Has Time Changed Ingrid Bergman's Critics?
Answer To Be Provided at Saturday Banquet

Br JACK V. FOX
Unittd Pimi Corrnpondtnt
New York UP; Seven years
ago Edwin C. Johnson of Colo
rado took the floor of the Unit
ed States Senate to demand that
Ingrid Bergman never be per
mitted to set foot on American
soil again.
Senator Johnson said he had
been enjoying movies for more
than 40 years and that Miss
Bergman had become his own
favorite actress of all time
until she ran off with Roberto
Rossellini.
Johnson excoriated Miss Berg
man then as "our most popular
but pregnant movie queen" and
said her "unconventional free-
love conduct must be regarded
for what it is an assault upon
the institution of marriage."
This week the former sena
tor was asked how he felt now.
"I still think the speech was
a pretty good stand." he said,
"but perhaps I've softened with
age. I guess I'm glad she's com
ing back . . . time changes every
thing." Her for Award
Whether time has changed oth
er bitter critics of Miss Bergman
may be seen this week end
when the actress comes to New
York for 34 hours to accept the
award of the film critics for her
performance in "Anastasia."
Miss Bergman was at the top
of the movie pinnacle when she
left in March, 1949. She had
won the Academy Award for
her performance in "Gaslight."
Her leading men, one after an
other, had been such stars as
Bing Crosby, Gregory Peck,
Cary Grant, Gary Cooper,
Charles Boyer, Spencer Tracy
and the late Humphrey Bogart.
But she became the object
of a great hue and cry in Amer
ica when it became known that
she had left her husband. Dr.
Peter Lindstrom, and 10-year-old
daughter, Pia, for Italian
director Rossellini.
The criticism reached its peak
in February, 1950. when Miss
Bergman gave birth to Rossel-1
lini's son in Rome while she was
still married to Lindstrom. She
and Rossellini have since mar
ried and had two other children
twin girls.
Never Covered Up
Miss Bergman never tried to
cover up her conduct or excuse
it away.
"One women's group wrote
to me," she said last August,
"that I had once been a perfect
example for mothers and now I
was a horrible example. They
saw me in 'Joan of Arc' and
thought I was a saint. I'm not.
I'm just a human being."
Now she is in for a week end
such as America reserves for its
celebrities who have strayed
From the time her plane lands
on Saturday until she takes off
for Paris again on Sunday, Miss
Bergman is in for considerable
chaos.
The high point of her visit
is the Saturday night presents
tion at Sardi's restaurant, in the
heart of the Broadway theatrical
district, of the film critic awards,
Winners along with Miss Berg
man are actor Kirk Douglas,

NBC's Steve Allen scored
something of a coup in his week
ly struggle with Ed Sullivan by
lining up Miss Bergman as well
as other award winners for a
filmed television interview
which he will show the next
night.
Sullivan, who has been try
ing for some time to get Miss
Bergman to appear "live" , on
his show, asked his audience last
July whether they would like
to see her. Suliivan said this
week he got more than 10.000
letters and "they went slightly
against her percentage-wise.

College Mugs Collect
More Than 300 Toys
Ashland More than 300 toys
wer,e collected by the Mugs, an
off-campus service-social club at
Southern Oregon college, during
the annual Christmas toy drive,
club officials have announced.
Many of the toys were new,
they said. They were turned
over to Ashland authorities for
distribution. Among projects for
collection of toys was an assem

he said, wrote "She's a tremen
dous actress, a tremendous per
former. She has suffered
enough." Those who went against
her said: "She left her husband
and had an affair with another
man. Why should we support
her?"
Sullivan said his sentiments
were with the first group and
that the success of her movie,
"Anastasia," has vindicated that
feeling.
"The public has shown that
the tide of sympathy has turned
in her favor," he said. "They're
seeing the picture. There has
been no sentiment against her.
Nothing from the churches or
the Legion of Decency or any
thing like that."
Churchmen say it is highly
unlikely that any major church
group will criticize her during
her visit although some indi
vidual clergymen may do so.
The private reaction of many
church people is that criticism
would be very unfortunate. One
churchman commented that
Christ spoke about throwing the
first stone.
