apparently Miaja intended to at
tack in force on a line extending
from a point Is miles west of Ma
dridto the city's northwest Suburbs.
Miaja, called the savior of Ma
drid for his defense of the capital
when the Nationalists reached it
in November 1896, only to be held
fast, is now dictator of all Loyalist
Spain outside Catalonia.
He was believed to be planning
an offensive first to relieve the
terrific pressure on the weakening
government lines along the seacoast,
and secondly to take advantage of
his knowledge that the National
lists had moved many thousands of
men from the Madrid area for their
attack on the Catalonian- -Mediter-
ranean front.

No Sign of Life

Doug Corrigan plays both himself
as he is today and as he was when
boy of 16 in R-K-O Radios 1.-THE
Flying Irishman." Studio execu-
tives, who at first considered get
ting a young player to portray the
16-year-old youth, changed their
minds on examination of old por-
traits and snapshots of Douglas at
that age.
At 16, they discovered, he had the
same physical measurements he now
possesses at 81. Put another way,
at 81 he hasn't changed in weight,
height or measurements from his
youth. Notations on the back Of q
snapshot at Is showed him 5 feet 5
in height, weighing 120 pounds and
with an 18-inch waist. The same
figures still obtain.
In facial appearance, moreover,
Doug has changed so little that only
the lightest of makeup is necessary
to make him appear q youth of 16.
For his role of the transforming
flyer-mechanic who wings his way
to Ireland in 9-year-old crate by
mistake, ''Wrong-Way" Doug wears
no makeup at all.

piled by Stump and Stumpy, the

The Citadel
Stays at
Palace
CrOnin's Novel
Among Best
Film Tales

"The Citadel" Metro Goodwin
Mayors faithful and excellent tran
scription OF DR.. A. J. Cronin's dra-
matte tale of a young doctor in
conflict with himself and his pro-
fession, entered a second week at
Loews Palace yesterday. It is a pic
ture, one of the years 10 best, which
merits the attention not merely of
those who are easily satisfied but of
the discriminating who sit in the
most severe judgment upon the
wares OF the movie industry.
No outstanding star names add
glamour to the cast of "The Citadel -
1t Is a picture which uses actors,
instead; a very fine thing from every
point OF view. Its leading players
are Robert Donat, one of the Con-
tinent's best performers and Rosa
lind Russell, the latter creating one
OF the finest characters of a career
that has had little opportunity for
acting. Behind these two come most
OF England'S first string screen play
ers, such persons as Emlyn Williams,
Rex Harrison. Ralph Richardson and
Francis L. Sullivan. Their work
gives DR.. Cronin's best selling novel
the full richness of its original flavor
a worthy accomplishment for any
group of actors.
DR.. Cronin spoke freely in his
book Of certain practices and atti-
tudes within the medical profession
OF which its higher minded members
do not feel proud. So does the film
which M-G-M made in England and
which has an English locale. THE
Citadel" therefore, is a film with a
message but the message is delivered
in the strikingly human terms of a
young doctor who starts his career
as an energetic idealist, loses his
ldealism under the bludgeoning of
circumstance, then returns to it
when the inner conflict is settled bv
dramatic experience. The doctors
battle with himself, with public at
titudes and ethical considerations
results in a series of brilliantly mar
rated episodes which total up as a
film enormously above the average.
The Citadel had best go down
as must" on everybody's list.

Caeney Opus Held
At METROPOLITAN

Angels With Dirty Faces" who
would be Jimmy Cagney, the Dead
End" kids, Humphrey Bogart and
other honor students in Warmers
school OF melodrana, entered a third
downtown week yesterday at the
Metropolitan. That should be quite
all right with every one who admires
the work Of the group, for Angels
With Dirty Faces" is quite easily
one of the best films of its kind.
1t is a plausible story, except for
that extremely dramatic ending,
and it is interpreted with a finish
which could have been acquired only
with long experience in, and a talent
for melodrama.
After the suspense Is all over, and
1t never abates throughout the film,
the residual impression is that Mr..
Cagney is the best gangster of them
all. In the f1rst-class competition
which is offered from such a sterling
cast, he emerges with more honor
than ever before. Right behind
him comes Pat OBrien who, one
should add hastily, is no gangster
but = priest who knows how to deal
with such anti-social fellows.
It should be very much all right
to keep the picture another week.

The Storm
Is Tough
Keith Melodrama
Thing of Just
Action

If melodrama is on your Christmas
shopping list, you will find it at
Keith's. If it is not, you can 60 on
with the other things and not feel
that you are cheating yourself. THE
Storm" is the name of the picture,
a thing so class B that you may feel
stung for week. Its authors, pro-
ducers and players were obviously
out to do something with lot of
action in it. They got action, but
they got twice as much implausibility
as the average person should be
asked to stand in, shall we say, arbi-
trarily, half dozen films.
Topping the cast of "The Storm"
is Charles Bickford, an actor whose
regard for Hollywood writer's always
has been low and should be Just
about zero today. Mr.. Bickford's
function in this picture is to 60
around the world as an embittered
radio opeartor, a lusty, rum swilling
gent who has found q riot, a Jail and
q blond in ever port. You don't see
the jails and the blonds, but after
several battles royal, you begin to
miss them terribly. Between fights,
blonds and jails, the tenseness and
action are turned over to icebergs,
storms, fogs and other natural phe-
nomena which are almost as de-
structive as Mr.. Bickford's fists.
The thin little story from which
all this violence springs is a tale
of two brothers. Older one (Mr.
Bickfor0 does not want younger
one (Tom Brown to 60 to sea as q
radio opeartor. He wants him to 60
to agriculture school instead. The
young one thinks that's silly. So he
goes to sea. Then he becomes
tangled up in blonds, storms, fights,
and If he misses the jails at which
older boy matriculated, he at least
achieves an operation at sea per-
formed by q nurse with radio direc-
tions from shore-the sort of things
that used to be . feature story on
page one on . dull day.
THE Storm" Is equipped with 4
cast Of he-men including, among
others, Frank jerks, Barton Nc
Lane, Samuel 8. Kinds and Andy
Devine. The girl is Nan Grey, poor
thing. j. G.
