Dowling And Minor Parts Add Fine Human Touch

is gone, so are the wages of the
rice pickers. Silvana pleads with
Vanni to leave enough rice for her
fellow. workers. He evades her
plea, but persuades her, in his own
smooth way, to break the dikes
and thus destroy the newly plant-
ed fields so that the trucks carry-
ing stolen rice can escape in the
confusion. Francesca knows the
clever deceitfulness of her former
lover, and corners him with Sil-
vana, whom she only pities, in the
butcher shop. The tragic climax
is reached in a gristly setting of
hung sides of beef as Silvana, with
Vanni wounded beside her, his gun
in her hand, hears Francesca’s
voice echoing across the refriger-
ated room. She hears that the dia-
mond necklace she ‘'wears—her
wedding present—had been given
to her because it was junk—and
she takes the only way out of the
situation.

The performance
Mangano is outstanding among
the movie’s excellences. The bill-
board advertising the movie, while
unbelievably vulgar, is accurate
when it describes her as a combin-

peal than the latter, and makes
the former look sterile. Her act-
ing is natural even when the inter-
pretation of the part demands af-
fectations gleaned from American
movies. The script, given to u3
briefly in captions, never elabor-
ates on Silvana’s complex and in-
tertangled motives, which makes
a story of violence peculiarly sub-
tle. Doris Dowling’s painstricken
face reveals more of Francesca’s
unhappy love affair than the ex-
pository dialogue. Her intelligence,

on it. New York seems to have in
general a higher standard of dance

has a tragic weakness.

half deep-thinking, torn between
selfish desire and sincere love for

very much worth seeing.

The effects of radioactive ma-
terial on animals, plants, and on
human disease are being studied
at the laboratory with great suc-
cess, especially in the location and
treatment of human brain tumors
with iodine radioactive dye, in the
treatment of two types of leuke-
mia with radioactive phosphorus,
and in diagnosing and treating
thyroid gland disorders, including
cancer, with radioactive iodine.

discovery, Brookhaven has gone
further into atomic research, has
tried new techniques, and has ap-
plied its discoveries to all sciences

Although no man has ever been
submitted to the intense neutron
