Its chief appeal is a refined kind of sentimentality which never becomes saccarine, and a pleasantly engaging romantic outlook on childhood. Eight-year-old Harry (Jon Whiteley) and five-dear-old Davy (Vincent Winter) come to their Grandaddy's (Duncan Macrae) farm because they are orphans. Grandaddy sends them to school, teaches them to pray, and at- tempts to bring them up as disciplined Christian youth. The boys,: WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:1 GOP Governors 'Nix' Nixon: By DREW PEARSON OP REPUBLICAN Governors in Washington this week rebell- ed privately but vigorously against the idea of accepting Vice-Presi- dent Nixon as the GOP candidate if Ike doesn't run. Informed that the President had been trying to sell "his boy Dick," GOP governors threw up their hands. They remembered the all too recent Gallup poll showing Ke- fauver running far ahead of Nix- on in a test Presidential heat. And no matter how much Ike likes Dick, GOP politicos are making it clear they don't like Dick them- selves. It was to sell Nixon that Ike bowed out of the proposed trip to San Francisco for the 10th anni- versary of the United Nations. The excuse Eisenhower gave was that his schedule was too crowded. When San Franciscans checked his schedule, however, they found it was not crowded, but that Ike was just pushing Nixon to the fore in- stead. * * * IT'S A SAFE prediction that An- thony Eden will win the British elections.

An investiga- tion by the Navy at Cheatham Annex, Va., recently reported by this column, shows that for years civilian workers have been em- ployed by the Navy Department at the taxpayers' expense to dig oys- ters and send them to the high brass in Washington and Norfolk. Although junior officers were officially cited in the investigation report, it now develops that among the admirals who got the oysters were Vice Adm. "Oyster Forks Charley" Fox, Rear Adm. John Ends Wood, former Commander of the Norfolk Supply Center, and Adm. T. Earle Hipp, also stationed in Norfolk. Admiral Wood, now retired and living at Elkins Park, Pa., was quite frank in admitting that he relished oysters. "Did you know, Admiral," he was asked by this column, "that oyster digging was going on at Cheatham Annex 2" * *i * "YES," SAID the Admiral, "as a matter of fact I received a quart personally every once in a while. But as far as I knew, they were being gathered during off-duty hours. "Did you assume, Admiral, that the employees at Cheatham were volunteering their free time to sup- ply oysters for Navy officers?" "Well," parried the Admiral, "there are all kinds of good things down in that part of the country -fish, oysters, lobster. I just as- sumed some of the officers went out on week ends and picked up these oysters." Actually, oyster digging for the benefit of admirals by Navy per- sonnel cost the taxpayer about $2,000 a year. * * * IT ISN'T OFTEN that a high-up fficial who loses his job goes back home to run for humble of- fice. However, Tom Buchanan, hard- hitting former Chairman of the Federal Power Commission, has gone back to his home town of Beaver, Pa., to run for judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Buchanan is the FPC chairman who did almost more than any other one man to protect consum- ers of natural gas and electricity from the big gas companies and an oil-gas millionaire himself, helped knock him off the FPC. (Copyright 1955, by the Bell Syndicate) however, tire of their lonely exis- tence and begin to plead for a dog. GRANDADDY DOES not like dogs; he will not feed animals that cannot be eaten. One day, Harry and Davy come upon a baby that has been temporarily abandoned by its sister. They decide it will do in lieu of a dog, and proceed to set it up in a homemade shelter. The kidnapping is finally dis- covered by Grandaddy; Davy, afraid the child will suffer the fate of domesticated animals, screams, "Don't eat it, Grandaddy. Don't eat it." Wrathful neighbors bring the boys to court and the fury of righteous society is turned upon the innocents; but the matter is happily solved. It is rather obvious that every- one concerned with the film (from screenplay writer to director) knows and understands children. Never are the boys allowed to be- come overly "cute." Their scenes have a fresh and appealing nat- uralness, as if the camera were catching them at an unsuspecting moment of play. * * * WHITELEY AND Winter, the youngsters, have natural acting ability and they read their lines with the abandon and unrestraint that is a mark of the very young. Fortunately, Writer Neil Paterson has supplied them with believable dialogue. Woven into the main story are several sub-plots, the chief of which is a poignant and rather moving romance between Adrienne Corri and Theodore Bikel. The ma- jor difficulty is that beside the boys, it seems rather superfluous; but it is played with admirable charm. There is also the tender plight of Grandaddy who learns how to express his inner kindness and love through the aid of his young charges. AT THE STATE: Shakespeare Tops In 'Prince' "PRINCE OF PLAYERS" may best be described as a series of Shakespearean cameos. It is the semi-historical account of the Booth family; Junius, Ed- win and John Wilkes, two gener- ations of American Shakespear- ean actors of the middle 19th cen- tury. Junius Brutus Booth (Raymond Massey) was an actor with a touch of genius, a touch of madness and an insatiable craving for alcohol. His greating acting hopes were for his son John (John Derek), yet Ned (Richard Burton) was the son on which he leaned. UNABLE TO continue a tour of the West Coast, the king abdi- cated in favor of Ned, and on his return home died in a drunken stupor. Ned, at first received poor- ly by the miners for which he played, soon carried the Booth septer to heights it had never be- fore known. Then began the. conflict of the two brothers. Ned was obviously the better actor, so to compensate for his deficiency, John began a career of spying for the South, a career which culminated in the assassination of Lincoln. But the story mainly concerns Ned's theatrical advance, his fear that some of his father's madness has tainted him, also, and his great love for his wife, Mary Dev- ln (Maggie McNamara). * * * MASSEY IS properly tragic, Derek is adequate in a compara- tively small part and Miss Mc- Namara is quite good as Mary Devlin. But from the moment Bur- ton steps on stage as Richard, the movie is his. The best things about this movie are the Shakespearean scenes, and in them, Burton is superb. Since they are the best known of the Bard's endeavors ("My kingdom for a horse," the balcony scene, "To be or not to be" and the mo- ther-son scene from "Hamlet"), they are also the most difficult, and Burton carries off a difficult job in a manner that would please John Guilgud. His Richard is distracted and Amhif'P ~ti he. n - - fril . DUNCANdMACRAE as the stern master and Jean Anderson as Grandma contribute a living por- trait of unbending, nineteenth- century parents, whose deep love of children can only be ineffec- tively expressed. The Little Kidnappers is a fine example of off-beat filming. Its British producers (Sergei Nolban- dov and Leslie Parkyn) have wov- en a fresh portrait of young life that should prove worthwhile for many more than the art audiences. to whom the film is now being shown in the United States. -Ernest Theodossin DJAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of th University of Michigan for which the Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.

Those that noticed him felt a little sorry for him. Then the freshman sat down to play the piano, and no one ever felt sorry for Paul McDonough again. Last night, at a graduate mixer, Paul Mc- Donough assembled his orchestra for a fare- well appearance in Ann Arbor. The Escanaba honky-tonk pianist will graduate from the University Law School next month for a career that will attempt to mix law with music, a .rather uncommon combination. It's been a cheer-packed seven years for Paul. Thousands of couples have danced to his orchestra in" that time. Many thousands of others have whistled his songs, in an area extending, generally, from Buffalo to Chicago --the Union Opera's usual road itinerary.

As-msoteRi n,,- A- .E PAUL JOINED the Opera four years ago for a show called "Never Too Late." He wrote comparatively little, but one song he did write, "Can't Imagine" became, and still is, a cam- pus favorite. Speaking with a little of the reminiscence in his eye, Paul attributes the song to a "crush" for his orchestra's vocalist Betty Mag- yar. Betty's getting married (to another) this fall, so there's usually a teary violin in the arrangement when he plays the song now. Paul feels that where his piano-playing is concerned, he may have come on the scene 25 years too late. His nimble fingers are hap. pier banging out a ragtime beat than "this Dave Brubeck stuff." BUT THAT he can still make honky-tonk style appealing is witnessed by the fact that an Escanaba nightclub offered $200 a week for his talents this summer. A law professor heard the figures and like everyone else wondered, "Why study law?" Paul isn't too sure himself. He'll admit that his first love is music, but is proud that de- spite a four-year time-consuming hitch with the Opera, he's getting out of law school at a relatively green age of 23. (And he'll deny the rumor that the reason he went to law school was to continue his career with the all-male musical.) At the piano, old time song favorites are his forte and he can rattle off music, lyrics and even date of publication to most any tune back to 1895. THE MEN of Strauss house, his home for the six years, were soon happy to find that he likes nothing more than to play, and have a group around the piano sing along. He's been known to go on for hours this way, until the last hoarse voice softly whispers it* BEETHOVEN MASS: 'Missa Solemnis' Pleasing At May Festival THE Philadelphia Orchestra with the University Choral Union gave a pleasing performance of Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis" at last night's May Festival Con- cert.

However, its weakest point was diction. As is usual for works of this type clarity is sacrificed for the beau- ty of the music. The chorus did sing with good intonation and balance through- out the evening. However the voices seemed to strain a great deal in many of their louder pas- sages. Lois Marshall gave her usual fine performance. Miss Marshall sang with ease and flexibility and, the power necessary to fill Hill Auditorium. , LESLIE CHABAY'S performance was marked by wide fluctua- tions in quality. In the softer parts Mr. Chabay's voice captured exact- ly the style and emotions neces- sary, but he seemed to strain in order to be heard when the or- chestra's accompaniment got loud- er. Nell Rankin and Morley Mere- dith both gave acceptable rendi- tions of their parts. But neither seemed secure enough to become absorbed in the music. Both gave their best performances in the Agnus Dei section of the work.
