Page 2 Summer Session Kansan Tuesday, July 30, 1957 - Two On The Aisle - For those who survived the Western Civilization Endurance Contest and need a brief respite before the onset of Finalitus, there are some good lantern slides currently being flashed upon the old bed-sheets that hang in the Varsity, Granada, and Jayhawker theatres. The Western fan, in particular, will wallow in delight; horsetracks and gunsmoke comprise this week's movie-going diet. Varsity Though the western half of this twin bill, "The Streets of Laredo," is nearly ten years old, it furnishes sorely-needed support for the main feature, "Shadow in the Window." The "up-and-coming" young stars of "Streets" are such now well-established stalwarts of screendom as William Holden, William Bendix, MacDonald Carey, and Mona Freeman. As a sort of mesquitized Three Musketeers, the boys appear as lovable bankrobbers. They have much esprit de corps, but this disintegrated when it became apparent that the corps in question was that of Miss Freeman. Inadvertently, Bendix and Holden send in their boxtops and become Texas Rangers; this is a sociable organization dedicated to the annexation of Lone Star Lake. The remainder of the story concerns itself with the chase and ultimate capture of their old buddy Carey. The companion feature is the melodramatic account of a policeman's attempt to rescue his hostaged spouse from the clutches of three murderous juvenile delinquents. In the role of the wife, a baggy-eyed Betty Garrett blubbers and bawls her way through many a tirade in trying to rejoin her man Friday, played by another Carey named Phil. However, the really bully part is taken by the Great Profile's most flagrant indiscretion: John Barrymore Jr. As the juvenile gangleader who has murdered Miss Garrett's employer, Barrymore combines all the assets of the clan. He has John Sr.'s paunch and dissipated air, Diana's hair, Lionel's snarl and aguish, and Ethel's voice. In short, he looks like a poochy Presley. That these three combined their dynamic talents effectively was shown by the sustained burst of applause and whistling at the conclusion of the piece. Granada Over the road is to be found an off-beat (i.e. dissonant) cowboy-and-Indian western involving more Indians than cowboys. "Run of the Arrow" is a patriotic catharsis about a Confederate soldier who renounces his citizenship to become a Sioux Indian and continue a personal war with the federal government. Rod Steiger as the rebel with a cause drools quite convincingly in front of Utah's beautiful scenery. He squires and finally squaws a fresh young face called Sarita Montell. A smashing company of supporting players helps the often inarticulate Mr. Steiger; Brian Keith of the television series "Crusader," Ralph Meeker of Broadway fame, and Jay C. Flippen all have important acting tasks in the film. After much tension and several massacres, the Indians (now get this, it's a precedent...) end up victorious! They win the coveted hunting grounds and the U. S. Cavalry slinks away to slap on Band-Aids. The film itself ends rhetorically with Rapid Rodney riding into the sunset with a superimposed shot of Sioux City, Iowa, glowing dimly in the foreground. The title of the picture refers to a picturesque bit of savage tribal custom; a condemned man has the option of trying to outrun an arrow or a bullet or something of the sort. It is really little more than a variant on the William Tell fable, except that in this instance the talented Mr. Steiger poses as the apple. Decision: Heap bloody. Jayhawker All else is tame stuff compared to the king of all shoot-em-ups, "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral." Drink for drink and bullet for bullet, this frontier fable makes all other sagebrush sagas seem like patty-cake. Now we went primarily to see Wyatt Earp. We didn't. But in the interim we saw a fine cast give new sparkle to a well-milked classic. The story studies the relationship between Wyatt the Wowser and the notorious Doc Holliday, drill-happy dentist of the old West. Burt Lancaster as the marshall and Kirk Douglas as a tubercular Holliday make a fine team, both as actors and as raunchy reformers. Offering brilliant support is Jo Van Fleet as Doc's hor de combat, and a rotund Rhonda Fleming as the broad who causes an Earpish Burt to finally turn in his badge. John Ireland as Johnny Ringo leads a long parade of badmen that the Douglas-Lancaster duo meet and gun down. With the rubbery voice of Frankie Laine singing a medley of old Welsh mining songs against the mountainous (?) setting of Dodge City, this collection of stars infuses real life into this long, over-romanticized version of history's greatest bang-bang ball. The showdown comes when Wyatt and his brothers shoot it out with the Clanton gang in the highly appropriate metropolis of Tombstone. To even the odds, Doc takes the Earl clan loyalty oath and one by one Clanton and Co. bite the dust. With shotguns, pistols, trench mortars, and other thermonuclear devices burping death, this small war belches up loads of excitement. Realistically enough, the heros are pretty lousy marksmen, but it is implied that most of the Clantons succumbed to a disease known as shotgun fallout. All in all, the film surpasses its prototype, "High Noon," and respects historical fact by leaving Holliday hacking over a deck of cards and Earp loping into the sunset. Verdict: The paramount pyrotechnical panorama. This marks the end of our summer of eyestrain. It is with no little nostalgia and neuralgia that we divest ourselves of the popcorn fetish and, with tear-dimmed eyes, bid farewell to the cinematic citadels. Viva television! Aloha Ohe, Ohne Wackpa! —Tom Sawyer As a correspondent for the New York Times, Walter Sullivan is covering his third expedition to the Antarctic. Simultaneously with his new trip to the frozen southern continent, McGraw Hill is publishing Sullivan's history of explorations of Antarctica, from the 18th century to the present, Quest for a Continent. ... Books ... Sulivan's engrossing account of man's harrowing adventures on this wasteland continent, which to him seems like another planet, describes the victories and defeats scored in less than 300 years of exploration. Men have gone mad in the long winter night of Artacities. They have lost fingers and toes and eyes in their battle to explore the continent. They have given their lives One of the most dramatic accounts is the story of the tragic battle to the death of the famous Scott expedition in 1903. While Robert F. Scott and his men were dying, Ronald Amundsen made his daring dash to the South Pole. Another striking story is that of Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd's lonely vigil in the Antarctic wasteland in 1834. Byrd nearly lost his life during the weeks he spent living as a hermit in a little shack to gather important weather data. Sullivan has included in his book a geological description of the frozen continent and detailed accounts of the activities of penguins, seals and whales. . . In a thick book with a formidable title, *Stevling-Diller Dictionary* by Richard N. Gardner (Oxford), international economics is made an engrossing and at times an exciting matter. What's more, the puzzle has been taken out of what the layman usually considers entirely baffling. This is a history of the collaboration of the United States and Great Britain to replace the economic chaos following World War II with a liberal international economic system. Gardner takes the reader through the complex negotiations which created the Bretton Woods institutes, the Anglo-American Loan Agreement, the International Trade Organization and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, without lifting a single cloud of mental fog. Gardner is a young lawyer and economist of considerable scholastic attainments. After taking degrees at Harvard and Yale, he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. The book is his doctorate thesis. TV Notes The first property announced for NBC's new one-hour suspense series, "Crisis," is "Split Second" by Daphne du Maurier. The series, in which Alfred Hitehock will be involved as producer, begins Sept. 9 in the 10 to 11 p.m. spbt. This will give you some idea of the cost of TV shows. The recent play, "A Night of Rain," on Kraft Television Theater" had just three persons in the cast. But there were 78 in the crew necessary to get the show on the air-11 in the control room, 19 on the technical staff, 15 on cameras and microphones, 12 on the physical production and 21 in the stage crew. And, of course, there were 53 office personnel involved who did not have to be present for the actual broadcast. Nothing succeeds like success—or Rin Tin Tin. The sponsor of the filmed adventure series involving this remarkable dog has renewed for two more years, starting next fall. One of the featured players in the syndicated series about submarines. "The Silent Service," is John Mitchum, brother of the movies' Robert Mitchum. SUMMER SESSION KANSAN (Published Tuesdays and Fridays) Ed. Phone 251 Bus. Phone 376 Editors ...
