Based on Borden Chase's thrill

Hawks' spectacle is the tale of a
man and his foster son who drive
a cattle herd across Texas into
Kansas to the market.
Reviews have placed "Red
River" with the groat pictures
of ajl times. Time Magazine
said "It la a rattling good nut

combined opinions of critics
iium It up with "This Is a pow

ful direction, an excellent cast
and magnificent camera shots."
flamboyant as Its leading lady
and the role she plays, "The
Loves of Carmen'' Is based on
the classic story - by Prosper
Merimee. The tantalizing gypsy
girl of Old Seville in 1830 comes
to life in all the splendor, shame
and savagery when, undertaken
by La Hayworth,
The destinies of four men are
fatefuily changed when fickle
Carmen enters their lives. Young
and ambitious dragoon Don Jose
(Glenn Ford) is her true love and
he eventually fulfills the fortune
teller's warning that Carmen will
be killed by the man she loves.
Character actor Arnold Moss

colorful bull-fighter Lucas.
Although the Bizet music from

Miss Hayworth executes the intri

Stars Talk 'Art')
Then Neglect It
HOLLYWOOD, (UR If the
outside world pictures Holly
wood filled with dope dens and
populated with pugnacious
drunks It's nobody's fault but
the tinseled gods and goddesses
who live here, according to one
of the gods.
You can sell 'em sex and you
can sell 'em sin, says Actor Vin
cent Price, but when you try to
peddle "culture" you run smack
into a solid wall of "stupid ignor
ance." "They scream to high heaven
about the reputation Holly
wood's getting from people like
Robert Mitchum and Bob Walk
er. But when you try to get 'em
to support something cultural
they shrug their S5000-a-week
shoulders and brush you off."
And, Price added, he is just
about the "most-brushed-off" gent
in town. He and his Modern In
stitute of Art.
"We have over 1600 voluntary
members," he says, "and outside
of Edward G. Robinson and
Fanny Brice, there's not a sin
gle Hollywood start who's inter
ested. We opened a year ago and
we've had 35,000 visitors,"
But no movie stars. They're away
at the races or the fights or Ciro's
or Palm Springs.
. Frankly, Price says, he wants
the Hollywood trade because the
museum can use the money. "If
only 50 of them would guarantee
us $500 a year," he explained,
"we'd be in business."
Most of his backing comes from
local society dowagers and people

"But the stars all turn me
down," he said , "And yoii'd be
flabbergasted if I told you the
names of some of these would-
be highbrows."
He has another reason for sling
ing culture at the movie crowd
He wants them to want it.
"An expert from the Chicago
Art Museum tells me Hollywood
Is one of the leading centers for
fine art in the world," Price
said. "But the film stars aren't
responsible.
