FEATURE FEELS
 OF ST. MARY'S"' N
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

"The Bells of St. Mary's" rang to large audiences at the 20th Century Theatre yesterday and will ring out again tonight at final showings
 Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman are starred in this feature with an excellent supporting cast.
 Bing has the role of Father O. Malley newly appointed pastor of the somewhat rundown parochial school of St. Mary's, and Miss Bergman is seen as the Sister Su- rerior, Sister Benedict, whose ideas as to the best methods of child-training do not always CO., incide with those of the new pas tor. Though the nuns greatly out number him, Father O'Malley man. ages to hold his own, thanks, chiefly, to the warm sense of hu- nor existing within the walls of St. Marys This reaches it's height when Sister Benedict takes it up- on herself to instruct a too inoffensive youngster in the nohle art of elf-defense.
 When St. Marys is threatened by condemnation proceedings, the methods used by Father OMalley and the gentle nuns to preserve their beloved school are rsspon- sible for some of the most anus ing scenes in the picture. There is drama, too, in the rehabilitation of Patsy, a neglected waif, whose life is replanned for her at St. Mary's.

 Bendix brings about Deannas meeting with the other two mem- bels of the triangle. Deanna has to play up to Menjou for the sake of Drake's future, and of course gets caught Finally, when 1t seems that the situation could not get much worse, Deanna makes is so by confessing her hoax.
