THE PASSING SHOW
Does Hitch Really Have
A Case Against Censors?

winners have too low a moral
standard for most people"
ITO attract the public, the
movies show the people a
false type of living. I won't
go any more because most of
it is hogwash."
Lost Customs
That fellow who won't go
to the movies any more is the
one Hollywood should be
worrying about. Another is
the man who replied to Mr..
Boyle's query: II am against
any kind of censorship. Peo-
pie should be allowed to make
their own choices. But I
don't know whether I agree
or disagree because 1 haven't
been to a movie in two years"
This same feeling about
censorship cropped up in the
replies of many who disa-
greed. Abuse of freedom, a
lot of them felt, was still bet
ter than censorship.
This, of course, is a sound
position. Also sound is the
relaxation of the movie code
to permit a more realistic ap-
proach to some valid dra-
matte themes and to permit
films to resemble life now
and then.
The relaxation, however, is
not a license to get away with
all the traffic will bear. 1t is
safe only so long as it is being
used to advantage by movie
makers of good taste. Come
to think of it, Mr.. Hitchcock
has demonstrated himself to
be a man of good taste. 1t
would be a pleasure to see
him revive it.

NEW YORK.-Betty Com

remarkable w-businesS
team. Outwardly dissimilar
Betty is beautiful and
Adolph is not-they possess
in common a high order OF
intelligence, wit and indus
try. They have worked to-
gether in harmony, and with
fruitful results, since 1889.
Their last stage hit, Bells
Are Ringing" has been
turned into a hit motion pic
ture, starring Dean Martin
and Judy Holiday. Comden
and Green wrote the stage
book, the screen play and the
lyrics. julie Styne composed
the music, including a cou-
pie of new songs for the
movie.
You Get Wrapped Up
Its just as hard to write
for the screen as for the
stage, and just as much fun"
said Adolph the other day.
But in some ways the the
ater is more satisfying. The
play becomes your whole
life. You get so wrapped up
in it out of town that if
anyone told you in New
Haven a bomb had hit New
York, your reaction would
be, I hope it doesn't inter-
fere with opening night
But I'm very pleased with
Bells Are Ringing on the
screen. Dean Martin is excel

day will be a serious conten-
der for an Academy award.

performance, one that's much
bigger than the show"

Gilbert and Sullivan fan
ciers, who have had some
thing of the best Of it in
Washington's entertainment
picture this summer, will get
a chance to see even more of
the masters handiwork be-
ginning this week.
The Lyric Theater Co., Inc,
will present a double Gilbert
and Sullivan bill Thursday,
Saturday, and August 7 and
II at the Washington Hebrew
Congregation. The offerings
are Trial by jury" and that
Spooky spool, "Ruddigore,"
the latter staged in the COM
plete original version.
This lively local company,
as a matter of history, takes
quite a shine to Gilbert and
Sullivan itself. Its first pro-
duction, in fact, staged in
founder Peter Kline's garage
just IL years ago, was Sir
Arthur Sullivan's musical
"Cox and Box" The group
now has almost 200 members,
chiefly in their late teens,
but with an age range SPAN
ming from one 10-year-old
protege to a couple of 40
pluseS.
Trial by Jury" which
treats the English court sys-
tenn with a large amount of
irreverence, features Tom
Jones and Marian Scodari.
These two are veterans of
our local Montgomery Light
Opera Association. Others in
volved are Donald Boyer,
William Struhs and Kirk
wood White.
"Ruddigore," which gives
the what-for to starchy 10th
Century English melodrama,
leads off with Carroll Nattoon
and Omar Pancoat. Mr..
Kline is also featured here
together with Carolyn Smith,
Harold ISen, Cliff Donnelly,
Polly Dawson, Claude Duvall
and Donna Cox. And while
we're about it, Linda Smithey
is musical director for the
double bill. Curtain time. all
four nights, is 8 pm.
CONTINUING - Mean
while, the Mclean Commu-
nifty Theater is in its second
weeks production of "Auntie
Name" The comedy, under
the direction of Doris Adler,
will be presented at $50 pm.
Friday and Saturday at Nc
Lean High School.
Jeanne Vanderhoef is fea-
tured as the most un-
spinsterlike spinster Name,
and Vera Charles is her
bosom friend, Carmen Vey.
Other cast members include
Jon tmore, Gertrude
O'Connor, Jim Howard, Doris

queried, specifically 44.6 per
cent, agreed. The per cent

per cent confessed they didn't

Sex and horror pictures
were mentioned frequently as
offenders. A frequently re-

Alfred Hitchcock was COM
planning on this page just a
week ago that he is finding
censors a problem. 1t is not
easy, he said, to convince
censors that young people to-
day are much more sophisti-
Gated than they used to be.
"You can't put scenes on
the screen today where lovers
just peck at each other" the
director told Sheilah Graham.
young people would laugh"
Mr.. Hitchcock may have a
point. However, he had bet
ter not rest his case on
PSYCHE" which arrived in
town at midweek. This is an
entertaining thriller, good,
suspenseful Hitchcock. But
no major moviemaker ever
employed sex and shock more
blatantly for the sake of sex
and shock alone.
A COZy Scene
Psyche" opens on a cozy
tableau in a modest hotel
room. Janet Leigh and John
Gavin, half-dresSed, are
sprawled across the bed, both
clearly happy to be where
they are. 1t is obvious that
if Hitchcock had taken his
camera in there 5 or 10 min
uteS earlier, he would be
arrested for showing the film.
1t soon develops in the
dialogue that the two are
not married and that, fur
thermore, the young man
can't afford to marry the
girl because of his stiff ali
mony payments.
Mr.. Hitchcock goes on and
ultimately gets to murder.
Miss Leigh is set upon in the
shower and stabbed to death
in a brutally graphic scene.
In addition to being brutal,
the killing is pictured in a
frenzied montage that seems
to be, even if it really isn't,
a nervous jigSaw puzzle of a
girl wearing no more than
girls usually wear in the
shower.
He's Surprised
In spite of this and a
couple of other moments, Mr..
Hitchcock has expresse d
some surprise at the B rating
given PSYCHE" by the Le-
gion Of Decency. 1t probably
does not Soothe him to know
that he at least is faring
better than Brigitte Bardot,
who has one movie on the
legion's condemned list twice

and its other title, Mile.
Striptease."
Without voicing any view,
pro or con, on the Legion of
Decency, it still can be sug-
gested that Psyche" would
be no less dramatic if it had
been made to conform with
the legion's standards. That
explicit description of Miss
Leigh's over-zealous romance
does not add one bit to the
suspense. Neither does the
all-encompassing if swift ex-
animation of the girl in the
shower bath.
There Are Others
Mr.. Hitchcock, of course, is
not alone among movie
makers going to such ex-
tremes to win customers. He
is just the one whose sample
is nearest and most recent.
Since the winning of GUS
toners is the aim when pro-
ducers and directors resort to
the sex-shock treatment, it
is high time they all met Jack

PARIS.-Ever hear of an
actress who hates her face?
Juliette Greco does. LoatheS
it, she claims.
There's really nothing so
special about the face-either
good or bad. Large, limpid
brown eyes. A full but not
diversified mouth. A modest
chin. And a timid, rOundish
nose that seems to be afraid
to push too far away from its
anchor.
It's all framed by the
Greco trademark-a generous
growth of straight, shoulder
length dark brown hair and
bangs that drop almost to the
eyebrows.
At best, it's essentially a
sad face, a mirror of its past.
At work, it flashes a gen.
timely warm smile or wrath
that would send a seaman to
shelter.

mirror" Miss Greco insists.

Back to Left Bank

When THE Big Gamble" is
finished, Miss Greco knows
only that she is going to full
fill a singing engagement in
the little Left Bank music
hall where she got her first
taste of fame.
That was shortly after the
war. During the German oc-
cuptaion of Paris, her par
entS were deported to a Ger
man labor camp. She and
her sister were arrested by
the GeStapo but later re-
leased. Life was an hour by
hour struggle to stay alive.
When I say l stole" she
says, people are shocked.
How do they think we sur
vived?"
She broke into a closed
Paris night club one night to
have a place to sleep soon
after the liberation of Paris.
Later she was able to come
through the front door, as q
singer.
She sang in a black sweat
er c"black doesn't show

no money for stockings'D and
with her long black hair in
tangled disarray Cwhen

Miss Greco confesses she
would like to have a little
brother or sister for her g.
year-old daughter Laurence
Marie. The daughter was
born of a marriage to Phil
ippe Lemarie, her leading
man in a French movie. They
we're married in 1852 and di-
yorced in 1856.

she has no one in mind for a

HookeTs testimony in the trial
revealed that after demonstrating
with the men, he allowed them to
enter the basement.
Shortly afterwards he entered
the basement, lined the men ur
with a high powered Japanese
rifle-shot Williams and Leussler

waited until police surrounded the
house and ordered him out. Bur

At the Fourth Av. address he

was that he tried to get the gas
firm men to wait until Mrs. Grigs-
by came home because she had
receipts to show the bill had been
paid
Hooker said he didn't mean to
shoot the men. He said in the
excitement he squeezed the trigger
too hard and it went off.
County attorney George M.
Scott called the shooting Of VIII

premeditated killing you've ever
seen"
Although Hooker pied guilty 1t
was evident that his counsePs
chief aim was to save him from
first degree murder verdict
which carried a mandatory sent

He told the jury Hooker was
highly agitated and there was no
evidence that he had planned the
shooting for any length Of time.
Lohmann said Hooker's frame of
mind developed in a few minutes"
it was not planned, or deliberated"
Lohmann sensing the jury's final
verdict urged the eight women
and four men to bring in a YER
dict of second degree murder
which would have resulted In a
lighter sentence for Hooker.
Hooker came to Minnesota from
Virginia in 1949.
