JUNE 18, 1959
Union's New Cafeteria Begins Operation
Photoplay
by John C. West
Cecile B. DeMille,. speaking at the New Orleans premier
ef his last production, "The Buccaneer," made an interesting
point. The late producer-director stressed that the motion
picture industry should make more pictures about American
history to educate succeeding generations in their heritage.
"I think," he declared, "it is very important to keep
repeating American history to Americans. I think our his
tory is becoming unknown because we don't make enough
point of it."'
More important than a debate on how often, or well, the
movies have treated our history in recent years, is the fact
that, in the hands of competent filmmakers, history can be
come more vivid and exciting than through the efforts of the
finest teachers in the best teaching situations.
The specifics of historical incident, such as Claude Rains
as Hyam Solomon, financing the American revolution in
"The Sons of Liberty;" as well as a general over-view (De
Mille's own "The Land of Liberty," edited from innumerable
feature films and presenting a broad picture of this country's
growth and development), have been well presented as mo
tion pictures. One of the happiest parts of many history
courses is the presentation of films such as these by In
structors realizing the truth of that old fact about a picture
worth a thousand words. Departments of. audio-visual in
struction, (such as our own, headed by Robert Stepp and
Les Harvey) weekly prove that the demand for these, and
many other excellent titles, far exceeds their supply.
Yes, historical approach in the movies has contributed to
educational advancement. With such current and forthcom
ing titles as "Tempest," "Al Capone," "Pork Chop Hill,"
"fake Kcnds With the Devil," " John Paul Jones," "The
Hor SoHiers," "The FBI Story" and "The Devil's Dis
ciple," it is believed that they will continue to do so.
This week's Union Sunday Night Movie has been the most
lequested title of an entire year's program. The success of
"The King and I" was little surprise to anybody. As a Broad
way play, it has smashed records on initial run, and later
on tour. Darryl F. Zanuck intelligently sought and signed
Yul Brynner to recapture his stage magic before the Cinema
Scope cameras, and the performance eventually won the star
an Academy Award. The picture co-stars Deborah Kerr.
