Carpenter Acquitted
On Disorder|y Charge
SAYS Police Beat Him

A middle-aged carpenter, freed
of disorderly conduct charge in
Municipal Court yesterday, said he
will file formal complaint today
with authorities that he was "un--
justifiably beaten" by arresting
policemen
Immediately after his dismissal
by Judge Nadine L. Gallagher,
Frank S. Haskell, so, told reporters
he will sign affidavits drawn by his
lawyer, Harry Ahern, to present to
Maj. Robert J. Barrett, police super
intendent.
Although mention of mistreat-
ment was not made in the court
proceedings. Mr. Haskell charged
that Policemen r. c. Longnecker
and r. r. Callow of No. l3 Precinct
hit him with nightstick and fists.
The incident took place in a cor
ridor outside the Haskell apartment
at 2544 Fourteenth street NV, it
was charged.
The disorderly case was dismissed
on motion that the arrest was
illegal, since the apartment, in
which the offense allegedly oc-
CURED, was not public space as
stated in the formal charge.
Mr.. Haskells complaint, which
the policemen denied. said he and
some friends were celebrating a
birthday when police knocked at
the door. He said one policeman
Immediately arrested him for dis
orderly conduct when he answered
the door.
Mr.. Haskell added that, when he
asked permission to change his
clothes, one of the two officers
struck him with the nightstick.
Later, he said, he was punched in
the face.
The complainant further stated
that, after posting s25 collateral at
the precinct. he went to Emergency
Hospital where five stitches were
taken in his scalp.

the studious girl she expected. Lynn
turns out to be Mr.. Webb.
Mr.. Belvedere is not the man TO be
put OH by q suburban housewives

apart from the prosaic as a baby
sitter. He hates children, he says
Gin q manner indicating that he
considers any other attitude imbe-
cilic), but he is confident he can
cope with them. He is, he informs
her, genius who requires solitude
for his work. He Is tired after q
long train ride and where is his
room?
Mr.. Belvedere turns out to be
much further from the prosaic, as
baby -sitters 60, than any one ex-
poets Of him. He cures the youngest
son Of tossing cereal about the
breakfast nook by dumping q bowl
Of cereal on the infants head and
pointing out acidly, "See, he doesn't
like it either" He subdues the
great Dane and In no time at all
has the children saying "Sir" and
willingly washing their faces before
dinner. He does all he does with a
magnificent hauteur and complete
disdain for those with whom he is
forced to associate.
Mr.. Webb's impersonation OF Mr..
Belvedere Is masterpiece among
his comedy characterizations. His
olfactory senses always seem to be
offended by his surroundings and
his aloof, despairing dignity in q
world populated entirely by morons
Is wonderful to see.
The picture Of suburban family
life presented by Sitting Pretty" is
a fine and comic one. Director
Walter Lang and Mr.. Herbert may
have overdrawn 1t a bit, but not
noticably. There certainly is moth
ing abnormal about these two loud,
lusty boys and their loud, Iusty dog;
nor about the small one who man
ages to climb into disaster while
mama Is on the telephone; nor
about the toys piled dangerously in
the driveway.
Robert Young and Maureen
O'Hara, whose performances are
splendid, have every look of q nor
NAL man and wife, too. They and
Mr.. Lang have made the domestic
scenes Of Sitting Pretty" both gaily
funny and as much like life itself
as the movies get with this sort Of
thing.
Mr.. Lang, as a matter Of fact, has
not missed q comic opportunity in
his direction of Sitting Pretty"
He has drawn the most possible
comedy from every. situation set up
by Mr.. Herbert and he has played
both lines and characters for fur
ther laughs.
The best of the supporting charac-
ters is Richard Haydn. Mr.. Haydn
is top-notch as the iris-breeding
leading gossip of Hummingbird Hill.
The macabre venting of Mr.. Belve-
dere's wrath upon him, after Mr..
Belvedere turns out to be the author
of a book ridiculing Hummingbird
Hills residents, is something diabolic
to see. Louise Allbritton, Ed Beg
ley, John Russell, Betty Ann Lynn
and Grayce Hampton are others

Now comes Viveca Lindfors, trim,
full-lipped daughter Of Sweden, to
register love and fear in q Holly
wood film that should please Ingrid
Bergman.
ITO the Victor" the current War
ner presentation, was not made to
prove point to Miss Bergman. It
was intended to set Miss Lindfors
to work earning her first swimming
pool hollywood pool, that is-she
may have made her final payment
on one in Sweden long ago.. But
it should make Miss Bergman happy
the way her countrywoman has
been treated.
The fair Inrid doesn't hold with
escapism on the screen. There is
barely a scintilla OF it in ITO the
Victor" It is q love story. but .
chillding one-a tableau Of pathetic
passion dampened by the clinging
fog OF uneasiness enveloping the
world.
Miss Lindfors' acting assignment
Is that of the wife Of q former
French Na1 collaboration. The self
assured husband, finally brought to
the Paris Of today to stand trial, al
ready is planning new betrayals to
other interests, and his cohorts are
trying to make certain his wife
won't testify against him.
There is the evil-faced, icy man
with a gun, and Miss Lindfors run
ming. There is the shot, a lucky
miss, and more running. Miss Lind
fors is supposed to be frightened.
and she is convincing. She runs
into Dennis Morgan, and love is
born. Miss Lindfors in love also is
convincing on the screen. It's a
relatively unspectacular piece of
work to give an experienced actress,
which Miss Lindfors Is, however, 80
this Aim is hardly q valid gauge to
the probable rate of ascendancy OF
her star.
Dennis Morgan, placid of face, as
usual, still manages to act like the
American ex-serviceman embroiled
in French black market operations
he is supposed to be.
There's fine chacterization by
Victor Francen, playing the en-
bittered police inspector, to whom
the only spoils of victory seem to
be a moral decay and. the chance
to build new driveways to Mars
old ctiarnal house. utifprtunatoFys.
M TAncen has to hep aeayer the
