Mr. Lamberton, a math major and junior from Los Angeles, competed against John Groth Jr. of New York without any real campaigning prior to the elections due to unexpected personal matters. Mr. L a m b e r t o n ' s most stressed issue was to try to destroy the present student apathy in general, and to improve the newly established IOC (Inter Organization Council) which will control student activities here on campus. The results of the other elections were as follows: James Melby, from Minnesota, elected as Executive Vice-President, emphasized the importance of student participant in SBG activities. The new Vice-President of Academic Affairs and Student Welfare was won by Charmalne Letoumeau without headstrong competition, Judy Joiner acclaimed her new position as the new Vice-President ci Social and Cultural Affairs. Jack Levesque was nominated and confirmed his position as Vice-President of Student Publications, and Joel Sil- By: Jock Lamberton berstein took on his newly acclaimed position as Vice-President of Athletic Affairs. The easiest position won was that of the Business Manager, where Francis Kaye Peacock was elected unanimously as he was the only candidate for the position. The most factious debate for the position of female head senior, starting with four candidates, all incoming juniors. After two run-offs, Charmine Letoumeau and Nancy Pollock remained on the ballot. In the climax Nancy Pollock came off with a surprising lead, and took victory as the new femait htaii senior. And as for the male head senior, Larry Puthoff took his position with a three-to-one lead over Mike Tuccelli. Joseph Benedetto, Class of 1970, of New Orleans, Louisiana was elected Editor-in-Chief of the 1969-1970 Buff and Blue at the annual election. Also chosen were fellow 70'er, Marianne Sasseen of Fordland, Missouri as Literary Editor, and Byron Cantrell, '71, of Atlanta, Georgia as Business Manager. Editor Benedetto, a veteran correspondent, has served the Bulf and Blue as a writer, columnist, and Sports Editor over the past three years. Pretty brunette Marianne Sasseen, the new Literary Editor, has been a reporter and Exchange Editor of the Buff and Blue.

Alumni, board members, friends, faculty, students and distinguished guests were among those participating in the afternoon event. There were flag bearers who carried flags representing their variousstates ing their various states and countries, who posted them around the back of the speaking platform near the statue. A total of 570 people, 73 different graduating classes of Gallaudet College, 11 organizations, 20 campus groups, and 16 alumni chapters of the college contributed a toirai amount of $28,456.62 to the fund drive lor the EMG statue initiated and carried out by the Gallaudet College Alumni Association. The statue costs $25,000 and the remainder of the money will be used for landscaping and installing benches around the site of the statue. The bronze statue sculptured by Pietro Lazzari is seven feet tall and is mounted on a pink Texas granite base four feet tall. It is located on the mall behind Chapel Hall and between Ely Hall and the Edward Miner Gallaudet Memorial Library. The first group statue of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and his first pupil, Alice Cogswell, sculptured by Daniel Chester French who did the Lincoln Memorial statue, is located in front of Chapel Hall, now an official national landmark, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet founded the first permanent public school in America at West Hartford, Connecticut. It is now called the American School for the Deaf. According to official records, it is believed that this is the only college in this country to have statues of both father and son on its campus. Both statues are the gifts of the deaf people of America and their friends. ENS and, through it, founded several institutions to uplift the education of the deaf. The plaque was accepted by Dr. Antonio Catalona of the Italian Embassy on behalf of the Magarotto family. The Phi Kappa Zeta Sorority's "Woman of the Year" award was conferred on Miss Nanette Fabray. It was presented on the basis of her outstanding service and devotion in contributing to the welfare of the deaf.

The famous actress' telegram acknowledging the award was read by Joyanne Rasmus. Dr. Eistad is shown making the acceptance speech on behalf of the college during the historic occosion. Pietro Lazzari, a native of RoiTie, Italy, aiid a resident of Washington, D.C, was selected to do the statue sculpture work by the Gallaudet Alumni Association, not because of his talent but also because of his sincere interest In deaf people. His only child, Nina Maria, is deaf and is a native of Washington, D.C. She graduated from the Kendall School for the Deaf, and also received her bachelor of Arts degree here in 1967. She is now a teacher of art at the Nebraska School for the Deaf at Omaha. Dr. David Peikoff, who is immediate past president of the Gallaudet College Alumni Association, served as the master of ceremonies at the unveiling ceremony. Dr. Elizabeth Benson, college dean of women, served as an interpreter. Francis C. Higgins, associate professor of chemistry, gave the invocation. After the invocation Dr. Peikoff in his opening remarks commented upon the historic occasion, "...our focus of Interest on this special occasion is on Edward Miner Gallaudet who battled all his life to compel a skeptic world to admit that in a democracy like America the deaf do form a precious part Mr, James Orman was named "Alumnus of the Year" by the Kappa Gamma Fraternity for his great contribution to the deaf. He is the president of the Gallaudet College Alumni Association and the principal of the Illinois School for the Deaf.

Orman, president of the Gallaudet College Alumni Association officially presented the Pietro Lazzari statue of Edward Miner Gallaudet to the college during a formal ceremony. In his presentation speech, he concluded, "May it speak, more adequately and tangibly than words can, our sense of pride in alma mater and gratitude to Edward Miner Gallaudet, today and through years to come." The presentation address of Dr. Orman, was followed by acceeptance speeches given by Mr. George E. Muth, chairman of the college board of directors, and Dr. Leonard M. Elstad, college president. Mr. Muth spoke on behalf of the board and Dr. Elstad on behalf of the college. In reminiscing how Gallaudet College came into existence. Dr. Elstad said, "Dr. Gallaudet was signally effective in interesting Congress in providing funds for the establishment of the college. This generous support has been continued year after year.

P a c t o "And the likeness of the firma ment upon the bands of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above," thus quoting from the Bible, James Mosely, America's foremost ex pert on flying saucers, began his extemporaneous lecture to a capacity crowd of students, faculty members and alumni, who came to hear him for a myriad of reasons, be they curiosity, skepticism, or a fascination for things mysterious, Dr, H oward Roy, host of the evening program and chairman of the lecture sevles, introduced the speaker and also commended the students for their enthusiastic response and patronage to all the lectures presented so far, Moseley titillated the audience' imagination with his accounts of the appearance of imidentified flying objects, dating from bibli cal times up to the present. H e cited documented cases backed by scientific evaluation and obser vation of UFO's spotted all over the United States. These objects have also been sighted and tracked in radar from other parts of the world, like Africa, South America, France and Italy, A 30second film clip of a UFO taken by one John Sheets of West Virginia, who was able to take the picture by accident, was shown during the latter part of the lecture. After his speech, Moseley answered questions from the audience who kept him on his toes with their seemingly endless queries. Interesting highlights of the lec ture: UFO's are not all roundshaped; they come in various forms, cigarshaped or conical. By E. Sambo The Junior National Associa tion of the Deaf is currently sponsoring an educational pro gram known as the Deaf Stu dent Exchange Program, The purpose of this program is to exchange deaf students among the various residential schools for the deaf in the nation with a view to establishing close per sonal association between the in dividual deaf students as well as fostering understanding and friendship among them. The program is also hoped to pro vide the exchange students with an atmosphere where they will learn to develop understanding and respect and mutual aware ness of different cultures and ways of life. These are some of life's essential factors which are generally unknown to the deaf, especially those who have been confined to their home in stitutions most of their early life where outside influence is little felt. Appearance of these objects mostly In rural areas and isolated places, never in cities, always cause a power failure. They are not secret experiments of the Air Force though it is in possession of substantial knowledge of the Saucer Mystique. UFO's have been sighted by men trained to investigate; e.g., pilots, astro nauts, astronomers. They are not creations of demented minds, nor people suffering from ennui. In an exclusive interview which Mr, Moseley granted to this writer, he admitted that his in terest in flying saucers began as a hobby, out of intellectual curiosity and inclination. A born adventurer, he stayed at Princeton for only two years, then traveled extensively to all parts of the world to hunt for buried treasures, be they on land, sea or mountains. This penchant for adventure and mystery led him to his untiring search to unveil the aura sur rounding UFO's. H e founded S.A.U.C.E.R.S. (The Saucer and Unexplained Clestial Events Re search Society) and is editor of Saucer News. Currently serving as chairman of New York's First Flying Saucer Convention, the Congress of Scientific Ufologists, he also writes to such magazines as Argosy and Fate. He is a popular lecturer for engineers and scientists, as well as for colleges and universities. As a personal touch, the 37year old bespectacled saucer expert added that he is the father of five children, enough to keep him in orbit: Rev, Pokorny, and Mr, Hoemann, Lutheran chaplains and psychology instracters, served as interpreters. Participants are expected to spend one academic semester in another residential school where they are offered all the benefits of academic pursuit which they have enjoyed in their own institutions. This, of course, will be done within the scope of the students' academic ability. FOREIGN STUDENTS SPONSOR BLOODMOBILE Ninetyseven persons presented themselves as blood donors for the Bloodmobile project sponsored by the Foreign Students Club in the Student Union Lounge last March 28. Leadingtheproject were head nurse Mrs, Bothmer and Dr, J.S. Studenbord, Of the ninetyseven persons donating, nine were turned down because of some illness such as hepatitis, jaundice, and malaria. However a total of eightyeight pints of blood were drawn. As a reward for their donation, refresh ments were served. When asked about the success of the project, Mrs, Bothmer, head nurse, replied, "We came with the staff to do at least 125," Thus, this year's project appears to have been only a moderate success. The core of the program is basically residential school ex perience. Becoming part of a school family involves sharing its daytoday existance; its r e lationships, its spirit, its emotions, its chores, its regula tions and its activities and events. Since institutional activities vary from school to school, the ex change students are expected to ieam to adjust to new environ ments and adapt to new ways of life. This approach will certainly pave the way for col lege adjustment for the deaf students who plan to enter higher educational institutions. Obser vation has shown that many deaf students who enroll at Gallaudet each year come with little or no adaptfve ability, and as such, they usually find it difficult to adjust to college life. This in variably is one of the many fac tors that have contributed to the number of dropouts. The acceptance of the exchange students by the host schools is on voluntary basis; that is: they are not paid for the instruction of the exchange students. Partic ipation eligibility is given to all residential schools for the deaf within the United States that are currently members of the Junior National Association of the Deaf, The criteria for selection of the candidates are numerous, based mainly on the students' sociability, some of which are: natural good manners in dayto day living; liking and sincere in terest in people; ability to con verse spontaneously and openly with others; eagerness to learn from any experience that one meets with enough imagination to appreciate new experiences; enjoying study; acceptance of criticism and advice; sense of Deaf students g Other specific qualifications for candidacy are: each candidate must be a member of the J r . NAD; he must be attending a residential school for the deaf that is willing to receive an ex change student from another state; he must be at least 16 years old by February of the exchange year; must have one more year of schooling after the exchange semester; must have excellent health; must have high academic standing with college potential. H e or his parents must be ready to bear transport ex penses to and from the host school. The final decision of the candidate's eligibility will be made by the executive board of the J r . NAD. (ACP)—The H enderson Or acle, H enderson State College, Arkadelphia, Ark, Protest through responsibility is the best way to express opinions. This can be done at the conference table or by " a peaceful protest of some sort," suggested an edi torial in the H enderson Oracle, Admittedly this is difficult to accomplish because neither stu dents nor administrators realize the need for It, However, it is much better than violence or "that other kind of protest often faced by small collegesApathy," Apathy is the kind of protest most people prefer, however, it is the most dangerous because it breeds ac ceptance of anything and anything postpones change. Only responsible student ac tion can provide the key to un lock the door that will Ifead to law and order. There are two parts to the key. The admini stration holds one half and the students hold the other. P r o gress can be made only when the two get together, ■Qlctt Commattrtmcttts of rtcnttfilitp Fees are not charged to either the exchange students or the participating schools. The only costs involved are: transportation and meals to and from the home school and the host school; per sonal allowance; fees or insur ance for any interscholastic athletic activities that the students may participate, deposit to cover any unusual expenses usually required of the regular students of the host school. These minor expenses may be shared among the candidates and their families, their home schools or whatever organizations that sponsor their exchange. Medical expenses are paid by the host school at a. limited basis. Any such expenses beyond that limit are to be paid by the parents or the sponsors. Applications for this exchange program should be made only through the Junior National Association of the Deaf. The final selection for the school program is made by the J r . NAD based on a nationwide basis. It cannot, however give any assurance that each candidate is eligible for acceptance.

On Tursday evening at Gallaudet we did not see the experience of the deaf transformed into art, but the inevitable failure of just such conventional theater. We question the choice of the play "The Critic". Theeffectiveness of verbal intricacies In Restoration drama depends on speed. The presence of narrators kills the pace. This particular play, with its audial jokes, i.e. the Alleluia Chorus, a band of travelling musicians, and a dance to music, seems to us irrelevent to the deaf, even insulting. We question the use of poetry by a threater for the deaf. When you lose the spoken word, you lose, along with the rhythm, the aural harmony and dissonance, the poem itself. Perhaps the company thought they were interpreting the p o e m - a s Martha Graham interprets a poem through dance. What she interprets, however, is the sensation of the poem. She translate it into the concrete language of the body. The undefined. The climax of the Japanese play took place upstage left, and the business with hatchet and skull remains unclear. People drifting onstage, apparently without p u r p o s e , distracted our attention from the speaker during the poetry readings. Most important was the fact that narrators and actors Interracted on equal terms, as If the fact of their difference was not significant. If the deaf and the hearing exist on equal terms, what is the point of a Theater of the Deaf? The Theater we saw at Gallaudent was not designed to be good conventional drama nor, as far as we could determine, drama designed for those who cannot her. We are still waiting to see a theater for the deaf. Yours truly, Elizabeth Lawder P.S. A deaf friend could not understand the skull part of the Japanese play, and she took the band of travelling musicians in "The Critic" to be dancers. When I was in the Supervisor's office at Ely Hall a few days ago, I saw something I hoped never to see here at Gallaudet. The beginnings of- a possible nightmare.

The theory appears to be that It these signs are placed around the campus the grass will r e main for a longer period of time! I doubt this very much. Furthermore besides adding a tremendous eyesore to our campus, they will increase the work of the gardeners who must remove them in order to trim the few hardy fibers.

The purpose ol the Careers Seminar is to oiler a broader perspective In the choice ol careers to young Gallaudet stu dents. It is hoped to be ol service on a nationwide scope lor the career development needs ol all young deal prolessionals. The President's Committee, as well as l e a d e r s and professional workers among the deal, have been greatly concerned about the extremely narrow vocational choices traditionally allocated to the educated deal youth. For in stance, most Incoming Ireshmen to Gallaudet College, according to Chairman H arold Russell, leel that their prolessional horizon is limited to the same 2 or possibly 3 choices. The com mittee also leels that, as able and educated young Americanos, they should begin thinking and preparing for careers in a much wider spectrum ol prolessions. A group ol representatives ol different industries, private and governmental, including Inter national Business Machines Corporation, the National In dustrial Council, Sears Roebuck and Company, Eastern Air Lines, the National Bank of Washington, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the U.S. Civil Service Commission, and the National Institutes of H ealth were on hand to talk to students and answer any questions students might have concerning their future career plans. Industries represented were Data Procession, Manu facturing, Aeronautic, Retailing, Airline, Banking, Tralllc Man agement, Insurance, Govern ment, and H ealth Prolessions. Each representative had a Gal laudet student Interpreter. The committee had invited a group of representatives from different intustries to acquaint the young people with some basic facts regarding career opportunities and the prerequisites for entrance into various industries. The interpreters were given questionnaires asking who they interpreted for, 11 the repre sentatives were cooperative, and If they have much inlorma tion about the specilic industry.

H e also added that he con sidered deaf people normal people. Another statement from the representative of the Metro politan Life Insurance Co, was that his company looks for people who will 'inish their college ed ucation, and also would prefer them to go in training. This comapny does not require any specific majors and field ol studies. H e stated that deal people really can do many things lor this company except selling insurance because ol com munication problems. — T o c k i e Staff Photo with H elena who came as a repre sentative ol the League ol Human ity to see how the robots were treated.

The Carnival, which was w i d e l y advertised, began with a new entertaining ^ p e a l which added zest to the festive spirit of the occassion. It was the introduction of comedy played by Bro. Ezekiel Sambo, an event never before observed in the past years of the Carnival. Dressed as a clown, carrying an invitation placard, Bro. Sambo entertained the Gallaudet stu dents with jocular plays. The Carnival town opened its gate at 7 p.m. and in no time had it opened that it was so full with people that every one was rubbing shoulders with everyone else. The atmosphere was quite festive. The events that featured the carnival were; baptistry, in troduced during last year's pledge probation, was one of the most exciting games ol the lestival. Bingo, cake walk, circle toss, glass pitch, huckley buck, mice race, also a new introduc tion, penny and nickel toss, guessing game and zoo dip were among the other events.

In the search for individual identity in these days of uncertainty and confusion, many of the students in colleges as well as universities throughout the nation seem to seek a solution in some rearrangement of man's oldest adomment-the hair on his head. To some, their hope for distinction may lie in an unpruned bush of facial foliage, the languid droop of a Fu Manchu, the vigor of a moustache, sideburns, or a few sprouts cultivated in a dramatic splendor along the chin line.

Mrs. Herbold aptly described the gift as "Leonard M. Elstad Rotary Dollars for Overseas Deaf" since the President has made it known widely that he plans to get International Rotarian support for education of foreign deaf who do not enjoy the privilege of higher education as we do In the U.S. In addition, Mrs. Herbold remarked that the Elstads would be given a bound volume of letters from alumni, friends, and national leaders. Letters were read from former President Lyndon B, Johnson and from President Richard M. Nixon. The program came to a close with further remarks from President Elstad on how he and "Mother" would enjoy all these wonderful gifts from a thoughtful and loving alumni. The Thomas S. Marr Award was presented to Rosita Pacto for her outstanding scholastic achievement. The Olaf Hanson and Agatha T. Hanson Service Awards were given to Michael Marzolf and Donna Drake, respectively, for demonstrating the greatest promise of high character and leadership. Donna Drake, Mrs. Jeanette Scheppach, Mary McCray, Bette Hicks and Hartmut Teuber made up the roster for "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities." They were chosen on the basis of outstanding leadership, scholastic achievement, character and service to the college. The Phi Alpha PI, the college honorary society, welcomed Rosita Pacto, Pat Costello, Jerry Jatho, Fred Wallace, Joyce Norwood and Alan Zamochnick Into Its fold. Given Foundation Scholarships were awarded to Rosita Pacto, Jerry Jatho, and Mary Bavister. The coveted Alice M.

He suffered a dedicated life. His life work gave me the Impulse to see a heroic embodiment in monument." Following Mr. Lazzarl's remarks, Miss Bette D. Hicks, a senior and present president of Phi Kappa Zeta Sorority, recited in beautiful sign language the original poem, "On the Edward Miner Gallaudet Statue" which was written for the occasion by Stephen W.

Lankenau, president of the National Association of the Deaf, who remarked, "The Gallaudets, father and son, had an Ingrained respect for the capabilities and the aspirations of the deal—from the most humble to the most talented—as they really are. And they were flexible enough to nurture the capabilities and aspirations without trying to force their own wills on the deaf and their way of life." guests following the excellent meal.

April 24, 1969 The Buff and Blue SPEAKING OUT By A l e x Slappey I believe that sports at Gallaudet College could be improved considerably If a few simple suggestions were followed. In some cases the removal of certain points of fiction could go a long way towards the fielding of a winning team. Often it is not the lack of manpower or ability which hurts us most but rather the lack of a superior sports attitude. Not only do I often see a defeatist attitude here but also an irresponsible attitude. Which makes it harder to get a team to function as a team. One of the keys to sports is team work and in most cases it seems badly lacking in most team sports at Gallaudet, A team must get together and " j e l l " or get to know each other's respective abilities. Team sports were made for groups, not individuals alone, A team player must put his team first and not himself but at Gallaudet it seems there is too much individuality, too many players not willing to sacrifice for the good of the team. What Gallaudet needs more of is team men, players who will sacrifice for the betterment of the team. Too often the major problem, concerns a player who becomes "established" and the coach depends on this player to produce, perhaps the coach even builds the team around him, then the player decide to quit for personal reasons, often cited as unsatisfactory g r a d e s or injuries substained. To be honest I believe that education comes first, but I also know that sports normally do not take up that much time here at Gallaudet and very few boys study In the afternoons when , most practice is done. They generally study at night and some don't study at all! When a player quits he leaves the coach on the spot, since the coach now has to fill the gap, probably with an inexperienced player. After wasting so much time teaching one boy how to play that position. He now has to start all over again, losing valuable time teaching a new boy to play it. This is unfair to the team and the coach. When a player goes out for a sport, he should take Into consideration his subjects, grades, etc., and once he does make the team, he should realize that he now has a r e sponsibility to the team and the college. A quitter is like a deserter and in the armed forces a deserter can be shot. Now I am not saying we should shoot our deserters, heaven forbid, but I am trying to point out that it is not something that should be taken lightly, it hurts the college and the team. Often a player will have an honest reason for quitting, but many times players who do quit not only fail to discuss it with the coach, which I feel is their duty, but don't even give the coach a warning. Rather they simply take off and leave the coach with one player less, 1 have seen it happen too often, perhaps because the players don't have the guts to face the coach, more likely because they have no plausible reason. Another thing I dislike about some athletes here is that too often a player will expect a coach to come up with a " m a g i c " defense to stop some powerful opponent or a solution to a battling stump. Players should remember that the coach is here to teach the players and to give advice and direct them but it is the athletes who must do the playing. The coach can't play for them. No defense, no matter how good, will work if the players don't make it work. The whole idea is for the player to execute and when the players execute the defense works. He must execute by beating his opponent, because if he doesn't the defense doesn't work. Many players blame the coach for a defense that didn't work when the reason is the players themselves failed to execute that defense. In the first game against Howard U,, the Bisons were badly beaten 19-6 as our pitchers had a off day. Howard took advantage of sev eral Gallaudet e r r o r s and sloppy pitching to run up the score. However, the Gaily 9 bounced right back to give D.C. Teachers a lesson, winning 12-2, with a 13 strike-out performance by Lory Kuschmider, who gave up only 2 hits. Then the Bisons had their first home game and after 4 innings it had to be called off due to continued double steal which sent Jeff Lenham home with the winning nm. Next Gallaudet took on a strong Towson team at Baltimore and Bill Andrew got the pitching assignment. Andrew pitched 6 innings of solid ball but Towson got two runs on e r r o r s . Then in the 7th Towson tagged a tired Andrew for two more runs and Alan Ander was sent in as relief. With two out in the 9th inning Gaily's bats finally came alive to produce 4 runs before Towson made the last out at home on the tying run, leaving Gaily the short end of a 5-4 score. The next day Gallaudet's Bisons swept a doubleheader from Bowie State, winning 13-4 and 8-4. Lory Kuschmider pitched the first game and struck out 2 while Joe Anderson TENNIS A N D GOLF fanned 10 in the second game. Gaily played "heads u p " baseball, taking advantage of many Bowie errors. Then the next Saturday Gallaudet split another doubleheader with Bridgewater College. The Bisons lost 5-3 on e r r o r s in spite of some good pitching by Lory Kuschmider and outstanding defensive play by Nick Imme in left field. In the second game Joe Anderson limited the Eagles to 2 runs while Henery Evans tripled to bring in tow runs and Mike Hummel singled to bring in Evans accounting for Gallyls winning run. Nick Imme played an outstanding defensive game, robbing the Eagles of one possible homerun in the first game and two in the second game. Anderson got the last batter out with a runner cai third by making him pop to George Sierra at short and Gaily had a hard earned 3-2 victory.

To catch up, we're going to make a few changes. First, we will arange the movies by listing them under the names oi the theaters that showed them; then we will list movies that they are not showing, but have shown before. That way, the theaters that have shown good movies will get credit for good selections. Why talk about old movies? Because these movies will be shown at local theaters and in your home town during the summer and you can catch them there, that's why. Finally, we will rate the movies. Please keep in mind that the rating are for deaf people and those with severe hearing losses only. We "deafies" can enjoy some movies much more than people who have normal hearing because we can't hear the inane dialogue some movies have. Want an example? Here's one: In the SWEET BODY OF DEBORAH, Carrol Baker is shown in the shower with her new husband on her honeymoon. She tells him (while nude), "you know what I want!" Aren't you glad you missed that? Now for the ratings: but very well made and enjoyable. We saw the great ZERO FOR CONDUCT, and hope this one will measure up. We hereby award this film an EXCELLENT rating. EMBASSY: THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE is a film that we've got to praise. It stars Beryl Reid, who's a gem, in one of the best movies of the year. Film deals with a love triangle in which Miss Reid (Sister George) loses her young lover (Susannah York) to arch rival Coral Browne. This film has one of the most disgusting scenes on film, but the rest of the film is so good that we'll overlook it. This is the best example of a stageplay turned into a better film we've ever seen.
