...Long, Hot Summer (20th Century-Fox) bears only a remote resemblance to the William Faulkner tales on which it is based (The Hamlet, Barn Burning). The Hamlet, in which Author Faulkner aired the moral midden of Yoknapatawpha County in an ecstasy of disgust, is particularly strong stuff, and Producer Jerry Wald clearly had to clean up his subject for the screen. In the process, unfortunately, he converted Faulkner's county into a community almost as corny as Al Capp's Dogpatch, and reduced all the poetry of degradation to the customary commercial serving of fresh...
...first of all a wife; she withdrew into the background, managed her husband's affairs, boosted his ego, heralded his triumphs. Hofmann recalls that "she gave in all the time. She was very feminine." The childless Pollocks bought a house in East Hampton, L.I., and he made the barn into his studio. But Lee had her own studio in the house and never stopped painting. Says she: "I respected and understood his painting as he did mine. There was never any cause for rivalry." In 1954 Pollock began to drink more and more, paint less and less...

Though a great majority (perhaps 85%) still work mostly on livestock-swine, sheep, cattle, horses...
Died. Jesse Louis Lasky, 77. pioneer moviemaker who cranked out (in 1914) Hollywood's first feature-length film (The Squaw Man) in a barn studio; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills. After his first movie venture (with a brother-in-law, Glove Salesman Samuel Goldfish, now Goldwyn. and a young playwright named Cecil B. DeMille), Lasky joined forces (in 1916) with Adolph Zukor to form the Famous Players-Lasky Corp., which evolved into Paramount Pictures...
