into a large economy size movie
in color is to long for the
miserable smallness OF ones
own life left lying outside in
F street.
Producer of this mad parable
is Universal studio which has
lavished upon it money and
star power, both in the con-
viction that it is a sequel to
what happened in the Garden
of Eden.
This, of course, is diSputable.
Three generations of a
patriarchal grape-grower are
REPRESENTED in the film by such
r|ayerS as Jean Simmons, Rock
Hudson, Dorothy MCGUIRE and
Claude Rains among others.
The family's lust to own the
whole Napa valley is matched
by each members apparent
determination to dominate the
others. They covet everything
in sight, beginning with grand
father (Rains) who started the
idea with some mystical i'm
pulse to make Sacramental
wine, of all things.
BY the third generation, the
focal one of the story, inbreed-
ing, illegitimacy. and other
wantonesSeS have brought ret
ribution in the form of the
18th, or Prohibition amend
ment. At the vineyards produc-
ton peak, there are no legiti-
mate buyers and the RambeauS
and FaironS are left with a
paradise that has turned into
hell.
Most agonized of the latter's
jewellers are the ones played by
Miss Simmons and Hudson.
She, in flight from a Sordid
love affair in Europe, reaches
California to be met with the
proffer of a matching expert
ence by Cousin Rock. Oh, may
be he would like to make a
more honorable offer but how,
with Aunt Martha arranging to
marry Miss Simmons off to a
cold. austere type who wanted
to be a priest?
This is not the only respect
in which HudSon's character
behaves like a man born out
of wedlock. When he is not
trying to lure Miss Simmons
down the vineyard path or cor
nering her in the winery, he is
bent upon making a deal with
Chicago'S bootleggers for the
grape crop.
Cramps, looking up from his
sacramento wine kick, begins
at this point to think he had
better do something about the
family and leave the grapes to
themselves for a while. What
he does is going to remain his

and the Palaces secret so far
as this corner is concerned.
Henry King who has had a
lot of experience directing &C
tors through the seven deadly
sins is completely unabashed
by the extravaganza of this
script by Casey Robinson. He
treats this one with just the
right blend of the DeMille and
DionySus touches.
This obviates any demand for
Subtlety on the part of his per-
formers, all of whom behave
with an Old Testament fervor.
The effect of this can be
pretty funny at times and, one
feels, not always unwittingly.
The MeSSrS. Robinson and
King simply have to be kidding

ranks 9th; in per cent of teachers
paid $4,000 or more annually, the
state ranks 47th.
With more highly qualified, pro-
fessional personnel than most other
states, we pay our teachers lower
maximums," Mrs. Edwards explained.
She pointed out that the lower
standards of other states tend to pull
their average down, while in North
Carolina the large number of teachers
who have reached the scheduled
maximum tends to pull the average
up.
Only 2.3%c of the $4,000 teachers
in North Carolina earn $4,000 or
more. This contrasts with the national
average of 4S.1fc. Maryland, Della
ware, Louisiana, and Florida rank
above the national average. Only

below North Carolina.
