Western Ford has neglected none of the essential ingredients There are the screaming redskins biting the dust puffing peace pipes beating tom-toms scalping white men wearing war paint aiming arrows and smoking signals It seems a pity then that with all this taking place in rich luscious Technicolor Ford felt if necessary'- to slow- up these healthy activities with over-long intervals of adolescent love-making and tedious sentiment not far removed from East I mean West Lynne THE FILM: Oh You Beautiful Doll (Ode on Leicester Square) THE STARS: Juno Haver Mark Stevens OPINION Stay at

intentionally unintentionally the Soviet Union has issued a false statement The airplane in question was not a B29 out a B24 a Privateer the navaj version of the Liberator which is so familiar to us The aircraft was being on a training flight ana was entirely unarmed MUCH TD EXPLAIN In other words if the two statements are taken together the Soviet fighter pilot shot at an unarmed airplane which subdisappeared presum- sequently disap ably in the sea But all this 1 leaves very much to explain The flight was from Wiesbaden to Copenhagen a distance of 600 miles It appears extraordinary on the face of it that the airplane should have reached Libau another 450 miles away The location of atom plants is one of the most- larrtari uprcti OUP' fir carefully guarded secrets exact knowledge of the occasion on which an a explosion occurred in the Soviet Union may well have surprised Stalin ana made both him and the Russian military forces more sensitive on the subject even than before But the real reason for the presence of the United States navy and air force in the Baltic is their interest in the Soviet submarine fleet This is reputed to number 200 or more many of which can travel at 20 knots under the surface The tactics and dispositions of the Russian submarine fleet on All the King's Hay market Marble Arch Pavilion) THE STARS Broderick Crawford Mercedes McCambridge OPINION: Life and death el an American Fuehrer TOHE English have JL THE FILMi Gaumont never found it easy to thread their whV through the jungle of American politics It is always rather confusing to learn that Southern Democrats are voting Republican or to understand what goes on in a primary or a gerrymander The mixture of legislative corruption local politics and parochial demagoguery which makes up All the King's Men is adapted from a novel which had obviously gone to the career of the late Huey Long Governor of Louisiana for its main outline In tracing 'the pattern of Willie life from his humble backwoods beginning to his eventual lust and drive for personal power this film lashes out at the vicious and violent rules under which the American political game is played TM7ILLIE the idealist the farmer the playboy the family man the drunk the orator the bully the lover the megalomaniac flash before us in a series of short sharp sequences almost as if we were sitting in an express train speeding through a portrait method gives the film movement vitality and an exciting pace but it tends to obscure the personalities and motivations of the characters that flit in and out of life with the buzzing rapidity of bluebottles Broderick Crawford fits the £art of Willie Stark as if it' had een specially tailored for him His rough hard mobile features enable him to switch from the role of a poor prophet to that of a ruthless egotist with astonishing conviction As politically-wise and assistant- Mercedes cynical McCambridge is the most refreshingly different female girsonalitv to come out of ollywooa for years John Ireland as the disillusioned reporter is another new face that should be watched It is not surprising that All the Men won the Academy Award as the best picture of 1949 for it brilliantly tackles a contemporary and important American problem But I am afraid that it never follows through its subject-matter with the boldness and sincerity that it demands It seem to make up

Solution See Page Eleven' i IIMIIIIHBIIMIIRIIIII manoeuvres must be of great interest to American naval intelligence Since April 8 dozens of airplanes have flown all over the Baltic in search of the missins airplane and have even aroused "plo diplomatic protests from Sweden for invading Swedish territory The disappearance of the American airplane was from-this point of view opportune and may well have aroused Russian suspicions Moreover the ten men on board the aircraft whose names have been given to the Press comprise a number of technicians killed in electronic and similar devices Our own Foreign Office emphasize that this is only just one more diplomatic incident however regrettable But clearly there are important lessons to be learned DRIFT TO WAR? Unless we keep cool hearts and heads there is grave danger of drifting into a war which we most certainly do not want and which probably the Russians themselves do not want Perhaps the greatest danger to peace is ignorance Stalin does not hear the truth about the real attitude of the Western Powers from his Ambassador's or fromAhe Communist Parties in the various countries whose members are often as diseased in mind as they are in their loyalty and sense of patriotism Stalin may not even receive a correct report about this incident If the aircraft really crashed into the sea he may still believe that it was a B29 It is essential that some means should be found of conveying the truth to Stalin That is why many people who are strongly opposed to the Soviet expansionist policy feel that direct contact at the highest level with the real rulers of Russia offers the best hope of ensuring peace mm VOICE Meanwhile we must continue to build up our strength in Western Europe as allies of America But the voice of Britain must be raised more strongly Together with the Americans we scored a great diplomatic victory over thq kind of victory which leads to peace The policy of patient firmness of strength in reply to provocation is the policy which we must Sursue during these anxious mes WORLD COPYRIGHT RESERVED pancake-tosser loosen the omelette and toea it It muat not be coloured and it must- be- nice and moiet inside Serve flat i flat unletti EX ERE la my favourite flat omelette Poach one or two baby boned smoked haddocks Make about a cupful creamy white sauce Remove the fish fillets from the akin and add with moat of the sauce to two alightly beaten eggs Cook as for the Spanish omelette Pour the remaining eauce over the top aprinkle with a little grated Parmesan cheese slip under the grill for a minute then elide off on to a hot platter An epicure's oish this Club demoistratloa Competition WINNER of this Cookery Club Recipe Competition for sweets with gelatine Mrs Roots 51 Woodbury Road Walthamstow E17 for which she receives one guinea Members of the club may have copies of her recipe Butter- scotch Sponge -for six they send a stamped addressed envelope' Subject for next -'competition RECIPES USING OATMEAL ROLLED OATS Closing date first post next Tuesday Please state how many your recipe serves MERCEDES McCAMBRIDGE Most refreshingly different femola personality for years wouldf seem they are second only to the manufacturers of the hydrogen bomb in the hearts of the American people This time a Mri Fred Fisher is glorified in glorious Technicolor It seems his special con-tribution to our times was the music that was sold under such titles as Come Josephine In My Flying Machine I want You to Want Me Peg My Heart and Who Paid the Rent for Mrs Rip Van the end Mr Fisher's music is played by the greatest symphonic orchestra in the land after they have warmed themselves up by pecking away at Beethoven and Mozart -Massed girl choirs proclaim that Ireland Must Be Heaven Because My Mother Came From There Massed boy choirs sigh There Is A Broken Heart tfr Every Light On 'Broadway The harps twang away at Chicago ana Dardanella music is good music some people like it played faster some people moralises someone as the curtain mercifully descends Can't somebody do something WORLD COPYRIGHT RESERVED PROGRAMME COMMENCES 110 122 344 606 B28 Evening Standard Cookery Club Now is the time to store eggs merican bombers approaching shores of his territory (The ory viet Government of course' ow regard Latvia as Russian y) 1 1 erritory) standard BRIDGE By Harrison-Gray Dealer: South Love all All 9 8 8 4 A 4 4 10 8 1 4 A II 4 9 6 4 1 0 5 4 A 7 II 9883 4 8 6 4 3 3 8 5 73 58 4AKQJ754 I The English South player I missed a chance on this hand from this years between England and Eire a He opened One Club and I although East-West remained silent the bidding stopped at i Three Hearts North making -s 10 -tricks against a lazy I defence In the other1 room I South also opened One Club 5 but the Irish pair bid and made Three No-Trumps in the face of Spade bidding by I the opposition The South hand is ideally suited for the semi-bluff I opening of Three No- Trumps North must pass i match this call in spite of his six- card Heart suit and East- West could scarcely find the only defence to beat the 2 an opening Heart lead by West and a Spade i return by East- SlIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIINIIlC ryt tm Are you a view with?
