FILM CLASSIC Bounty Reveals New Enjoyment “Mutiny on the Bounty," a film classic, has been re-released. Filmed some 20 years ago, it has lost none of the dash and adven ture which made it a film of dis tinction then. Rather, now that the stars have either aged or com pletely disappeared from the film world, the viewer is more apt to appreciate the film for itself and it's drama than for the personali ties it involves. The plot has become a classic —the story of King George V's ship, the "Bounty,” which sets out from Portsmouth. England for Tahaiti to procure bread fruit plants which are to be used as cheap food for slaves. Captain Vows Revenge The captain—a marvelous sea man but an evil man, incites the crewr to mutiny. The crew sets him afloat in a small open boat some 3500 miles from friendly land, but he vows that he will live to see them ail hanged. He does survive the terrible journey—but the rest of the film concerns the men of the mutiny, some who es cape to another island and bum their ship, thus losing all hope of return; and of the men. some of them innocent of the "crime,” who are brought back to face trial and the wrath of the wicked captain. Gable, Laughton Lead Clark Gable in the role of the mate who leads the crew in their mutiny is a commanding figure. He is a swashbuckling sailor, de voted to duty, to the ship, and even to his captain, yet more de voted to mankind.

His per I formanee is frightening in its intensity and it is not hard to realize why the crew is driven to rebel. Franchot Tone plays the part of a young midshipman with a rather weak bit of artistry. His portrayal is not convincing: it appears almost as if he is trying to convince himself of the part he is playing. .Minor Kolos I'ninsplring In minor roles are such char acter actors as Spring Byington, Movita, Donald Crisp, Ian Wolfe, and Wallis Clark. They are not inspiring, but do add reality to the film's scenes of brutality on the ship and paradise on the South Sea island. The direction by Frank Lloyd is handled in a lusty manner. He appears to be at his best while on the ship, and becomes a bit confused when trying to envision scenes of great dramatic forces rather than those which employ power in the number of people present. Music Most Inspiring The most inspiring feature in the entire production is the music composed and directed by Her bert Strothart. It is rapid and gay in the scenes that require such music, and builds with the entfre plot of the film to the giant cli max when the crew does turn on the captain. It is perfectly fitted to the film, and adds a feeling of atmosphere that would otherwise have been completely lost. "Mutiny on the Bounty” though old. cannot be considered as an out of date or useless film for viewing. It carries much in the way of understanding tyranny and its effects on men. —Gene Gilbert Fall Hospitalizes Mrs. Golda Wickham Mrs. Golda Wickham, Dean of Women, is currently in the hos pital recovering from an acci dent in her home.

Mrs. Murray Warner became acquainted with Mrs. Clarke while she was In China in search of items for the Murray Warner Collection of art, which is per manently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts. Mrs. Clarke served as advisor to Mrs. Warner in selecting Jade and some of the Jade pieces in the collection were purchases from Mrs. Clarke.

The items which aie being loaned by Mrs Clarke to the mu seum for display will be exhibited on the landing next to the Jade Room where the Murray Warner pieces of jade will tie si town be ginning Jan. 30 in connection Selective Admission Discussed by Panel The new selective admissions policy of the State Board of Higher Education is not a "dras tic” move, but should prove reas onable for all institutions in the state system, Earl M. Pallett said Thursday. Pallet, secretary of the State Board of Higher Education, answered questions about the board's newly-approved admis sions plan on a new KWAX panel show, "You Should Know." “We believe that the person with a C average in his high school work can make a success of college with a little work," Pallet said; "so we feel that our selective admission program will not be a drastic move.” Asked if he felt the increased entrance requirements would re sult in a lowering of high school grading standards, Pallet said he didn’t feel there would be much of a difference. He noted that the program, originally planned to go into effect this fall had been delayed until 1958 to give high school students a little advance warning and also because "some ! students have already been ad mitted for next fall.” Wholesome Effect Felt The announcement earlier that i something like this was coming has had a "generally wholesome effect on high schools in itself,” he said. Pallet said that he didn’t feel the new program would result in any more clearly defined “college prep" classes in high schools, "as there is no best single college prep program for a college prepa ration.” The board secretary said that instead of actual college prep programs, he felt that the high schools would emphasize indi vidual student counseling by ad visers. Members of the "You Should Know” panel include Darrel Brittsan, ASUO president; Helen Kuth Johnson, Associated Women Students president; Robert Chap man, KWAX manager, and Chuck Mitchelmore, Oregon Dally Km erald managing editor. with th«* University* FcmIIvhI of Aril* "Baal Meet* Went" srtj.M Bcake would you buy for: a sculptor, an idlor, and one who lives on his friends?
