and George Sanders in Keith's new
feature. Under Robert Siodmak'S s
direction they have whipped out a
sparkling tale of strange love that
will remain memorable for its act
ing If for nothing else.
Miss Harrison, who was schooled
in the art of producing mysteries by
no less a master than Alfred Hitch
cock, illustrates again chat she is
a highly polished artist at this sort
of thing. One effect of her mastery
of the genre is to sprinkle it with
considerably more of humor than
the stage play had. If SHE had not
gone in for trick ending-whjch
the public is asked not to divulge-
she would have had more effective
piece of cinema. The trick ending,
incidentally, is by no means a fresh
device, and seems to he in danger
of becoming too popular in Holly
wood.
"Uncle Harry" remains essentially
the same tale it was on the stage,
for all the difference IN Its telling.
Its central figure are the Quincy
family, once powerful now but a
faint shadow of its old self. There
are three Quinceys, Brother Harry
and his two sisters, Lettie and
Hester. They are quite unhappy
trio, existing in various stages OF
moral decay. Hester has persecu-
ton complex, the mildest mishap
to overtake any of the group. Harry
is a sort of wan, worn, helpless fell
low, trapped by Sister Lettie's deep,
strange sense of possessiveness to-
ward him. Lettie is violently neu-
rotic.
Into their nettled lives the plot
brings beautiful, normal Deborah
Brown, played by Miss Raines. with
a somnolent allure that looks like
a paraphrase of Laurel Bacan. Miss
Raines has the same trick of using
her eyes and voice quality that
is a dead ringer for that which
gave Lauren her current standing
in pictures. We do not think Miss
Raines' performance is a deliberate
imitation of Miss Bacalrs style, and
even if it were it no doubt will be
quite all right with everybody.
X X X x
Miss Raines' function in the lives
of the three Quinceys is to rescue
Harry from the evil hold of mad,
possessive Lettie. She is crafty girl
in a game like that, but Lettie is
even more full of guile The OBJ
stacles she devises are artful and
successful enough to drive the two
lovers as crazy as she is, but be-
fore that happens murder lifts its
ugly face just in the nick of time
1t is against the rules to reveal too
much of its detail, but it is quite a
dramatic murder-that may be
spoiled for you by the ending which
we mentioned at the beginning.

The setting is the club car On a

THE CAST

Bindings always should be mem
toned at the beginning, perhapS.)
Uncle Harry" has been spotted
with numerous effective sequences.
It's opening, for instance, is much
more effective than the one Job
provided for the stage version. Here
the revelation of the Quincey's FAM
lily life is an excellent blending OF
the humorous and the morbid. Sid
ney Longstreet's screenplay is that
generally throughout the film.
1t is slick, too, in its introduction
of the romantic element in the plot.
There are some strongly favored
passages of direct dueling for
Harry's affections between Miss
Fitzgerald and Miss Raines. No
one is more effective than the for
mer in creating the portrait of evil
neurosis and the contrasting healthy
naturalness of Miss Raines' role is
the ideal one to high light its care
fully wrought parts. Their clash in
Miss Raines' hotel room, when Lettie
ldyo llCl 4OuAAoll So1 40 Oll tAlC tdplC
and declares she will not give up
innocent old Harry, is the finest
single piece of acting in the film.
The romantic interludes between
Sanders and Miss RaineS also are
competently handled. They are de-
pendent for their fire upon Miss
Raines and they are in extremely
safe hands, not TO mention eyes and
sultry voice.
Sanders restrained playing Of the
docile but gifted hero is another
distinct asset of the Keith's.
Producer Harrison has fortified her
cast further with our idea of the
best character actress in Hollywood
namely, Sara Allgood. Miss Allgood
turns in a piece of high comedy in
the role of the dour, scrappy old
housemaid and cook of the Quin-
ceys.
Uncle Harry" If only for the
acting, is something you are not
likely soon to forget.

The Marine Corps has cut its dis
charge score to so points for Ma
rines and to 20 points for woman
Marines, effective November l.
The present scores are so points
for Marines and Is points for wom-
an Marines.
Marine headquarters said that
under present plans the entire. Ma
rine Corps Women's Reserve would
be demobilized by September l.,
1s46.
approximately 62,688 additional
enlisted men will be eligible for re-
lease under the new cut, the corps
said. No estimate of the number
of officers affected was available.
Of the total, some 44.729 are on
overseas duty and 1889 in the
United States.
In announcing the deadline for
demobilization of the Women's Re-
serve, Gen. Alexander A Vande-
grift, marine commandant, ex-
pressed the appreciation of the Ma
rine Corps for the valuable con-
tribution they have made to its

on any document, but what is in
the minds and hearts of men"
The organization to keep the
peace is not actually functioning
yet.
The assembly is scheduled to hold
its first meeting in London in De-
cember Some time later the all
powerful, l1-member United Ma
tions Security Council will meet.
When the organization does go
into action it will have its work
cut out for it.
1t may start out on some not-too-
difficult problem, such as whether
wartime neutrals Switzerland and
Sweden should be admitted to the
United Nations.
Chances are, however. that it soon
will get into more ticklish issues like
international truSteeShips.
Presumably, it will be up to the
United Nations Organization to set
up truSteeships to administer Italy's
old colonies. Korea, and the Pacific
islands wrested from Japan.
AS of yesterday noon, &c nations
had completed ratification of the
Charter and delivered the necessary
documents at the State Department.
Ratification documents of at least
three more nations was required to
make the Charter effective-and one
of the three had to be Russia, one
of the Big Five" on the Security
Council
Shortly after pm, Fedor Orek-
hov, first secretary of the Soviet
Embassy, called at the State De-
partments division of treaties. He
had with him not only Russia S
ratification, but those. of the, White
Russian and Ukrainian Republics
as well.
Little more than an hour later,
Mr.. Byrnes signed the protocol
which made the Charter "a part of
the law of nations"
Secretary Byrnes said the United
Nations provides the organization
which is necessary to fulfill the
longings of the peoples of this
earth who yearn for peace" and
he declared that the United States
would do its utmost along with
other members ito keep the peace
and promote the well being of all
peoples"
Former Secretary Of State Ed
ward R. Stettinius, jr., the Amer
icap representative on tho TTpitaC

BIandford Requests
Presidential Power
To Fix Home Prices
By ROBERT LEWIS.

National Housing Administra-
tor John B. Blandford, jr., today
urged Congress to grant the
President power to impose ceiling
prices on homes, but said the
National Housing Agency does
not want the job of administer
ing the ceilings.
Testifying before the Senate Small
Business Subcommittee, Mr.. Bland
ford supported the appeal made
yesterday before the same commit
tee by Price Administrator Bowles
for authority to impose ceilings.
but said OPA should take over the
JOB. He added: I'VE don't want to
be in this thing at ALL"
Mr.. BowleS had said he didn't
think the OPA should handle the
job if Congress enacted enabling
legislation
Call MIA Job.
Maurice w. Lee, executive assist
ant to Mr.. Bowles, who represented
OPA today said:
We've been batting the question
back and forth for some weeks
now and we think the National
Housing Agency should handle the
job"
Mr.. Blandford said he expected
next year would be very critical"
from the standpoint of housing. He
added that 100000 families now
are doubling up" and another
100000 probably would be added to
this group by the end of the year.
Expects 475,000 Units.
He explained MIA does not ex-
pect more than 5000 dwelling
units to be built next year and
assured the subcommittee this was
"an optimistic estimate"
Under questioning by Senator
Wherry, Republican, of Nebraska,
Mr. Blandford said he didn't believe
the slX-point housing program out
lined by Reconversion Director
Snyder, more than a month ago.
would be quite sufficient to hold
home prices down to a reasonable
level.
Referring to a month-long study
of nome price controls by a special
committee appointed by Mr.. Snyder,
Mr. Blandford said the committee
had come to the unanimous con-
cluslon that the President ought to
have the power to act if the six
point program was not producing
housing in the volume needed"
Need to Be Short
The housing administrator indi-
Gated he believed home price ceiling
authority would be needed only for
the next Is months. He said during
that time the need and demand will
be unprecedented
Earlier, Senator Wherry had OBJ
jected the program for home ceiling
prices is administratively unwork-
able, would take an army of people
to cover every case and would lead
to widespread evasion of price con-
trolls.
