IQ Saturday, June 10, 1950 DETROIT FREE PRESS UM.I.JI.IRIIU V. I .1, Young Mexican Star elmont Star Gazing Paul Douglas Charms Propaganda Doesn't Come Off as a Chicago Gangster BY Field of Nine Hill Prince, Middleground to Duel in Rich New York Feature NEW YORK (JP) There were no surprises as they closed the entry box for the $75,000 Belmont Stakes with the names of 10 horses headed by Hill Prince and Middleground. THAT BIG LUG Paul Douglas is certainly, as they say, a sweet personality. It's easy for the gals to "Love That Brute," title of his new movie at the Fox Theater. No woman could blame Jean Peters as Ruth Manning for falling in love with him as Big Ed Hanley, Chicago gangster of 1928.

But this comedy is most successful in the scenes which satirize the behavior of a big "mob" and its leaders. Big Ed's romantic interest in Ruth sets the story in motion. ill kr? 9 iiiMWM-ffiirffBrrfii-rWllll -in i Yet the character of Ruth is a personality split between a nice girl from Rainbow Falls, and a highly-glossed cabaret Lalo Kios, principal figure in "The Lawless," visited Detroit Friday with William H.

JJ twt like thisl entertainer. That's the authors' fault, not Miss Peters'. She does nicely by the role. Diminutive scene-stealer Is Peter Price, 10, as Harry, the "little gorilla." He's a Detroit (if you please) gangster's orphan rushed in by Big Ed to pose as the son Ruth is to look after. The little fellow is Georgie Price's son and already a trouper in miniature.

THE NAME cast has Arthur Treacher as Big Ed's butler and Keenan Wynn as Bugs, his first lieutenant. Joan Davis is comical as Mamie, night club girl and mobster's widow. Cesar Romero is the fashion-plate rival gang leader. Pretty Willie. Every angle of gang warfare is played while Big Ed tries to keep the truth from Ruth.

He's not really a killer at heart, as the action amusingly discloses. He wants to get out of the racket. Finally his funeral gives him the out. Uniformly accomplished acting makes "Love That Brute" a skilled parody, in spite of some uneven-ness in the story.

EST. DAC Host to Marshall Aussie Sensation Swims in Exhibition John Marshall, the phenomenal 20-year-old Australian who set four world records in the recent National AAU indoor will go after two more world swimming standards Saturday, The youthful Yale University freshman will seek the 500-yard and 500-meter free-style marks in a special exhibition at Detroit Athletic Club pool.

His respective times were 4:31.2 and 2:05.4 and 4:29.6 and The young Australian has been swimming for only four years, but already he.

The exhibition has been arranged as part of the annual DAC Father and Daughters party. 115 Publinx Shooters Fire on 2 Courses The two toughest municipal links, Rackham and Redford, will be the sites Saturday of the National Public Links qualifying trials.

Now horsemen around the Belmont earns are wondering if there could be a major upset in the making.

ALTHOUGH 10 were entered, only nine of the three-year-olds are expected to face the starter Saturday at p.m. Syl Veitch, trainer for C. V. (Sonny) Whitney entered Dooly, along with Mr. Trouble.

If the track is fast, Dooly won't start. When Middleground won the Kentucky Derby, with Hill Prince second, Mr. Trouble was third. Then Chris Chenery's Virginia colt reversed things, winning the Preakness while Middleground took second for King Ranch, and Dooly came in third. Others entered in this 82nd running of the race are Hal Price Headley's Lotowhite, George D.

Widener's Lights Up, Clifford Mooers' Hawley, Brandywine Stable Greek Song and the Brookmeade Stable pair of Sun-glow and Greek Ship. All will pack 126 pounds. With nine starters, the race will be worth $91,950, and the winner's share is $61,350. Second money is $15,000, with $7,500 for third and $3,750 for fourth. Sawyer Guest Star Ex-Detroit Pro Back Leads at Pine Lake Pat Sawyer, one-time pro at Birmingham Country Club, is back in Detroit proving that his golf game still is sound.

Now a businessman-golfer in Minneapolis, Sawyer returned to team with Blaine Eynon, a member of the host club, in the Pine Lake. Invitational. They whipped through their first match with the hottest scoring of the day. SAWYER AND Eynon were four under par for 14 holes in an alternate-stroke team event. Victims of this subpar blast were Dave MacHarg, of Oakland Hills, and Ralph Ellstrom, of Birmingham.

Sawyer and Eynon finished out the round after ending the match and were three under par. In the opposite bracket a successful advance was made by the medalists, Tom Crews, of Detroit Golf Club, and Randall Ahern, of Red Run. They dropped E. E. Richards and Jack Veneman, 4 and 3.

MSC Nine Picks Magi EAST LANSING (IP) Vince Magi, junior centerfielder from Detroit, has been elected captain of the 1951 Michigan State baseball team. Jack Kinney, 1950 captain, will continue in that role for the remainder of this season as The Spartans compete in the NCAA District playoffs here this weekend. Magi has batted .358 this season and led the team with seven home runs. Preps 0 Know Who's Been Best on Sports Front The FREE PRESS will offer a fitting climax to a record smashing high school sports year Sunday. HAL.

SCHRAM, scholastic sports writer, will announce the third annual FREE PRESS All-Sports championship award in all editions Sunday. A statistical tabulation willshow what school had the greatest all-around athletic balance during the 1949-1950 school year. For this outstanding feature, plus complete sports coverage, don't miss SUNDAY'S FREE PRESS. For some reason studio publicity omits any reference to Communism in "The Woman on Pier 13" at the Palms Theater. If anyone thinks the movie could have been called "I Married a Communist," he wouldn't be far wrong.

It's a more melodramatic American version of the same plot as that of the British-made "Conspirator," seen here last March. STARRED ARE Laraine Day, Robert Ryan and John Agar as Nan and Brad Collins and her younger brother, Don Lowry. Brad had come np from a dockside past to office as a steamship company official. "The Party," locally headed by Vanning (Thomas Gomez), wants to foment a shipping strike. When Brad tries to be a peace-maker, a former sweetheart, Christine (Janis Carter) and Vanning blackmail him with his past as a Party member.

CHRISTINE MEETS the impressionable Don and tries to lure him into the Party. Instead, they fall in love. Brad's role is conspicuously weak. He goes a long way with the Party. "The Woman on Pier 13" is one of those movies which makes a fan keep asking, "Why doesn't he call the police?" Yet if the police were called, Party methods of dealing with recalcitrants and renegades couldn't be shown.

That's where the melodrama comes in and pretty corny it is. CASTING AND acting are better than the story. Miss Carter does particularly well as a cold, blond siren who has a change of heart. Detroiter William Talman has a lot to do, and fiendishly, as Bailey, a Party "heavy." Richard Rober is the "good" union spokesman. A picture like this is so full of cliches that it's doubtful whether it can serve as effective anti-Com munist propaganda.

Maybe that's why it isn't being sold as such. H. C. B. Jazz Battles on Theater Stage At 9:30 v.

This story tells the truth good and bad about sororities, but treats the subject with humor instead of a hatchet.

Jeanne can't do it until after her baby arrives. THERE'S QUITE a hassle over getting Elizabeth Taylor to costar with Laurence Olivier in "Sister Carrie." Director William Wyler wants Liz. But there's no guarantee that Liz will be ready and willing to work when she returns from her honeymoon. There's also some talk of Ava Gardner for the part. Joan Evans, tired of being a blond, dyed her hair jet black the minute Sam Gold-wyn left for Europe.

Brod Crawford spent three days fitting 10 loud suits, before leaving for Washington, D. for "Born Yesterday." It's a shame he isn't the same size as Bing Crosby. He might have borrowed some of Bing's for the picture. Bob Young says what he wants for the leading man in "Storm Within A Heart," which he is a cross between Montgomery Clif and Kirk Douglas. Claude Binyon is putting his 60 cows in his next picture, "Friendly Island." Incidentally, movie cattle get a daily salary, plus special compensation for the weight they lose during shooting.

Humans aren't that lucky. YOU WONT SEE "Harvey" until the Christmas holidays. U. I's saving Jimmy Stewart and Josephine Hull for the Oscar Race. "The Kansas Raiders" had to stop shooting on location in Idylwild while a plague of locusts was wiped out.

Shipley Temple owns herself. She served seven years with David Selznick, and is now free to make her own picture deals. Dana Andrews' brother, John, a furniture dealer in Dallas, has cracked out with a song, "Peace of Mind," which is headed for the hit parade. Tony Martin's recorded It. Jimmy Stewart served as chairman of the Los Angeles assembly for the Boy Scouts annual circus here last year.

And Dore Schary has taken on the job, which means that the L. A. Junior College will feature 35,000 Boy Scouts at their next roundup. Constance Talmadge's husband, Walter Giblein, joins her next week for a three weeks trip up the coast. He's never seen Santa Barbara or San Francisco.

We've never had a comedienne on screen with a lighter touch than Connie's. But Jane Greer, if properly developed, could do the same kind of parts. Jane's very talented but shy, and RKO is wasting her talents. i BY HEDDA HOPPER HOLLYWOOD "Take Care of My Little Girl," an appropriate title, has been chosen by Darryl a for Jeanne Crain's next picture. The Epstein twins will put the best Violence Bogs Down in These "Gun Crazy" and "House by the River" make a hive of the United Artists Theater.

Both are movies of violence. "Gun Crazy" has more action, once it gets going. "House by the River" is a sluggish attempt to make a horror movie. IN THE first John Dall grows from a boy obsessed by love for guns to a man infatuated with Peggy Cummins as a carnival Annie Oakley. She leads him into a life of crime that ends in murder and death.

Dall is good in the role, Miss Cummins sulkily pretty. Berry Kroeger and Morris Carnowsky have support roles as carny owner and a judge, respectively. But a juvenile-delinquent opening slows and lengthens the picture unnecessarily. GLOOM SETTLES leadenly over everything about "House by the River" in which Louis Hayward is a weakling author. Janj Wyatt as his wife doesn't know what It's all about every time Hayward goes into a tantrum.

Trouble is, he's strangled Dorothy Patrick while making passes a', her. Her brother, played by Lee Bowman, has helped him dump body in the river. The whole picture has been hammed up until it would be funny if it wasn't so unbearably dull. H. C.

B. Soviet Musical Portrays Life in Siberia "Symphony of Life" in color at the Cinema Theater was filmed in Moscow about three years ago. It takes Americans behind the Iron Curtain to musical life in Moscow with "capitalist" trappings of white-gloved concert formality. It travels by river barge to Siberia, so like our own Northwest. ITS STORY centers around a young lieutenant whose future as a concert pianist is destroyed by a war injury to his hand.

He goes home to Siberia, becomes a draftsman and plays the accordion in a tea house. Two boy loses girl, boy -gets-girl situations develop. One is "straight," one is comedy. The people look healthy and happy. The folk music they sing gives enjoyment.

The color is soft and registers well except for some light-struck scenes. The film is sad for an American because these people cannot associate with the world family of nations in the carefree manner they portray. H.
