Here's Life Reads
Like Fiction Story

When General w. j. wild BilIo
Donovan, chief of the U. S. Of
flee of Strategic Services some
time ago visited Oslo, he found
time for long chat with one of
the Norwegian underground heroes
Max Manus, who afterwards left
for the United States aboard the
liner "Stavangerfjord.'
1t was no accident that Cen
eral Donovan sought a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Manus: as head
of O. S. S. he has long been IA
miliar with Mr.. Manus's work and
more particularly with the value
of that work to the United States
in terms of American lives saved
on the Western Front.
The story of this young Nor
wegian patriot reads like the wild
est fiction. He joined the Resist
ance movement early in June,
1910, as soon as the shooting had
stopped in Norway.
By February, 1911, his activi-
ties had caused the Germans so
much trouble that when he fell
into Gestapo hands he was SEN
fenced to face a firing squad.
Admitted to the Oslo hospital un-
der pretext of illness, Mr.. Manus
engineered his way to Britain.
For the next year and a half
he trained in England and Can
ada for propaganda work an d
sabotage. In February of 1913, he
parachuted back into Norway to
devote most of the remainder of
that. year to carry on activities
which to the time of the German
capitulation made him one of the
most hunted men in Norway.
His first major operation early
in 1914 was during the period
when the Germans, abetted by
Quislings, We're trying desperately
i to draft Norwegian youth for COM
pulsory labor which Norwegians
had reason to believe would mean
forced military service for the Ger
mans.
Under his planning and direction
four main registration centers Were
raided by patriotic squads ano

conscription scheme was sabotag.

His next major success was il
placing a large quantity of ex'

man troop transport Monte Ros,
which exploded with such effect
that the ship was laid up in Co

Laurence Olivier, regarded by
many competent authorities as the
best actor in the English language
at the moment, is the reviewers
choice as the actor of the year, and
Betty Field as the actress. Olivier's
victory was by the narrowest of
margins, votes to over Ralph
Richardson, also of the Old Vic
troupe, and Alfred Lunt for his
performance in 20 Mistress Mine" !"
Probably to the surprise of many
who saw her in the same play at
the National, Lynn Fontanne was
no better than runner-up in the
distaff department of acting. The
vote here was S to 4 in favor of
Miss Field in Dream Girl"
The critics opinion showed no
such division in the sphere of mu-
sical performers. Among the men,
Ray Bolger won hands down, IL to
l, over Eddie Foy, jr. in Red Mill"
and Charles Fredericks in Show
Boat" Bolger, of course, is the
major asset of Three to Make
Ready" Ethel Norman of Annie
Get Your Gun" scored almost as
decisively over Betty Garrett of
Call Me Mister" the vote turning
out to be II to 3.
The best supporting actor among
men turned out to be Marion
Brando, seen in Washington last
week AS Marchbanks in Candida.
The award was made for his per-
formance in that play and also for
his work in the spectacularly ILL
fated "Truckline Cafe" The re-
viewers who were roundly de-
nounced for finding no virtue in
Maxwell Anderson's play, found
enough in Brando to make him the
young actor of the year.
Maybe the Critics Circle had
better let Variety conduct its next
award meeting. It at least gets
action.
