EXEMPTION FOR
 SUMMER RENTALS
State OPA Executive Is- sues Statement COver-
 ing l945 Season

Summer housing accommodation free of rental restrictions since the beginning of rent control. will be exempt again during the l945 season. James T. Sullivan. State OPA rent executive. announced today.
 The amendment extending the exemption. however, provides that all landlords of such summer dwellings must register these prop critics with the Area Rent Office under whose jurisdiction they fall, Sullivan added.
 He set the registration date as "any time between the first of April and the last of May" adding the sooner within this period the better.
 Registration forms. not yet avail able at Connecticut's five Area Rent Offices. are expected to be on hand well before the beginning of the reg istration period and all landlords may obtain them on request
 In order to qualify for the sum- mer rental exemption from rent coil- trol, landlords must meet the fol- lOWluk COtlulUlOAib. NJ AIlC nSNOAt modations must be situated in a resort community; CD they must have customarily been rented on a seasonal basis before October l.
 1924; and (0 they must not have been rented during any portion of the period beginning November l, l943. and ending February 20, 1914.
 "The easiest way for a landlord to test his qualifications is by asking himself whether he qualified for a rent control exemption last year in- solar as his summer dwelling units were concerned" Sullivan said. I'll he qualified then. he can qualify now"
 However. If landlord now de- cides to rent a bona fide summer accommodation year-round. the rent head said, that dwelling auto matically falls under rent control regulations during all the months Of the year with the exception Of the summer season which is. according to OPA, the period from June to September 30th.

Walter Pidgeon, Van johnson, Lana
Turner, Edward Arnold and Robert
Benchley. These varied vagabonds
carry on Economically, comically,
poignantly and in other ways that
will please you. If at the same time,
they leave you wondering why none
of the same fascinating or amusing
things happen to you when you
leave home, put it down as another
respect in which life is inferior to
the movies. Truth to tell, most of
the enormous population of the
Waldorf in the picture is the sort
to which nothing dramatic seems to
happen.
The credit list of Metros ornate
fable attributes it to suggestion
from Vicki Baum's novel, but if the
press agent of Lucius Boomers pala-
tial boarding house made similar
suggestion, it would not come as a
surprise. 1t is an entertaining, if over
long, picture regardless of where the
idea originated. Entirely apart from
the human antics involving all
those engaging people, it is interest
how a huge hotel works. 1t will
enable you to understand syour bills
better, or at least give you a feeling
that lot of people are going to
lot of trouble for you.
The disclosures of what an intri-
cate living machine a hotel is
come right down to it with camera
are naturally incidental to three
main-story threads running through
Week End at the Waldorf"
First, there is jaded, loveless
movie star Ginger Rogers being
pursued by tired. battleworn War
Correspondent Pidgeon. 1t is a
Freudian feud, laughable in letter
and in spirit.
In a second main romantic bout,
Lana Turner. the hotels public
stenographer is the apex of a tri-
angle whose other angles are Van
Johnson offering her the pure love
of wounded flyer facing a danger
GUS operation and Arnold, pro-
moter who thinks she would look
enticing in a Park avenue apart
ment with IA rooms and five baths.
The third major segment of the
plot has to do with Arnold's effort
to trick Mahara jah-like fellow
guest into an oil deal that will ad-
versely affect every automobile gaso-
line tank in America.
You might think that three such
diverse plot elements would have a
tendency to escape, but that is be-
cause you don't know how strong the
walls of the Waldorf are. Actually,
they are laced together with suffi-
Gent plausibility to satisfy the most
carping lobby-sitter. Even when
several minor extraneous notes are

BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

The talents that go Into the max
ing of any motion picture are many
and varied, as any student of the
cinema knows. In their joining
often lies the secret of success or
failure of a film. II the union is
a congenial one. marked by unity
of thought and spirit. the result
is bound to be happy. 1t Is a pleas
ure to report that the result in
the instance of And Then There
Were None" which opened yester-
day at the Capitol, gives every in
dication of such a congenial union
Agatha Christie is a top-notch
fabricator of mystery yarns. Dud-
ley Nichols is a screen writer who
can contrive as clean and concise
a blueprint for a film as any di-
rector could ask. Rene Clair Is a
director who knows that good mo-
ton pictures are made with cameras
looking at action rather than with
microphones listening to dialogue.
Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Hus-
ton are two of the finest actors
around anywhere and Roland Young,
Sir G. Aubrey Smith, Judith Ander-
son and Louis Hayward are more
than merely competent.
You have every reason to expect
that the juncture of these talents
would result in fine bit of cinema
entertainment and the film YER
sion of Miss Christie's 40 Little
Indians" will not change your mind
on that score.
Those who know the play or the
original story know that this is a
taunt and SuSpenSeful yarn, this
adventure of group of people in
vited to lonely island for a week
end, by an unknown host who ad-
dresses them only by photograph
and visits them one by one with
sudden death. And unless you have
come across the story before, you
will never be able to name the cul-
prit until he is actually found out.
You may hit upon his name by
wild guess, but that is all it will
be. The ordinary methods by which
flctional mysteries are solved just do
not work when Miss Christie is spin
ming yarn.
Right after its admirable sus-
pense, on the list of the merits of
"And Then There Were None" must
come the deft touches of humor
with which Mr.. Clair and Mr..
Nichols have lightened their thriller.
All of this blood letting would be-
come little on the gruesome side if
it were not perpetrated with touch
of the tongue-in-t he-cheek attitude.
Before the affair is finished rather
small island is fairly well Uttered
with corpses, produced by some
gruesome methods, including hatch
cts and falling cornices, but between
the production of the corpses there
is many a bright touch in the spar
ring between the suspects.
Naturally, much of the Sparring
that goes on involves Mr.. Fitzgerald
and Mr.. Huston. With those two
around, contributing a pair Of juicy
portraits of a noted Irish jurist and
a famed surgeon cursed by a thirst,
almost any other acting talent would
be paled by comparison, which is
approximately what happens here.
They probably are as responsible as
any one else involved for making
"And Then There Were None" a
very engaging affair indeed.

injected, some musical interludes by
Xavier Cugat and his entertainers,
a running gag about Benchley and
his dog Susie, the latter about to
become a mother, and a few others,
everything merely seems to be add
ing up to week end at the Wal
dorf. 1t is a big, busy place, you
know.
If Johnson's devotees and the set
which whistles at the sight of Miss
Turner do not mind, this spectator
will take the Rogers-Pidgeon love
duel as its favorite single frolic
among the several of the picture.
Both players are facile at that sort
of thing. the successful sophisti-
Gates who suddenly miss the voices
of little children and the steady
companionship of some one who is
not intolerable. They more than
counterbalance the more touching
affair running concurrently between
the flyer and the public stenogra-
pher, couple of harrassed young
whose eventual decision is to be
made on a more certain basis.
All in all, Week End at the Wal
dorf" seems such satisfying pat
tern for movie that it would not
be surprising to see movie audi
ences week ending at a lot of such
places. The formula is loose enough
for the injection of anything, as
complete actually as the service of
the hotel. If it is comedy, it is
there behind the nearest potted palm
or the door of one OF the tower
suites, in the barber shop, or else
where. Comedy, happily. is the
principal ingredient of the current
film, but poignance, baseness and
other dramatic essences are as read
lily available.
The acting in week End at the
Waldorf" is not of Academy Award
quality, but it is easily in keeping
with the story it undertakes to tell

Then, with a hypodermic needle, he

Finally bacteria attack plants in
