. but this tale Of
passionate jealousy is not some
thing that could happen only to
q great heroic figure. There Is Q
bit Of Observation-Disclosures
of-God-go-I about "Othello."
Consequently. it gets lost when
it is overwhelmed by this man,
moth. surging production, by
bravura acting that often seems
to be aimed at the second ball
cony and by booming sound
track underscoring. Instead Of
becoming gripping as 1t moves
to its ultimate tragedy. 1t be-
comes q buffoon on the screen,
burlesquing itself.
This seems to indicate that Mr..
Welles Is a better actor than q
producer or director. Certainly
his Ohtello is . valid and really
not overly theatrical one, as sus-
picion Of his wife grows and
churns and finally destroys him.
Mr.. Welles also has a fine eye
for q black-and-white picture.
it must be admitted. Part Of the
diversion from the most Of the
tragedy here Is stunning photog-
raphy. II you're . camera fiend
you're sure to enjoy "Othello.
though you may want ear plugs
And II you're q Shakespeare
fiend you probably should see it.
too. Your views Of 1t are almost
sure to get you into some stimu-
lating arguments.

By JAY CARMoDY

It Is one thing to be high
minded and quite another to be
over-anxious to let everyone
know 1t.
This Is the weakness OF "At

ture at Loew's Columbia. Here
u o western with an ambition to
be another t.High Noon" q
worthy purpose IL there ever was
one, but one that 1t defeated by
its own excesses.
Hero Of the production, which
Is in color and CinemaScope. Is
Fred MacMurray. He plays q
mousey, frontier st0rekeeper
whose display Of courage finally
arouses his community TO rid it.
self Of q band Of vengeful gun
men. MacMurray's character
has the makings Of quite noble
example for the unarmed mass
Of humanity. but not with the
script writer's slips showing 50
eonspicuously.
The good idea that goes wrong
on the Columbia's screen revolves
about q promising human type.
This Is Q simple, peace-loving
tradesman whose first wild shot
fred from Q six-gun brings down
the leader Of q bandit gang.
For q guy so awkward with q
gun, this turns MacMurray into
d hero in the eyes Of his towns
men. At the same time. his pic
ture in the paper makes him
the No. / target Of the gangs
vengeance which plunges the
community into such q psychotic
terror that it asks its yesterdays
hero to leave.
The Allied picture. directed by
Alfred Worker, has some sharp
observations to make on the be-
haviour Of those involved In this
situation. Unfortunately its over
tnsistence upon these Is such as
TO nullify their dramatic effort,
including climatic scene whose
honesty otherwise might have
made the picture something
special.
! As the character who discovers
that he would rather die like
= man than live like q ccwardly
mongrel, MacMurray gives the
subdued performance expected
Of his type. He is supported as
the script permits by Dorothy
Malone as his terrified wife, and
Tommy Rettig Is his pre-teen
son.
Allied has employed q number
Of competent others to represent
the craven fellow townsmen and
the cruelty avenging gunner.

Virqinio's Third Party

There is one thing which can be said
for Virginia'S third party-it does not
pretend to outbid the major parties in
appealing for voter support.
This third party has formally entered
the race with T. Coleman Andrews, for
mer Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
as It's presidential candidate. 1t will be on
the ballot in Virginia, and, under one
name or another, in Is other States. Thus,
there will be substantial opportunity
for recording voter preference between
this ultraconServatiVe movement and
what Mr.. Andrews calls the hopelesSly
Socialistic policies of both the Democratic
and the Republican Parties. In his &C
ceptance speech in Richmond Monday
night, Mr.. Andrews said the major parties
have started "a grasshopper race toward
socialism with the Democrats always one
hop ahead of the Republicans and both
winding up, as they have now, so far to
the left that neither of them can turn
back" The choice before the voters, he
said, is to continue along this course or
to turn to his organization, which advo-
Gates sharply reduced Federal spending,
COAlJdl dOIC CuLS IdAdOlOAl, ICoIOIdIlOLl
OF the rights and powers of the States
and reduction in foreign commitments.
What he did not do was to spell out the
steps by which this massive reform would
be brought about.
Our guess is that the real strength
OF this third-party movement, If it has
strength, is rooted in diSaffection over
the school indignation question. Mr.. An
drews did not stress this point, but it lies
at the heart of his bid for reassertion of
States rights as against the spread OF
Federal authority. 1t has an emotional
impact which is not generated by disser-
tations on economics and theory of
government. And 1t is an issue which may
pay of in the form Of substantial num-
Der Of votes on election day. But we
doubt very much that this movement will
develop, as some of its sponsors hope, into
an enduring. conservative party. For its
essential philosophy would turn back the
political clock generation or more, and
we do not believe the people will go along
Mr.. Andrews may pin a socialistic label
on the policies Of the major parties II he
wishes, but we suspect that those policies
are here to stay.

High Stakes in the West

President Eisenhower's Western trip
is demonstrating that a transforming
tour, by whatever other name it may be
called, smells sweet indeed to the hard
pressed G. o. p House and Senate
candidates in that area.
Mr.. Eisenhower is visiting five States,
where four seats in the Senate and 81
IN the House are being bitterly contested.
Also at stake, of course, are 81 important
electoral votes.
This is the kind of political trip that
Mr. Eisenhower was not going to make.
But the call of the candidates is hard to
resist, especially when most If not all of
them are in political trouble. Nor is Mr..
Eisenhower the kind of campaigner who
can remain Indifferent for long to the
things that the Democrats have been
saying about his farm program and his
stand on power development and con-
servation of natural resources The
President is fighting man, politically as
well as by trade, and it is no surprise to
anyone to see him trekking out to the
areas where the farm, power and con-
servation issues are important, and where
ne can dish it out as we'll as take it.
But it is not the speeches the Presi-
dent has made and will make which
warm the hearts Of the Western Repub-
leans. 1t is, instead, that indef1nable
thing called personality, the magic touch
which pulls out the crowds, as in Mime
apolis and st. Paul, and peps them up for
the political work which needs to be done.
Whether this will pay off in election-day
victories remains to be seen. But the
stakes are high, and the President, no
matter what he may have said in the
past, is out there pitching

other places OF public assembly to pay

the regulations is needed. The l948 law
on which the existing discriminatory

changed. The wording Of that act is so
vague that It is subject to varying inter-
pretations-and experience with the law

Bad Location
Carrel r. Rhodes.

There are many contributing
factors that enter into the
proposed transfer Of our base
ball club.
One Of the main reasons for
the lack Of attendance at the
games is the location of the
park. The area in which the
park is situated is infested
with hoodlums and the poor
motorists who are obliged TO
park on the streets must pay
tribute II they expect to find
their cars at the end OF the
game.
Years ago ! used TO pay Is
cents for protection. but now
I understand the fee is 81.
Woe to the motorist who fails
to contribute to this racket.
An untold number Of cases are
Of record where tires have
been ripped and punctured
and the cars rified. 1t is too
bad that we don't have a park
with adequate. protected park
ing facilities.

LES MO1NE0, 1OWa.--f1OW
well is Adlai StevenSon's pro-
posal that the United States
take the lead in ending hydro
gen bomb and A-bomb tests
going over with the run-of-
the-mine voter--as an issue in
the presidential campaign?
The answer is that it isn't.
The people of the Midwest
would be delighted to have
these tests come to an end and
disarmament come into being.
But they are not anxious to
have the American people COM
NIT suicide-as they might If
nuclear weapons tests were
abandoned in this country
while Soviet Russia declines to
enter into an agreement for a
proper system of inspection of
all armament production, espe-
cially nuclear weapons.
Indeed, what the voters
wish to know is whether Ste
venson, If he became Presi-
dent, would enter into an
agreement with the Russian
Communist government to end
the nuclear weapon in both
countries If Stevenson says
he would follow such a course,
then the people want none Of
1t.
If he'd insist on an inspec-
ton program, then he would
be taking the same position
that President Eisenhower has
insisted on and that the
Russians have declined to
adopt.
What reason have they to
believe that Stevenson would
be any more successful with
the Communists than has
Eisenhower?
Issue Is: Who Is Qualified?
The issue, so called. really
becomes an issue, not between
the Republican and Demo-
cratic Parties, but between the
two presidential candidates.
Which is the better qualified
to deal with the Communists
and to serve as Commander in
Chief of the armed forces Of
the United States?
To the man in the street,
the Stevenson A-bomb test
proposal is a nebulous affair.
1t is not understood. 1t has
been driven home that Amer
ica's hope for defense against
the Communist enemy lies in
the A-bomb; that if 1t had not
been for this weapon and our
ability to produce it, and to
improve upon it, Russian Com
munist aggression, backed by
the Red Chinese. would have
moved long since.
The man in the street has
been told that Communist
Russia has never lived up to
an international agreement
when it was to its advantage

not to do so. He has been told,
too-and correctly so--that
the ultimate aim Of the Conn
munists is the communication
of the world. including the
United States.
Too many people remember
that the Communists pulled
the wool over the eyes of the
Roosevelt and Truman admin
istrations. Here was no ques-
ton of disloyalty on the part
of these Democratic admin
istrations and their leaders. 1t
was a failure to understand
the real aims Of the Russian
Communists.
Sought to Prove Peace Stand
The Stevenson A-bomb pro-
posal. along with Stevenson's
broad suggestion that if he
became President. the military
draft would be done away
with, was conceived for the
purpose of convincing the
voters that Stevenson and the
Democratic Party are as de-
voted to the cause of peace
as President Eisenhower and
the @. o. p,
Stevenson and his managers
well recognize the appeal of
the peace issue in this cam
paign. Stevenson has declared
it an outrage that the Repub-
licans and Eisenhower should
make capital Of the fact that
the fighting in Korea came to
an end after Eisenhower en-
tered the White House. and
that there has been no fighting
by American boys.
The fact stares them in the
face, however, that this has
been the exact course Of
events. But Stevenson and
other Democratic candidates
are seeking desperately for an
Offset of this peace appeal.
Stevenson and his cam
paigners insist that, if put in
power, they would do more to
assure peace. They have never
produced a bill of particulars
OR even a single particular,
except the proposals to do
away with the draft and stop
nuclear weapons tests. Both.
if carried out, could put this
country in an untenable posi-
ton. inviting attack.
In the end. the whole issue
boils down to the question:
Is there a greater chance OF
continuing peace under Eisen-
hover or under Stevenson?
The man in the street. as in
quiry reveals, would rather
take a chance with Eisenhower
than with Stevenson in this
deal. He has been tried, and
Stevenson has not.
1t is this peace issue, par
ticularly in this part Of the
country, which is keeping Eli
SenhoWer in the lead.
