The "Honest BY JOHN L. SCOTT Hud." new film at Grauman's Chinese Theater, Is a bewildering, at times brilliant, bitter look at life in the raw. Located in modern Texas, the production pits son against father in a battle of hate and is not recommended for those who prefer to view their movies through rose colored Among them are a vibrato that is too intense to be en tirely pleasing; some shrill ness in the top tones that might disappear with greater relaxation; and insufficient control of the voice when the dynamics are soft, which could be remedied by an im proved technique of breath ing. Miss Keller is obviously musical. Her Intonation is true, her perception of a song's meaning is clear and her interpretation accordingly appropriate.

Still more ex pressiveness in the voice would even be better, and is some superfluous gesturing. With Raymond McFeeters at the piano, Miss Keller easily disposed of her neatly ar ranged repertoire consisting ot three charming songs by Cimarosa; five songs by Brahms including "Immer leiser wird mein Schlum- mer," "In waldeinsamkeit" and "Von ewiger Hugo Wolfs "Verborgen-heit," "Nimmersatte Liebe," Das verlassene Magdlein" and the Air de Lia and three songs by De bussy, and contemporary American sonss bv Diamond.

Sun. at 2 SAMUEL BRONSTON presents' tf "BEST AMERICAN DAViDUSH work by Martin Ritt in his direction of the controversial, single-track plot, are definite credits, turning "Hud" into an absorhing, if troubling, cinematic experience.

In the picture Newman gives one of his finest portrayals as a wretched young punk who deserves and asks no sympathy. He's an immoral, or perhaps unmoral, nonconformist who tries to have his father declared incompetent to run the ranch, assaults the house-. keeper and winds up alone but defiant with his land after his parent passes on. Son Refuses to Change Douglas, the hardbitten, pioneer type, is determined to break Newman as he would a recalcitrant horse; but he fails and. after witnessing the extermination of his entire herd of cattle by hoof and mouth disease (a horrible but unforgettable sequence) he comes to a bitter end himself.

It's a powerful, wrenching portrayal. Patricia Neal, a surprising but eminently satisfactory selection, provides a bit of bawdy humor here and there and combines drabness and attractiveness in quite wonderful fashion. The fourth principal, Brandon De Wilde, as Hud's nephew whose father's mysterious death was supposed to be somehow linked with Newman 15 years before, is a good choice for the role. At the finish the nephew deserts his uncle, unable to stomach the latter's meanness and lack of character. Strong Supporting Cast Others who contribute useful support are Whit Bis-sell, John Ashley, Val Avery, Crahan Denton, Sheldon Allman.

Peter Brooks, Curt Conway, Pitt Herbert and Yvette Vickers. Director Ritt, becoming noted for his emotion-risers, pulls no punches to attract down-the-middle theatergoers. His "Hud" will either aggravate or delight you. Personally, I was delightfully aggravated. Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr.

wrote the screenplay based on a novel, "Horseman, Pass By" by Larry McMurtry. Ravetch and Ritt co-produced the film for Paramount release. It is a pleasure to credit James Wong Howe, long one of the best, with fine photography. Elmer Bernstein provides the rather melancholy musical score. A NOVEL EXPERIMENT involving an American ballet to be called "The Prospector" is being prepared by Gene Nelson in association with Nico Charisse, who created the fantasy.

Woven around an incident in the life, and death, of a California prospector, the subject will be a three-reeler. Nelson said a musical score has been written and will be conducted by William Friml, son of Rudolf. Nature's elements wind, rain, sand, etc. will be the only sets used. Elizabeth Ashley, who scored in "Take Her, She's Mine," is testing for an important role in Paramount's "The Carpetbaggers." The old master of the slow-burn, and double-take, Edgar Buchanan, has been cast in the Doris Day-James Garner-Polly Bergen comedy, "Move Over Darling" at 20th Century-Fox.

He dispensed freely the debonair charm for which he is noted and maintained enough standby energy to conduct the orchestra over his shoul der while singing, to cue the vocal quartet who accom panied him during his act, and to relive a few bov- hood memories in a series of humorous recollections. A Mixed Offering His songs belonged to the present of Wine and Roses," "What Kind of Fool Am as well as to the past Along With the Breeze, Lullaby of Broad and some of the tunes might even be said to belong to him alone No I Martin forewarned the au dience of the excitement in store at the appearance of Eartha Kitt, and he was proved more than correct in his prediction the instant the sultry singer, clad in a red sheath, emerged from the wings.

Sly and Saucy She let the devil take to morrow in 1 want to Be Evil," then purred "C'est Si Bon," and later turned sly and saucy as the "Old Fashioned Girl" who just wants an old-fashioned house with wall-to-wall money. The orchestra filled out the program with several numbers and afforded com fortable support for the performers. MIMl CLAR.
