Mayor Wilhelm Willinger, 45, is
concerned about another aspect of
Astor history-the bust of Astor
which stands on the spot once oc-
cupied by the house where Astor
was born in 1863.
The bust is made of plaster and
was erected in 1948 to replace the
bronze one which the Nazis used
in 1916 as scrap metal.
eve hope" says the mayor, "to
replace the plaster bust with an
other one of bronze as soon as we
have enough money"
Why does the village of Wall
dorf spell its name with two HLs"
while New York's Waldorf Astor-
ia uses only one?
Its very simple says Walter
Vorfelder, one of the owners of
the local hotel, "when Astor left
the village it had only one Il"
in its name"
And no one in Waldorf, not even
the mayor, can explain why the
extra IL" suddenly popped up.

construction and maintenance of
a free home for the poor. The
home is still in use today-as an
apartment house for low income
families.
In 1897 the Nazis took the house
over and turned it into a barracks
for members of the Bund Deuts-
cher Maedchen (BDM), a Nazi or
ganization for teen-age girls. BDM
girls were pledged to bear children
''for the Fuehrer," especially those
of SIS men and high Nazi officials.
The conversion of the Astor poor
house into a BDM barracks still
fills certain villagers with shame.
Karl Schleich, rs, who was ad-
ministrator of the building from
1921 until the Nazis took it over,
says that several years ago village
leaders wrote the Astor Founda-
ton in New York and asked for
funds to convert it into a modern
home for the aged.
"The foundation replied that
their donations were scheduled for
the next two years and therefore
couldn't schedule any new ones"
Schleich says. "It was the most
hopeful letter any one here has re-
'ceived from New York"

The Cast

Jean Cabin. in Rue de
Paris" plays a man who comes
home after two years in a
German prison camp to dis
cover that his wife has recently
died in childbirth. This is
something Of a shock to a man
who has been away for two
years. Cabin weathers it.
though. and the new French
film at the Dupont Theater
leaps to the present for an
examination of the problems
besetting a man rearing a
family.
These turn out to be much
the same in Paris as elsewhere.
The elder son Of the family is
a bike racer who turns pro and
learns how races are fixed for
profit. The daughter gives up
her grubby but respectable job
as a shoe clerk to become a.
model and soon gets around to
sampling big city sin.
The younger son is a prob
lem in a different way. He keeps
getting into trouble at school,
where his father insists he re-
main, not wishing to be ac-
cuSed of favoritism toward his
two legitimate offspring. 1t
takes a session in court to
Straighten everything out, but
finally the boy and his father
(who isn't his father start out
anew, with new bond of af-
fection between them.
Denys de la Petelliere, who
wrote and directed Rue de
Paris" from a novel by Rene
Lefevre. has made a movie that
is more interesting than it is
dramatically exciting. Some of
it is good slice-of life drama,
but it is sliced too thin, M. de
la Petelliere having neglected
to edit out all the dull passages
that fare inevitable in life but
unpalatable on the screen.
There is, of course, an excel
lent performance by M. Cabin
in Rue de Paris" 1t is a strong
Evening star., 1960-07-29

portrayal and a warmly human
one as Cabin gives dimension
to his man of good will and the
best intentions trying to solve
family problems and not always
succeeding. 1t is a thoroughly
effective portrait of a baffled
man trying to bridge the gap
between generations.
Roger Dumas, as the younger
son; Maril-Jose Nat, as the girl
who fees the shoe store to live,
and Claude BraSseur, the bicycle
racer, lend further credibility
to Rue de Paris" 1t is an
honest film to which they have
contributed, but unfortunately
only lukewarm dramatically.
