Here’s the ever-popular Van Johnson, who plays the role of a professor of English Literature in “Mother‘was a Freshman.” There’s the spectacular scene where the land haron‘s men line up to oppose he immigrant invasion of the railroad â€" and there is the wonderfully colorful fiesta scene at the sprawling Texas ranch house, the film’s main setting, in which all the grand embellishments possible to Technicolor photogâ€" ahy, lush sets and stunning cos- hmes, are on view. The musical score by Dimitri Tiomkin is evaluable adjunct to the overâ€"all importance of “Duel 9n the Sun." His music is melod- ious and it even heightens the draâ€" matic effect of many of the import- ant scenes. The Technicolor pho- tography is the finest this review- er has seen. Although “Calcutta” is laid in India, it is not a. story about India, but a murder-mystery with an In- dian locale. It also deals with the adventures of daring pilots flying the famous “hump” from Calcutta to Chungking, China. Ladd plays one of these pilots, who returns from a trip with his co-pilot, Ben- dix, to find that their flying buddy has been murdered â€" and with an Oriental noose. Ladd and Bendix cannot wait for the polcie to hunt down the murderer. They set out after him themselves, and things immediate- ly begin popping. Ladd meets, falls for, but still suspects the girl who was supposed to marry the murder victim, a beautiful American girl with a dubious bacliground. All the hate and love and fear of the pioneers who settled the Old West are forcefully brought out in this filmic saga, which rises to great heights dramatically. Instead, there is projected against a realistic college back- ground the novel story idea of a lovely young widow, who, finan- cially embarrassed after years of luxury, discovers that she is elig- ible for a college scholarship. Fol- lowing her sophomore daughter to the campus, she enrolls és a freslf- man and falls in love with the handsome professor of Eng- lish literature, with whom her daughter is also enamoured. Seen in' the title role Loretta Young has 'Betty Lynn as her daughter while the apex of the unusual triangle is Van Johnson, as the youngish pro- fessor. The chase continues, with Ladd discovering that a gang of jewel smugglers were using his com- pany's planes for their nefarious business, and that his slain friend was_involved. This leads to some typical Ladd slugging and another murder, which eliminates one of the suspcets. The suspense mounts until it is climaxed by the pulse- spounding. unguessable revelation of the killer} ' ' ‘ ' “Duel‘in the Sun" is spectacular in every way. It's the story of huge and tremendous human con- flict. The story tells of a land baron, his devoted but unhappy wife, his two sons, one of weak character, the other of strong will and purpose â€" and of a half- breed girl who comes to live with them. ‘ VI}, will be seen locally at the Richmond Theatre on Friday and Saturday, November 25 and ‘26. “Mother is a Freshman," which stars those two favourites, Lor- etta Young and Van Johnson, is a college movie where students real- ly act like students, with no chor- us of shapely chorines, no absent- minded professor or not even a game-winning, last-minute touch- down in the final reel. And, on November 28 and 29 at the Richmond Alan Ladd, with Gail Russell for romance and Will- iam Bendix for laughs, will be seen in “Calcutta.” The picture, which took two years to make and six million dol- lars to produce, has as its stars Walter Huston, Joseph Cotten, Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, Lionel Barrymore, Lillian Gish, Herbert Marshall and Charles Bickford â€" an impressive list of movie names. It’s no longer necessary to say that “Duel In The. Sun,” which shows at the Richmond on Wed- nesday and Thursday, November 30 and December 1, is one of the most widely publicized and talked about motion pictures ever releas- ed.

First event sponsored by the committee will be a combination euchre, bridge, cribbage and bingo contest to be held in the school basement on Saturday, December 10. A serious situation is confront- ing the various associations and groups which have made use of Richvale school as their meeting place. Due to the fact that they will be displaced by the use of the school basement as a classroom, they,are making a concentrated ef- fort to raise funds to complete the purchase of materials for the Community Hall. Controlling bodies of the var- ious groups met last Monday ev- ening under the chairmanship of A. Baskervillé of the East Vaugh- an Ratepayers’ Association and the problem was discussed at length.

C. Moore, who was born in London, England, had seen much other service in uniform. Starting his adult career as a postal clerk in London’s Gen- eral Post Office he went, after two years there, into that “top of the heap” military organization, the Life Guards. There he saw royalty at very close range. The Jubilee Med- al which,he wears tells of duty as a member of the Sover- eign’s Escort at the ceremonies attendant upon the Jubilee of King George V. He was on the escort, too, at the wed- dingfif Princess Marina to the Duke of~ Kent and on other State occasions. Many in this district will recall the Life- guardsmen who sit their horses like statues in London‘s Whitehall.

Irritated by the receipt of a speed- ing summons, or caught making off with the property of somebody else, they might have some reason to feel that way. But for those interested in observance of the law and the safety of the community there’s no reason to har- bour any but the kindliest feelings towards the man who is responsible for policing the Hill and who, it might be said, has done it with a tact, discretion and efficiency which has made him many friends.
