It is difficult to describe in mere words the tremendous emotional experience coupled with superb screen entertainment that awaits you with the opening today of "The Keys of the Kingdom" For the mil lions who have read A. J. Cronin's warming story this will be a double thrill. not only because 1t is the same good story as the book but because 1t is portrayed in such a. fine and noble manner. Starring Gregory Peck, man whose acting ability and character will lead him to the top, gives convincing and noble characterization in this gall lant story of glorious rebel who speaks for everyone who ever dreamed brave dreams and battled that they come true. The film boaSts an outstanding cast of the screens top actors, including Thomas Mitchell, Vincent Price, Rosa Strad- ner, Roddy Mcdowell, Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Jane Ball.
 This picture is an epic, a story you will long remember and love. It Is good story of a good man told in good way. and depicted by good actors. Roddy Mcdowell IS especially fine, portraying Gregory Peck as a youngster. His Winsome

formance and manages to get co~- siderable variety into her' wCrA, something that you do not expect to get fro ma person of her film background. It is unfortunate that she has such weak play to lean on. Kennedy has written a story of -and-wife quarrel in which she finds him playing around with 8 girl and has her revenge by pre- tending to play around with three admirers.
 The situation Is trite and Ken nedy has done little to refurbish it nito acceptable theater. However. he does reveal a knack for writing some occasionally witty lines, marred only by the fact that he too obviously is trying to do just that. The best lines by the way. are spoken by actor Kennedy.
 Conrad Nagel, another film vet eran, but one who has had 8 lot of stage experience, doesn't get much of chance to do anything but act futile and harassed. Choo Choo Johnson, popular model from the cafe society set, has an effective comedy bit and others in the cast include Maxine Stuart, John Club ley and David Tyrrell.
 Jules J. Leventhal and Frank Mccoy producetd the play, which closed after a brief run.

"Rebecca," of course, is the play based on the best-selling novel of the same name. Both jobs are the work of Daphne du Maurier. the daughter of that late debonair British actor, Sir Gerald du Mau- rier, and granddaughter of the author of Peter Ibbetson." Holly wood made highly successful pie tlre of 1t, which makes the success somewhat amazing.
 Just how "Rebecca' will fare in New York Is not certain. It is workmanlike job, but nothing more, as piece of writing and there can be little suspense left because prac- tically every one has been exposed either to the novel or picture or both It Is interesting, however, to see how Miss du Maurier has managed to tailor her long, rambling and breeding tale to the stages limita- tions. In the play 1t isn't possible to hold out to he very end the ex- plantation of the strang events at Maxim de Winters Cornwall estate, where he bring his shy second life to live in an atmosphere dominated by the memory of his first spouse, the Rebecca of the title.
 Playing the leading roles are Bramwell Fletcher as de Winter; his wife, Diana Barrymore, as the second wife, and Florence Reed as Danvers. Fletcher does an excellent job and Miss Reed plays with a subdued passion that is extremely effective. Miss Barrymore, Johns daughter, still has lot to learn, but she is in the right company to learn 1t and undoubtedly is progress ing. It is still too early to say wheth- CT she Is ever going to be anything more than adequate" Others in the cast are Richard Temple, Mar garet Zimmerman, Franklyn Fox Claude Horton, George Baxter, Reg inald Mason and Edgar Kent. Int direction, effective on the whole, is the work of actor Clarence Derwent

 We are almost afraid to 20 to Q movie these days for fear of a last minute catastrophe. The idea has unlimited possibilities.
 After seeing '"The Princess and the Pirate" we were sure that the absent husband in Since You Went Away" would turn out to be w. O.
