Admiral Robert B. Carney, Chief of Naval Operations, took a flyer into the realm of psychological warfare and gave a Chicago audience his prescription for U.S. relations with oppressed millions behind the Iron Curtain. As authors of the greatest of all revolutions, Carney suggested, Americans are singularly well equipped to preach revolt. Asked the admiral: "Why can't we be the salesmen of human revolt, 'which demonstratively has produced freedom for the individual and . . . standards of life heretofore unknown...

Josette Day's performance as Beauty scores the danger larking in an overdose of horror. The plot demands that the heroinc ignore self-opening doors, living statuary and arms that project through the wall to hold candelabra. Furthermore, she must recognize the pure soul of the Beast shining through a hair-matted body and lighting a vaguely feline and totally grotesque face (superb make-up, this). Well, the actress does not live...
