the New York Yankees lose the
American League pennant race,
1t is based on the further and
even less likely assumption that

1t is a cockeyed reworking OF

funnier only a couple OF miles

and lifelessness.
What we wanted, Of course,
lis contrast to the gentle green
vitality Of Virginia." Mr.. Ste
vens explains. He could not
have got it more eloquently. The
intent of the first Texas scene is
to visualize the desolation that
drives into the soul of Elizabeth
Taylor, his Virginia bride. as she
catches her first glimpse Of Rock
Hudson's $50. 000-acre ranch.
In its present form. Giant" is
an enormous maze of bits and
pieces. Yet whatever bit or
piece Mr.. Stevens happens to
want is instantly available. The
next one brings onto the screen
young James Dean in q small
slice of wordless acting which is
a poignant reminder Of the ira
gedy of his death; just after the
Aim was shot.
Mercedes McCambridge, who
plays Deans mother and the
woman who runs the Charles
Addams-type ranch house on
Reata, adds another bit. 1t is
like watching an acting problem
being worked out in this frag-
mented form. Nevertheless, it
conveys the feel of a Stevens
picture. his first since Shane. ~
To watch a Stevens picture in
the cutting stage, the more espe-
cially those parts of it which one
saw in the original set phase,
is to understand what is meant
by painting with light"
The director of Giant" began
as a cameraman and the pictures
with which he writes fill a word
man with a sharp sense of in
adequacy.
The trick horse a black stall
lion who almost stole the show
from the pictures glamorous
cast and who plays War Winds
in Giant" makes his appear
ance.
The sight of him reminded Mr..
Stevens of an anecdote about
the horse who served as War
Winds double. a handsome
beast. but one which attracted no
attention from the horse loving
last spring.
THE double" Mr.. Stevens ex-
planned, was one of the sad
things about the picture. In
Texas. where we needed a patch
Of green. we used a spray to color
it. One night this poor animal
got loose. ate some of the artf-
tinted grass and died the
next day. 1t was a sad thing,
but how much worse it would
have been if 1t had been the
much more valuable animal for
which he doubled
The big animal shot in Giant
does not involve horses. It is
one which shows a huge herd
of cattle advancing on a water
hole, soundlessly, but only in the
films present state.
This. the director explained,
will be the picture on which the
films title and credits will be
when Giant" is
ready for release.
Looking toward this day, Mr..
Stevens says: Some day it will
all come together by some kind
Of magic that I never quite
the's too modestl /
with Dimitri Tiomkin's music. /
I'm hoping We have something. y"
The indications are that he
most surely will, and that Vir-I
ginians will too. the latter an
to point out that ii
their State is not as big as Texas.

tiful.

will this phase be finished? We
put the question to Mr.. Stevens
at a luncheon which he was not

July" he said.
Mr.. Stevens. the perfect host

Utility Complaint
Not Token Lightly
By JACK JONAS

The resident manager of an
apartment house in the 2100
block of H street NV. says she
was pleased to get such
prompt service in a public
utilities case, but little dis
turbed at the form it took.
Il noticed the globe was
broken off the street lamp in
front of the building" she
said. 1T was Saturday, and l
knew PEPCO was closed, so I
called No. 3 precinct, and told
them I'd like to have the
globe replaced.
1t wasn't long before a
PEPCO truck drove up. I was
watching from the second
floor front.
"A crew got out, pulled up
the post. filled in the hole,
loaded the post on their
truck, and drove away"
On Monday, she called the
precinct again.
Il knew I'd get service with
a smile" she told the police,
but l didn't think the grin
would be so broad"
The police told her to call
PEPCO. She did. PEPCO said
they would put a new pole in.
The old one was broken any
way, they said.

Serious Crimes
Drop in District
LAOS March TotuI
Smallest Since lo4o

The smallest monthly total Of
serious crimes in the District
since l949 has been reported fol-
last month by Police Chief Rob-
ert V. Murray.
The laos such offenses re.
corded for March compare with
l.542 for February, and 1925
for March of 1855. The figure.
represent a 1873 per cent drop in
major crime this March under
figures for March, 1855, miti-
gated somewhat by a change in
the reporting procedure.
Chief Murray was able to hand
this report, which he said would
be encouraging, even If we lust

With respect to the serious

that part Of the drop since last
