PARSONS's, HARTFORD

The public, so the critics say, is sick of happy endings on the screen. The public, the producers vail. won't stand for unhappy conclusions. So What Price Glory" the film comedy of war. love and loyalty now cur rent at Parsons's theater, twice daily. 2:30 and S:30. strikes q happy medium. It has no hero. it lacks q villain, 1t does not end in siclly sentimental fade-out yet for all that it's ending is not an unhappy one. It Is somewhat comic and slightly tragic, and the audience must de- eide for itself just what sort of a conclusion it really is, for. like life, the story doesn't end when the cur tain drops. Incidentally, up to the last flicker of film, no audience that has not previously seen the play has the slightest Idea what is going to happen next. Just before the climax comes the weirdest card game ill the world-two cold poker hands dealt out on the table, and the losing man gets a ten-yard start: the winner. the gun and maybe the girl. Ordi- narily that would be the end of the tale. but What Price Glory" is no ordinary picture.
