Bergman's 'Stromboli' Gets
Cool Reception at Preview
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood, Jan. 2Q U.R) A movie audience of 600 fans who had
come to see Hopalong Cassidy didn't seem to like the first public
screening of Ingrid Bergman's "Stromboli," persons who were
there reported today.
The Swedish star gave up her husband, child and career when
she made the picture, which has
been described by press agents
as her greatest work and one of
the best ever made.
"There was a lot of enthus
iasm when the name came on
the screen," Palmer Waslin,
manager of the theater in Long
Beach, Calif., said. "But the
picture wasn't accepted too
well. There's a lot of Italian in
it, you know."
The preview cards were un
favorable too, he said, and a
man who saw six said all were
critical. (RKO, which will re
lease the picture, said there
"weren't any cards.")
"Stromboli" was supposed to
display a new, unfettered, sexy
Bergman. But a studio execu
tive at the sneak preview said
she was sexier in "Saratoga
Trunk."
"I thought It was artistically
one of the finest things ever
done," the executive said. "But
it's going to be hard to sell. It's
a 20-minute travelog of Strom
boli in an 80-minute film. When
things get dull, they throw in a
little sex.
"They can't sell It as a sen
sation though. It's definitely not
another 'Outlaw'."
A newspaperman at the pre
view said the picture was "bril
liantly done" but had "no com
mercialism." "There were a few gasps when
the title came on, and scattered
clapping when it was over," he
said. "Bergman got a few whi
stles in one scene when she got
out of bed in her slip."
Fisherman Mario Vltale got a
few giggles in impassioned love
scenes. The executive said he
proves when he speaks English
that he can't act.
All three pointed out that the
picture probably would get a
better reception in big city art
theaters than among an aud
ience which had just viewed
cowboys and Indians in Hop
along Cassidy'i "False Para
dise." Miss Bergman's embarrassing
publicity apparently hasn't
turned fans against her. Waslin
said they seemed pleased to see
her, and the executive said some
applauded her appearance.

Princess Hopes
To Visit Husband
London, Jan. 28 CP) Princess
Elizabeth hopes to find time
this spring for another visit with
her sailor husband, Prince Philip
at Malta.
A Buckingham Palace press
officer said today the timing
will depend on Elizabeth's heavy
schedule of public appearances.
The heiress to the throne has
had to take over many of her
father's engagements since he
came down with a serious leg
ailment in November, 1948.
The Palace press officer said
a trip by Elizabeth to Malta
when circumstances permit
"would be an obvious thing,"
since Philip's naval duties come
before any social travelling on
his part.
Philip has been first lieuten
ant on the destroyer Chequers
of the Mediterranean fleet,
based at Malta, since last Oct.
15. Elizabeth visited him there
last Nov. 20 to Dec. 28.
She and her 14-month-old
son, Prince Charles, returned to
London yesterday from a stay
with the king and queen at the
Royal vacation home at Sand-
ringham.
