NAVY FILM NOW
 PLAYING STRAND
Stand By for ActiOn'' Original Story By Com.
 mander Harvey Haislip

Filmed in cooperation with the United States Navy, Stand By for Action" Metro Goldwyn-Mayer saga of sea warfare with thre stars, Rob- ert Taylor, Charles Laughton and Brian Donlevy in the top roles, is the current attraction at the Strand theater.
 The story, an original by Com mander Harvey s. Haislip, U. s. N. R., and R. c. Sheriff, portrays a brief but action-filled period in the career of a little old American de- stroyer, 8 four stacker of World War I vintage, on convoy duty in the Pacific in the present conflict.
 The ship is recommissioned with a chief yoeman aboard who has lived on the vessel for 26 years, includ- ing World War days and the long period of inactivity which followed It Is his and only love. The role is played by three time Academy award winner, Walter Brennan.
 Taylor is the society aide to a gruff admiral, Laughton, who com- missions the ship and turns it over to its new commander, Donlevy, a rough but capable officer who has come up from the ranks, and then sends his tennis champion aide to sea as Donlevy's second in com- mand, much to the sides surprise and distaste.
 The cruise of the destroyer is eventful. It picks up two women and twenty babies from a torpedoed liners lifeboat. Then each of the women gives birth to a baby aboard. Efforts of the crew in attending the young mothers and in caring for the cargo of twenty-two infants furnishes the lighter side of the epic and Chill Wills, deserting his vest ern characterizations.
 The story called for only three women and one of these was 21- year old Marilyn Maxwell, farm CTS daughter from Clarinda, Iowa, who had the experience, unusual even for Hollywood of making screen love to Robert Taylor on the first day that she ever worked in pie lures.
 The second laff-packed hit on the same program is "The McGurins from Brooklyn" featuring Max Baer.

headmistress in spite of her aver sion to the job. The third and youngest sister, Irma, is played de- lightfully by Gertrude Musgrove, of London, who made a strong im- pression here last season in her first New York appearance when she played in the short-lived "The Heart of a City"
 Miss Gordon has the role of the deSpicable Natasha, who marries the sisters brother and proceeds to make life more miserable for all concerned. Hers is the showiest role and she makes the most of 1t.
 Despite the eminence of most of the players, there is no impression of an "all-star cast" This is a case of working for the good of the play rather than to attract personal at tention ...
 The story, if you can call it that, need not be repeated in detail here. Briefly, 1t tells how the three daughters of a deceased general long to escape from their home in provincial city to Moscow, the glamorous place of their birth, and how life conspires against them to frustrate all their plans and rob each of her individual happiness. The time is some 40 years ago.
 noted that some of the critical articles about the play made the point that in his day, when Rus sian women are working in fac-

 Hollywood, Jan. 8-There is only one really importan: star above the Movietown horizon for 1943-and that is Mars. He's not only the leading star, but the No. 1 director and prodcer, too.
 The War God is riding hard over the film world. Ee has pretty well smashed the old star sys- tenn" and the lavish traditions of a gayer era. He has showed dozens of masculine favorites off the con- tract lists, knocked down produc- ton costs. and indirectly has up- set the whole scale of entertain ment values Also, War is plan ming to steal most of the pictures and dominate most of the plots during the new year.
 However, all such ruthless oper- ations have turned out to be very stimulating to the movie industry, which in spite of its fractured prec- edents is making more money than ever in its gilded, goofy history.

 For instance, 20,h-Fox put $300,- 900 on the line for John Stainbecl's book, "The Moon Is Down" and Paramount shelled out $290,000 for the play. Lady fn the Dark. Nei- ther sum included the considerable cost of rewriting the properties into filmable form.
 Lacking balanced teams of cs- tablished players for sales-ap- peal, the studios are substituting familiar stories for familiar faces. The new formula itself is a sub stit1te for the star system, which depended on big names, costly production and ballyhoo. Today, the story's the thing, and most of the stories are about the war.
 A glance down the Hollywood shooting schedule shows the trend: watch on the Rhine" "They Were Dependable" Cry Havoc, Flight Surgeon" Stage Door Canteen," "Bataan Patrol.

In Morocco" Bing and Bob pull all the stops. Their gags are so numerous and follow so close ly on the heels of each other that some of the punch lines are lost in the general uproar.
 Critics everywhere are praising Road to Morocco" as one of the funniest films ever designed to irn- prove the nations morale. The story is completely incidental to the gags, which, word has 1t, represent Bing and Bob in rare form.

Besides Miss Cornell, the cast in- cludes two more of the American theater's finest actresses - Ruth Gordon and Judith Anderson and many of the actors are of al- most equal prominence. Among them are Mckay Morris, as Soly- ony; Edmund Gwenn, as Chebuty- kin, the army doctor; Dennis King, as the unhappy, philosophizing Colonel Vershinin; Eric Dressler as the neurotic, weak brother of the sisters; Tom Powers, as the pedan- tic, cuckold husband of Masha, and Alexander Knox, as Baron Tuzenbach.
 Of the men, Gwenn is outstand- ing and he does much to add some humor to the play, something you do not often find in a production of Chekhov drama. Indeed, all of the players and their director, Mo- Clintic, have accomplished a great deal in Tightening the mood of the play from time to time in man. ner which the author likely would have approved. The text is pretty bleak stuff at first sight, but a lit- tie examination will disclose that Chekhov larded 1t with fair share of sardonic humor. All that is re- quired is the use of some irnagina- ton in the acting and directing and that we have in this case.
 To get back to the actresses. The three stars do not portray the three sisters of the title. Miss Cornell has the role of the Martially dissatis- fled Marsha, who has an affair with Vershir1in and sees her only happi- ness destroyed when he is trans ferred to new post, and Miss An derson is the elder sister, Olga, the spinster teacher who becomes

tories and fighting at the battle fronts, "The Three Sisters" seems to be trifle on the futile side be- cause its women, except for the pushing Natasha, never make any effort to try to set things right for themselves. Such criticism Is pure poppycock. This is not a play about modern Russian women or any, thing modern. It is as much an his- torical play as would be Q drama about George Washington.
