unique corrective effect not offered by
eyeglasses. The primary advantage of
the contact lens is its safety. Almost i'm
possible to dislodge and virtually un-
breakable, contact lenses are chosen by
leading athletes. People who engage in
active, outdoor pursuits find contact
lenses as ideal as do football and basket
ball players. Finally, contact lenses do
not "fog up" and also give wider field

YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE EX.
ANIMATION FOR CONTACT LENSES:
A popular rnisconception is that the con-
tact lens examination is unpleasant.
This is completely unfounded Sterling
Optical's specialists now use equipment
to measure the curvature of your eye
without ever making physical contact
with the eye itself. 1t is essential that
you be thoroughly examined-and even
If you bring your own doctors prescrip-

YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE
ADJUSTMENT TO CONTACT LENSES:
Sterling Optical has found that the vast
majority of people who want to wear con-
tact lenses can adjust satisfactorily. The

Just as when you first wore eyeglasses
and were conscious of wearing them, so,
too, you will be conscious of your contact
lenses for while. Sterling Optical's care
ful and patient fitting guides you
through this period of adjustment-an
you are kept under supervision until you
enjoy complete comfort and are enjoying
your contact lenses every waking hour
OF your day. Children, as matter of fact,
will usually adjust far more swiftly than
adults-because children seldom have to
overcome their own squeamishness.
YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE
COST OF CONTACT LENSES: You can
pay great deal for contact lenses. Ster-

is totally unnecessary. AS one of the pio-

The public is responding enthusiastic
ally to Sterling opticals contact lens
policy. In fact, contact lens volume for
1860 is more than triple that of 1859
ten times that Of 1855. The main point
is that this increase is based strictly on
our conviction that the most important
thing we can offer the contact lens
prospects, simply complete and ade-
quate information on developments, fit
ting, adjustment and pricing. There
is a positive trend toward contact lenses
If you've ever thought about wearing
them, here are most of the facts you
must know. The final decision is yours
to make.
YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS: The contact lens has
come of age in the last to IS years. The
lens now recommended by Sterling OPP
tical is tissue thin, .optically ground
plastic that requires no fluid. It is only
one-third of an inch in diameter and so
light that it actually FLOATS" on the eye.
Recent improvements have been so dra-
matte that Sterling Optical finds it ex-
.tremely easy to fit those persons who
have had experiences with earlier, bulkier
corneal lenses.
YOU SHOULD KNOW WHY YOU WANT
TO WEAR CONTACT LENSES: The
most obvious reason for wearing contact
lenses is that they improve your appear
ance to the extent where eyeglasses are
old-fashioned. Both men and women can
appreciate this cosmetic effect-arid
many sensitive parents are aware of the
extra confidence contact lenses give to
children. But there are many other rea-
sons equally important: The contact lens
offers as much visual acuity as eye

Drama Critic Of The Star
What with political pun
ditry destined to taper OF,
the time may be ripe for a
return to the interpretive re-
port on the issue of sex in
movies.
The subject has by no
means been dormant during
the country's concern for
matters of greater immedi-
acy. It merely became sub
merged occasionally. Fewer
normally rational humans
found themselves with the
time or the energy to demand
of reviewers why they do not
clean up the screen.
The question will come up
again. however. And so will
the reviewers answer that it
is not his function to clean
up the screen. He can, anj
does, merely point out the
moral smudges on it, adding
that his duties are those of
neither censor nor janitor.
Critics Petulant
This is not said defen-
sively. In truth the reviewer
is more petulant about it
than anyone else; certainly
more so than the critics of

Moreover. even If he is not

reviewer grows steadily more
Indigenous with personal
boredom with the merely ex-
ploitative sex pictures. On a
loftier moral plane, too, he is
more and more explicit to
make clear to readers the
exact theme and treatment

producers with taste are pre-
pared to end up as angry
with their one-time general
customers as the latter pro-
fess to be with Hollywood.
The producers. Of course,
are not prepared to go so
far as to conclude that the
only audience left is that for
sensational films. Their tenn
peratureS are rising, how
ever.
UnSqueamish Praise
To revert to the reviewer
attitude toward films with a
strong sex element. they are
not at all squeamish about
expressing enthusiasm for
such of these as Hiroshima,
Mon Amour" This French
film is almost repugnantly
candid in certain physical
love aspects, but it is using
these to point a contrast be-
tween mere amour-involv-
ing an actress and an archi-
tect-and the possibilities of
mans love for mankind.
In praising such a film as
this French production. the
reviewer is under no illusion
as to which part of the mes
sage will prove the more al
Turing to potential customers.
He can hope, however, that
the vital thing the film has
to say will not be lost upon
even those who are impelled
to see it for its basic sensa-
tional sequences.

Millie Alberg was respon-
sible for bringing Maurice
Evans to television in 1853 in
Hamlet" the first two-hour
special on television. She
wrote the adaptation; talked
NBC into selling the time to
Hallmark; and convinced
Evans to do the show.
When she first came to
New York from her native
Montreal. Canada, she had
intended to be a playwright.
However, as she lowered, a
newcomer. around the ring of
the theater. she discovered
that at least for her, the job
of the producer was a great
deal more fun and more in
teresting.
A Real Winner
Mrs. Alberg, first presented
Little Moon" as a drama
on television in March 1858.
1t was the first original script
written for the Hall of Fame
series and it won II awards,
including four Emmys and
four Sylvanias. Julie Harris,
who also starred in the tele-
vision version, was honored
in the category of best per-
formance by an actress" and
the play was cited as "best
drama on television," and
"best show of the year"
Although the heart Of the
story is the same and some
scenes remain intact, Costi-
sgan has completely rewritten
the play for the theater.
"You can't transplant a
television drama to the
STAGE" said Mrs. Alberg. I'm
the theater, you develop your
characters more fully; if you
have a great scene, you don't
have to chop it. You can build
more slowly and subtly to the
climax. The television show
was rs playing minutes. The
stage show runs more than
two hours"
Mrs. Alberg said she chose
Little Moon" for her first
Broadway show rather than
look for a property that had
never been done anywhere
because "it's such a beautiful
play, it deserves a fuller
treatment than we could give
1t on television. And as any
producer will tell you, a Won
derful property is a treasure
hard to find"
She needed $l25,000 to
bring Little Moon of Alban"
to Broadway, and she got it,
including a substantial con-
tribution from Joyce C. Hall.
