DestroYsr-Sea Adventure. This
screen story is of a salty Navy
mans faith, pride in his ship, and
his supreme confidence she will
weather all storms and fight her
way to victory no matter what
the odds. Robinson's handling Of
his role is as salty as a seaman
could wish and Toomey as the
skipper is so Navy it's hard to be-
lieve he hasn't sailed and fought
on destroyers. Both perform their
roles as smoothly as a well-greased
torpedo sliding home in its tube.
Torpedo Boat-An adventure in
national defense and deals with
the invention of two-man torpedo
boats. It is in the groove of to-
days interests without essaying
in any detail to expert the war
or take the stump for an idea. It
is really good entertainment.
The MummY's Curse unus-
ual tale deals with two Egyptian
mummies being restored to life.
Careful direction gives this film
many qualities that insures its
success. Exterior scenes of wild
marshes and the deserted crumb-
ling monastery all add effective
ly to the atmosphere.
