wild Strawberries" the
work Of Sweden's Ingmar

seen in years. 1t represented
a stunning balance between
theme-that Of a long, useful

treatment, the latter a blend
of dream, reverie and real
ism.
The Last Angry Man"
the story Of a good man in
vincible to the corruptions Of
contemporary society, found
a popularity with audiences
that perfectly matched the
enthusiasm with which crit

profited enormously by being
played by Paul Mum, the

Choosing a 10-hest list of
movies for 1859 is both an
easier chore and a more fiat
tering one than one might
we'll have anticipated.
Easier, it turns out, be-
cause the number and vari-
ETY. of quality pictures is
greater than appeared likely
at mid-point in the year:
flattering in its implication
that the chooser has an in
ternational taste in films.
So, in respect to the lat
ter, do Washington movie
goers who put a cluster Of
foreign films among their
top favorites of the year.
To get on to the actual
choices which add up to five
American and five foreign
pictures. the list includes:
l. The Nuns Story" re-
leased by Warner Bros, di-
rected by Fred Zinnemann
and adapted by Robert
Anderson from Kathryn
Hulme's original.
2. "On the Beach," re-
leased by United Artists, di-
rected by Stanley Kramer.
screenplay by John Paxon
based upon Nevil Shute's
novel.
3. The 400 Blows" pro-
duced, written and directed
by Francois Truffaut.
A Wilder Comedy
4. Some Like 1t Hot" re-
leased by United Artists,
written by Billy Wilder and
I. A. L. Diamond, directed
by Mr.. Wilder.
5. Room at the Top" re-
leased by Continental, di-
rected by Jack Clayton,
screenplay by Neil Paterson
adapted from the novel of
John Braine.
6. The Mouse That
Roared," released by Colum-
bia Pictures, directed by
Jack Arnold, screenplay by
Roger MacDougall and STAN
ley Mann, adapted from an
original by Leonard Wib-
berley.
7. Wild Strawberries" re-
leased by Janus, directed and
written by Ingmar Bergman.
8. Last Angry Man" re-
leased by Columbia Pictures.
directed by Fred Kohlmar,
written by Gerald Green. an
adaptation Of his original
novel.

9. Anatomy Of a Murder"

dell Mayes from the novel Of
Robert Traver.

the permissibilities of the
easier code, as many think 1t
did, it nevertheless made its
case with shattering dramatic
impact.
Not Only Courtesy
THE Cranes Are Flying"
Russia's first film in the cul-
tural exchange program
sponsored by the State De-
partment. earns its place for
sounder reasons than mere
courtesy. The Cannes prize
winner in 1858 is technical
ly a brilliant picture, in both
production details and per-
formance. Add to these the
Evening star., 1959-12-27

dramatic dimension Of its
Russian strangeness and 1t
is easily one of the years out
standing pictures shown in
Washington.
AS always, there were other
candidates for 10-best selec-
ton. Among these ere"North
by Northwest" " Mon Oncle"
from France. "Compulsion,"
orders to Kill" made in Eng
land. George Stevens The
Diary of Anne Frank" and
many others.
But one chooses against
these for all their merits and,
in choosing, settles back to
take the consequences.

is the pressing i'll among most
Hollywood feminine stars.
says Sandra Warner.
And Sandra, a 22-year-old
actresS-singer- dancer with a
sexy face and body, admits
she has contributed to the
malady.
The public doesn't realize
what a young girl has to put
up with in order to get
started In this business" she
laments.
She cited a case:
"A few years ago I was in
a picture called The Vaga-
bond King at Paramount.
The director liked me and
everything looked rosy. Then
got a call from wardrobe.
They gave me a new cos
tune and took away the old
one which had showed my
face and figure. The new
one was one of those flowing
medieval affairs with a
pointed Ounce cap and a veil
that completely covered my
face.
Lucky Disguise
Il argued with the ward
Eooe man: Nobody will be
able to see me-.
That's the whole idea
he said. Later he confded
that the star of the movie
had ordered the wardrobe
switch.
Fortunately for me, the
movie turned out to be a
horrible flop. I was happy
to be in disguise"

ter's work in rehearsal.
And John Houseman, artistic
chief of the Stratford, Conn,
Shakespeare Festival resigned
in a policy disagreement.
Interesting theatrical events
popped up far from Broad
way. In Southern Rho
desia, a Tennessee Williams
play was banned by a bisnop.
Playwright William Douglas
went to court in London to
prevent a producer closing
a flop. The Drunkard"
wound up its classic 26-year
run in Los Angeles. And
at Eugene, Greg, a drama Of
Americas Colonial era was
logged up in modern dress as
an aid to audience UNDER
standing.
Tragic Accidents
Over Jealous performing
landed some players on the
sick list. Genevieve broke
a leg during "Can-Can" at
Toronto. Raymond Allen
got a 6-inch hip wound
from a saber during an over
realistic duel at Monmouth,
Me, theater. Barbara
Hayes banged her leg so
energetically against a stage
prop in an of Broadway re-
vival that she ended up
hospitalized with traumatic
phlebitis. And Constance
Carpenter tore her ankle
readying another show.
The most tragic accidents
Of the year befell Pat Hingle,
star of 81. b." and Martyr
Green, British Gilbert and
Sullivan veteran.
Hingle suffered serious in
juries when he fell down q
six-story elevator shaft, now
he has recovered and is re-
suming bis acting career.
Green lost his left leg
when it was crushed by a
rising garage elevator. He is
still convalescing.
Romance FIOurishcd
Actor Ellis Rabb broke his
big toe during rehearsal, but
didn't let the mishap keep
him from opening in the
show, or delay his mar
riage two days later to Brit
ish actress Rosemary Harris.
Elsewhere in the realm Of
theatrical romance there
were both joy and'tears.
Julie Andrews got married,
so did Vivian Blaine. Claude
Rains wed concert pianist
Acl Jambor, and composer
Frank Loesser put ring on
the finger of star 10 Sullivan.
The marital ties wore thin,
however, for Sir Laurence
Oliver and Vivien Leigh, per-
formers both; and for star
Ethel Norman and Robert F.
Six, airlines executive. Both
couples admitted amicable
separations. Star Carol Law
rence's husband won an an
nulment with a complaint
that she put career ahead of
family.
The Final Curtain
The final curtain de-
scended during the year on
many notables. Actresses
Ethel Barrymore, Kay Ken

on new ways of doing business"
2. Said another: "The Journal
gives me ideas on how to save
money. Articles on taxes guide
me on what to do to keep my
taxes down."
3. Said a third: 1.-THE Journal
gives me a better understand
ing of what is going on in the
world. In conversation with
other men l find can interpret
business trends a little better
than they can"
These comments are typical.
The Journal is a wonderful aid
to salaried men making $500
to $3.50 a year. 1t is valuable
to owners of small business con-
Germs. 1t can be of priceless

dlyldual independence and the placing Of
Government in an unattractve or ridicu-
lous lights
And the outlook for the future is not au-
spicious. There are too many in Congress
who want to expand Government much
further, apparently without limit. They are
looking at human existence through the
wrong end Of the telescope, for Government
Is not and cannot be the generator Of
wealth, as our own history abundantly
proves. On the contrary, every expansion of
Government, paid for through higher taxes
or more initiation is a powerful depressant
on the true sources of wealth. Existing
taxes are already far too high for sound
economic growth
Q put II another way, just suppose that
We had sound money and confidence that
the Government was going to keep it sound !;
that we had 4 Government constantly cut
ting spending. gradually payifg off the
debt and reducing taxes. The effect would
be electric; the economic goals proclaimed
by the statistics would seem bidding by
comparison to what free people would ac-
compllsh. This is the lesson of our history.
and II seems incredible that so many peo-
pie can manage to misread it,
we all know, or ought to- that this Gov
eminent was founded in reaction to excess
SEES Of government. It was meant to be linn
tied, Tor the very good reason that the peo-
Pie who founded it understood that in the
ireest possible play Of individual initiative
was not only the best guard against tyran-
ny but also the surest route to material
abundance And so long as the Government
remained limited it was not the target of
the widespread disrcspect Of the people.
Now in these reflections on Apri] Is il is
certainly not our purpose to condone those
VINO cheat on their taxes. What we are saw
ing IS that it is an inevitable reaction to OK
orbltant taxation - a tax revolt in fact -
and part of the general maladv of Bio
Government
AFTER all, Government can hardly expect
ANYTHING but disrespect when it permits OK
cesslve taxation and initiation TO cheat the
people of their present livelihood and fu-
ture hopes

Editor Of Herald.

Editor of Herald:
After having lived for more than
three score and ten year, l marvel
at the progress made by science
during those years. Seventy years
is but a small space of time COM
pared with the six thousand or more
years since recorded history began.
1t is asserted by those who should
know what they are talking about,
that man through science and dis
covery has made more progress
during the past century than was
made in all the years prior to the
beginning Of the century in which
we now live. l recall the first cleo
trio lights, radio, airplane, auto and
many more Of the marvels we have
today. Those whose life span has
been as long as my own. remember
these things as well as l do, but
how many living today can fully
appreciate what the near future
has in store for US? While many
things that are common place to-
day fill US with wonder. how many
are aware of the fact that we who
live today are facing fabulous,
almost inconceivable future? Day
after day we read in our news
papers and magazines and learn
rom our television screens Of
amazing scientific advances that
are rapidly leading us to an era Of
wonders unparalleled in the world
history.
We are continually hearing Of the
great strides being made through
science and there are other mar
wells in untold numbers which have
not yet been disclosed. being tested
and developed by atomic electronic
and other scientist in the research

tons who spend billions Of dollars
each year to develop ideas in the
minds Of scientific research work
ers. Great changes lie but a short
way ahead of discharges that will
make all Of our lives broader. hap
pier, longer, more comfortable and
secure. Some Of them are already
a reality, having sprung from the
strong basic forces which are lead
ing our economy ever forward and
upward. One Of these forces lies
in our country's tremendous growth
IN our population AT the end Of
the Civil War our total population
was thirty million and Just during
the past dozen years. our popula-
ton has increased a like amount
