Drama News and Reviews Jackie Robinson Makes Good As a Screen Hero, Too By Jay Carmody Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers is quite a hero on the screen as well as the baseball diamond. It is, truth to tell, the simple sin- cerity of his self-portrait in the film, "The Jackie Robinson Story,” that gives the new picture at the Dupont and Little theaters its dramatic wallop. This Negro who pioneered his race into big league baseball is no actor but he is quite a man. The latter is far more important to the telling of his story on the acreen, for the film produced by Eagle-Lion with the most admir- able of intentions is full of techni- cal limitations. None of these, however, can ob- acure the fact that Jackie lived an adventure that required more of character and courage than it did of athletic skill. There were Negroes before him with batting eyes as sharp, hands as sure and agile, and legs as lightning fast, but they never had Jackie's chal- lenge to meet. "The Jackie Robinson Story,” with Jackie himself as its star, recalls the agonized steps that led to his leap over one of the highest walls of prejudice. There is a documentary drama in this that lies beyond destruction by the artificialities of the production in which even the baseball sequences are frequently synthetic looking.' * * * * Robinson's feats as a Dodger, including a most valuable player award, have dimmed memory of how he came to his present pres- tige. Eagle-Lion was vividly right in deciding this was far too good a story to be lost in today's cheers for Jackie’s fame. Co-hero of the script by Law- rence Taylor, and very properly, is Branch Rickey, general manager of the Dodgers. This is the man who not only gave Robinson his chance, but the stoical inspiration to stick it out against insuffer- able odds. Minor Watson’s por- trait of Rickey is another honest one. It presents him as a Christian gentleman, but one who is neither to the extent of tolerating a los- ing baseball team. He figures that helping Robin- aon win the prejudice fight is a sound way to help the Dodgers win pennants. * * * * "The Jackie Robinson Story” is full of close-ups of prejudice’s angry face: of brutal baseball fans, of players who object to playing with Negroes, of conven- tional club executives who resent Rickey’s upsetting of the game’s bigoted code. In the center of each of these stands Jackie— warned to win his way with si- lence, dignity, turning the other cheek and proving himself a bet- ter player and a better man than the other fellow. The falsely heroic note is avoided in the straight-forward, simple performance of Robinson himself. Although he actually is FSlrr*™, SEA GRILL 1907 E ST N.W. 1921 E ST. N.W.

Green is a sometimes too painstaking recall of the details of Jackie’s career. Picking up Jackie as a football star at U.C.L.A., the film has a lot to say about the Negro athlete in general as well as its hero in par- ticlar. It shows how Robinson escapes the fate of his older brother. Mack, also a college star who ends up with a street sweeper’s job. It is not much of an escape, but Jackie did catch on with a great colored barn-storming team. Un- til Rickey’s summons came, this meant travel in buses, and eating and sleeping in them in segre- gated areas; it meant pinch-pen- ny pay for brilliant performance; playing before scanty crowds and for managements which found few inducements to consideration for their players. Organized baseball, except for its promise for the future, was even worse in its first phases but Robinson had been prepared for this by Rickey. He had to win his welcome and this wras a lot harder than hitting big league pitching. It had its dozens of Jim Crow aspects, some of which the loyal I AMUSEMENTS. «pimrr~ntrr.. -ROT JUST A COMEDY —IT’S A DIPT!

Jackie Robinson Makes Good As a Screen Hero, Too

By Jay Carmody Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers is quite a hero on the screen as

well as the baseball diamond. It is, truth to tell, the simple sin- cerity of his self-portrait in the film, "The Jackie Robinson Story,” that gives the new picture at the Dupont and Little theaters its dramatic wallop.

This Negro who pioneered his race into big league baseball is no actor but he is quite a man. The latter is far more important to the telling of his story on the acreen, for the film produced by Eagle-Lion with the most admir- able of intentions is full of techni- cal limitations.

None of these, however, can ob- acure the fact that Jackie lived an adventure that required more

of character and courage than it did of athletic skill. There were

Negroes before him with batting eyes as sharp, hands as sure and agile, and legs as lightning fast, but they never had Jackie's chal- lenge to meet.

"The Jackie Robinson Story,” with Jackie himself as its star, recalls the agonized steps that led to his leap over one of the highest walls of prejudice. There is a

documentary drama in this that lies beyond destruction by the artificialities of the production in which even the baseball sequences ■

are frequently synthetic looking.' * * * *

Robinson's feats as a Dodger, including a most valuable player award, have dimmed memory of how he came to his present pres- tige. Eagle-Lion was vividly right in deciding this was far too good a story to be lost in today's cheers for Jackie’s fame.

Co-hero of the script by Law- rence Taylor, and very properly, is Branch Rickey, general manager of the Dodgers. This is the man who not only gave Robinson his chance, but the stoical inspiration to stick it out against insuffer- able odds. Minor Watson’s por- trait of Rickey is another honest one. It presents him as a Christian gentleman, but one who is neither to the extent of tolerating a los- ing baseball team.

He figures that helping Robin- aon win the prejudice fight is a sound way to help the Dodgers win pennants.

* * * *

"The Jackie Robinson Story” is full of close-ups of prejudice’s angry face: of brutal baseball fans, of players who object to playing with Negroes, of conven- tional club executives who resent Rickey’s upsetting of the game’s bigoted code. In the center of each of these stands Jackie— warned to win his way with si- lence, dignity, turning the other cheek and proving himself a bet- ter player and a better man than the other fellow.

The falsely heroic note is avoided in the straight-forward, simple performance of Robinson himself. Although he actually is

:in the film. * * * *

The script directed by Alfred E. Green is a sometimes too painstaking recall of the details of Jackie’s career.

Picking up Jackie as a football star at U.C.L.A., the film has a lot to say about the Negro athlete in general as well as its hero in par- ticlar.

It shows how Robinson escapes the fate of his older brother. Mack, also a college star who ends up with a street sweeper’s job. It is not much of an escape, but Jackie did catch on with a great colored barn-storming team. Un- til Rickey’s summons came, this meant travel in buses, and eating and sleeping in them in segre- gated areas; it meant pinch-pen- ny pay for brilliant performance; playing before scanty crowds and for managements which found few inducements to consideration for their players.

Organized baseball, except for its promise for the future, was even worse in its first phases but Robinson had been prepared for this by Rickey. He had to win his welcome and this wras a lot harder than hitting big league pitching. It had its dozens of Jim Crow aspects, some of which the loyal

HIS STORY—Jackie Robinson, the Brooklyn Dodgers’ second baseman, plays himself in "The Jackie Robinson Story,’’ film account of the way he estab- lished himself with dignity as the first Negro in big league baseball. It opened today at the Dupont and Little Theaters.

girl who married him, had to suf- fer with Robinson.

The film’s method of telling these things puts the burden upon Robinson, who is smart enough to know that he is not an actor, and smarter in simply being himself instead of trying to act. It is as winning in its way as his style has been winning on the diamond.

* * * *

Actually, in spite of the fervent work of such players as Watson, Ruby Dee, Louise Beavers and others, "The Jackie Robinson Story” is a triumph of a man’s personal drama over the manner of its presentation.

There is a lot more to its hero than the way he hits, fields, and steals bases as the Dodgers’ sec- ond baseman.

A Horse Named Blue Grass Wins at the Columbia

sure to feel a kindly glow over

"Blue Grass of Kentucky,” a Cine- color treatise on racehorse breed-

"Blue Grass of Kentucky” is the name of a racehorse and the picture is a sort of pretty case history of his life from its begin- ning to Derby Day at Churchill Downs. If you'll just sit still a minute, it goes something like this. The Mclvor Stables 'poor) and the
