The commander of the Chat

f1cers to conduct today's inquiry
into the sinking. 1t was not to
be a public hearing and names of
the board members were not an
nounced. The Admiralty said
normally five officers sit on such
boards.
Two questions which the in
quiry might take up were:
l. How the Divina happened to
run afoul of the Truculent. Capt.
Karl Hommerberg of the tanker
could not explain. He told a re-
porter he and a local pilot both
were on the bridge.
"It was dark but clear, and we
saw the submarine ahead and
gave warning of our approach" /"
he said.
2. Why SO much time elapsed
before the crash, was reported
time during which many of those
in the water might have been
saved. The Admiralty got it's first
word of the disaster an hour and
20 minutes after it happened. 1t
was a message from a Dutch YES
sci picked up by the North Fore
land radio station and relayed to
Chatham.
The Divina meanwhile was
under arrest in Sheerness Harbor,
detained pending the inquiry.
Marine experts said that If she
were found to blame. her owners
would be liable for the subs loss
and possibly for compensation to
the dependents of the dead. Brit
aims law would limit this liability
to 18 pounds sterling (about $500
ton.
Sinking of the Truculent was
the greatest peacetime British
submarine disaster since the sink
ing of the submarine Thetis in
June 1889. That catastrophe in

"All About Eve" is basically a
stab-in- -the-back story in which
all backs are equally fair game.
Among the cleaning stilettos, that
welded by Eve is the one that
commands the eye. This involves
two acting masterpieces, by Miss
Davis as the highly vulnerable
older actress, Miss Baxter as the
viperish young one posing as the
other woman's humblest disciple.
The Academy may have to du-
plicate its awards for the battle
these two wage. 1t RACES in every
corner of theater life, Uttered
dressing rooms, crowded cafes,
private pantries where party
guests retreat for their strangely
private purposes. and country
homes to which the dazzling pub
lie pets retire to escape break
downs.
There is expert-perhaps too
much expert-contrast in the per-
sonalities of the principal COM
batants. Miss Davis girl is an
experienced tigress, Miss Baxter's
a silkily evil climber.
Every situation, every detail of
neurotic character in "All About
Eve" is played with a quality of
diabolic energy and skill. Man
kiewicz and his players are people
thoroughly familiar with their
subject, keen enough to play every
CLINT of it for the laugh it con-
tains. The high comedy level they
hit is not without it's f1eeting fla
vor of poignance, but they never
lose sight of the fact that show
business is a funny business.
The relish to make "All About
Eve" as complete at is is real is
the pictures only weakness. This
is that once started, no one knew
exactly where to stop this Holly
wood joke at Broadway's expense.
Yet, even though the film runs
almost 2 hours and 20 minutes.
there is less justification for stop
ping it short than in the case of
any other production this year.
1t is good to the last poisonously
witty drop. $

out OF its hiding place to pay It's
respects to one of the most bril-
liant pieces of satire the camera
has ever recorded. OF the satirists
involved, Bette Davis, Ann Baxter
and Celeste Holm are the best OF
those in front of the "All About
Eve" cameras. The man back OF
it, however, is the basically i'm
portant figure in the films pro-
duction.
He is Joseph Mankiewicz ("Let-
ter to Three Wives" etc. who
wrote and directed this acidly
humorous story of backstage life
in the legitimate theater.
It is highly probable that Man
kiewicz and his associates will
snatch most of the years movie
awards out of the hands which
have seemed to be holding them
so securely until "All About Eve"
was released. Like a home run in
the ninth inning with the bases
full, it makes earlier heroics seem
unimportant.

Cali About Eve" has an unbeat-
ably dramatic setting. This is
Broadway, that one-word label for
New York's theater district.
In this area of glamorous dress
ing rooms, glittering stages, smart
cafes and brittle humans, Man
kiewicz tells the story of two ac-
tresses and the turbulent world
they live in. H. -
Senior of these is Margo tMiss
Davis, a great star whose private
life is a gaudily open book. The
other, Eve miss BaXter) is an
aspirant to Margo's dizzy pin
nacle, a girl who works her way
into the great stars favor with
the crafty purpose pushing her
into oblivion.
In telling all about Eve, Man
kiewicZ introduces almost a dozen
brilliant samples of the neuro-
tic personalities which dominate
show business.
This is hilariously indicative

actor; and a host of lesser de-
votees of the theater's mad magic,
including its audiences.
In this adultly drawn gallery
of the theater's top-hight humans,
all of them unforgettable, only
two have the faintest touch of the
