"WASHINGTON STORY"” GIVES COLORFUL
LACKGROUND OF NATION'S CAPITAL
M-G-M production head, Dore
Cchary, and writer-director Robert
F'rosh, who worked together pre
viously to turn out such outstand
ing pictures as “Go For Broke!”
and “Battelground,” have come
u» with a new winner in “Wash
ington Story,” adult, witty and
vastly entertainning comedy-dra
ma now showing at the Palace
Teatre, with Van Johnson, Pat
rcia Neal and Louis Calhern in
the starring roles.
In “Washington Story” Pirosh
h-s delved deep into the heart of
Washington, D. C., to reveal what
mrakes the nation's capigl tick
end to portray its legislators as
f'ash-and-blood characters, some
of them “knights in shining ar
mor,” other with an eve riveted
to next year’s election—but all
of them human.
To do this he has evolved the
story of Alice Kingsly (Patricia
Neal), a skeptical young newspa-
Perwoman who has been sent to
Vashington on a “hatchet job.”
That is, she is to find an ap
parently stainless congressman,
pry into his private as well as
‘public life, and expose him as a
phony and demagogue. Her victim
is Joe Gresham (Van Johnson),
representative from Newchester,
Mass., and after ingratiating her
self with him on the. pretext of
writing an idealistic magazine
piece, Alice accompanies him on
Phyliss Kirk Is
Gleeful; She Gos
Fer Man As Last
Phyliss Kirk, a beauty who
never ended up in the hero’s arms
in Hollywood and developed a
minor eomplex about it, is able to
look the town’s Lanas and Hedys
straight in the eyes these days.
She winds up as the palpitating,
swooming object of Alan Ladd’s
affections in “The Iron Mistress”
and is shouting that “at last I've
gotten a man. It's a step in the
right direction.”
Velvet-eyed Phyliss, once under
contract to MGM and Goldwyn,
is mighty happy she tucked eight
live TV shows under her waist
cincher before reporting back to
Hollywood.
“You get lost in the shuffle in
Hollywood sometimes and don’t
get enough to do. Pretty soon you
don’t believe you can do anything.
~TV gave me back my confidence
as an actress.”

lust “BILLY MOUSE'S AKWAKADE” - TERRYTOON - “NEWS”
Ihis daily activities.
It is this “checking tour” which
offers the observer a novel and
fascinating inside glimpse of the
work of an average congressman,
for Joe’s typical day’s decathlon
ineludes trips on the double to
testify before committees, sorties
with lobbyists, mail by the sackful,
speeches, radio transcriptions, ap
pearances before the television
lcameras, a flood of visitors and
telephone calls, invitations—and
the fifty-three miles of the Capitol
corridor! Alice thinks she has her
prey cornered when Joe makes
an aburpt about-face switch en a
|vital piece of national legislation
but a neat plot twist opens her
eyes to her mistake and Washing
ton Story” ends in a happy blend
of love, laughs and legislation.
’ Van Johnson is happily cast in
| the title role of this diverting film,
giving his congressman a forth
right=vitality and appeal. Patricia
Neal is both glamorous and in
' ¢isive as the scheming newspa-
Iperwoman, and Louis Calhern
| in the third starring role of Charles.
|Birch. Joe’s political foe but per-‘
sonal friend, contributes many of‘
lt.he picture’s laughs. In an excel
lent supporting cast are Sidney
Blackmer, as a determined.lobby
ist, Philip Ober, as a powerful and
| unscrupulous columnist. Elizabeth
}Patterson, as Joe's ladylike house
keeper, and Patricia Collins, as
| his devoted spinster secretary.
Winters, who speaks almost per
fect English with just a slight
accent, told me:
“You can act with an accent
only if you don’t have an accent. 1 |
guess I’'m fortunate. I have an
accent but it’s more international
than Italian.” |
Speaking English only for the
second time in a movie, the hand
some Italian star finds it “exciting
because the tension is so great I
can’t relax.”
His report on the money made
by his Italian film, “Better Rice,”
is an eye-opener. The picture cost
only $120,000 and «already has
made three million dollars.
S
Tyrone Power, free-lancing for
the first time it 14 years, sputtered
today at an in-print hint that he
wasn't happy over the assignment
of Piper Laurie as his co-star in
U-I's “Mississippi Gambler.”
He’s no Mr. Viper where Miss
Piper or any other young star is
concerned. Ty laid it on the line,
and “besides, I okayed her for the
role. How do these ridiculous
| stories get started?”
Ty spiked another rumor, too.
That his handsome hide was
covered with goosepimple patches
about his forthchoming stage tour
in “John Brown’s Body.” And that
his London starting stint in “Mr.
Roberts’ was a step toward over
coming a chronic case of jitters
about following in the footsteps of
his famous father of the Americah
stage.
“I’'ve never had any fears about
the stage,” Ty said. “I'd have been
back in the theatre long before
“John Brown’s Body” but my
other activities blocked it.

“A serious shortage of engine
ering _personnel is handicapping
the expansion of the highway con
struction program,” states E. L.
Swain, Merit System Director.
“The design and detailing of road
and bridge plans require highly
qualified design engineers and
skilled drafttsman, and the execu
tiog of these plans demands quali
fied project and resident engine
ers.”
“Federal defense projects
and heavy construction pro
grams have created an abnormal
demand for these men,” continued
Mr. Swain, “and unless we can
recruit additional personnel, the
proposed program of highway
construction will suffer.”
Applications are requested from
engineering graduates and men
with good experience records in
highway design or construction.
Salaries are commensurate with
qualifications. Interested candip
dates -are urged to contact the

STUDENTS FETE PROFS
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP)—Lead
by a college humor society stu
dents at Montana State University
here closed the school year re
cently with a “Be Kind to the
Faculty Day.”
Apples were distributed to all
instructors. Other students gave
favors to the professors in class
while more treated the pedants
to between-class refreshments.
The society’s creed: “Everyone
should love the faculty — at least
one day out of the year.”

"LURE OF WILDERNESS" FILMED IN
GEORGIA AT STRAND TODAY
“Lure of the Wilderness,”
Twentieth Century-Fox's new
Technicolor outdoor adventure
film photographed in Georgia’s
Okefenokee Swamp and starring
Jean Peters, Jeffrey Hunter, Con
stance Smith and Walter Bren
nan, arrives today at the Strand
Theatre.
Based on a story by the late
Vereen Bell, a native Georgian
who gave his life as a Naval of
ficer off the Philippines in 1944,
“Lure of the Wilderness” narrates
the tale of a young girl forced to
live with her fugitive father in
the treacherous swamp for eight
years and is suddenly faced with
the bewilderment of returning to
civilzation. Almost = completely
primitive, she is more at ease
roaming the alligator-infested
swamp with a bow and arrow
than facing the outside world.
How her father and a young
Georgian who falls in love with
her bring her back to civilzation
provides of the drama and sus
pense of the story.
For the second time in less
than two years, the first occa
sion being “I'd Climb the High
est Mountain,” Twentieth Cen
tury - Fox dispatched camera
crew;; and actors to Georgia for
actual on-the-spot location film
ing. .Setting vp their headquar
ters at Waycross, the unit
entered. the Okefenokee Swamp
Park, one of the South’s most
beautiful scenic wonders.
Given its name by the Semi~
nole Indians centuries ago, the
term “Okefenokee’ can be trans
lated as “The Land of the Trem
bling Earth,” deriving from the
fact that this vast area of ap
parent solid depth is actually a
semi-floating island.
The Swamp, with its spectac
ular grandeur and abundant sup
ply of wildlife, gave the film an
authenticity which movie tech
‘nicians said could never be du
plicated on a Hollywood sound
stage.
“Lure of the Wilderness”
marks Producer Robert L. Jacks’
initial achievement. Directed by
Jean Negulesco *with Robert D.
Webb serving as associate pro
ducer, the production wag writ
ten for the screen by Louis
Lantz and features Tom Tully,
Harry Shannon, Will Wright,
Jack Elam and Harry Carter.
Although the Cornell varsity
crew hasn’t won the Intercollegi
ate Regatta since 1930, the Big
Red still leads in number of vic
tories with 15,
