A dynamo of atomic energy, he takes time off to act, having toured with the Barter players in "Ah, Wilderness!," "George and Margaret" and with Robert Porterfield in "The Virgin ian." A former native of Cincin nati, and head of the drama de partment, Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, he was a member of the legendary Stuart Walker Reper tory Theatre and has appeared in many Warner Bros, movies. The glamorous and vivacious Kay Kendall, Julia in the dazzling comedy, began her career in the theatre as a witch in the Syracuse Children's Theatre and has, at long last, become a full-fledged in genue, or "the singing chamber maid" as the female lead was known in the days of melodrama.

Floyd Moore One of the most significant films in the realm of historical religious | interpretation to come from any cinema producer will open at the I Victory Theater in Greensboro to day under the title "Martin Luther. Many will be able to get along without seeing it. Some will dislike it. But those who care for good movies, for excellent photog raphy, for careful character por trayal, for exciting presentation of a dramatic scene from the history j of western civilization- will want ■ to see it and will want to discuss it with their fellow viewers. One must not expect to see a complete life of Luther; only a se lection of scenes appears from the numerous events of his career fol lowing the nailing of the now famous 95 theses on the church door in Wittenberg. Students of history, of religion, of art, of litera ture, of language will see a pano rama of distinguished personalities stepping from the covers of dusty ! books out on to the realistic stage of West German soil, where the picture was filmed by Rochement for the Lutheran Church. Along with Luther are his quiet companion but indispensable theo logian of the Reformation, Philip Melancthon; the radical karlstadt whom Luther discredited; the po litical and personal protector, Frederick, Elector of Saxony . Then there are two popes of the early reform period, Julius II and Leo N; the able Dominican preacher, John Tet/.el, through whose efforts a great deal of money was raised by Leo N for the construction of St. Peters in Rome; John Eck, the principal antagonist of Luther in ecclesiastical and theological de bate; the emperor, Charles V; Erasmus and Raphael. The film seems to this reviewer to be fair in it presentation of one dominant note in the Protestant Reformation, namely emphasis on authority of the Bible as interpre ted through the free study of an individual Christian, rather than the authority of church councils, traditions or the Papacy. On the other hand, it must be re membered that a film such as this by no means gives perspective for an appreciation of the total histor ical events of the 16th century. It gives no indication whatsoever of the success of the Counter Refor mation in producing able and sin cere popes, distinguished scholars, consecrated priests, through whom a stronger Catholicism appeared. While the film is a good basis for discussion of essential tenets of Lutheranism and Catholicism in a backdrop of growing nationalism in Germany, a more fundamental question may be asked: is Luther's ; answer in 16th century Germany adequate for the religious seeker today? A note about prices: admission for afternoon showings will he 90c and for evenings, 5'7. 20. Students may obtain special tickets from local pastors, or from this writer on the campus, allowing a reduction of 20c in the afternoon and SOc at night.
