We would like to report that although our fair city may be lacking leadership, culture, granulated sugar and a sense
of humor, it is definitely not hurting for joggers. The government might consider dehydrating them, (if they don’t
dehydrate themselves first), sacking them in burlap bags and declaring the joggers a surplus commodity. Or so it
seems from our careful observations at the Downtown YMCA’s Turkey Trot, an annual eight-mile outing held each
Thanksgiving Day at White Rock Lake. This year our man finished just out of the money, at 402nd.
We discovered that our city’s joggers dress resplendently. They wear tailored jogging outfits with matching tops and
bottoms, often in blue, with letters like “USA” sewn on the back and patches from places like the Poughkeepsie
Marathon. Our man wore baggy old blue sweatpants and a Rocky Mountain College (Billings, Montana) sweatshirt,
undoubtedly a factor contributing to his dismal showing.
We did, however, manage to glean one political nugget from among our fashion notes. City Councilman Charles Terrell,
flaunting his svelte new physique, must be running for higher office. Terrell showed up wearing purple gym shorts.
Anybody who wears purple gym shorts when it’s 40 degrees outside must be running for something.
We also noted that despite all the remarkable track outfits sported by our city’s joggers, few among them know how
to run a strategic race. Much like a good chess match, foot racing demands a little psychology if one is to be
successful. While many broke from the starting line like mechanical hares, only to fall back later, our man started
445th, out of 450 contestants. During the next hour and twenty minutes, he demoralized 43 opponents by passing them
– probably showing the best kick of the day.
So take heart this winter, knowing that in case of another gasoline shortage, our city is blessed with at least 450
lean bellies who can run to work each day and man the city’s watch-towers. All we have to offer them is blood, sweat
and a Turkey Trot patch.
The show was over, the cast joined hands and took their first bow to warm applause. A lady in front of us in the
middle of the audience stood and applauded vigorously. Gradually, falteringly, one by one, the rest of the audience
rose to their feet. It was not a true standing ovation, no spontaneous surge en masse to the feet. But in its own
way it may have been the most sincere ovation in the city this year.
The show was Of Mice And Men, produced in conjunction with Theatre SMU in a two-week warm-up for its opening
later on Broadway. It was a rare cooperative effort between university and professional theater. It was perhaps that
effort, rather than the show itself, which put the crowd on its feet. Rather than a “Bravo,” it was a “Thank You.”
Thank you for bringing a top-flight, Broadway-caliber production to a Dallas stage. Thank you for bringing us a star
of the magnitude of James Earl Jones in a memorable performance. And most of all, thank you for letting us
see it first. For once we’ve not been filled before curtain time with pre-conceived notions as handed
down by the circle of New York critics. For once we could be touched by the excitement of the unknown. For once we
could pass our own judgements. We applauded the freshness, the newness, the firstness.
Thank you, SMU. Eat your hearts out, New York City.

prepare for its defense. Directed and produced by Louis De Rochemont for the March of Time and utilizing
nonprofessional actors, newsreel shots, and scenes from the Nazi film Feuertaufe, an account of the German
invasion of Poland.
Dec. 28: Citizen Kane (U.S. 1941) In spite of what Pauline Kael says, it’s still pretty good. Directed by and
starring Orson Welles, with screenplay by Herman Mankiewicz. Featuring Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Dorothy
Comingore, Everett Sloane, Ray Collins, and “Rosebud.”
Jan. 4: Way Down East (U.S. 1920-silent) D.W. Griffith’s Victorian melodrama to end all Victorian melodramas.
Lillian Gish as the country waif led astray by city slicker Lowell Sherman is saved at the last minute by hero
Richard Barthelmess. The climax, filmed on the frozen Connecticut River, is still thrilling.
Jan. 11: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (U.S. 1923-silent) Lon Chaney as Quasimodo, the deformed bellringer of
Notre Dame, in the first and in many ways the best of the several versions of Victor Hugo’s novel. Directed by

Beggars.
Audelia Road Branch. 10045 Audelia Road. Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.
Jan 8: Broken Blossoms (U.S. 1919-silent) This small masterpiece wears better than most of D.W. Griffith’s
more spectacular productions and is one of the classic love stories of the screen, an ill-fated romance between a
Chinese (Richard Barthelmess) and a waif of the streets (Lillian Gish in her greatest screen performance).
Jan. 15: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Germany 1919-silent) Part horror film and part psychological thriller,
this bizarre film is still an eyefull, with its distorted expressionistic sets and the grimly stylized acting of
Werner Krauss as the doctor and Conrad Veidt as the murderous somnambulist Cesare.
Park Forest Branch. 3421 Forest Lane. Saturdays at 2:30 p.m.
Jan. 11: The Phantom of the Opera. (U.S. 1925-silent) Perhaps the most famous and still one of the best of

Paris Opera.
Polk-Wisdom Branch. 7151 Library Lane. Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
Jan. 4: The Mark of Zorro (U.S. 1920-silentl Douglas Fairbanks in his first swashbuckling role, the Robin

the beginnings of labor reform in Italy in the 1880’s. Nominated for an Academy Award and winner of the Grand Prize
at the Buenos Aires Film Festival.
Jan. 15: High Noon (U.S. 1952) Frequently overrated and too simple-minded to be taken as seriously as it once
was, this is still, within its limits, an effective western of the marshal-against-the-town genre. With Gary Cooper,
Grace Kelly, Katy Jurado, Lon Chaney Jr., Thomas Mitchell, Otto Kru-ger, and Lloyd Bridges.
Granada Theatre 3524 Greenville. Dallas (821-2563).
