It has been numbered among the classics labeled “too difficult to handle.” Only recently Stanley Kramer, head of Screen Plays, Inc decided to take his courage in his hands and transfer this remarkably tough, vital story to the screen, with Kirk Douglas in the title role, Arthur Kennedy in the role of his crippled brother, Connie, and Marilyn Max- | well, Ruth Roman and Lola All- }lv sht as the three women in his |life. United Artists is releasing the | film which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre. Tensely emotional and cruelly | realistic, “Champion” tells the story of Midge Kelly, handsome and ruthless, a king among fighters and a wrecker of other peoples’ lives, in his unrelenting drive to the top. | The three women in his life, the men who pluck him virtually from the gutter and raise him to fame |and fortune, are left forever with the sordid bruises caused by con- tact with this idol of an adoring | publie. | carl Foreman wrote the screen | play for ‘“Champion,” with Mark ' Robson directing. Robert Stillman P |served as associate producer, Ivan | Volkman as assistant director. | ! The three beautiful female leads wore clothes designed by Adele Par- menter, one of Hollywood’s top fashion designers. As for the completely realistic fight sequences, former welterweight |champ Mushy Callaghan was |brought in by Producer Kramer to see that all details were carefully worked out befoe screening took place. He also trained star Kirk Douglas. | BERLIN — Soviet-ruled Germany holds its first big election tomorrow, but there’s no speculating on the results.

Utilization of the Army weather services at the Oscoda, Mich., Army Air Base proved invaluable during the shooting of the Technicolor special, “Fighter Squadron.” Hourly weather data indicated the type of clouds moving in the direct area. Tn this way, director Raoul Walsh was able to take advantage of the clouds | which appeared on many occasions. To facilitate communications be- tween ground troops, crews and air- craft overhead, a walkie-talkie radio | system connecting all units was de- vised which enabled the director to call any or all of his groups.
