ever in debt and always wrong, but
happily lolling, carefree, on a South
Seas isle. Or this particular version
of the yarn might still be drab stuff
under the best of circumstances.
At any rate, 'Tuttles of Tahiti"
presents Mr.. Laughton, shabby and
unshaven, in another variation of
his portrayal Of "The Beachcomber."

that one and the role he had in

Mr.. Laughton is cast as Jonas

cellaneous clan living in an elderly
mansion on the Isle of Tahiti His
adventures, in this adaptation of a
novel called "Out of Cas-" by

forth in his ramshackle truck and
losing what money. he can gather by
betting on fighting cocks that do
not fight. Salvage by his sons Of
freight schooner abandoned in
storm at sea brings short lived
wealth, then every one is back where
he started. 1t might have been just
as well had they never started, or
II we hadn't heard about them.
There seems to have been a lack
of inspiration on the part of some
body concerned here, for even the
sequence wherein all the Tuttles
write checks with gay abandon
when the fortune is in the bank
does not come of. Perhaps they are
made just too stupid to be palat-
able, these mad, carefree Tuttles.
There are, of course, some bright
moments in the dullness, especially
those contributed by a 7-year-old,
who tries to bet Jonas walking
stick on a rooster fight because
every one else is betting and who,
when the man comes around to
foreclose after the fortune is spent,
pulls out checkbook and snarls

Pianist Is Heard
In Organ Recital
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The graduation organ recital
given by Mary Formwalt in the
Rankin Memorial Chapel at the
Howard University school of music
last night disclosed that the young
organist possesses no lesser aptitude
for the organ than she has for the
piano upon which she has been
heard professionally a number of
times She handles the instrument
with assurance and ease and draws
considerable volume
A free pedal technique and an
intelligent use of available registers
lent authority to her delivery of
two Bach chorales, I'm Thee Is
Gladness," Il Call to Thee, Lord
Jesus Christ" to the familiar Pre-
lude and Fugue in A Minor" and to
Mendelssohn's Sixth Sonata" the
theme of which is the Lords Prayer
While the fugue parts In Bach or
Mendelssohn could have gained by
greater variety of sound and more
stress placed on leading voices, Miss
Formwalt's performance was always
distinguished by criSpness and

OF the psychiatric profession but
to that of the belabored art Of f1c-
tional mystery as well. Mental
specialists love it, fondle 1t perhaps
above all other psychoses. Pro-
ducers of books and movies regard
it just as dearly, If their treatment
for it Is sometimes less subtle and
painstaking. Schizophrenia is the
concern of M. G. MS Fingers at
the Window" now showing at the
Capitol. And a gratifying concern
1t is.
Under the direction of Charles
Lederer, the well-worn theme mo-
tivates a story in a manner that

Here, as we say, is a film which
should have been a wondrous enter

turns out to be picture which has
couple of moments that should

into the long forgotten treasure

have her glee over shining jewels
interrupted by a kissing hooded
cobra.
The tension of the moment is
broken, of course. when the snake
starts to speak English, becoming
a ludicrous unreality. but moments
like this do leave an imprint on
