College seniors preparing
teach school may take the Nation-
al Teacher examinations on four
different test dates each year
instead of one, Educational Test-
ing Service announced today.
New dates set for the testing of
prospective teachers are: Decem-
ber 12, 1964; and March 20, July
17, and October 2, 1965. The tests
will be given at more than 550
locations in the 50 states, ETS
said.
Scores on the National Teacher
examinations are used by many
large school districts for employ-
ment of new teachers and by
several states for certification or
licensing of teachers. Some col-
leges require all seniors preparing
to teach to take the examinations.
Lists of school systems which
use the examination results are
distributed to colleges by ETS, a
nonprofit, educational organiza-
tion which prepares and admin-
isters the examinations.
On each full day of testing,
prospective teachers may take the
Common examinations, which
measure the professional and gen-
eral preparation of teachers, and
one of 13 Teaching Area examina-
tions (formerly called Optional
examinations) which measure
mastery of the subject they expect
to teach.
Prospective teachers should con-
tact the school systems in which
they seek employment, or their
colleges, for specific advice on
which examinations to take and
on which dates they should be
taken.
A bulletin of information con-
taining registration forms, lists of
test centers, and information

who is anxious to have a new
mother—becomes ensnared in a
trap of beautiful women. The
lovely eligibles are Shirley Jones,
a nurse-divorcee who lives in the
apartment across the hall; Stella
Stevens, a “well-stacked dumb
bunny,” who Ford pushes off on
Jerry Van Dyke; and Dina
Merrill, a cool fashion consultant
with “skinny eyes," like all the
bad ladies in the comics.
The ensuing pursuit makes for
lively entertainment and a real
“fun movie."

Ronny Howard registers displeasure at ‘brunette’ Dina Merrill’s
attention to his father, Glenn Ford.
“Opie” Plays Cupid In New Pic
The movie begins brutally. A
mother, her paramour and her
teen-age daughter are arguing
violently. Suddenly, the frenzied
girl snatches a sculpturing chisel
and savagely rams it into the
stomach of the horrified lover.
The glistening red weapon drops
to the floor; the mother screams,
and the lo v e r agonizingly
crumples to his death.
This sensational opening scene,
very reminiscent of the 1958
Hollywood tragedy involving Lana
Turner, her daughter, and her
lover, Johnny Stompanato, is
taken from Harold Robbin’s best-
selling novel “Where Love Has
Gone,” now made into a screen
adaptation. But despite the quick,
suspenseful pace sustained
throughout the major portion of
the film, and the excellent por-
trayals by most of the perform-
ers, the film, nevertheless, finally
Sinks into the vast and murky sea
of Hollywood failures. The fault
lies primarily with the screen-
writer for his unsuccessful at-
tempt to re-write and adapt an
unaesthetic, unsuccessful novel,
and partly with the director and
cameraman for their failure to
effectively heighten certain tense,
dramatic scenes in the film.
Bette Davis plays a wealthy,
conniving Nob Hill widow who
succeeds in dominating her fami-
ly circle, and who eventually
effects the destruction of her
daughter’s marriage and life, and
the near destruction of her son-
Miscegenation:
A Hard Lesson
By Frank Zuik
One Potato, Two Potato, now
showing at the Texas theater, is
an intensely sensitive story woven
into the stark and merciless
black-white tapestry of racial
prejudice.
The movie tells the story of a
lonely, white divorcee who moves
into a small Ohio town with her
young daughter. There she meets
eventually falls in love with, and
marries a Negro office worker.
Immediately they withdraw from
the threat of the public eye, and
move to a farm owned by the
parents of the bridegroom, where
they valiantly attempt to lead the
lives of any newly-wed couple.
But they know this is impossible.
One day, the wife’s first husband,
disillusioned and empty, returns,
desperately hoping to reinstate
himself with his wife and daugh-
ter. He is repulsed by what he dis-
covers. Motivated by love and
revenge, he sues for, and is
awarded, the custody of the child.
And so, the movie ends. But with-
in the plot line is found a glitter-
ing display of talent, imagination,
beauty and forcefulness. This is a
first film for director Larry
Feerce (son of tenor Jan), and
he deserves laurels of excellence
for it. Peerce has added magnifi-
cent dramatic height to the film.
Some scenes are brilliant in their
realness and effectiveness.
Barbara Barrie, winner of the
best actress award at the Cannes
Film Festival for her role as the
divorcee, is perfect and utterly
poignant. The Negro husband
(Bernie Hamilton), the ex-hus-
band (Richard Mulligan) and the !
supporting cast all contribute
outstanding performances.
In one of the film’s scenes, a
taxi ominously pulls up to the
farmhouse. The father has come
for his daughter. The most power-
ful scene of the movie ensues: the
mother and her Negro husband '
stand, helpless, as the girl is taken
from them. The girl thinks she is
going away only for a short while,
but when she sees her suitcases
packed with all of her toys and
clothing, she realizes with horror
that she is to go away for good.
She runs to her mother, desper-
ately begging her not to send her
away. The mother stands im-
mobile, like a tragic, placid
caryatid resigned to the weight
of an intense burden thrust upon
her. Suddenly, the girl with all
the fury and hatred of a wounded
child stiffens her arm and
strikes her mother, again and
again and again. The girl turns
and rushes into the taxi, and it
speeds down the drive. In an out-
burst of passion, the mother, as
if pulled by a magnet, rushes
after the car and is embraced by
dark, stifling clouds of dust.

in-law and granddaughter. Susan
Hayward plays the rebellious
daughter, a prominent sculptress,
who futilely attempts to free
herself from the clawing grasp
and penurious influence of her
mother. She desperately seeks
meaningful fulfillment. She falls
in love, marries, raises a daugh-
ter, and finally finds her fulfill-
ment. But only for a while. Her
husband’s life dream, his incen-
tive, is frustrated by the mother.
He begins a love affair with the
bottle, drinking himself into
divorce court. Susan is awarded
custody of the daughter, and sur-
renders to a life of dissipation
and despair. She changes lovers
as often as she changes clothes,
and unwittingly and ironically,
begins to bring about the destruc-
tion of her own daughter’s life.
Then one day her daughter (Joey
Heatherton) commits murder . . .
The film suspensefully con-
tinues on and ends with a scene of
triumphal acting by Hayward.
The characterizations of the three
women by the author lack a suf-
ficient amount of depth and
intensity, but, nevertheless,
through sheer acting ability, Hay-
ward, Davis and Heatherton bring
a vitality and poignancy to their
roles. This is especially true of
Susan Hayward, one of the finest
actresses of this century. Merely
to see her act is sufficient reason
for paying admission to see this
movie.
Glenn Ford, Shirley Jones and
Dina Merrill come to the Hilltop
film festival tomorrow evening in
“The Courtship of Eddie’s Fath-
er.” Stealing the show in this
delightful movie is Ronny How-
ard, more familiar to American
television viewers as “Opie" on
the Andy Griffith show. Time
magazine has called young How-
ard a “male Shirley Temple.”
Glenn Ford plays a widower
who everyone is trying to talk
into getting married. Ford—
