THURSDAY. JANUARY 24. 1963 allons au cinema Boldness Marks 'Child Is Waiting' By VINCE YOUNG Collegian Reviewer In each of the se /en lively arts there is to be-found an artist who flaunts . conventionality, treads upon the untouched,’ and dares to be bold. For his pains, he is scorned by his fellow “artists." In. Hollywood, such is the case of producer-director Stanley Kra mer. He himself, has 'never won an Academy Award. In fact, most of his films are generally over looked when the Oscars are hand ed out-each spring. In recent years, Kramer has been associated with such classics as “High Noon," “The Defiant Ones,” “On The Beach," “Judg ment at Nuremberg,” and now “A Child Is Waiting.' 1 IN MANY ways this is his best film. Rarely have all departments of film -technique been blended so skillfully: direction, acting, photography, music and all of the 200 odd crafts that combine to form two hours of screen enter tainment. Working from a screenplay by Chicago’s gifted-Abby Mann, Kra mer has produced a touching and disturbing- film about the treat ment of mentally retarded chil dren in various , institutions. The focal point of interest is a 10-year-old - boy - with a mental age of a 5-year-old. He’s brought to a _ hospital . operated by Dr. Matthew Clark (Burt Lancaster), with Jean Hansen (Judy Garland) as a music instructor.

The moral to be gained from these comments taken from true life experiences of typical Penn State students could be stated in the following mannei-. To escape the common cold, stay in bed ... and dream of Miami Beach 1 Froid? Just in case you're wondering, it means cold ... in French, that is. But don’t take my woid for it! Run down to Ethel Meserve’s and check. Ethel ha* the handiest little pocket for eign dictionaries. They’re help ful for study use and so con venient for carrying to that language class you haven’t studied for.
