It is bird to estimate how manj
people of German descent are to.
tbe Fresno area., Ensslln said,
because .most of them just want
to be considered Americans,
"due to tbe wars." But a German group for all ages calk.
Frohslnn meets about once a
month In Fresno to participate
In programs related to German
culture.
Ensslln said voice used to be
as Important to the German
people as football Is to Americans. And even though they now
bare soccer, singing still tu
much attraction for tbem.
Mark Twain described the expressiveness of the German
language in tbelr songs by saying,
"There are German songs wtden
ean make a stranger to the language cry."
And Ensslln quoted Beethoven,
"Be who has gained an understanding of my music must become free of all the misery which
all otters
lift."

been fleeing the police and was desperate  tor a dark place to hide.   But
even then I would have been tempted
to turn myself in and risk prosecution
rattier than death bv boredom.
I know that by broadcasting this neg-
auve opinion of a highly praised film
about women 1 risk being eha..ed with
male elitism of the most pompous kind.

"Julia" is up tor best picture. It
deserves instead the award for best
buggery ot good material.
Tha original story by Lillian Hell-
roan is the stuff classics are made of:
sensitive but pot sentimental, tense but
never melodramatic.
Hellman produced an Intriguing narrative outline, ripe for grafting to the
screen, and two Intriguing heroines, also
ripe for adept Interpretation.
The movie adheres to the basic scheme
of action described in the book, but
the leading characters never happen,
never live on screen, and what could
outline.
Tha character ol
Vanessa Redgrave is given too little
time on tbe screen and Utile of substance to say when she Is. Lillian
fails mostly because of a botched performance by Jane Fonda.
Much of the fault for this belongs
to the scriptwriter, Alvln Sergeant,
who Is also up for an award. In neither
portrayal is the viewer gtven^ enough
Information to form a, rounded" vision
of the character.
About Julia we get cold facts:   she
attends Oxford, and we learn of her
Intelligence:  she goes  to Zurich for
training, and a
bltlon; she has a humanitarian <
But she never has an opportunity to
display these Qualities on the screen
as emotions the viewer can see. Her
visible persona Is so resolute that she
Vanessa Redgrave, who has proven
her ability in several past roles, Is
never allowed to, act. Her character
Is a distant Ideal, an Inhuman creation
that we see only as a factor of Lillian's own protean personality,
Julia never gains depth as a character because she is never allowed to
betray doubt, never allowed.to waver;
e to think through
