The Count of Monte Cristo and
the Son of Monte Cristo having
had their innings, the Sword of
Monte Cristo carries on the bat
tie against the evildoerS in Mask
of the Avenger," at the Metropoli-
tan. Mask of the Avenger" is
just about what you might ex-
pect of a picture titled Mask of
the Avenger." a rollicking Techni-
color adventure designed more as
a pleasant soporific than as a
plausible entertainment demand
ing some measure of serious at
tention.
Monte Cristo's sword does not
carry on alone. but is waved aloft
by Captain Renato Dimorna (John
|Derek), whose father has been
branded a traitor and murdered
by the infamous military COVER
nor (Anthony QUINN. In addi-
tion to the avenging sword, the
captain has a girl named Maria
(Jody Lowrence) on his side and
you hardly need to be told who
the real villain is or who wins.
There's mo evil in the cinema
world that can triumph over a
young man and pretty
girl. Evil runs this lad and this
lass a merry chase, though. Once
things get under way, Capt. Di-
is at full gallop most of
the time, riding toward a bang
up sword-slashing finale.
No acting tour de force is ever
expected of the participants in
these swashbucklers, but Mr..
Derek. Miss Lawrence, Quinn and
Arnold Moss approach Mask of
the Avenger" in the proper DASH
ing mood. There are a lot of
worse ways to spend warm after

tour, such a pair should take in
more money than South Pacific
or the Bureau of Internal Rive
nue.. That they do not is due
simply to the fact that their char
acters have the weakness of being
unable to "take" any victim for
more than they need to move On
to the next place. This is a nice,
amusing weakness in all well-bred
scoundrels and Miss Carson and
Wilding exploit it to the full in
the Capitols comedy.

The best area of THE Law and
the Lady" is that part reserved
for San Francisco. Here the ur-
bane travellers run into an oil
widow played by Marjorie Main,
Miss Main does her usual comic
caricature of this type. a woman
to whom getting money is a lot
more interesting than having it.
Once she has it, she is required
to live in palace and associate
with people who make her so tired
she spends most of her time soak
ing her feet in the bath tub.
X x X *
Biggest weakness of THE Law
and the Lady" is the enormous
pains it takes to conceal the un-
concealable. It labors always to
suggest the possibility that the
principal characters will not wind
up in each others arms, instead OF
in Jail, where less suave types GER
tainly would find themselves.
Instead of suspense, this merely
gives the Capitol's picture a quail
ity of evaporation, especially in
the final scene which makes any
sane member of the audience
doubt that he will have time to
wait for it.
While Miss Carson is doing her
pest with the title role in The
Law and the Lady" it is Wilding
who is suavely walking away with
the picture. The star of SO many
of these silky things from Eng
land is the master of their every
quick, soft turn, the sort that
makes polished sin look fatally
He is at his best in the
long passage in the film during
which he engages himself as a
butler to Miss Mains rich widow.
This is a standard comedy rela-
but it is so agreeably
played here that it is just about
the best of THE Law and the
Lady"

cast that works on LonSdale's tit
illating dialogue and situations.

This could be the fault of Miss
Carson, Heaven forbid, not be-
cause she does not have an elf1n

looks so perfectly ladylike that
audiences are stunned by her

quite a disadvantage in her ro-

The Wheel Just Stopped

One question in the singular story of the
rise and fall of Theron Lamar Caude is beg
ging for an, answer.
Why in the world was he picked to be an
Assistant Attorney General in the first place?
Mr.. Caudle says he doesn't know. He didn't
seek the appointment and he was surprised
when the then Attorney General Tom Clark
invited him to take the job Il felt like the
wheel just turned around and stopped on me-"
Mr. Caudle explained
Back in July, 1945, Mr.. Caudle was United
States Attorney for the western district of North
Carolina. There is nothing to indicate that his
service during the five years he held that post
was marked by any special distinction. Never
theless, for reasons unknown to him, Mr.. Caudle
was plucked out of the relative obscurity of
that job and moved up in one tremendous Jump
to the highly important post of Assistant Attor-
ney General in charge of the Justice Depart
ment'S criminal division. And later when he
got tired" of handling criminal cases, he took
over the tax division at Mr. Clark's suggestion
This story, in the light of all that has hap
pened is hard to swallow Certainly it is
strange way to select man for a top job in
the enforcement of the Nations laws. Perhaps
Mr.. Caudle really doesn't know why he was
chosen, and those who have been following the
King committees investigation of his activities
are equally at loss to imagine what the reason
could have been. But Mr. Clark does know
And despite the fact that he has moved up to
the Supreme Court, he could render real serv-
ice by letting us all in on the secret.
