Street of Shame (Daiei; Harrison), the last picture completed by the late Kenji (Ugetsu) Mizoguchi, perhaps the most gifted of recent Japanese moviemakers, is a Dickensian diatribe against prostitution. At the time the movie was released, Japan had some 500,000 "flowery-willowy" girls, and the picture is said to have swayed millions to support the stop-prostitution bill that was passed in 1956. In the U.S., where prostitution has seldom been seriously discussed on the screen, audiences will no doubt be stunned by the film's unblinking realism. But they will probably not be startled by the scriptwriter...
Dulles' first ambition was to be a minister. Then his maternal grandfather, John Watson Foster, President Benjamin Harrison's Secretary of State, inspired him to be a diplomat. While still a junior at Princeton, Dulles was taken by his grandfather to the Second Hague Peace Conference in 1907. At that time Grandfather Foster was representing not the U.S. but his law client, the Imperial Government of China-and Dulles' first job was as secretary to the Chinese delegation. Among his duties: riding around in a carriage paying courtesy calls, handing out Chinese visiting cards, going the social...
...corners, shoulders hunched, necktie slightly off-center. He sat down behind a big desk across from a big grandfather clock, surveyed a couple of portraits that he had ordered hung-one of his sideburned grandfather John Watson Foster, U.S. Secretary of State 1892-93 (under President Benjamin Harrison), the other of his uncle Robert Lansing, U.S. Secretary of State 1915-20 (Woodrow Wilson). On a small table within reach of his swivel chair, he laid out three books that through decades of international law and diplomacy he had rarely been without. The books: Stalin's Problems of Leninism...
...show selects five as master form givers-the late Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto. Of the second generation, eight are singled out as leaders: Architects Marcel Breuer, Wallace K. Harrison, Philip C. Johnson, Richard J. Neutra, Eero Saarinen, Edward D. Stone, Engineer R. Buckminster Fuller, and the firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Reviewing the past, assessing the present, and eying the future, the show leads to two major conclusions: 1) modern architecture has now clearly swept its early Beaux Arts enemies from the battlefield; 2) its architects, secure in their conquest...
Last week Ed Ragsdale announced his retirement. G.M. handed his job to Edward Dumas Rollert, 47, boss of its Harrison Radiator Division at Lockport, N.Y. Like Ragsdale, Engineer Rollert moved up via manufacturing instead of sales. He joined G.M. out of Purdue ('33), rose in the AC Spark Plug Division as metallurgist, chief tool-and-die designer, assistant works manager. During the Korean war he managed the Kansas City, Kans., Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac plant, made his mark by converting it into G.M.'s first dual-purpose plant, turning out cars and F-84F Thunderstreak jet fighters...
