THE MIRACLE OF THE BELLS" an

II the motion-picture version OF
"The Miracle of the Bells" is any
thing like a faithful translation of
Russell Janney's novel of the same
name, it is Woeful commentary on
the likes of people who read best
selling fiction. The more consoling
thought is that the new film at
Keith's just doesn't do Mr.. Janney's
work proper justice. 1t is a cluttered
cinema yarn, wavering between
sloppy sentimentality and the brink
of bad taste.
1t is notable, possibly solely, for
introducing in Aida Valli, an Ital-
ian film star Of what seems to be
considerable talent and what surely
is considerable beauty. Valli, as
her movie bosses prefer her to be
known, is called upon to play a girl
named Olga Treskovna, who is
driven by an inner force to, play
Joan of Arc before she died of
tuberculosis, thus to shed some
beauty on the lives of her former
neighbors in a place called Coal
Town, Pa. She manages this with
out ever looking foolish, which is no
inconsiderable feat, and she always
presents dynamic personality.

ing Czech child star, Ivan Jandl, 10,
gives perfect response to the appar-
emily basic direction of the film,
namely to let the story speak for
itself. 1t speaks thus in every detail
as much in the bleak wreckage of its
German stage as in the best mo-
ment of its acting.
THE Search" might have been q
sad picture. Most of its basic ma
terial Is starkly tragic. Nevertheless
in its climactic moment and in SO
many along the route it is humorous
and triumphant. Some of its comedy
passages will never be forgotten.
The basic script Of "The Search"
deals with the appalling task con-
fronting UNRRA and the Interna-
national Relief Organization in
sorting, sitting, and, if possible,
matching the human ruins among
Europe's rootless millions.
For this purpose, this almost un-
imaginable process, the Playhouse's
picture reaches down to the smallest
common denominator. He is little
Czech lad, played by young Jandl.
Terror and loneliness have robbed
him of the power of speech when
the Americans pick him up in Ger
many. From babyhood, he has
wandered apart from civilized hu-
manity.
The American ambulance which
comes to take him to a rest camp
where he may be restored is a
horrible reminder of the vehicles
the Germans used to cart victims
to crematoriums and gas chambers.
He fees and hides among the
wreckage of the German city until
a gentle CT picks him up, starving,
and awakens his dying faith in
adults with food and kindness.
The relationship Of the tortured
little boy and the CT, played by
Montgomery Cliff, comprises the
body of the picture. It is packed
with drama. Much of this has to
do with the tormented process of
inspiring the child's faith. The most
comic of it is concerned with the
GI'S effort to teach the child enough
English to permit them to COM
municate, to exchange the minimum
OF ideas that might offer hope for
the solution Of their common prob
lem.
1t is deep and beautiful affec-
ton that grows between these two,
and 1t Is used dramatically to
sharpen the suspense of the search
for the child's mother. Eventually,
II the quest to find her is success
tul, there must be choice between

touching, but essentially happy
story of The Search" He and his
associates, principally Americans,
although their child star is an
amazing Czech youngster, have not
made foreign picture, except as to
background, which is Germany.
Instead. they have male a univer-

"The Search" might well be set
down as the greatest love story ever
told on the screen; a love that re-
united two tragic atoms, a boy and
his mother, in the ruined charnel
house Of Europe. Nothing could be
more profoundly moving, real and
plausible. 1t restores, ones faith in
love as the greatest Of human forces,
the one that can step in after hate
has strangled itself to death.
WeSchler's picture, directed by
Fred zimmerman, accomplishes this
by resort to underplaying that is
incredibly brilliant. Even the amaz-

materials for industry. Norwe-

gar, coffee and tea are rationed,
but the rations for hotels and res
taurants are so large that they
are able to serve both excellent
food and large portions. Foreign
tourists are required to give up
ration coupons for only butter and
bread and are allowed special ra-
ton cards that give them the right
to purchase larger quantities OF
butter and bread, almost twice the
ration permitted the Danish public.
During the German occupation a
number of hotels were destroyed,
and the shortage of building mate
rial has so far prevented the build
ing of new hotels to any extent.
But in Copenhagen and in the
larger provincial towns the tourist
associations have established
Room Information Offices. Thus,
in Copenhagen, the Tourist AS
ISOLATION lists some 1000 private
rooms that are let primarily to
Danish tourists so as to release
and reserve that many more hotel
rooms to foreign visitors.
Moreover, Danish hotels are
more than ever interested in re-
serving rooms for foreign guests
since they are granted extra food
ALLEGATIONS in proportion to the
percentage of rooms reserved for
foreign visitors.

The number of visitors to Den
mark during 1947 reached IS per
cent of the prewar average, &C
cording to the Danish Information
Office. Danish tourist statistics
also show that the total number
of days spent by foreign visitors
in Denmark in 1947 was a little
larger than in 1889. Foreign Wis
itors appear to stay somewhat
longer in the country they visit. 2
Visa requirements for American
citizens, and for those of certain
other countries, have been abol-
ished; and largely through the eff
forts of the Danish Tourist Associ-
alton it is expected that one-half
of available hotel rooms in Co.
penhagen, and similarly proper
ton of hotels in the provincial
towns, will be reserved for foreign
visitors during the 1913 season.
In return such hotel-keepers, and
restaurants catering to foreign
tourists, are to receive larger ra-
tions of food than is allowed the
Danish public.

Despite fuel difficulties, the
Danish State Railways and private
railways reached in 1947 their
highest postwar capacity so far
namely SIS per cent of normal
compared with rs per cent in 1916.
There has been considerable i'm
provement also in train connec-
tions from Denmark southwards.
In the summer of 1916, connection
with Paris was only by the North
Express three times a week, but
during the 1947 season both the
North Express and the Scandi-
navian Express, which was put on
the run in the fall of 1916, have
been running daily. The North
Express now carries through
sleeping cars and coaches to Basic
and Ostend, and the Scandinavian
Express to the Hook of Holland.
Shipping, too, has surmounted
some of its postwar difficulties in
Denmark. Several old routes
have been re-opened, including the
Gothenburg- Frederikshavn; Larvlk
Norway -Frederikshavn. an d
Kristianssand Norway -Hirtshals.
A few new routes are expected to
be started, including an Arendal-
Grenaa.
Even greater progress has been
made in Danish air traffic. The

has been considerably extended. To
this has come the opening of the
routes of the SAS Scandinavian

use by various foreign airways of

ate station. Traffic at the other
Danish air fields also has increased
