Italian Fibn To Be Shown At Library "Shoe Shine," the prize-winning Italian film, is coming to the famous Thursday. Friday and Sat urday evenings at 8 p. m. in Love Library auditorium. Admission is 75c. The movie, dealing with the black market of the Roman streets, is sponsored by the uni versity YMCA. The film has been billed as one of the best foreign films in years, receiving a special academy award for 1947. Life magazine, in naming "Shoe Shine" the pic ture of the week, commented: "SHOE SHINE" is the crypt'c title of an Italian film which wLl act on U. S. audiences like a punch in the stomach. Like the brutal "Open City" which depicted the anti-German underground in Rome, it paints a gloomy picture of dead morality and miserable avarice in a crumbling, war- weakened civilization. The main figures are two ragamuffin boot blacks of Deacetime Rome. Caught in the hopeless web of poverty, their parents either dead or too weary to provide for them, they deal without conscious evil in the black market and are caught and sent to jail.

The picture ends with one boy dead by the hand of the other." TIME MAGAZINE has stated: "Cinematically the picture without pretentiousness, a masterpiece; wonderfully rich and supple, bursting at the seams with hu mane sympathy, wisdom and cre ative energy. "Shoe Shine" may strengthen a suspicion that the best movies in the world are be ing made, just now (Sept. 1947) in Italy." Want to moke Mother happy?

In anybody's book, one of them is hustling, strapping Charles H. (Chuck) Percy. Said TIME early this year: Ever since he was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, Charles H. Percy has been a young business man in a hurry. To work his way through college (his banker father had gone broke in the depression), Chuck rercy ran a wholesale business supply ing the university's fraternities with food, coal, furniture and linen. He also held two other jobs, and captained the rough, tough water polo team. In the summer vacation of 1937 he took a job at $12 a week in Chicago's Bell & Howell Co. (cameras). For the next Yt years he was in & out of Bell & Howell, but was seldom out of the mind of its president, Joe H. McNabb. It was McNabb who persuaded Chutk rercy to work for Bell & Howell on weekends and vacations, and gave him a full-time job when he graduated from Chicago in 1941. He was put in charge of a new department to handle defense contracts. The contracts rolled in so fast that six months later, when Percy was 21, he was in charge of the major part of Bell & Howell's business. Just before he joined the Navy as a seaman, McNabb made him assistant secretary and a company director. New Theme. Stationed on the West Coast, Percy spent his spare time studying West Coast industries and the causes of strikes. His reports so impressed McNabb that when Chuck Percy was discharged (as lieutenant), he became Bell & Howell's industrial relations and personnel director. v Chuck Percy The reports were impressive. Percy began to streamline Bell & Howell's management. In 18 months, he reduced the number of departments from 189 to 130, hopes to bring them down eventually to 88. New Boss. This week, rercy got the go-ahead to finish the job and in his own way. To succeed McNabb, who died last week, the directors chose him president. At 29, he is boss of a com pany that sold $18 million worth of motion-picture cameras and equip ment last year, and earned a net profit of some $2,300,000.
