“The Baby Maker” strikes one
as a study in ludicrous incon
gruity.
It poses fornication as a remedy
for a childless marriage in subur
bia USA.
The principal star and baby
maker is Barbara Hershey (Tish). 1
Her portrayal is that of a 22-
year-old flower child that's been
around. Her past includes a brief
escapade as a topless dancer in
Vegas and previous baby making
experience that “just happen.”
Her life style is the stereotype
hippie cult hideout consisting of
grass, peyote, Andy Warhol-like
films and love, love, love. Glenn
Scott (Tate) represents her lover-
companion who enjoys shirking
responsibility and making leather
jackets that retail for $50. His
role isn’t sad, pathetic or relevant
but does manage to take up time
and space.
The Establishment, middle class
suburbia or “the enemy,” enters
at this time in the form of Sam
Groom (Jay) and Collin Wilcox-
Horne (Suzanne). A well-off,
stable and happy married young
ish couple who happen to be
childless, they purpose an absurd
ly inept business proposition in
volving Tish, Jay, Suzanne and
$2,000-plus if it’s a boy.
During Jay’s two-week vaca
tion he and Tish are to “make a
baby” while Suzanne gets to cook
and clean like any good wife. I
forgot to mention the three are
almost inseparable.
A close, on-the-surface rela
tionship develops among the three
parties climaxing at the end of
nine wonderful (?) months and
the birth of a son.
Tish gets her money plus $100
because it’s a male child, Jay
and Suzanne get his son free and

clear and Tate has his set of
drums with the help of Tish’s
bread.
The photography is ho-hum and
the performances are generally
unrealistic and shallow, save for
Miss Wilcox-Home. Her charac
terization of the wife borders at
points on realism. She at last
registers pain.
Miss Hershey never fully con
nects with her character and
plays her rather naively. Speak
ing about Tish—she would have
made a fine breeding cow.
Sam Groom has nice blue eyes
which he used throughout the pic
ture as his main focal point. He
has quite a ways to go and quite
a lot to learn before they register
expression.
I admit the role of Jay was
far from challenging, but it could
have been played with greater
depth. Lines and wrinkles would
have helped, too.
Glen Scott merits mention be
cause I now know he can flex his
muscles and break flower pots but
that’s about all.
The nude scenes (2) merited
little more than derisive laughter.
Aside from slighting mother
hood and mocking intelligence,
this ridiculous and totally un
realistic move was a waste of
gas.
Throughout the entire picture
I couldn’t help wondering why
it never occurred to the author
to just incorporate eugenics
(artificial insemination) as a so
lution to the entire triangle prob
lem.
I also got the feeling from the
audience response that an attitude
of “you’ve got to be kidding” pre
vailed.

Utah, U. S. begin
sheep death probe
GARRISON, Utah (TP) — More
than 1,000 sheep are dead or dy
ing of an undetermined cause on
a remote ranch in western Utah,
the Utah governor’s office said
Thursday.
The area is about 150 miles
southwest of Skull Valley, where
6,400 sheep died in 1968 in a
secret nerve gas test by the
Army’s Dugway Proving Ground.
The Army at first denied re
sponsibility for the 1968 sheep
deaths, but later acknowledged
that nerve gas sprayed from an
airplane had been the cause.
State Veterinarian James Scho-
enfield was dispatched to the site
of the new sheep deaths via a
Utah Highway Patrol plane. Two
veterinarians from the U. S. Bu
reau of Land Management also
were en route.
The sheep belong to Clarence
Ingram of Nephi, Utah. They
were grazing on Bureau of Land
Management land about 25 miles
south of Garrison, near the Neva
da border.
Ingram was not immediately
available, but Cecil Rowley, who
runs a service station in Garri
son, said the sheep started dying
Wednesday night.
“One of the Ingram boys came
in this morning raving that half
his sheep had started dying dur
ing the night,” Rowley said.
The Ingram ranch is about 200
miles east of the Atomic Energy
Commission’s nuclear test site at
Mercury, Nev., where an under
ground test broke through the
earth’s surface last Dec. 18,
spreading contaminated dust
across Utah.
