Walks With Beauty

The wfe, yennifsr Dubedat,
Is, perhaps. of oil ShoV heroinss,
most LIKE "CandidG" and Miss
Cornell plays her pith luminous
charm and an exciting grace
Which makes her a magnetic fig
ure every moment she Is on
stage, Uhich isn't so Uery often
since the Jenmfsr role is not
large one. .
Massey has a tendency to sue
eunib TO the Lincoln mannerisrls
and is at times most un- British,
although in the final act he is
superb. Cecil Humphreys nearly
steals one UhoIe act With his
fdtuous and pompous portrait Of
Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonnine-
ton. BrauweH Fletcher is perfect
as the worthless but gifted
BLACKBOARD. whiIs Ralph Forbes
and Whitford Kane turn in tWo
excellent performance as tWo
other members of this scientific

Alice Belmore Cliffe, Colir
Kcith-JohnSton and little Margaret
Curtis just about complete this
picture of a top-flight cast.
Not enough can be said for Mr.
McClintic's directorial genius while
Donald Oenslager has distinguished
himself with stunning sets.

Signs Again

The gossip that Alice Faye has
been kicking up her heels and
threatening TO free lance is past
history now Alice has signed a
new two-year contract with
Twentieth Century-Fox after
series of negotiations which went
,on for days. She got what she
wanted and the studio got what
they wanted. so everybody's
happy, She's been at Twentieth
seven years and in that time has
made % pictures.
Whatever happens Alice gets a
three months vacation which
she'll probably take in South
America. but then we told YOU
that and there's a chance that
Charles Wrightsman will also
vacate there. That's where Tyrone
Power and Annabella resumed
their romance. l know on account
of I had a scoop about their meet
ing in Rio de Janiero.

Defining the Issue

Actually the problem is that Of
only one doctor. Sir Colenso Ridg-
con. who has the necessary cure
and he is in love with the artists
lovely wife. Because he can only
rescue a limited number with his
new cure for tuberculosis. nc is
forced TO make the decision while
the others aid and abet him in
what Shaw describes as ethical
murder"
The outcome is not quite what
you might expect since the wife
refuses TO believe her husband a
rotter and turns on the man whom
she feels is responsible for her
husbands death, although our prl-
Vate conviction is that he simply
talked himself 10 death.

OF course. such magnificent act

Humphreys treated US to last

pretty bright stuff. but in this case
they have singled out the barbs of
Shavian Wit. stressed the wonder

Brightest Moments

Certainly you WW laugh at
the delicious huror Of the din
ner table scene and wiH be
equally moUsd BY the beautiful
ersdo Which the seoundreI artist
uttsrs on his death bed
Like many of his dramatic
foybears. ShaD has devoted him
self in The Doctor Dilemma"
to a satirieaI and humorou,iy
malicious attack on the medical
profession as Whois. For al
most every type OF doctor. from
simple country practitioner TO
society surgeon, comes under
Mr.. Shaw's oWn scoipsI. They oil
find thsnsefUss IN quanduy
When they are faced With the
choice Of saving the life Of an
artistic and clever cad or that

Theme

"The war is not the kozis
against democracy, as much as
the spiritual issue inUoiUed. It's
the Nozis against God" Robert
Buckner, Warner Writer, says.
Buckner has Written story,
"HoW Still We See," with a
theme which tends to shoW the
lack Of religion in the worid to-
day. Father CaVandugh of Notre
Dame has read and endorses the
story and believes every denomi-
nation WiI want to get back of
the Buckner idea.
