votion turns to selfish love.
An all-Negro cast including Rex Ingram and Marc Connelly star in “Green Pastures" which will be shown Dec. 13.
This film is a moving and tender revelation of a Negro's faith and religious beliefs. It possesses a mood that is found in the best of Negro spirituals.
Tickets for today’s picture and the remaining two may be purchased at the University Ticket Office, from the department of cinema on 659 West 35th Street, or at the door. Price is $3.
Previous motion pictures included "God Needs Men," “I’d Climb the Highest Mountain," "Road to Heaven," "Lost Horizon," "Monsieur Vincent,” "Come to the Stables," and “Diary of a Country Priest.”
The pioneering efforts of the SC-directed muscular dystrophy center at Good Hope Clinic promises much hope for victims, according to Dr. Elizabeth Austin, director of the center.
Tiie MD clinic, located at 1241 Shatto Street, began
operation last year under the di- -—
rection of the School of Medicine with a $13,275 grant from the local MD chapter.
More than B59 patient treatments were given last yeai', and the center expects that this number will be doubled next year. Dr. Austin said patients Irom all over the United States and Canada travel to the clinic for treatments.
“Muscular dystrophy ia a chronic and progressive disease that affects the muscles,’’ explained Dr. Austin. "In particular, it attacks children and may cripple them for life.”
Inherited Maybe
It Is possible that the disease may be inherited, said Dr. Austin, because it frequently shows up at birth. But in other cases It seems "to come out of the blue” as victims develop the disease later in life.
Dr. Austin said the clinic cannot cure the disease. But much can be done to prevent the sprpad of muscular dystrophy and to prevent possible deformity.
Bart Lytton, president of the Los Angelos County Chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, recently announced plans for enlargement of the clinic.
Funds are being allocated tc operate the clinic during 1956, according to Lytton, and home treatments and therapy will be extended outlying areas. This In-
clude San Fernando Valley, Pomona, Long Beach, and East Lo* Angelas.
Dr. Austin, who Is also director of the physical medicine and rehabilitation at General Hospital, said that other centers may be established in surrounding communities. Much of this expansion would be based on research and results provided by the Good Hope Clinic.
A person reporting into the clinic is first given a diagnosis. . "We give him not only a physical examination but also have him examined by all the other doctors in the clinic to make sure he has muscular dystrophy,” said Dr. Austin.
After diagnosis, the clinic arranges for treatment and determines what services to provide the patient.
Counseling Too
These services include providing therapy and special devices such as wheel chairs, lifts, braces, and corrective shoes. General medical cane is provided as well as counseling for families of patients to help them manage the problems related to the chronic illness.
“These patients need a lot of care. Th*>re is much that can be done by both the doctors and fhe families of victims to help the patients adjust themselves to community living,” said Dr. Austin.
Novel on Alcoholism Noon Readings Topic
to Return to Owners
Alcoholic fumes creating an explosive anger” was Richard A. Condon's Interpretation of Carson MacCullers novel “The Domestic Dilemma" in the English Department’s weekly Noon Readings yesterday.
The novel depleted the change effected in a family due to the alcoholism of the housewife. Moving from the “idle warmth of a small southern town in Alabama to the lonely, friendlessness of New York” was blamed for her condition.
Condon, instructor in English, explained that the Southern novelist is best known for her play "A Member of tbe Wedding" and the novel “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter."
The near-capacity audience In 129 FH was delighted with a series of anecdotes. Pulling the baby’s tooth, decorating the Christmas tree, and struggling to give the children their baths were all the tasks of father when mother was “in that condition.”
"Alcoholism had never seemed a problem to the family; Just a bothersome expense.” But that was before they moved to the Big City and thp mother gave up liquort to adopt beer guzzling.
Latent with anxiety and undefined disaster, the drama of the story was heightened by the underplayed reading of Condon.
Fifth speaker in this year'a English department weekly noon readings, Condon's readings will lie followed by future readings on Dylan Thomas and Alexander Pope.
Dr. Aerol Arnold will discuss the former on Dec. 12, followed by Dr. Walter H. Crittenden who will discuss Pope on Jan. 9.
