are dull and stodgy men will have
vanished. True, their motives may
differ but they get a tremendous
load of action into their doings,
enough indeed to make such old
instructive killers as j. Cagney, Gar
field, Bogart and Robinson look
profoundly corny. Sort of emo
tional upstairs, it makes them seem.
One may object that the prof's
discovery of a murderable woman as
the viper in the lives of his two
favorite former students is a little
too pat. Perhaps it is, but the OBJ
lection is trivial. The important
thing is that he finds her and that
she fits every specification for the
professors victim, the primary one
of which is that, despite her beauty,
includes her mother, whom the
young woman denies is her mother;
the husband who was driven to
alcoholic disaster by her attitude,
and the child she allowed to 60 to
an orphan asylum that she might
not be encumbered.
1t is very fine case that Barry
TriverS' screen play builds for the
old professor. He convinces you
completely that it is one of the most
justified murders in history and
then he starts pointing out fallacies.
When the last of the latter is
plucked from the circumstances of
the case, the picture has proved that
no man has the right to be both
judge and executioner, not even the
gentle, lovable professor. But you
still revere him, which is one of the
finest qualities of Flight From
Destiny"
Mitchell's performance is one Of
those things that looks Academy
Awardish even at this distance from
December (whew, what's Decem-
ber0. 1t is one of those simple,
subdued, gently humorous portraits
which prove that when writer and
actor do get together, the screen
can be dramatic thing.
Lynn as the harassed, suffering,
entrapped young artist; Stephenson
in the role of the doctor friend of the
old professor, and several others of
the less dominant players also turn
in excellent performances.
See it, if you like your movies with
ideas.
Any one who has thought those
magnificent touches of understate-
ment in British pictures were f1c-
tionS, albeit admirable ones, need
only read these two paragraphs
from the official Admiralty COM
munique on yesterdays Bismarck
sinking:
"Details of this phase of the action
have not been received. 1t is known,
however. that H. M. S. Dorsetshire
Capt. B. C. S. Martin R. NJ was
ordered to sink the Bismarck with
torpedoes.
THE Bismarck sank at 11:o1 this
morning"
Script writers may shoot at that
the rest of their lives.

Following his occupation Of the
islands. the admiral conducted a
plebiscite and reported thnt the
fishing folk voted IS per cent TO-
the Free Fernch cause He there
upon announced his intention Ct
resisting any efforts to withdraw
Free French control, and issued
regulations repeatedly forbidding
ships of ANY nationality from

The American government finds
itself in an embarrassing position
