While conscious of the plays
moral implications, the Cana
dian Players PER- Gynt" is
more impressed by Ibsen's sar-
donically amused sense of mans
folly.
1t treats Peer as one of the
Isupremely absurd heroes of dra-
matte fiction, the egotistical,
lying. philandering, Boosting,
dreaming human bent upon
being himself at whatever cost
to others. At the same time, it
makes clear that this anarchist
rogue is as fascinating to his
moral betters as he is enchanted
with himself.
| The most exacting demand of
Peer Gynt," of course, is a
durable, delighted sinner type
| in the title role. The Canadian
Players present one in the per-
son of Bruno Gerussi, a John
Garfield type with a notably sun
nier disposition. (The late Mr..
Garfield, by the way, played the
role on Broadway shortly before
his death.)
The three hours and one-half
of unremitting SHINING and end
less Spouting of his delight with
himself make Peer one of the
dramas most exhauSting char
acters to both actor and au-
diences. Mr.. Gerussi is quite I'M
dismayed by Peers reputation.
Never a flourish finds him fall
tering although both he and the
play are better after the warm
up first act is out of the way.
With, let it be said, the excep-
ton of the famous moving final
scene Of the opening act in
which the hero talks his moth
er's way into Heaven.
Stratford's famous summer
company fills the other roles of
Ibsen's most wickedly witty play
with excellent performers.
| To the surprise of no one, one
of these is Miss Frances Hyland
la dainty, winsome lass who
doubles in. such diverse roles as
the haunting Solveig and the
wheedling seductress of the
desert, Anitra. Miss Hyland is
equally effective in both parts
proving that any effort to type
her will require more agility OF
bad judgment than most direc-
tors have.
1 Others who contribute i'm
portantly to Ibsen's lively car
ricature of the self-obsessed are
Deborah CasS as Peers mother
Aase; William HUT as the Button
Moulder who comes to claim
Peers Grant soul; George Nc
Gowan in the twin roles of the

and David Gardner as Aslak, the

Bridges at Toko-Ri Is Mighty Film
 Of Love, Heroism

That rare thing has happened - an action movie told in the warm flesh tones of everyday Americans faced with a tremen- dous duty. It is Paramount's stirring version of James A. Mich ener's great novel of the Korean war, "The Bridges At Toko-ri," playing tonight and tomorrow at The Theater.
 Filmed in color by Technicolor and starring William Holden, Grace Kelly, Fredric March and Mickey Rooney, the. film relates the heart-gripping tale of men at war and the women they leave behind. Told in the broad terms of the operations performed by the Naval flying arm it also focuses on the personal emotional problems that arise when men are confronted by the awful necessity to kill or be killed.
 This is effected by the detailed exposition of, first the Admiral, Fredric March whose awesome duty it is to send the brave young men out to what might possibly be their doom. One such flyer, in the person of William Holden, undergoes tense emotional problem which involves his devo- ton to his wife and his loyalty to his country Holden's wife, Grace Kelly, forcibly brings out in him his need for survival.
 However when the most dan gerous assignment of the cam paign, the bombing of the almost impregnable bridges at Toko-ri, falls on his shoulders he does not shirk his duty. It is this final climactic bombing mission that explodes the film into its soul stirring conclusion.
 The acting of the principals is superb and the almost fantastic aerial photograph is the best ever seen.

COP Pledges It Will Cut Taxes For Low And < Middle Income Families

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Repub- licans held out to the nations voters today a campaign pledge to cut taxes for low and middle income families and for small in- dependent businesses.
 The promise was contained in the completed draft of the COP platform expected to be approved by the party's convention later in the day.
 In saying they were for a tax cut, the Republicans never said how it should be accomplished. They did not get as specific as the Democratic pledge at their Chicago convention last week to raise the personal income tax ex- emption from $500 to $500.
 The proposed COP platform cautioned that government econ- omy no matter how desirable, should not come at the price of a weakened national defense.

Solicitor Says
Parking Meter
Ordinance Legal

London's Council President Will
liam j. Robson entered his resig-
nation at the Thursday night meet
ing of the group, and will be in his
last meeting with the council on
December 20. Council accepted the
resignation with regret.
Robson explained in his letter
that he will be moving outside the
city limits shortly after that time,
and will not be eligible to serve in
his present capacity in city affairs.
He expressed his gratitude to
council for their cooperation dur
ing his tenure, and said he would
gladly assist the group in any way
possible in the future.
In other action at the Thursday
night meeting, Council gave final
reading and adoption to the Ohio
Edison electric rate ordinance and
to the franchise ordinance for Ohio
Edison.
They also passed an ordinance to
vacate a portion of Swetland Av-
enue and another to narrow GER
tain portions of Swetland. The va
eating ordinance passed by AZ
vote after considerable discussion.
Only one member of council op-
posed the narrowing ordinance.
In a discussion of the present
parking meter ordinance, Solicitor
Maurice E. Beathard told council
that the ordinance is enforceable
and legal. The discussion came as
a result of many parking meter
violators failing to pay the tickets
placed on their cars. The discus
sion also brought in the possibility
Of towing in the violating cars and
issuing warrants for habitual vio-
latorS.
Solicitor Beathard in f o rm e d
council that water and sewer con-
struction projects are going as rap
idly as possible. He detailed tho
progress of the work, and explain
ed the plans for continuing.
