THE BATTALIOin Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, March 30, 1962 CADET SLOUCH 1 MOVIE go ROUND Palace Through Tuesday—★★★‘‘Walk on the Wild Side” , Tennessee Williams-like is perhaps the best way to describe “Walk.” It’s the tacked-on “like” that hurts; hurts, that is, if the viewer ex pects characters to exhibit an artistically conceived consistency. Granted that Jo (Barbara Stan wyck) is a humdinger of a ma- dam-Lesbian. Granted that Hal- lie (Capucine) comes off well as a too-sensitive, too-reluctant prostitute. And granted that Dove (Laurence Harvy) fill sat isfactorily his role as the ob stacle between Jo and Hallie. But when is who what? Jo often seems only Hallie’s friend; Hallie often seems a rather efficient and willing harlot; and Dove of ten seems a naive buffer rather than an alert separator. Had Tennessee Williams done the screenplay, the viewer would come away thinking, not won dering. Queen Through Saturday — “Fascina tion”— unreviewed — and ★★★ “The Perfect Furlough” In “Furlough,” Tony Curtis por trays a soldier whose attempts to Don Juanize are eventually restricted to his female chap- Campus Through Saturday — ★★★★★ “The Mark” Fuller (Stuart Whitman), a recently paroled sex offender, gets a job and falls- for a somewhat older woman (Maria Schell) than he had pre viously been attracted to. Every thing looks to be on the up and up. But all goes sour when a nasty old journalist writes a nasty old scandal for the nasty old minds of the nasty old towns people. Then, of course, Fuller has troubles. Not to mention a lot of nastiness to deaj with. Yet, no matter how trite the plot might sound, “Mark” still emerg es as a remarkably fresh, well- founded expression ' of the idea that “evil is in the eye of'the beholder.” For the journalist is prudish, the scandal is dis- tortive, the minds are receptive, | and the townspeople are, as are most of us, typical. Struggling hard to satisfy this nation of sentimentalists, the film’s, mak ers insert, toward the end, a bit of anti-Freudian psychology. De spite this, despite anything, see this one. Sunday through Wednesday— “The Bramble Bush” — unre viewed — and ★★★“The World By Night” “By Night is a some times risque sojourn through the world’s more famous nightclubs and gambling halls. New York is there. Las Vegas is there. Paris is there. Bryan, for some reason, is not there. Skyway Saturday — “Careless Years” and “A Private’s Affair” and “Sierra Baron”—All unreviewed. Sunday through Monday week —“Whistle Down the Wind”— unreviewed—and ★“Pepe” The latter is a very long, very corny, very pretentious travelogue. Guion Hall Saturday—“House of Wax”— unreviewed—and ★“—30—” The latter, starring Jack Webb, gives a sad, exciting, tumultous, fake insight into a newspaperman’s life. Sunday — ★★★ “Bachelor in Paradise” previously reviewed. T. Nickell ★ ★★★★Exceptional ★ ★★★Excellent ★★★Good ★★Fair . ★Poor by Jim Earle Mom Lauds Career Day (Editor’s note: The following letter was mailed to President Earl Rudder on Mar. 21, follow ing the annual High School Ca reer Day on the campus.) Mr. Earl Rudder, President, A&M College: Dear Sir: It was a real pleasure to visit A&M last Saturday. The pur pose of this note is to thank you and all those responsible for making “Career Day” possible for interested boys and their par ents. I realize, and appreciate, all the preparation involved in making this a successful event. The young men in charge of our tour were most kind and courteous, and we found that to be true with every student we met. Your friendly “Howdy” made us feel right at home. Again, thank you for your in terest in future Aggies. I feel that my son has made a very wise choice. Mrs. Les C. Fisher 311 Caton Houston, Texas CAMPUS STARTS SUNDAY “ . . .
