Linda then . . . and Linda now
Six-year-old Linda Breese
of Columbus, Ohio, has been
crippled from birth. She suf
fered from a birth defect, a
disorder which seriously af
flicts one out of every 16 babies
born in the United States.
When Linda was old enough
to walk, she could get around
only with the aid of steel
braces on her legs. That meant
wearing heavy, ankle - high
shoes which were not very
pretty for a little girl who was
otherwise developing into a
real beauty.
Children with significant
birth defects, known medically
as congenital malformations,
. often face a lifetime of crip
pling. But there was hope in
Linda’s case. In her hometown,
at the Columbus Children’s
Hospital, a new center espe
cially designed to treat birth
defects was set up with the
support of New March of
Dimes funds. It is probably
the world’s first birth defects
treatment and study center.
Linda began a series of sur
gical operations, treatments
and exercises to strengthen the
muscles she still had in her
legs. Today she no longer
needs the braces and can even
ride a tricycle. Though she
still uses crutches, the doctors
at the Columbus center hope
that she may soon be able to
abandon them. Meanwhile,
what delights Linda most is
that, like other little girls, she
can now wear pretty shoes.
The New March of Dimes
campaign in January, i960, is
aimed at three major crippling
diseases, including arthritis
and polio in addition to birth
defects. It is estimated that
one out of every four Ameri
can families is affected by
these disorders. Linda’s prog
ress toward a healthy, normal
life symbolizes the hope held
out by the Nfew March of
Dimes for millions of sufferers
from crippling diseases.

Fabulous Screen
Masterpiece Showing
Here For Christmas
The most monumental film of
all time, Cecil B. DeMille’s pro
duction of “The Ten Command
ments,” a motion picture of rev
erent and massive magnificence,
opens tomorrow at Nomerama
Theater, following widely ac
claimed premiere showings which
garnered world attention. Mighty
in concept, mammoth, in execu
tion and overwhelming in impact,
this costliest and longest work in
screen history is an experience
never to be forgotten. ,
The story of how one man’s
character was forged in the fires
of power, temptation, self-sacri
fice and love, until he was fit to
receive God’s law, lead his people
out of bondage and teach them
to live under the code that became
the fountainhead of three great
religions, the Paramount colossus
is above all a timeless, enthralling
human document of man’s first
struggle for freedom.
Representing man’s right to live
by law on the one hand and tyran
ny on the other, are Charlton
Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner
as Pharaoh Rameses II, with the
tragic figure of Princess Nefretiri
standing between them in the
lovely person of Anne Baxter.
Heston is superb as he evolves
from prince to prophet, being in
turn a figure of rugged strength,
pathos and grandeur, while Bryn
ner is the epitome of imposing
but ruthless arrogance.
Heading a massive cast of
skilled artisans are stars Edward
G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo,
Debra Paget, John Derek, Sir
Cedric Hardwicke, Nina Foch,
Martha Scott, Judith Anderson
and Vincent Price, with a myriad
of top names in the supporting
roles.
Spectacle of a scope never seen
before and probably never again
to be matched backgrounds the
three-hour, 39-minute drama. Us
ing some 25,000 extras, DeMille
has given us immense scenes of
Israelite multitudes building
mighty cities, thronging to the
horizon in the Exodus and revel
ing in barbaric worship of the
Golden Calf.
Unforgettable, too, are the
blasting of the Commandments
into the Sinai granite by God’s
fiery finger; the miracle of the
Red Sea, with the Hebrews crowd
ing in panic between the tower
ing walls of water as the thun
dering chariot army is destroyed
behind them; and the green mists,
blood-red rivers and flaming hail
of the Plagues.
In Vista-Vision and Technicolor,
“The Ten C o’m mandments”
emerges as not only the most vis
ually exciting film ever made but
one of deep meaning to the world
today and to generations to come.
