 Before Burt Lancaster could make "The Kiilers," he'd have to spend five years ct San Quentin.

Strand Bills Hilarious Hit
 copoble Cost In
 Current He

ne it ever so hilarious, there's no picture like Home Sweet lloniiclde", the new goth CentllFy.Fox comedy thriller which opened Wednesday ag tne Strand Theatef with c wonder iul cast headed by Peggy Ann oarn- er, Randolph Scott, lynn Bari, Dean Stockwell and Connie Marshall.
 This film, based on Craig Rice's famed best-seller, is one of those ali. too-rarely successful blends of de. llghtful comedy and spifie-tingiing chllls that stands otlt ike on oasis m the desert Of conventional screen "whodunits."
 Certainly, none among the top mystery writers knows better than does Miss Rice that there Is "a crime and place for everything" She has taken this axi,im and has given tt c sestful twist--given it, in fact, c crime begins ct home" afigie--to unfold in "fiome Sweet EomicIdeo the intriguing story c young and widowed mystery writer (piayed ifi the film by Lynn Barb whose daily chore of turning out Q successful stream of "whodunits" IA made fio lighter by the problem of raising three precocious children who i1ufns per themselves among her most crime sophisticated fans.
 Since she dreams up her own crimes and solutions, e real murder committed practically in her own backyard is not for her to dabbie With. But the kids--feggy Ann, Dean and Connie--have other ideas on the subject. If they could solve the crime, the resulting publicity should sell more copies of their mothers next book than Forever Amber" And equally important, if they could get the handsome detec. tive Scott, who is assigned to the case, to get kind of interested in their mother, 1t would provide the romantic excitement they feel she lacks in her book-writing life.
 Peggy Ann Garner Is grand as the oldest. most Sophisticated" of the children. As an encore to her mem- orable Junior Miss" portrayal, she handles this pure high comedy role in a sure and engaging manner that is sheer delight, and that reaffirms her position as one of fiimdom's most talented and versatile young actresses. Dean Stockwell and Con. rlie Marshall, as Peggy Ann's kid brother and sister, are equally mar velous to behold, delivering solid yet relaxed performances that well might be the envy of older, more ex- perienced stars.
 The companion feature is Might Trfain To Memphis. It features Roy Acuf and His Smoky Mountain Boys.
