ture, This Earth Is Mine"
On the surface, this one is q
family saga. 1t deals with the
degeneration of one of those
old grape-and-wine families
of southern California. Its
head is Cramps, a fiercely
proud old so-and-so who lives
by one of those old aristo-
cratic-agrarian codes which
Salves a mans conscience
while it cripples his pocket
book.
Cramps children and
grandch hildr en-, waiting
around to inherit what's left
Of the place, have clearly
failed to inherit the old mans
moral standards. What they
want is money which they
can get by selling the fam
ily's grapes TO some illegal
liquor-making racketeers.
Maybe They Tried
Mr.. Robinson, Director
Henry King and a cast in
cluding such performers as
Claude Rains, Dorothy Nc
Guire, Jean Simmons and
Rock Hudson, were able to
give the film every element
it needed but one. This was
the look of complete hon.

stubbornly looked so much
more like a movie anxious to
make money than it ever
looked like life.
No one to be sure is, or
should be, worried that the
Nations film critics will be
unable to find 10 films for
their best lists. When it is
time for these, traditionally
the last Sunday in December,
they will appear as always.
In the case of the WASH
ington critics, however, it is
likely that the percentage Of
foreign films on the roster
will be higher than it has
been in many a recent year.

Six damsels and a moppet

Friends of the couple say
that Hill is the first of five

few years back she had a bit

real break came while on tour
in the national company of
"The Music Man"
Varied Background
There she was discovered
for Take Me Along" a mu-
sical in which she delineates
puppy love with winning
tenderness.
Warren Beatty, brother of
Film Star Shirley MacLaine,
is making his debut in "a
Loss of Roses" after a career
that has. swung from sand
hog work in tunnel construc-
ton. to piano playing at night
clubs, to being an Office sec
retary.
The musical "Fiorello!" is
the launching pad for the
male arrival with the biggest
role, Tom Bosley. The 81
year-old Chicagoan stunned
the critics with his title por-
trayal in the show that is a
rousing salute to Gotham's
most famous Mayor, Fiorello
H. La Guardia.
Tom won stardom the hard
way, by years of work in
stock and off Broadway shoe
string ventures.
A Texas Boy
The other new lad is Rob-
ert Carraway, featured in
"The Golden Fleeing" The
slim youth from Beaumont,
Tex, looks his role, a naval
ensign, but performs with
veteran aplomb in the farce,
that toughest of all comedy
forms.
Carraway almost got his
initial workout last year, but
missed when "a Swim in the
Sea" took an out-of- town
dive.
Besides these featured
freshmen, a number of ar
dent apprentices are doing
bits and walkons elsewhere
on the White Way. Their big
chance may come later. In
the meantime, the theater
needn't worry about the sup

PantOmime's Touching
Patty has a focal role in
that drama of a teacher who
first brought understanding
to the deaf mute-blind child
who grew up to be one of the
worlds most famous women,
Helen Keller.
A New York native, Patty
has done a lot of work in
movies and television. While

on a quiz show which she

In "The Miracle Worker"
Patty hasn't much to remem-
