By PATRICIA sIMMONs.

Brooklyn has taken an awful
beating lately, but nothing COM
pared to this one. William Bendix
and Phil Silvers seem to be labor
ing under the impression that If
they play awfully hard ike Abbott
and Costello something good may
come out of the screen opus at the
Capitol, this week, entitled Don
Juan Quilligan" Don't worry about
the pronunciation. In fact, don't
worry.
From start to finish, Bendix and
Silvers make Abbot and Costello
look like the quiz kids. On top Of
that if they aren't careful both
Mr.. Bendix and Joan Blondell are
going to find themselves in a ter
rible rut. Just because the blonde
actress happens to prefer dresses
with that preshrunk look is no
reason to keep her typed in Flat
bush. Likewise for Mr.. Bendix and
his mother complex. Mama plus
the usual Bendix malaprops have
been stretched to point where
obviously Director Frank Tuttle is
the last person who thinks they
are funny. At least, judging from
yesterdays audience.
Bendix has been committing lin
quail homicide for years now so
that's nothing new. This time,
however, in addition to splitting in
finitives and dropping participles he
manages to get himself engaged
to two different girls And in due
time married to both which still
leaves Mr.. Bendix with about half
Of the picture in which to regret it.
Maybe about the time Bendix APP
pears blushing and bashfuDy twist
ing his cap in hand to ask Miss
Blondell's family for her hand in
marriage. The family turns out to
be three great big pugilistic look
ing brothers, whom nobody would
want to cross IN bigamy suit.
All along poor Bendix is merely
victim of circumstances. He sim
ply cannot make up his mind which
girl to marry. Mary Treen, who plays
Lucy, cooks like his mother. One
Whit of her Irish stew and apple pie
and Bendix starts humming 'Lo-
hengrin." What Joan Blondell lacks
In domestic ability she makes up
for in other ways. For instance,
the way she laughs. It's also exact
ly like his mother. Although how
any mother could look at Bendix
and still laugh Is more than well
ever know
From tins to time other minor
complications arise, like being ar
rested for the murder of a nom
existent twin brother or getting
drafted in the Army after already
having enlisted in the Navy. If
you think this is tough, wait until
you get around to the courtroom
scene. BY all rights here we should
Zip you of about the trick ending
But when you stick it out that long
you deserve a surprise.
What with so much talk about
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-06-29

around you from day to day; the
ones In uniform and the others who
are fascinated by the ones in uni
form-or. In the case Of parents,
frightened by the ones in uniform.
They are engaged In the chief occu-
pations Of the moment-flghting a
war or living neck-deep in the emo
tons growing out of the war.
To be specific, a virtue worthy Of
any reviewers ambition, Those En-
dearing Young Charms" is a. run
ming emotional duel between Young
and Miss Day.
He is the young aviator back from
war and en- route to another. He
has money. but what is more to the
point, he has experience. He knows
all the angles and he has no scruples
about using them. The world sim
ply Is his oyster and always has
been. and when he meets the gentle
inexperienced but intelligent girl
she turns out to be the most allur-
ing pearl he ever found in the oyster.
The running battle in which he
represents the of1ense, she the de-
tense. has not found even the Cho-
dorovs sufficiently inspired to find
entirely fresh situation. Their script
and the people in it tour the usual
apartment living room, the swank
night clubs, and the nearest mill
tary airdrome. But what they have
to say in these various familiar
settings Is considerably brighter
than the dialogue that is stand
ard. The verbal fencing, indeed, Is
the embodiment Of most of the
comedy in Those Endearing Young
Charms" and will be found dis
tinctly to the liking of most spec
tators. 1t is fresh in more ways
than one.
The Earle's picture is not con-
tent, however, merely to make a
farce Of wartime affections. It's au-
thors are keen fellows when II
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-06-29

comes to knowing when to make a
srAb at the hearts Of the custom
ers and they do it on many coca
sions just when Those Endearing
Young Charms" needs a change of
mood
Director Lewis Allen has been a
big asset to everybody connected
with the Earle's screenplay. He has
kept 1t in good taste In several
sequences when it might easily have
slipped over the line. That has
been true even in the passage in
which the willy young flyer under
takes tactfully. or tactically. to get
the girls mother drunk. That is a
neat trick for Mr.. Allen to have
pulled.
A particularly bright value in the
picture Is the obvious relish with
which it is played by every one con-
cerned. Young Is patiently pleased
to find himself in so predatory a
role and Miss Day is equally con-
tented in her artistic soul to be
the sweetly, wise girl. Other en-
gaging performances are those of
Ann Harding as the pretty, deeply
concerned young mother, and young
Bill Williams as a noble young pri-
vate first class who will knock the
block of the young flyer If that
should be necessary. 1t comes mighty
close.

postwar planning. Mary MacClana-
han Is on stage this week to give
you an idea Of what a postwar dance
band may look like. Miss Mac
Clanahan brings in her musical
unit completely installed aboard a
miniature auto. Mary seems to
favor the drums and so does the
audience once things get started.
That remarkable horse, Pansy. is
back again with a trainer without
which he wouldn't be so remark
able. She's blond, looks and dances
like Betty Cradle. Jay Jostyn, who
Is Mr.. District Attorney on the
radio, will certainly please his fans
with his choice of a dramatic skit.
