Ill
Caged" Coming
To Viccar Next
Some of the most realistic and
dramatic episodes that take place
behind prison walls will he seen
in the startling new drama, “Cag
ed,” the Warner Bros, film open
ing Wednesday at the Viccar
Theatre.
And “Caged” is that much more
unusual in the fact that it is about
women jn prison and discloses the
shameful plight of first offenders
betrayed by men and now Ire
hind prison bars.
Starring Eleanor Parker and
featuring top actresses Agnes
Moorehead and Jan Sterling,
“Caged" tells of the events that
confront a young and beauti
ful girl who is committed to a
women's state prison. How she
makes the gradual transition
downward from bewilderment
to bitter cynicism, later released
to prey on society, forms the
basis of some of the most grip
ping film fare on such a subject
since "I Am a Fugitive From a
Chain Gang." .
Virginia Kellogg, who wrote
this women-without-men story
from which the screenplay was
fashioned, voluntarily commit
ted herself to prison to get the
facts, after Warner Bros, had as
signed her the story idea. As
an inmate, she lived with the
prisoners for months in order
to re-create the stark realism
for the screen.
John Cromwell directed “Cag
ed," and Jerry Wald produced for
Warner Bros.

"Kill the Umpire"
To Be Ai Viccar
Kill the Umpire," Columbia
Pictures' behinrl-the-plate com
edy of a constant ly-bchind-the
eight-ball diamond arbiter opens
Thursday at the Vieear Theatre.
William Bondix is starred in this
cinematic eulogization of what
probably is America's most-ma
ligned individual. At that, accord
ing to Hollywood report, there’s
nothing wrong with Bendix as
an umpire that a good seeing-eye
|dog couldn’t cure! It's a far cry
from his starring role in "The
Babe Ruth Story!"
Una Merkel, Ray Collins and
Gloria Henry top featured sup
porting cast of the film, in which
Bendix is seen as an ardent base
ball fan, whose strident booing
of decisions has gotten him
tossed out of ball park after ball
park, while his too-frequent at
tendance at ball games has gotten
him tossed out of job after job.
Faced by an imminent domestic
crisis, with his wife planning to
leave him, Bendix decides to com
promise: he becomes an umpire,
thus receiving a steady salary
and, simultaneouly, getting a
chance to set1 baseball games.
"Kill the Umpire" carries him
through the training regimen at
the school for umpires in Florida,
and then into minor league ball.
At the former establishment,-Ben
dix finds hilarious difficulty in
adjusting his umpire-baiting way
of life to the rigid disciplines and
techniques which help to make
an umpire what he is.
On the diamond itself, Bendix
does all right until one of his
decisions leads to a near riot dur
ing a crucial game. Home team
fans seriously set out to kill the
umpire or, at least, to tar-and
feather him, and Bendix goes
through a hair-raising series of
comedy encounters before one of
the hall players involved can
clear the air bv his testimony.
Frank Tashlin penned the
screen play for "Kill the Umpire.”
Lloyd Bacon directed and John
j Beck produced the film for Co
i lumbia Pictures. f
