THE LOOKING GLASS
Kidnappers Movie
Something Special'
I' or thOM who enjoy truly fine
films. "The Little Kidnappers,"
currently at the McDonald, in
something special.
starring two little Scotch
Canadian boys, the film Ih a
warm-hearted narrative of their
experience* in their atern grand
father's houae.
The movie gets its title from
the fact that the boys keep a
•mall baby for two days, after
finding It in the wood*. It ia in
thin eplaode that the film reache*
it* high point for charm.
The boya, Davie, age !i, and
Harry, age 8. uae the baby a*
a substitute for the dog they
want and can’t have. A *amp|e
of their dialogue about the baby
Ik:
Davie: Harry, what are you
going to call the baby?
Harry: I think I will name it
Kdward.
Davie: (thinking): Kdward'* a
fine name, but I like Rover.
Set in Vuui Scotia in the
early year* of this century,
the story I* unfolded In that
somber and at ark mood uhlch
the Kngllsh have mastered ao
well.
Fine performance* are given
by every member of the cant, but
they are somewhat overshadow
ed by the two boy*. A!»o worthy
Of .special note is the background
music, which sets the mood of
each character for the audience.
Paired with "The Little Kid
nappers” is one of the year's fun
niest Westerns, "Vera Cruz," in
Superncope. an economy sized
Cinemascope.
Starring fiary Cooper and
Hurt Lancaster, the cast and
story of the film take them
selves quite seriously as they
amide through the plot utter
ing word* of one or two sylla
tdes in a monotone.
Filmed in Mexico, the movie
deals with the struggle of the
Mexican people to throw out
their French Emporer Maximil
ian and act up a government of
their own. Into this menu rides
the Americana (Lancaater, Coop
er and crew» who are in the
country to aell their services to
the highest bidder.
Htarting out with the forces of
"Max.'' the motley crew then!
changes to the side of the Mexi
cans. Cooper undergoes a strug
gle with his conscience (it wins)
and Lancaatar dies with all his
ghaming white teeth intact.
Two beauties, Denise Darcel
and Sarita Montiel, are in the
movie also. Darcel portrays a;
crooked countess and Montiel
M[>eiHlH her time trying to con
vince Cooper that he should like
hot.
But, “Vera Cru/.” Just does
n’t have* It, from the first
“Howdy!" to the final gunshot,
the picture isn't convincing, i
l.aneaster’s t«*eth In Huper
scope are even less appealing
than on a small screen, and in
the end. Cooper strides Into the

The picture does have two
things to its credit, however. One
is its haunting theme by the
same name which is played with
great effect through the movie
and the second is the beautiful
Mexican coutryside.
Although Cooper and Lancas
ter have both made some very
good movies, this isn’t one.
Marriage, Family Fellowship Open
A new fellowship In the
field of marriage and the family

’Stock Market*
NEW YORK (AP)—A rally in
the stock market dwindled Mon
day and died when late profit
taking hit the aircrafts.
The market was headed to
ward the old all-time high estab
lished in 1929, as measured by
the Associated Press average of
60 stocks, when it stumbled,
backed down from its best, and
closed barely steady.
The AP average remained un
changed at $157.20, only 50 cents
away from the Sept. 3, 1929, all
time high.
Heavy buying in the aircrafts
was apparent at the opening, and
they were joined by the motors
to pace the advance.
Volume amounted to 3,610,000
shares. That compares with 3,
370,000 shares traded in Friday's
strong market, when the AP av
erage was up $1.20.
Wilson, who is administrator
of the E. C. Brown trust for
social hygiene education, said
that the fellowship will be open
to graduate students who are
working for their doctor’s de
gree in the field of marriage and
family living.
Preference will be given to
candidates who are planning to
do research in marriage and the
' family at the secondary or col
lege level.
The degree may be taken In a
! combination with a degree in
j sociology.
One fellowship will be present
' ed each year both at the Uni
versity and at Oregon State col
lege. It will carry a maximum
stipend of up to $2000.
Applicants should have a mas
ter’s degree or the equivalent.
Applications should be mailed to
the director of the E. C. Brown
trust, Education Center bldg.,
