Show mm V" PAGE-IOSvSSSSn-f SUNDAY HERALD 'Gl Joe' Delights Large Audience Ernie Pyle's "Story of GI Joe," the new Lester Cowan - United Artists screen production which glorifies the plain American infantry in-fantry soldier, is now delighting Paramqunt theatergoers. Starring Burgess Meredith as Ernie Pyle,, "Story of Gl Joe" has a love story in the background, yet only two women have featured feat-ured roles in the film. When Producer Cowan began work on the screen version of "Joe", he decided that here was an opportunity to weave in the romantic angle without making this theme too obvious. He was, he said, proceeding on the theory that what's in a man's mind during an emotional experience experi-ence is frequently more profound and .dramatic and compelling than any' story action. Here, it was decided, de-cided, the love Interest would be taken care of through the medium medi-um of symbols or by what Mr. Cowan calls the "intangibles." In screening this picture, the producer made but two concessions conces-sions to what might pass for realism real-ism in the minds of the audience. He did insert the scene in which a love-starved Brooklyn -Yank en-i "Frisco Sal" Teems With Life, Color "Frisco Sal" is in town and if ever there was a girl-or i movie worth making a date to see. It's "Frisco Sal," according to reports from theatergoers who have already al-ready caught the picture at the Strand theater. Starring in the picture currently current-ly playing are Susanna Foster as Sal, and'Turhan Bey and Alan Curtis. It's fast - moving, interesting story is Jtold against the colorful background of the Barbary coast in the gusty, lusty Nineties.
