Playing
Today
STATE

Film fans have more than one
surprise in store for them when
they see the hilarious comedy THE
Miracle of Morgan'S Greek" which
began its engagement at Warmers
State theater today with Eddie
Bracken and Betty Hutton in the
starring roles.
The picture is full Of amazing sit
uations and story twists, all of them
more laugh-provoking than any
movie comedy offering in recent
months.
Don't be misled into believing this
is musical because of the presence
of Bracken and Betty Hutton; it's a
straight comedy with dramatic I'M
dertones to pull at your heartstrings
even while you're holding your sides
laughing. The story tells of the
problem of small-town girl, Betty,
who in the excitement and inebria-
ton OF dance thrown for soldiers,
marrieS one of them. AS right
names were not given at the we'd
ding ceremony, Betty can't find her
husband when she needs him most.
How she solves her dilemma, with
the help of the adoring Bracken,
and what the miracle" is will pro-
vide film fans with the best movie
fun they've had in long time. Con-
tributing laughs, too, are Diana
Lynn, William Demarest and Porter
Hall.
William Demarest, who has been
making film fans laugh for good
many years, has the biggest comedy
role of his career in Paramount's
unusual movie.
He plays Chief Of Police Kocken-
locker, and that is not typograph-
ical error. 1t is just script writer
Preston Sturges at his funny best,
and might give you some idea OF
the hilarity contained in this pic
ture about a small-town girl with
big, romantic problems.
Timber Queen" with Richard
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-03-29

There are two delightful perform
ances, however, that make the play
worth visit. Louis Calhern has
his best role in a long time as the
aristocratic COL Stjerbinsky of Po-
land, and oscar Karlweis, a refugee
actor from Vienna, gives one of the
seasons better performances as ia
cobowsky, Polish-Jewish refugee
to whom another flight from the
Germans is nothing new. Annabel-
la, wife of 1t. Tyrone Power, fur
nisheS the romantic interest as the
Coloners French sweetheart and
does well enough with a role that
does not demand too much of her.
J. Edward Bromberg, an old Guild
standby, returned from Hollywood
to do good job as the Colonels
orderly.
The action opens in Paris as peo-
pie are beginning to flee from the
oncoming Germans in June, 1910.
The Colonel has secret papers that
he must get to England. Jacobow-
sky has plenty of reasons for not
wishing to be caught and he buys
e. car from a chauffeur. He can't
drive but the Colonel can, and the
two join forces. The Colonel,
proud, caste-bound type, doesn't
think much of JacobowslIy. Instead
Of driving away from the Germans
he drives toward them to the ances-
trail acres of his sweetheart. He
persuades her to flee France and
they finally start for the southwest
coast. 1t soon develops that the
party would get nowhere were it
not for Jacobowsky. He does the
thinking. the planning and gets gas
oline from improbable sources. He
knows all the tricks of fleeing and
he talks nice line. All this does
not endear him to the Colonel, and
the fact the girl finds Jacobowsky's
talk fascinating does not help mat
tiers.
Finally the party is split up when
about at its goal by discovery by
the Germans, but Jacobowsky man
ages to escape with the Colonel's
hidden papers and they all meet
again at st. Jean de Luz, where the
NaZiS are outwitted and the Colonel
and Jacobowsky escape on an Eng
lish corvette. There is room on the
boat for only two persons and the
Colonel takes Jacobowsky along be-
cause he is finally convinced that
the man will be an asset in the war
effort. TIL, girl remains behind be-
cause she finds that she can't bear
to leave her native soil.

with drawing room comedy these
many years, is nicely larded through
out the first two acts, in which
quiet humor underlies every situa-
ton despite the tragic Circumstance
es. The writer has managed to
strike nice balance and the inter-
play of the hcaracters of the Col
onel and Jacobowsky is pleasant
business. 1t is only when the Ges-
tapo and melodrama step in that
the going gets rough and makes
uneven the whole effect of the play.

device the author might have used
to bring matters to a head, but the
one he chose seems to be an I'M

Diese1s Basketeers Get New Uniforms

When the Electric Boat Diesels play their next basketball game here In New London, they will wear their new uniforms for the first time. It was necessary for Manager Bob Hullivan to make a trip to New York City and spend half a day going through the stock of one of the city's largest sporting goods stores in order to light upon something suitable. To secure made to order uni forms would take from three to five months and then it is un- likely that the material now avail able would stand up under too much abuse.
 Bob was of the opinion that the Diesels needed brightening of the color scheme in uniforms and with this in mind succeeded in coming up with some Maroon and White dandies. A maroon jacket completes the outfit. Bob has done extremely we'll in finding uniforms that are not only color full but wearable also.

False Story Seen in News

In the late edition of the Daily News a few days ago, there ap- peared a story to the effect that the Electric Boat Diesels had suf- fered defeat at the hands of the Coast Guard Base team here in New London. The Base team in reality had defeated the Groton Tigers, with two Diesel players in the Tigers lineup, and some anbi- tious souf sent in q slightly exag- gerated story to the News. The clipping of the real contest was sent to the Editor of the paper and correction requested.
