Gregory Peck As
'The Gunfighier'
Gregory Peek and Henry King,
respectively star and director ol
•
one of tiro year’s hits, “Twelve
O’clock High,” have joined forces
again for the new Twentieth. Cen
tury-Fox drama, "The Gunfight
er," due to arrive Sunday at the
Watts Theatre. With Peck in the
starring role of Jimmie Ringo,
outlaw who wants to reform but
finds his reputation stacking the
cards against him, and the vet
eran King behind the helm, 'The1
Gunfighter" is a movie that looms
large on the trim horizon.
The centra! premise of a gun
lighter whfc can’t live down a
legendary past that has become
reprehensible to him offers film
fans a deeidely new twist and
offers the film itself a solid moral
basis that can’t help but give it
a stature several cuts above the'
level of even top western movie
fare.
Supporting Peek, who is cur
rently riding high in all polls ol
film favorites and was an Acad- ’
emy Award nominee this year,
arc Helen Westcott, lovely new
comer to the screen who jumps
from .minor parts to a femine
lead in this one; Jean Parker,
one of the youngest of the screen
veterans, who returns after an
overlong movie holiday; and
Millard Mitchell, character actor
who has lately distinguished him
self in the movies after an honor
ably long career on“Broadway.
Also featured is another trio
of New York importations. The;
stage was good to Karl Malden,
giving him leads in both Arthur
Miller’s “All My Sons" and Ten
nessee William’s “A Streetcar
Named Desire.” It was in Wil
ham’s other great hit. “The Glass
Menagerie," that Anthony Ross
first scored mightily And it was
as a boy star in "Tomorrow the
World” that Skip Homeier, the
grown-up villain of “The Gun
fighter," played his first heavy
role. The balance of the “Gun
fighter” company includes Ellen
Corby, Verna Felton and Richard
JaeckeL
The screen play of “The Gun
fighter” was written by William
Bowers and William Sellers from
a story by Bowers and film di
rector Andre de Toth. Nunnally

a veil of Chantilly lace. Her bou
quet combined white orchids and
lil.v of the valley.
Preceding her down the aisle
were eight bridesmaids chosen
from Hollywood's loveliest, dress
ed in heliotrope chiffon and car
rying bouquets of lilacs and maid
enhair fern.
The wedding as it took place on
the screen, took three days to
film and more than four weeks
to prepare. Decorations alone in
cluded the foilage and branches
from some twenty magnolia trees
woven into 500 yards of garlands.
The subsequent sequence depict
ing the reception at the bride's
home was five days before the
cameras.
Although Elizabeth Taylor re
cently played the role of a bride
in real life, her “reel” wedding
in “Father of the Bride,” M-G-M
comedy showing from Sunday
through Wednesday at the Vteear
Theatre, was as real as any wed
ding could be.
The church was there, with its
white carpeted center aisle flank
ed on either side by candles.
There were bridesmaids and ush
ers, a minister with his prayer
book, smartly gowned guests and
the families in the front pews.
There was an organ playing soft
music and the two traditional
wedding marches.
There was Spencer Tracy, the
screen father of the bride, as
jumpy and solicitous as the genu
ine article There was Joan Ben
nett as the bride's youthful motli
ei And a groom, Don Tayloi (no
relation to the bride), who ad

is the movie that teams so dis

Between them they have piled

these men plus Gregory Peck as
star and an unusual theme stamp
an authority on “The Gunfighter”

'Guilty of Treason'
At Marco Sunday
The Hi illy wood grapevine is
is bu?zing again This time the
word is that noted sereen aetor
Charles Bickford already twice
nominated for the Academy
Award "Oscar," is in line for a j
third such honor for his porfor- ]
mance in tin- role of Cardinal
Minds/enty in "Guilty of Trea
son.
The film which opens Sunday
at the Marco Theatre, through
Eagle Lion release, brings to the
screen for the first time the
shocking story of the infamous
truelife treason trial of the Hun
garian Primate.
Bickford himself feels that the
role of the Cardinal is the elirnax
of his 20 years in motion pictures,
during which time lie has played
nearly every type of role and en
joyed an international popular
ity achieved by few actors. So
successful hits his acting career
been that he now finds himself in
the enviable position of being
able to pick his film roles—or
turn them down if he feels in the
mood.
The number of offers he has re
ceived for starring parts, since
his Academy Award nomination
for his portrayal of Jane Wyman’s
father in "Johnny Belinda," has
been tremendous. But Bickford
has chosen to play only a few.
In “Guilty of Treason” Bick
ford plays the role of a catholic
priest I'oV the second time in re
cent years The first won him an
Academy nomination for his per
formance in "Song of Bernadette,"
which also marked his first de
parture from the virile action
parts so long indentified with him.
Although Bickford is modestly
reticent about the possibility of
a third Academy Award nomina
tion. his friends are enthusiatie
about his current portrayal of
Cardinal Mindszenty, which they
are convinced is a magnificent
acting achievement and, unques
tionably, of Award caliber.
Horn in Cambridge, Mass.,
Bickford originally aspired to In
come an engineer and studied at
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, where he acquired his de
gree in that profession.
He became an aetor by chance.
Ollercd a minor stage role when
engineering jobs were scarce, hi*
accepted it and became so imbued
with a love for the theatre that
he never returned to engineering.
I odav, although his conspicu
ously successful screen career and *
his various business interests have*
made him one of Hollywood’s1
most financially independent eiti
/eus, Bickford says lie has no in
tfiilion of retiring 'so long as
they want me for good parts in
good pictures.”
Government Will
Pay indian Claim
The Federal Court of Claims
in Washington has handed down
four judgements under which the
federal government is to pay the
Hie Indian tribes of Colorado And
Utah $31,700,000 m settlement of
a land dispute dating back to 1801
One of the four, I'm $24,206,127,
is said to lie the largest ever made
against the government by the
court.
• The judgements are in payment
for more than 0,000,000 acres of
land taken from the tiles by the
government between 1091 and
1938.
The land involved, it is stated,
consists largely of mountainous
areas in western Colorado, rang
ing in elevation from 5,000 to
13,000 feet. It lias a high mineral
value. Besides two producing oil
fields, d includes extensive de
posits of vanadium, major coal
reserves, what is said to be the
largest deposit of shale oil in the
Uniterl States and more than
9,000,000 acres of grazing land.
has taken.
Opening at Vera Cruz, the story
moves quickly into the interior as
Mitchum and Miss Greer, unwill
ing partners, set out after their
quarry, with Bendix trailing
them. The subsequence adven
tures of the principals build up to
an exciting climax. The film’s
realism is enhanced by its uuthen
ic exterior scenes, all of which
were photographed in Mexico on
Ihe actual locales of the story.
