New York - TO - Speeta
cle of an unusual nature and
at least half a dozen fascinat
ing characterizations should
make a winner out of "Law
rence of Arabia," a gigantic
film about this controversial
World I figure which was giv-
en its American premiere re
cently at the Criterion theater
in New York City.
It has faults, including an
unnecessarily long length of
almost four hours, but there
is no doubt that it Is bound
to be one of the "glamour
films ' of the season.
For one thing It introduces'
to American audiences
young, lean-faced, blond Irish
born actor named Peter O'-
Toole who has had extensive
stage experience in England
within a few years. He has
the role of T. E. Lawrence,
and he should be the "differ
ence" in saving this one from
being a "not a woman's pic
ture." The gals will want to
get a look at him. His inter
pretation is somewhat uncver,
but when he is good, he is
quite good.
Egyptian Star
They will also get a long
look at another newcomer,
Omar Sharif, an Egyptian
film star, who Is handsome
and radiates sex appeal. He
plays a sheikh, All, close
friend and desert mentor of
Lawrence in the English sol
dier's effort to help the Ara
bian tribes create their own
nation in the crucible of
World War I. His acting of
the role is impeccable.
Producer Sam Spiegel and
Director David Lean (they
made the memorable "The
Bridge on the River Kwai")
have cast well for the lead
ing roles of the film which
seems to employ thousands
of persons.

the greatest fighter' of th
desert who is more concerned
with combat and loot than
politics. Britain contributes
two of its greats in Alec
Guinness, in the role of
Prince Fcisal, and Jack Haw

lenby, commander of British
forces in the Middle East. ll
is a pleasure tq watch them.
Anthony Quaylc, Claude
Rains, Arthur Kennedy and
Jose Ferrer are others in top
roles. All are fine.
New Locations
Using never-before photo
graphed locations in the Mid
dle East, the film is a cinema-
tographcr's dream come true.
The scope, magic and terror
of the desert Is captured as
never before. Cameraman
Fred A. Young filmed it in
Technicolor and Super-Fan-
vision 70.
In devising the script, Brit
ish Playwright Robert Bolt
has stuck fairly closely to
the known facts about the
enigmatic Lawrence, but I
feel he missed writing as taut
and fascinating a pi -j as Tcr-
rence Rattigan's biographical
play of Lawrence, "Ross,"
which we had here on Broad
way least season. There is,
however, quality In Bolt's
dialogue.
The film opens with a few
shots showing the death of
Lawrence (then calling him
self Aircraftsman Shaw) in a
motorcycle accident in Eng
land in 1035. Then it proceeds
to tell the story of this schol
arly Arabian enthusiast who
talked his way from a minor
Army position into a liaison
assignment to stir up the
Arab tribes against Turkey.
Struggles Detailed
It covers in detail Law
rence's struggle to become
acceptable to the Arabs and
his introduction of military
stratagems that eventually led
to the defeat of the Turks and
the capture of Damascus.
Along the way are some vivid
insights into the inner tur
moils of Lawrence and the
change in him after his cap
ture and torture by the Turks.
The film is a great action
picture much of the time and
a bloodthirsty one. Talk about
your Westerns!
Great though they are, the
elimination or shortening of
some of the desert sequences
would do the picture a world
of good - and cut it to a more
reasonable length.
Columbia Pictures will re
lease the film on a reserved
seat basis in several key cities
within coming weeks.

Chrisimai is for tha children, is a popular saying and cer
tainly this holds true for homemade candy making. They not
only enjoy eating the candies, but the pleasure of helping to

candies and candy making and a taffy pull is enough fun to
warrant giving a special "taffy party." Popcorn balls and

Most American Homes
Said Drier Than Desert
By MARGARET McELHENY
United Press International
Chicago - ilTIi - The :iir in
most American homes during
the winter "is drier than in

engineer-researcher.

authorities believe that a lack
of proper humidity dries out
throat and nasal passages and
paves the way for colds.

Pork - Cranberry
Treat Makes
Festive Fare
Pork chops really need no
gilding, but sauces are always
a welcome variation for dress
ing chops in attire for com
pany or adding interest to
family menus. A sauce using a
plentiful food gives the entree
a seasonal air as well as add
ing to its economy.
Such a topping is cranberry
sauce, for cranberries are at
the height of their season. The
tart berries are always a de
licious accompaniment for
meat, but pork chops become
a special taste treat when
cooked right with them. The
slow braising creates a mouth
watering combination of fla
vors.
Rcba Staggs, meat expert
and home economist, recom
mends braising pork chops for
about 45 miniutes or until
tender. The cranberries and
brown sugar are cooked with
the chops. When the meat is
done it is placed on a platter
and the sauce is thickened
with cornstarch. The orange
slices are added and the tart,
tasty sauce is spooned over the
chops. It s an attractive, appe
tizing combination.
PORK-CRANBERRY TREAT
Six loin or rib pork chops
cut three-fourths to one inch
thick; one tablespoon lard or
drippings; one teaspoon salt;
one-eighth teaspoon pepper;
one cup raw cranberries; one
fourth cup brown sugar, firm
ly packed; two tcas-poons corn
starch; two-thirds cup water;
6ne large orange, peeled and
cut into slices one-fourth inch
thick.
Brown chops in lard or drip
pings. Pour off drippings. Sea
son with salt and pepper. Add
cranberries and brown sugar.
Cover tightly and simmer 45
minutes. Remove chops to a
hot platter. Combine corn
starch and water and add to
cooking liquid in pan. Cook,
stirring constantly, until
thickened. Add orange slices
and heat through! Serve over
chops. 6 servings.

Hatteras Island Folk
Have Two Christmases
By
ALFRED McCORMACK. JR.
Rodanthe, Hatteras Island,
N.C. - OIPIl - A tradition
brought from England with
the first colonists is still a way
of life on North Carolina's
Outer Banks.
There are few who enjoy a
happier Yuletide than do the
weather-wise folks who live
here in Rodanthe, the village
on this fabled isle where
Christmas twice is observed.
The Outer Bankers celebrate
Christmas on December 25
along with everybody else.
They also have a second
celebration January 6, even
larger and livelier than the
first. Known as Old Christ
mas, it is a survival of a tra
dition which began hundreds
of years ago when people re
fused to accept the edict set
ting the calendar observance
of Christmas ahead 12 days.
Old Christmas .
Old Christmas is known
sometimes as Little Christ
mas, Epiphany or Twelfth
Night a celebration that
takes place on the 12th day
after December 25. While the
celebration is centered at the
villages of Rodanthe and near
by Waves, actually the whole
island is concerned with the
tradition.
The Hatteras Islanders are
direct descendants of Amer
ica's early English settlers.
Largely untouched by many
aspects of contemporary life,
they still speak in a peculiar
Old English twang. Commer
cialism is lacking to any large
extent for Old Christmas.
The celebration begins be
fore dawn on the morning of
January 6 with eerie fife and
drum music filling the salt
tinged air as a band of roving
amateur musicians winds its
way about the village. They
go from house to house until
all villagers have been visited
and piped awake by the
strange serenade.
Every villager who Is able
joins in the procession, along
with numerous visitors from
the mainland who annually
come to take part in the an
cient ceremonies.
By noon the procession
reaches a central point whera
a table of monstrous propor
tions is spread with all the fix
ings of Christmas. Commun
ion, prayer, fellowship and
feasting prevail. With tha
coming of dusk, a Mardi Gras
type celebration gets under
way.
The islanders parade in
gaily-colored costumes. Wear
ing mummers' masks, they
join a meandering, shadowy
procession which winds its
way across the sandy dunes
and grass patches.
The highlight is the arrival
of Old Buck two men
dressed as a steer with a pair
of horns protruding forth and
a cow bell which clangs out
a syncopated rhythm to tha
clapping of hands. Old Buck
charges ponderously and gro
tesquely around in the crowd
with Santa Claus on his back.
Later, the villagers gather
in an old schoolhouse for sing
ing, folk dancing and candy
boiling, followed by an oyster
roast on the beach.
Cranberry Punch
Spiced fresh cranberry
punch is a beautiful and re
freshing beverage. Wash ona
pound of fresh cranberries.
Place in a suacepan with three
cups of water, two (2-inch)
sticks of cinnamon and one
half teaspoon of whole all
spice. Cover and cook six to
eight minutes, until skins'
pop. Do not overcook. Strain.
Add two and one-half cups of
sugar, and stir until dissolved.
Chill. Add one cup of fresh
orange juice and one-half cup
of fresh lemon juice. Garnish
with orange slices stuck with
whole cloves. Makes about
two quarts.
Cheer a hospital patient
during Christmas with a
small, live tree, decorated
with miniature ornaments.
