Absorbing Drama. The trial of this boy is in itself an absorbing drama. The interest begins with the challenging of the prospective jurors and the tension and excitement mount the opening addresses of state attorney and defense lawyer, the testimony of witnesses, the cross examinations, the exhibits pertaining to the death and the final verdict. Since the screen play of was written by the author of the novel, it retains the validity and explosive power of the original book in action which never falters. The cast comes close to perfection.

This seems to be the year'for Glenn Ford, who follows up his outstanding work in and with another dynamic portrayal as David Blake, whose first experience with criminal law puts him in a harrowinglv false position but who finds the courage to right a wrong. The other performances are out of the top drawer, as well Dorothy as Abbe Nyle, a girl whose love for Blake enables her to escape a past guilt; Arthur as the double-crossing Barney Castle, a man without scruples or morals: John Hodiaks as Armstrong, the forceful District Attorney; Katy as Consuela Chavez, the Mexican mother desperately attempting to save her boy's life.

This great human story will send the opening day audiences soaring into a state of ectasy. Here is entertainment on the highest plane.

This picture cannot be judged by ordinary standards because it clasps all humanity to its heart. Everyone who sees it will be a better person for having witnessed this story of a Scottish immigrant boy, whose conscience would permit no compromise with principles, who fought his way upwards into the love and affection of the America he adopted, who became famous, but remained humble, and who left the world a better place for his having toiled in the vineyard of human uplift. It is the story, too, of the girl who loved him and shared an emotional life that will inspire everyone to learn how really deep great love can be. Richard Todd, as Peter Marshall, brings a man of great heart and character to life. His portrayal is a monument to a man, who in his ministeries and as chaplain of the U.

S. Senate rendered his electrifying appeals to the human conscience. Masterful Acting. His delivery of the famous sermons and prayers is masterful in eloquence and power and enriches the film, which is as electrifying as the man about whom it revolves. Jean Peters was never better on the screen than she is as the romantic girl who learns all the heartaches of wifehood as well as 1 the joys of the love and affection I of a wonderful man.

Everyone in the cast seems to have caught from the story. Marjorie Rambeau. Jill Esmond, Les Tremayne, Robert Burton, Gladys Hurlbut, Richard Garrick, Gloria Gordon and Billy Chapin all give spirited performances. T. H.

PAY INCREASES FOR BEGINNING ENGINEERS salaries for beginning engineers are continuing to increase, according to figures compiled by Earl C. Kubicek, director of placement for Illinois Institute of Technology. Th figures show that the starting of the 1955 June engineering graduate with a bachelor of science degree climbed to $381 per month, compared to the $363 received by the 1954 June graduate. The latest figure represents a decline from the all-time high of $383 received by the 1955 January engineering class.

But, Kubieek said, the differences in the size of classes and other factors accounted for the invariably higher starting wage received by mid year graduates. Kubieek said averages, based on the starting salaries of combined June and January classes at I.I.T., have increased every year since 1949, when the average was $231 per month..
