Pretending to be nothing else
but good entertainment, it is just
that; swell story well told.
1t has realism because the dia-
logue is natural and the movie
makers have created the atmos-
phere of a prewar Europe with an
amazing fidelity.
RevOlve5 About Spies
The plot revolves about two in
ternational spies, enacted by Will
liam Powell and. Luise Rainer.
William Powell, as Baron Stephan
Wolensky, Polish spy, is the bearer
of a letter to the Gar informing
him that his son, the young Grand
Duke Peter (Robert Young) is held
prisoner by group of Polish ma.
tionalists. The grand duke is to be
released if the Czar will pardon a
doomed Polish nationalist.
Luise Rainer, as Countess Olga
Mironova, is also heading for the
Russian border with documents
proving the identity of Count
WolenSky as a spy. If these docu-
ments can be delivered an6 the
Count captured it means his
death.
Their Paths Cross
In Vienna their paths cross at
the home of Henry Stephenson.
where their notes find their way
into trick candlesticks which Ste
phenson is sending to a friend in
Moscow. A battle of wits enSues
to gain these candlesticks.
Powell is able to obtain both
notes, performs his task, and goes
to Luise with whom he has fallen
in love. There both are arrested,
she because her superiors believe
she has betrayed Russia and he
because he is an admitted foreign
spy.
Brought before the Car, how
ever, that monarch, pleased that
his sons life is no longer in
jeopardy, frees them both.
In addition to the Messrs. Pow
ell and Young and Miss Rainer,
the cast includes a wealth of tai
ent. Maureen O'Sullivan, Frank
Morgan, Henry Stephenson. Don

tribute excellent characterizations
in the minor roles.
BOwes Unit On Stage
On the stage the International
Revue, a Major Bowes unit, holds
sway. This is the best of the
Bowes units that I have seen. 1t
is truly international, as its name
indicates, because it numbers
members from Czechoslovakia,
Russia, Switzerland, China, Eng

'The Devil Is Driving" is a tell

which permits a whiskey-crazed
maniac in a high.powered car loc 5e

The Metropolitan presents Richard

Camp streets had been laid out, To-
cations assigned to the various troops
in the 20 sections and emergency

gave him every assistance. Gordon's
assistant Is Ray Bryan.
Last November IS the two Scout
executives set up their jamboree con-
