presidency, gave his support to
the constitutional amendment
proposed by Sen. Sam. J. Ervin

TV Review
’Visitor’ (Jailed
Magical, Lyrical
By RICK DU BROW
HOLLYWOOD (UPD — I’m
going to tout you on to a
television show in advance
today. It is called ‘‘The
Thanksgiving Visitor,” and it
will be seen Thanksgiving Day
on ABC-TV. It is a sequel to the
same network’s “A Christmas
Memory,” which was a boyhood
reminiscence by Truman Ca
pote, and it is just as magical
and lyrical.
Once again, Capote will
narrate the tale. Once again,
Geraldine Page will star as his
aging spinster cousin—his best
friend. Once again, producer
director Prank Perry guided the
proceedings with exquisite taste
and care. It is wonderful to
watch the work of a director
like Perry, whose beautifully
conceived shots are devoted to
progressing the story rather
than show off his grasp of
cinematics.
Something Special
I think you will love ‘‘The
Thanksgiving Visitor,” which is
why I am giving you this
advance notice. I loved it. In
the flood of thousands of
television shows that pass on by
over the years, few have that
special something that makes
them lodge fondly in one’s
memory. “A Christmas Memo
ry,” which won all kinds of
awards, was one. And “The
Thanksgiving Visitor” is anoth
er. Their unique American
flavor and universal values find
their way to a viewers’ heart
and sense of decency.
Like “A Christmas Memory,”
“The Thanksgiving Visitor” is
set in the rural Alabama of
Capote's boyhood—and the loca
tion shooting of both shows adds
Griffin Daily News
Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1968
so much to their effectiveness
that it is difficult to imagine
them being so good without this
authenticity. “The Thanksgiving
Visitor,” however, takes place
about two years earlier, says
Perry.
This makes for a subtle
difference in the character
played by Miss Page. The
actress notes that in “A
Christmas Memory” the spin
ster “has been hurt by so many
people that she’s suspicious of
everybody but Buddy (the
young boy who is Capote). In
‘Thanksgiving Visitor’ she’s
terribly naive. She goes out to
everybody and then she gets
hurt.”
Sensitive Boy
It is the spinster’s naivete, in
fact, which helps set the climax
of “The Thanksgiving Visitor”
in motion. In the story, Buddy,
a small, sensitive, literate boy
is constantly bullied by an
older, bigger youth named Odd
Henderson. An uncle wants
Buddy to fight the Henderson
boy, so he does, but is beat up.
But he is really chagrined when

Abernathy
Vows To Dance
At Nixon Ball
SWAN QUARTER, N. C.
(UPI) — The Rev. Ralph D.
Abernathy, president of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC), said Tues
day night he will dance at
President-elect Richard Nixon’s
inaugural ball or picket the
White House.
“I’m going to be at the in
augural ball,” Abernathy told
some 600 Negroes at a rally in
this Hyde County community.
“That White House is as much
mine as it is any other citizen’s
of the United States.
“We intend to be there, not
just for ourselves, but for the
poor people of America,” he
the spinster decides to Invite
the bully to Thanksgiving dinner
in hopes of trying to bring out
his better side.
The bully comes, and before
the dinner Buddy sees him
impulsively take a brooch that
means a great deal to the
spinster, and put it in his
pocket. At the dinner table, in
front of a large family
gathering. Buddy sees his
chance for revenge—and expo
ses and humiliates the Hender
son boy. But he learns a lesson
when the spinster tries to
protect the guilty, embarrassed
bully—that the worst crime of
all is to commit an act of
premeditated cruelty against
another human being.
