past. Its lure is still powerful,
this is proved by the fact that
it is one of our fastest growing
cities.
The story of Natchez goes
far beyond the halycon days
preceding the was between the
States. Indian, French, Spanish,
American, and Confederate
America -- each has striven
for possession of its fertile &C
res, and each has left an i'm
print on the land. From the
French and Spanish buildings,
to the cotton planters great
mansions, who reached their
peak of prosperity just before
The War, you may trace the
growth of a civilization from
the wilderness.
However, it equally blends
priceless tradition with energy
and achievement. They cherish
the glories of yester year, but
they do not live in the past.
Theirs is truly an ideal, civic,
progressive city. The Natchez
spirit is a definite yet intang-
IDLE something highly essential
to preserving MiSsiSsippi's che
rrished way of life, wrile fully

The Old South Lives Again -
No one can describe the
Natchez Pilgrimage and its
many features, in one brief in
stallment. Frankly, we don't
intend to try. If you haven't
been down for a breath of Old
Southern atmosphere, and for
a glimpse of this fabulous cou-
ntry, in the early spring, you
have missed one of the most
wonderful experiences of your
life,
The annual Pilgrimage is
even far better than advertised,
drawing huge throngs of visi-
tors and tourists from far and
near. When we attended the
Pilgrimage it was several years
ago, q am sure it is finer and
bigger than ever.
The Mansions and ancient
streets of Natchez have charm
ed an endless host of hiStory's
famous people. Presidents, mil
itary heroS, beautiful ladies, pir
ateS, aristocratS, savages, pio-
neers, adventures, and lusty
river men have so turned here
in days of long ago. What ever
each one came seeking they
no doubt, found, in Natchez.
The famous antebellum show
places still stand in all their
grandeur, indomitable against
time and the elements. The
Welcome latch string is still
out at the; Elms, Longwood,
Cherokee, MelroSe, Twin Oaks
Linden, Elmscourt, Arlington
Stanton Hall, and RoSalie A
friendly welcome also awaits
you at The Burns, Green Lea
vas, Hilly Hedge, Richmond
and at historic haunted Con-
nelly's Tavern. There are more
show places on the tour and it
takes about three days to see
them all.
We never go to NatcheZ,
with out thinking of earlier
way farers who have strayed
into this enchanted land where
time seems to stand still and
wear lightly. In minds eye,
we see Mark Twain, General
Grant, Andy Jackson and his
beloved Rachel, Aaron Burr,
jimmy Lind, Henry Clay, jeff
erson Davis, and many others
of history's notables.
Natchez means much more
than a visit to the old man

would be tauter, however, if it
were tighter. There may have
been no choreography for Di-
rector Odets to discard, but he
clearly has been reluctant to
place a firm blue pencil on any
of Writer OdetS' words. Every
time the judge up there on the
bench admonished an attor-
ney to Get on with it," I found
myself pleading silently, "Yes,
Mr., Odets. get on with it,"
Miss Hayworth plays the
numbed mate of a boorish de-
tective in a marriage from
which love has long since de-
parted. She becomes involved
with a young widower and
shortly finds herself a code
fendant. with him, on trial for
the murder Of her husband.
The shooting is accidental,
as Mr.. Odets lets you plainly
see. He builds his suspense not
on "whodunit" but on a ter
rifying web Of guilt-edged cir
cumstantial evidence.
He also builds it by appar-
emily forgetting a clue here and
there. The dialogue, for in
stance. clearly establishes that
the victim Of the shooting was
the only one of the three in
volved who had touched the
fatal gun. Then the prosecu-
tion gets into court and alleges
that Miss Hayworth's lover
waited with gun in nand while
she lured her husband down.
stairs to his doom and nobody
mentions f1ngerprints.
In spite Of such loose ends,
the tension mounts in The
Story on Page One" as the
discriminating evidence piles up.
The prosecutor gets into the
record Miss Hayyorth's sar-
donic observation when her
cross husband talks about a

policy-@sWhy don't you make
1t so or 80 thousand?" Then it
purports to prove how she was
planning to spend the money.
Her codefendant is in no
better shape. He has made a
1,000-mile round trip to see
Miss Hayworth on the night
OF the shooting, after carefully
preparing an alibi that will
prove him to have been in Sac
ramento at the time.
How the trial progresses and
what fate the jury hands down
are matters no honorable critic
would discuss, as you we'll.
know. Anyhow, Mr.. Odets, de-
spite any exceptions noted
here. spins his yarn entertain
ingly.
He has cast it well, too. Miss
Hayworth does not look as
harshly-used as she did out
there in the sun in Cordura,
but she has wrapped herself in
the drabness of a wearied
housewife on trial for murder.
She is deglamorized and fully
credible. Gig Young and An
