f AGE rwo Secrecy Shrouded Film 0f Hamlet B! STUART UNDEILBILL Dunedin: Press Staff Writer IIONDON. Nov .18 ~40?) -8ir Laurence Olivier is still koepinl She wraps of secrecy around his of "Hamlet" but movie-goers lould be able to get a look at it yround the middle 0i 1948. Picture-making is expected to be completed by mid-Deceanber but putting and revision are expected to hold up its release for another months, largely because Olivier e1! will be absent on s stage u:- in Australia. - Critics and fans have had to [ely on publicity handouts for new; of the movies progress, for Olivier has banned visitors to the Two Cities studio at Denham, Buckinghamslure, where he has pent several months trying to karmic: Shakespeare! tragedy to lhc screen as successfully as he lid “Henry V." The latter was in technicolor, but Hamlet is being done in black and white because -to use a uch-quoted Olivier comment - 1 see it as an engraving rather Khan a painting." From information available it appears that the movie will run about 2 1-2 hours. Considerable paring has been necessary. The unIorgettably-named courtlers, Rosencrautz and Guiidcrstern, have been dropped and other play- ers appear only as they are essen- tial to the plot. One of the plays famous solilo- quies, beginning "O_ what a rogue Incl pleasant: slave am l" has been discarded as zion-essentia1 and be- cause it marks the close of an act, Irritable for the stage but inter- rupting the movie's continuity. Speaks Ghost ‘Role Olivier originally planned in play the role of Hamlets ghost ls well as Hamlet living. but he said 31c found on experiment he “iradrrt the majestic dimensions." He spealu the part, which is taken by another actor. Simplicity ls the keynote of sets 1nd costumes, the effort being made to suggest atmosphere ra the: than historical accuracy. A crown and robes do xxiore m por- tray s king, says Olivier, than an exact reproduction of the royal costume of the times. Now 40.

LOIS H0810 (Canadian Press Btu-ff Writer) OITAWA. Doc. l! - (W) -- Csnsda played the most active role she has ever undertaken in the United Nations during the 1M7 session of the General As- sembly in New Yorls. The Ounodisn delegation high- lighted its work with a. 11mg. suc- cessful effort in support of thc plan to partition Palestine into independe ‘ Jewish and Arab states es a solution for the Holy Lend problem. Keynote of the Canadian pu- ticipetion was compromise. 0n partition and several other major issues. the delegation patiently sought to reconcile divergent op- inions and this policy gained ex- ceptional success. At the beginning of the iiuweek session. External Affairs Minister St. Laurent said that support of the United Nations was funda- mental to Canadian foreign policy and that Canada. would fulfil its obligation in that organization. The subsequent session saw this intention demonstrated. with the delegation carrying a heavy bur- 1 den throughout thednefltlllg and g not shirking any responsibility, no matter how onerous it was. The Dominion faced up to prac- l tically every issue with formulated policies. even when some issues at I stake were far remote from any direct Canadian interest. Lengthy Deliberations Canada’: stature in the organ- ization was increased consider- ably by this forthrlght, construct- ive effort in the lengthy delibera- ‘ trons, which began in September and finished at the end of Nov- ember. Mr. St. Laurent led the delega- tion at the start and he was suc- ceeded by Justice Minister Ilsley. ir. his first important ssslgnmem as delegation chief. Senior civil servant represent:- tivo on the delegation was L. B. Pearson, under-secretary of state for external affairs, and it was Mr. Pearson who carried the bail on the Palestine question. His reputation as s skilled diplomat soared as s. result. On s four-power “working group" Mr. Pearson brought Rus- sis and the United States togeth- er on a compromise partition plan and he went on into the 56-minu- ber Palestine committee to help push the scheme through. But as Mr. fisley told the es- secnbly before the final vote, Cun- ada found many faults in the plan. She voted for it, however, be- cause it. was the best of unet- tractive alternatives and she felt the U. N. had to act on this vital problem. Important Compromise Another important contribution which the Canadian delegation made was on the "war-monger- lng“ issue. sponsored by Russia. Alfie: n. lengthy and violent de- bate. Canada came up with s compromise proposal. as a substi- tute for the vitriolic Russian res- oiutlon. Australia. and France joined with Canada in presenting the new resolution. which condemned “war-nwngering", but also urged member states to "pence-meager." This resolution won the unanimous- approval of the assembly sud also pisoeted the minim bloc. Om other ruler 1mm. the Osa- sdinu delegation participated in debates and only once abstained on a vote.

Fight Cancer In Colleges wsslumcmn -- The war on cancer now is being fought in the college classrooms. Demanded by Students Medical students are demanding, and schools are providing, more training in the dread disease. Sev- eral dental schools also hope to offer cancer courses soon.
