THAT MAN WALLACE"

There are signs that the rum
pus in the south over Truman's
civil rights bill will gradually
subside, because northern Re-
publicans are beginning to shy
away from the measure and the
whole thing may be shelved.
In that event, it is probable
that southern Democrats will, in
a measure, forget and grudgingly
vote for Truman rather than see
the southern states go Republi-
can.
But the fly in the ointment, so
far as Democratic prospects are
concerned, is "that man Wal
Lace, the independent candidate
for President. Public opinion
polls show that Wallace is max
ing heavy inroads in the northern
states, particularly in the big
cities among the Negroes and the
boys on the other side of the rail
road tracks, and that over two
thirds of his support comes from
people who say they voted DEM
ocratic in 1914. --latest polls gave
Wallace ii per cent in New York
state, 10 per cent in California
anr per cent in Pennsylvania
and Illinois.
No, it isn't the Southern rebels
that Truman has to fear. It is
Wallace and his running mate,

ming, singing cowboy from the
West.

zone Sunday Afternoon" which
has had success as a Broadway play,
as q radio drama and as a motion
picture called strawberry Blond"
is back again. This newest version
has reverted to the original in title
and departed from it in form to be-
come one Of those period musicals
Gin Technicolor), with the accent on
nostalgia. You will find it at the
Warner.
Zone Sunday Afternoon" is not
completely unsuccessful attempt at
creating that nostaglic mood for
which 1t strives, but neither is it
completely successful. Dennis Nor
gan, Janis Paige, Don before, Ben
Blue and Dorothy Malone. especially
Dorothy Malone, give it yeoman
service, all right. Director Raoul
Walsh has made it a pretty, Christ
mas-cardy production, too. But the
score is an unimpressive one and
the director or his script have al
lowed the film occasional long

gay and as clearly made for each
other as two people could be. Their
affinity starts when Lark comes into
the Dane household as quivering-
Tipped, brave, proud little girl who
has just been orphaned by train
wreck. 1t ends only in their deaths
at a great old age, but it is never
rewarded by marriage. Through the
mad devices Of Roland's older sister,
this love is denied its way save as
it serves ultimately as inspiration OF
two youngsters who might have
committed the same folly.
Nostalgia is prettily dramatic in
"Enchantment." The loves of Miss
Wright and Niven, and of Farley
Granger and Evelyn Reyes who are
two generations removed, cover a
long period in Londons dignified
patrician residential district.
So the picture shows not merely
how it was in one of these homes on
Wiltshire Crescent, but how it was
going with the Empire with which
the Danes, Ingoldspys, and others
were dramatically identified.
The time was essentially mellow
one and could have been happy save
for Spinster Selma Danes jealousy

It is probable that you have come
face-to-face with "One Sunday
Afternoon" before now. In its new
est guise 1t still is the same story
of the young man who sees the girl
he thinks he loves walk off with the
man he thinks is his friend. He mar
ries his loves girl friend awhile later
and awhile after this finds himself
in prison as the fall guy of an enter
prise conducted by his friend" Out
of prison and an accredited mail
order dentist, he sets himself up in
practice and one Sunday afternoon
his erstwhile friend turns up with
toothache and a brassily nagging
wife. He has his revenge and counts
his blessings.
When lone Sunday Afternoon" is
focused on the personal drama of
Biff Grimes and his wife it is a
warm bit of movie storytelling,
probably because Miss Malone, who
plays the wife, is an uncommonly
lovely young woman with a lively
personality, who puts zest into her
playing. When 1t is being quaint in
its turn of -the-century way, though,
the film often achieves some mighty
dull moments.
A number of moments, of course,
are saved from dizziness by the pres
ence of Ben Blue, who manages
number of laughs, alone and with
the aid of Dorothy Ford, who is one
of the handsomest tall girls in the
movie business. Mr.. Blue can't do
away completely with the sense
that this must be Zone Sunday Aft
ernoon" in Philadelphia, however,
and neither can Miss Malone,
though, come to think of it, her
presence is enough to make visit
to the Warner not entirely unre-
warding.

toward Lark Ingoldsby and her OBJ
sessive attachment for her brother.
At whatever cost of honor and de-
cency she Is determined that al
though both young Danes love Lark,
neither shall marry her. She Is
successful In this tactic of frustra-
ton, but the wound Is so deep IN
the case of Gen. Sir Roland Dane
that he never marries.
He carries a complete memory OF
her in his heart when World War II
breaks over England, and the in
tensity of its lesson Is such that ne
is able to play cupid successfully to
young Flying Officer Pax Masterson
and Grizel Dane, his grandniece.
"Enchantment" is a quiet picture.
It moves softly through the reveries
of the old general, and almost as
softly through those of the splendid
old butler played by Leo G. Carroll.
It is within the frame OF these
mems memories that Miss Wright
brings Lark back to the old Dane
house. She is always in every ges-
ture the girl they both remembered,
dainty, gay, spirited. worth love
as great and enduring as that eX-
pressed by Actor Niven in his most
engaging role. In comparison, the
Young lovers are hard put to be as
moving, yet in the shadow OF this
greater romance, Miss Reyes and
Granger manage to hold up their
end Of the story.
The lesser performances Of EN-
chantment" are the gems which are
standard in Goldwyn productions.
No gentle, wise old English servant
role has ever been played better
than CAROLS butler; few sisters
more wickedly than Jayne Meadows
plays Selma.
Down to the very bottom OF the
cast indeed, every one is intensely
aware that a picture called En-
chantment" must be enchanting.
Each does his share to make 1t SO.

ture in the method of "Enchant-
ment" the essence of Miss Godden's
novel. Three generations are in
volved in the romantic life of the
house at 80 Wiltshire Crescent in
London. This requires a telescoping
of time, q camera that flashes back
ward and forward from Victoria's
England to that Of her great-grand-
son, George vi. This sort of thing
is not easy on the unities, but Direc-
tor Irving Refs manages somehow
to keep them reasonably intact.
The principal lovers in "Enchant-
ment" are played by Miss Wright
and Niven, and few pairs have been
played with more poignant gayety.
Miss Wright as Lark Ingoldsby
and Niven as Gen. Sir Roland Dane
are humans gifted with an imperish-
able glow. Both are high spirited,
irresistibly charming, infectiously
