For Bub Hewlitt was such a man, a strong man who lived among us in strength at a time when such was needed most. Much has been, written about the man whom the Mysterious Traveler caught up to last week.

However, the things that are most important are those whichjhis living created and his death left behind a wonderful learned clan of sons and daughters to build good in the world. LIES ARE BETTER I like the story" B. R. always tells about Bub. Seems that when he started his newspapering too many.

years ago, Bub kept the lumps off his noggin' by telling the toughs that tiie neophyte was his boy and his, ambitions were not be thwarted by the vims of tough ggs.

Based on a true Story by William1 white, which first appeared in' the Readers Digest magazine, the fewest anti Negro discrimination themed picture on Broadway has been hailed and hurrahed by this city's most austere and critical re viewers. True is the Time's belief that "there are tears ajad there is scripture in this film." However, this reviewer could not but admire columnist Seymour Peck's review which appeared in the July 1 Compass, for it was truly the most penetrating and while it hailed "Lost Boundaries" as a necessary and remarkable production, it also academically called up its inherent found in the leading character. Dr. Carter, portrayed by Mel Ferrer. Mr.

Peck writes: disturbing factor about "Boundaries" is it approaches Dr, garter with an air of kindly condescension. One might expect him to be a man of fierce pride in his race, its culture yet he goes through the picture feeling ashamed and guilty when, at the end the townspeople find out he Negro, it is as though they are forgiving him for being a Negro, as though they are i being generous because he looks so; darned white anyway If Doc; Carter had been dark, could he then have practiced medicine in' that town in the first place?" But be that aside, the film at the Astor is I truly one of humane ideals and skillful with Mel Ferrer giving a beautifully detailed and moving performance as the Doctor. Beatrice Pearson has a gentile, strong quality ss i the wife, and Canada Te. as policeman who helps set the be wildered son straight again, are excellent. As are Rai Saunders, as the doctor friend who urges the Carters to "pass." and William Greaves.
