FRIDAY. APRIL 24, MM
THE THRI8HBS
Fivt
FUCK FLAK
Movie Mores May
Move Moppets
As is usually the case with
movies to which I give bad re-
views, both "Rio Bravo" and "The
Shaggy Dog" stay on and on and
on . . . Sometimes one wonders
about the critical taste of the
masses in matters of this sort.
At latest report, however, we
will have two replacements this
weekend: "Shane" and "Imita-
tion of Life."
Mother Love
"Imitation of Life" is an over-
whelmingly sentimental hymn to
mother love and not a very good
imitation of life. Lana Turner, all
aglitter in what Universal-Inter-
national claims to be a $78,000
wardrobe and $1 million worth of
jewelry, plays a young widowed
queen of the theater who devotes
a good deal more time to her
Broadway career than to her
teen-aged daughter.
Apotheosis
A heavy-handed secondary plot
deals with Miss Turner's Negro
housekeeper and her teenage
daughter who tries to pass for
white. The movie gives mother
Turner a wrist slapping and the
housekeeper an apotheosis. The
picture completely lacks in imag-
ination and restraint and is fit
only for old maid aunts.
Shane Is Back!
We covered "Shane" last week,
but to repeat, it is a very good
western and one which you should
see if you missed it on the first
time around several years ago.
'Hot' Is Here
To round out the first runs,
"Some Like It Hot" is still on
downtown and will probably be
with US fr« While >yetr As you
may remember, this is the flick
with Marilyn M. and Co. 'Nuff
said.
Scientific Aspects . . .
For those of you who are bi-
ologically inclined, there is a show
in Todd AO with trimmings on
natural childbirth at the new Up-
town. This potential Academy
Award nominee is assured of a
long run because of the large
number of people in this town
who are biologically inclined. I
mean like people who are inter-
ested in the scientific aspects of
such events. (The scene changes
uneasily. In fact, it fades out al-
together.)

PLAYERS...

sistants to the director are Mar-
tin McClain and Carruth McGe-
hee. Phil Hughes is in charge of
the orchestra, Joe Rider is music
coordinator, and Jack Bond is

be the first time that a "live"
orchestra has been used in a
Players Shakespeare production.

Why did
14,436
sophomores
enter advanced
Army R.O.T;C.
during 1958?
Many more applied. Not all were accepted.
In more than 200 U. S. colleges, 14,436 college
sophomores met the high standards set. These
students were selected to continue officer
training in the advanced R.O.T.C. course.
Why did each of these young men decide
that he would benefit by fulfilling his military
obligation as an Army officer? Here are two
important reasons. Perhaps they'll help you
make your decision.
1 TRADITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
As an Army officer, you're in command of men. More
men than the number supervised by many civilian ex-
ecutives years older than yourself. To meet your com-
mand responsibilities, you employ a great man$of the
LEADERSHIPprinciples acquired in advanced R.O.T.C.
training. And your executive potential develops while
you gather LEADERSHIP experience. The executive
ability you gain as an Army officer will be an important
advantage in-any civilian career. That's why employment
directors often • prefer men who have served as com-
missioned officers. These men have already proven their
capacity to handle executive responsibility.
2...TRADITIONAL REWARDS
In every organization, greater responsibilities mean
greater rewards. The traditional prestige of an Army
officer is matched by material advantages. A second
lieutenant earns a minimum of $355.88 per month—
plus substantial fringe benefits. Think you might want
to marry soon after graduation? An officer's salary can
make things a great deal easier for a married couple
just starting out. What's more, an Army officer is en-
titled to take his dependents with him, wherever„ pos-
sible. Imagine sharing the fan of travel with your wife
—in the United States or foreign countries like France,
Germany or Japan.
