I Walk Alone at Warner
Relic of the Racket Era
By Jay cormody

I Walk Alone which yesterday at the Warner based
upon play which lasted Broadway

mixers.

way for the conflict to shape and
resolve itself. It is the same old
routine Of fighting over the same
women, sinister maneuvering in con-
nection with the account books,
and recruiting the old gangs OF
triggermen to insure triumph.
The least feeble Of the scenes
which Bryson Haskin has directed
is a showdown session In which the
tycoon and the gangster meet In
the formers Office to discuss final
terms. A spot or two Of drama
does intrude into the picture at
this point, taking the form Of
Lancaster's bewilderment when he
is told that whisky handling today
is pious profession, not the crime
it was in 1888.
Miss Scott, who somehow manages
to sustain the faith Of Producer
Wallis regardless Of her effect upon
others, plays another one of those
slowly rising columns of smoke that
is sometimes mistaken for an al
Turing female. In the flash of q
second, without registering the
slightest sign of emotion, she can
switch her presumably deadly af-
lection from one male to another
It is, perhaps, the least convincing
performance any tall blond reed
of a girl ever gave, but II Walk
Alone" Is constantly placing its
full dependence upon it. That Is
a grave mistake.
Another mistake common to such
melodramas is their assumption that
If every one talks in four or five
word sentences 1t will conceal the
fact that there really is not much
action in them. Gangsters and
their danes are a crafty lot, icy
cold in their every movement.
In II Walk Alone" they are so
cold 1t sometimes seems as if they
never are going to move again.

THE FLAME" q Republic Picture,
produced and directed by John II. Auer,

story BY Robert T. Shannon. At the

Evening star., 1948-01-16

If there is one thing proved by
"The Flame" which opened yes
terday at the Metropolitan, it is
that the playing Of a dramatic
role before the. motion picture cam
eras calls for something beyond a
talent for ice skating. The feni-
nine star of "The Flame" Is Vera
Ralston, who cut many q fancy
figure In her ice skating days, but
who is no match for the PAGES she
Is put through in this film.
For that matter, neither the
other principals John Carroll and
Robert Paige) nor the Producer
Director (John H. Auer) have been
able to do much with Lawrence
Kimble's screenplay. A pair OF
supporting players ~ Broderick
Crawford as a would-be black
mailer and Constance Dowling as
a brassy night club singer-manage
to present lively types, but q pair
of diverting characters alone dg
not make a photoplay.
1.-THE Flame" is one of those un-
fortunate affairs, q suspense film
which,, except for few moments
managed by Mr.. Auer, lacks the
quality Of suspense. Miss Ralston
sets out to portray q girl in love
with Carroll, who narries his dying
wealthy half brother (Paige) so she
will have, a dowry on his decease
to lay before her love. He's the
wastrel one, who supports a neat
but gaudy apartment at Hamp-
shire House without benefit Of in
come, which Is a neat trick. =.

the-way theaters, their praises un-
sung, but this week the Capitol
Theater has one and we heartedly
commend it to you. II you can't
laugh at this one, you're really
gloomy. It's name is Intrigue"
and that's what it is about, all
right-intrigue. It's star Is George
Raft, but that does not matter be-
cause it would not have been q
good picture anyway. It's co-star
is June Havoc, in whom Producer
Sam Bischof has discovered an
actress who is a match for Mr..
Raft In batting dramatic scene
back and forth as II 1t were a soggy
ping-pong ball. She also has. one
expression-blank.
Well, it seems this character
played by Raft, has been an Army
pilot until cashiered on account
of smuggling deal in which he
was not involved and he now has
taken UP smuggling in revenge.
Also in Shanghai. Black market
big shots abound in Intrigue"
The one Raft attaches himself to
as a business partner is named
Tamara Baranoff, who, as played
by Miss Havoc, is twice as in-
sciutable as the Shanghai natives,
who have reputation for inscruta-
bility. AS a matter Of fact, what
with Miss Havoc, Raft and the story
itself, Intrigue" probably is the
most irlserutable picture you'll see
all year.
While becoming wealthy as a
black marketeer, Raft runs afoul
of the usual assortment Of sadistic
williams and has his life complicated
by q reporter friend who Is writing
an expose of the black markets
of Shanghai and by a girl who picks
him UP in a bar and says she
is Miss Arnold, though she really is
Linda Parker. That Is all the plot
you are going to get out of us.
If Director Edwin L. Marin could mt
figure out what this was all about,
and he obviously couldn't, or didn't
try, you can't expect us to do it,
Whatever else it is, Intrigue"
manages to be quite an ad for
Haig & Haig scotch. Early in the
film, Raft deposits a bottle of the
stuff on that fancy bar where Miss
Arnold who really is Linda Parker
picks him up. st haven't passed

tender (played by j. c. Flippen)

there is where Raft makes his

knocking off one slug Of the stuff
and then going OF to- an intrigue.
He should have sat right there
until loaded, then gone to bed, and
every one would have been better
off.

Score of 23-O

The Pascagoula Painters will
take on another Mobile team to-
night when they meet the Nc
Gill High School Yellowjackets
at 8 pm. at the new War Mem
orial Stadium on Market Street.
The Panthers suffered their
second straight defeat of the
season last Friday night when
they lost a $50 tussle to Murphy
High School of Mobile, in a game
played on the latter's gridiron.
The game marked the third
straight triumph of the season for
the Mobile team.
A big factor in the Murphy win
was Johnnie Howell, quarter
back, who not only did a good
job of running the team and
played an outstanding defensive
game, but who also tossed passes
that accounted for two of his
teams three touchdowns.
After a s~coreless first period
Howell tossed to Julius Haired
mann on a 59-yard touchdown
play that broke the visitors back.
After this pass the Pascagoula
club were put in a hole and never
were able to scramble out and
get back in the ball game.
%Pascagoula had pecked away
at the Murphy forward wall for a
couple of first downs in the mi
tial period but never was able to.
get within striking distance Of
the Panthers' goal line. In the
second quarter the visitors quick
kicked and the ball rolled dead
on the Murphy 21-yard line.

kick, kicking out of bounds, near
the goal line. j. T. Shepherd
