Louisville's modest Chancery Judge James Garnett has legal power to interpret men's minds. Last week he had to decide about the last testament of Louisville's late Civil Engineer Charles K. Needham. Needham, a sentimental bachelor who died ten years ago at 80, once read Jean Jacques Rousseau's novel Emile, wherein that 18th-Century romantic tried to persuade French mothers to nurse their own children. Persuaded in his turn, Needham bequeathed money for an annual prize ($100 to $200) for the healthiest white Louisville baby nine to 15 months old. "nourished...
...that the vast army of skilled film technicians, the grips and pincers, the cutters and carpenters, are more pertinent to picture production than the overpublicized screwballs behind the big desks.

Losses mounted and Prima was finally...
Slave Ship is not for the squeamish. Its eight reels contain an incredible amount of knifing, jaw-punching, conking on the head, lashing in chains, shooting, slapping and assorted casual brutalities. Sometimes its violence is shrewdly planned and powerful; sometimes, particularly when Director Tay Garnett uses for comedy the same form of physical surprise which a moment earlier he was using for horror, it is inept. But the action is generally lusty and well-integrated. Best minor role: Mickey Rooney as the resolute, bewildered cabin boy whose loyalty veers hazardously between the brutal mate and the romantic skipper...
