MOVIE
 NOW AT STRAND
"Silver Fleet" Story of Magnificent Sacrifice,
 Has All=BritiSh Cast

'The Silver Fleet a suspenseful, taut melodrama, which opened a weeks engagement at the Strand theater Wednesday, has been her. aided as one of the best motion pictures to come out of the Eng fish studios since before the war and it more than lives up to ex- pectations.
 Played against authentic back grounds and produced with the acknowledged cooperation of the Royal Netherlands navy, "The Silver Fleet" boasts as competent cast of meticulous histrionic artists as ever appeared before a camera. Ralph Richardson. re- membered for his work in '"The Citadel" and Things to Come" :" portrays the sta1 role of an heroic shipbuilder with great vitality and conviction. Google Withers, popu- lar English actress, plays his wife with magnificent appeal and sympathy.
 One of the most amazing per- formances in the picture is that of Esmond Knight, who, for years was a favorite on stage and screen in London, but who has not been seen in a picture since the be- ginning of the war. Knight was blinded while on naval combat duty early in the war. Despite his sightleSS eyes he was persuaded to return to the screen and gives an exceptionally realistic and thrilling performance. The audience at no time would suspect his blindness.
 Highly melodramatic in content, "The Silver Fleet" produced by Michael Powell and Emeric Press burger, has been expertly screened by maximum tension and the di- rection by Vernon Sewell and Gordon Wellesley, maintains swift and violent pace from be- ginning to end.
 Revealing the story of a man with the courage of his own con- victions, who sacrifices the respect of his beloved wife and the love of his children for principle from which he never swerves, "The Sil- yer Fleet" will scar itself into the heart of any audience.
 Others who give outstanding performance in this saga of a mans magnificent sacrifice in- clude Beresford Egan, Frederick Burtwell, Kathleen Byron, Willem Alderman, Dorothy Gordon and Charles Victor.
 The companion feature is 'The Town Went Wild" with Freddie Bartholomew and Jimmy Lydon.

Psychological Drama of Man Versus Conscience
 at State Theater

In the prize winning of Casa blanca" and the more recently suc- cessful ITO Have And Have Not'' comes Warner Bros powerful new melodrama, Conflict, now on the screen of the comfortably air-con- ditioned State theater.
 With a consistently superior cast headed by stars Humphrey Bogart Alexis Smith and Sydney (Fatman) Greenstreet, this new opus sends the screen to a screaming new peak tnseness, suspicion and man. -wom- an madness.
 It goes without saying that any one picture employing the individ- ual evil-doings of Humphrey Bogart or Sydney Greenstreet is bound to attain the maximum in suspense and first-rate action-packed excite ment. When the services of these two arch -miscreants are combined as they are in Conflict the total effect of good, breath taking

But in the pass eng of time-a time of prolonged hardship, weariness and seeing death strike all around him-a change had come over the captain, and he knew it. Worst of all, he knew that his men knew it. As much In reproach as in command, his colonel had told him to ride on his platoons" Head them into the fight, rather direct operations from com- munications headquarters. And as Capt. Paul Kreider thought out the full meaning of that, and what was to come, he found that constantly tntruding in his mind were his wife, Susie, and little daughter. The struggle against himself was already hnder way. A FRIEND INDEED
 Quick to recognize Kreider's troubled state was Jerry Bull, 8 paratrooper and an old schoolmate. Jerry went out with him when the attack was launched, watched his pvercautious moves, saw him duck It the sound of mortar fire.
