THE AUSTIN AMERICAN Saturday, March 2, 1946 -Page 12 The Show World DOWNSTAIRS STORE Livestock Show Winners Get Cash Awards Saturday it and know I haven't any that drives me He begs from the bartender, he steals a woman's purse in a night club and is caught, he tries to sell his typewriter but all the pawn shops are closed for Yom Kippur, he borrows $5 from a prostitute, he falls down a flight of stairs and lands in the alcoholic ward of the city hospital. He has the D.T.'s, he pawns his girl's coat, he tries to kill himself. It is a violent and awful story and you'll never take your eyes off the screen. If there has ever been a scene more terrifying than the D.T. sequence, we hope never to see it.

Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder, experts in violent themes, have treated the screen play magnificently. They show, rather than tell. Birnam's mental confusion and anguish. Most of the footage is given to pantomime with no fancy their animals in this year's annual competition, with an grade counting three points, a two points and a one point, Each point will be worth $2.50. Other prizes will be given to those who won and placed in the best gain-in-weight competition, in the Jersey heifer judging, the lamb competition, and two classes of capon competitions, and in showmanship.

The prizes will range downward from the $27.50 Clyde Lundgren of Lund will receive including $12.50 for the A and grading of his two calves in the competition and $15 for taking first place in the daily gain competition. Gordon Berggren, also of Lund, who owned the grand champion calf of the show will get $12.50 for the A and grading of his two calves, $1 for fifth place in the showmanship competition and 25 poults for having the grand champion calf.

New Highway To Bring Scenic River Route Fctrm-To-Market Outlet Provided By Proposed Road The proposed new Austin-Marble Falls highway south of the Colorado river will provide not only a utility farm-to-market route but will be a scenic road offering beautiful vistas of the Colorado river lakes and hill country west of the capital city, W. D. Dockery, Dist. 14 highway engineer said Thursday. One main link in the highway will be the several hundred foot long bridge over the Pedernales river.

Tests for a foundation for the bridge which will span the 500-foot Pedernales backwater from lake Travis are now being drilled by employes of Dist. 14. The new, straighter, farm-to-market highway between Austin, Marble Falls and eventually Llano and other cities to the west, is in the state highway department's three-year past-war building program, and is. one of several Central Texas projects due for construction in that period. Dockery said present plans call for com pletion of the bridge, then the western section of the highway from Bee Cave (the Trading Post) to a connection with US highway 281 south of Marble Falls.

Deeds wlil be turned over to the Travis county, Blanco and Bur net counties commissioners courts in the near future for purchase of 120-foot or more right of way for the new farm-to-market road.

Randall of the city attorney's office will brief the city's case against C. G. Rogers, former Austin policeman who resigned this week, City Atty.

Trueman O'Quinn, said Friday. O'Quinn said the case, which would be an injunction suit, would probably be ready to file in a district court by Monday or Tuesday. The city will seek an injunction against Rogers to enjoin him from further violation of the city zoning ordinance, O'Quinn said. During a public hearing Wednesday, Rogers, who had claimed previously that he resigned under pressure, which charge the city council denied, admitted that following the refusal of the city zon ing board to grant him dwelling permits, he disregarded their action, and went ahead with alterations of his property to accommodate two veterans and their wives. The zoning board denied him the permit because he failed to come up to zoning requirements in convert ing his property, and neighbors with whom he had had many per sonal quarrels, objected.

Following his admission of vio laling the ordinance, and the testimony, Mayor Tom Miller and City Mgr. Guiton Morgan stated that they would file suit against Rogers, The first skull of the so-called Neanderthal man was discovered in 1856 in Germany.

'Losf Weekend' A Paramount picture, produced by Charles Brackett, directed by Billy Wilder, screen play bv Charles Brackett and Billy Wildr, from the novel by Charles Jackson, musical score by Miklos Rozsa, with the following cast: Don Birnam Milland Helen St. Jane Wyman Wick Birnam Terry Nat Howard de Silva Gloria Doris Dowling Rim Frank Faylen Mrs.

Deveridge Mary Young Mrs. Bolxter Mrs. St. Lilian Fontaine Mr. St.

James Lewis L. Russell AH the raving you've heard about "The Lost Weekend" is justified. It is an incomparable film achievement that can be recommended without reservation. Something rare and wonderful happened when they made this picture. It's extraordinary, to say the least, when Hollywood drops its rose colored glasses for honest story treatment.

It's the first time that Hollywood ever produced a drunk who isn't funny. Ray Milland as Charles Jackson's Don Birnam is the most tragic character you've seen on the screen. The five days and nights of his long, lost weekend are horrifying, and that's a word don't throw around lightly. Vibrant Story What sugar is to a diabetic, whiskey is to Don Birnam. He is an acute alcoholic, a desperately sick man who must have whiskey or endure torture.

He has no money and he must have whiskey not when I have it, it's when 1 want Car Victim's Rites Saturday Rheathene Blackmore, Austin's fifth automobile fatality this year, will be buried Saturday. The six-year-old lass died Friday at 5 a. m. at Brackenridge hospital, where she was taken Thursday night after being struck by a taxi--cab. She is survived by her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Carl Blackmore of 350!) Gonzales street, and three brothers. Police said that William F. Tally, driver of the taxicab that hit the girl, reported he was traveling south jn the 600 block of Springfield road at a moderate speed at the time of the accident. He said he rushed the girl to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Dr. T. E. Dodd, intern on duty, said that the girl was conscious when she brought in to the hospital, and remained awake most of the night. Services will be held at the Cook Funeral home Saturday at 3 p.

m. with the Revs. Charles Noble and E. L. Sparks officiating.

Burial will be in Oakwood cemetery. Police said the accident still is being investigated. They took statements from Tally and other witnesses. Beits Plans To Attend Brother's Graduation Judge and Mrs. Charles O.

Betts will leave Friday afternoon for Galveston to attend the graduating exercises of the school of medicine, University of Texas, Saturday when William A. Betts, brother of Judge Betts, will receive his M. D. degree. Dr.

Betts has been studying in the medical school under the army student training corps since 1943. He plans to serve his interneship in a Detroit hospital. He is a former teacher of science in University junior high school and at the Austin high school. In addition to receiving his degree, Dr. Betts will be awarded a reserve second lieutenant's commission in the army medical corps.

Unorthodox The excellent and unorthodox use of the camera greatly enriches the picture. The "hidden camera" technique, used to photograph Milland's staggering search for an open pawn shop on New York's Third avenue, achieves unexcelled realism. The scene in which Birnam's inflamed subconscious mind envisions nonexistent images is the shock scene of the picture.

A live mouse and an artificial bat are caught by the camera in grotesque machinations completely terrifying to the man (and to you) in whose imagination their screaming, screeching beings take form. Ray Milland gives the finest performance of his career and will undoubtedly win the Academy award for his work. Jane Wyman establishes herself as a dramatic actress with her part as Birnam's faithful girl and Philip Terry is good as his patient brother. "The Lost Weekend" is to be considered as a great step forwafd in the potential of the motion picture medium. 'Sherwood Forest' A Columbia picture, produced by Leonard S.

Picker and Clifford San-forth, directed by George Sherman and Henry Levin, screen play by Wilfrid H. Pettitt and Melvin Levy with the following cast: Robert of Nottingham Cornell Wilde Lady Catherine Anita Luise The Queen Esmond Friar Turk Edgar Buchannn The Regent Henry Dnniell Kltx-Hoi liert Marrendy Robin Hood Hicks Will Srarlet John Ahtmtt If it were established that Ray Milland saw "The Bandit of Sherwood Forest," ii would be easy to see why he took to drink. It's not an easy experience in one day to undergo two emotional climaxes: witnessing Ray's DT attack in "The Lost Weekend" and an hour later watching Anita Louise and Cornel Wilde simpering at one another. Wilde, a healthy looking young man who has worked his way through a couple of box office pictures to Remember," "Leave Her to probably hung on a big one after he saw himself In this one. As Hood, he does everything his old man did in his younger days: romp through Sherwood Forest, slay the villains with his arrows and the ladies with his verve.

For, as is the case with other good things of life, the harm lies not in use, but in abuse. That is why we are so deeply impressed to have our heartfelt sentiments come to flaming life upon the screen. That is knowing how truly its dramatic emotional impact will stir the hearts of all we Ao the applause of motion picture critics who hail Ray Milland's inspired performance and this brilliant screen drama, "The Lost Weekend," as the finest screen achievement of the we, of the House of Seagram, wish to add our own sincere and enthusiastic acclaim. For, not only has Paramount Pictures produced a masterpiece of suspense-filled entertainment.

they have succeeded in burning into the hearts and minds of all who see this vivid screen story our own long held and published belief some men should not drink! Yes, that is our most earnest conviction. Indeed, we published back in 1938 a moderation message titled with those identical "some men should not drink" might well have been the name for this great picture instead of "The Lost Weekend." Ever since Repeal in 1934, the House of Seagram has exerted all its influence to further the cause of moderation in drinking. In newspapers and magazines from coast to coast, we have published such significant statements as "Drinking and Driving Do Not Mix," "We Don't Want Bread Money," "Pay Your Bills first" and "We Don 7 Want Bond Money."
