'Travels With Mv Aunt.' Touching
3y ROBERT MILLER Kansan Revlewer
Aunt Augusta is a dreamer. All her hectic life she has dreamed of being the main character in stories of romance and adventure. What makes her different from most other English ladies past 40 who daydream of faraway places, or who are dreamers, is that she has been hard at work making those dreams come true for many years.
From the day she deserted her fellow schoolgirls to follow a mysterious stranger in a Paris railway station, Augusta has tried her hardest to be a "woman of the world."
She completed her education in the brothels of Europe and invested her best years in playing mistress to an assortment of moderately wealthy men. Although she was living with a black fortune teller from Sierra Leone, Augusta longed for the companionship of her long lost first "Gent terman," the man from the railway station.
When she learned he had been kidnapped, she enlisted the aid of her recently deceased sister's son, and began to play the adventures once more, in hopes of raising the ransom. So the story begins in George Cukor's "Travels With My Aunt," which was based on the best-seller by Graham
Maggie Smith as Aunt Augusta is a bit hard to take at first, but her overly mannered speech and lax facetious wit make her an alluring appeal of a stale crumpet.
If you can stay with the film, however,
and not walk out for the first 45 minutes,
you may find yourself getting engrossed in what
turns out to be an amusing and touching
character study superimposed on a filmay
plot.
Cukor has repeatedly excelled at directing stories of marvelously strong women and their weaker dependent men ("A Bill of Rights for Women" by Berk,) He has a field day here as worldly Aunt Augusta introduces intrigue Henry to continental ingenuity aboard the famed Orient Express and ultimately, to the battle in Rome, not to us/ruhra about his own parentage.

Author Claims Sequal To God's First Book
By BILL GIBSON
Kansan Revlewer
"As Almighty God, I welcome you to Our latest book. These Words are being dictated by Me - my Living God . . . " Thus begins the latest "divine" message brought to the world in care of author Eugene Changye and Carlton Press (1972). From them fly the messages of interest to all those absorbed in metaphysics or stopped on religion.
My cynicism is not directed toward Changey's communication with God which is a phenomenon I can not judge. But even the most zealous of the Jesus Movement would roll their eyes over such pretentious remarks as:
"Man must have the companionship of a Savior. That Savior is My Son, Eugene, in this world."
Traditional religion has been spurred through the ages by the energies of great poets, artists and composers. The Bible is of poetical and if not theological value. Dante's "Dive Comedy," John Milton's "Paradise Lost," and Christopher Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus" are examples of the ooetic attention religion has enjoined.
In more apathetic modern times the poet has, in many cases, abandoned traditional wisdom and instead has relied. The void has been inadequately filled by well-meaning theologians and crackpots. Chancey's book can be added to this list. It is a non-religious national or rational proof of its philosophy.
"From thy Creator with Love" proclaims a sort of second-comning of God. He suddenly bursts out of age-old silence with the aid of Changye's pen, pennishing the world, that the meek shall inherit the earth and generally reaffirm Christian doctrines.
The book is filled with clichés and inconsistencies. God says, "Man cannot exist by bread alone," and "Honesty is the best policy, Son." Early in the book it is asserted that God will forgive those afraid of death, Son. Yet later God says, "the wages of sin are死 death." One hopes that an all-powerful, all-good, all-knowing God would be more articulate and profound.
For the faithful and patient reader, this book may fulfill its promise to "free a tainted soul and let the spirit worship in peace—free from the darkness of a cynical reader can only hope that God, in his next book, will clean up the discrepancies and avoid the clichés.
For the finest in lightweight trail boots, see the Alps from Fabiano, a durable yet flexible boot that features a sturdy midsole for long wear and padded lining for comfort and warmth. It also features gray for men and women. Also red and green for women. $25.

At age 74 and with some 45 pictures to his credit, George Cukor may have lost touch with the tastes of today's movie-going public (the sex in the film is never blatant as it is in mish) but the maintain his touch in the telling of a sophisticated and witty story.
