PAPY ANNOUNCES (Continued from Page One) the citizens better than the busi- ness form of government known as the commission-manager.” Mayor C. B. Harvey, today said simply: “There is really no ‘question as to the respective mer- its of the two forms of govern- ment. A throw-back to the mayor- council form will make the whole thing go back into politics.” The present form of government was initiated in 1945 after many years of operation under the councilmatic form when a com- mittee of citizens wrote the city charter now in use, which Papy pushed through the legislature. Under the system then in use, the council was made up of seven councilmen, each responsible for a separate sphere of the municipal operation. No further information was made available today although Papy ie hearing are highway as & speedway. The Navy is set- a Shore Patrol Station on i-imear future. Citizen Staff Phoot. Maid’s Night Out | By RAYMER “RUBY GENTRY” Carlos, Theatre Jennifer Jones out-slinks Bette Davis and swings as undulating {a walk as Marilyn Monroe in this startling story of the backwoods Carolina girl who knew what she wanted but didn’t get him. eX- cept on temporary basis. And what she wants in the story is big adonis, Charlton Heston, who | could be nicknamed ‘Shark! Mouth.” Supporting male actor, Karl Malden turns in another blue rib- bon performance as the rich Carolina blueblood who marries the wild girl from across the track in a secondhand romance, for her heart belongs to Heston. Malden will be remembered as the man who won best supporting laurels of last year in “Street- car Named Desire.” The steaming story is sensa- tional “drugstore novel” drama with plenty of simmering scenes. Jennifer Jones, despite all kid- ding about that Cleopatria walk, is excellent in her tempest;tossed role. She manages to sustain the impression of a sultry but naive at San which opens tonight in Poinciana. girl whose emotions are uncurb- ed, and whose destiny ends in tra, loss. %& jbittersweet “romance _be- twi “the heartless¥jyoung hun- ter, Heston, begins “when they meet at her father’s fishing and hunting camp. Ruby Gentry had. some training through the interest of a Southern gentlewoman, mo- ther of the richest man in town, but she’s essentially a sort of woodlands creature at home with a gun or a fishing line and never quite adjusts to the so-called cul- ture of a small gossipy town. The love interest is pointed up by such uninhibited action as the showing of Heston and Jennifer riding along the border of the ocean in madcap abandon, or embracing with somewhat sadis- tic tendencies on a deerhunt. Then Heston marries a spoiled but wealthy Southern belle to get enough money to reclaim fertile swampland, and Ruby is left to endure the resulting scandal of the jilted girl about whom every- one talks. The narration is done by a doc- tor who is fascinated by the spirited Ruby, A pretty good im- itation of Carolina drawls and ex- | pressions and neat touches of drinkers pouring out a “knock” of corn liquor from a gallon jug held in the crook of the arm, lend authentic accentuation to the locale and mood. Sequence of the death of Gen- try on a sailing craft is well done. The grim climax involving more death in a swamp when Ruby's half-mad kin lets religious fevor get the better of him brings the drama to a forceful close. CHARLES W. LOWE Charles W.
