British Shops Fired
By Flaming Cats,
Cairo Paper Says
By the Assoeiated Pres.

CAIRO. Egypt, Nov. 1.-THE
newspaper AL Ahram reported to-
day that Egyptian underground
Icommandos sent flaming cats rae
ing through British airport in
the Suez Canal Zone to touch off
fires in several shops.
The paper said the "Ismailia
Commands" wrapped a number
of live cats in oil-soaked rags,
Iignited them and turned them
loose at the airport. While the
blazing cats streaked through the
shops, the paper said, the COM
mandos then cut off the water
supply. Other commandos slipped
into a hangar and set fire to a
plane during the excitement.
At this point, the paper said,
the commandos fired at the Brit
ish soldiers on the field with tom
myguns and then withdrew.
A British military spokesman
said he was investigating the re-
port.

followed by a modernized version
of Rameau's ''Tambourin," tran

numbers showed Mrs. Baggs' gain

her musical feeling.

"At Sea-" from Bloch's Poems of

tive approach. "Capriccio in A

for Liszt's challenging "Mephisto
Waltz" in Busoni's transcription
Mrs. Baggs' program was well re-

Miss Clifford's unforced voice OF
an agreeable low timbre was heard
with best results in Schumann's
"Widmung" which was flattering
to its lyric sweetness. Straight

dramatic as when MISS Darcel is
using it. It takes on not merely
a new piquancy of sound, as in
the words "glamorooose" and
"coolture," but widely vitalized
energy that one never suspected
of it. Where Miss Darcel and the
English language have been to-
gether, nothing ever seems likely
to be the same again.
This is a good thing.
A tape recorder, perhaps, could
keep up with Miss Darcel word for
word. Nothing else could, GER
tainly not the ears of an average
human brought up on the deliber-
ate speech Of other average
humans.
What Miss Darcel leaves is an
impression, not a record of what
she said. 1t is an amusing i'm
preston, however, and this is just
fine.
She was here, for instance, in
connection with the promotion of
an M-G-M picture. Westward,
The Women" in which she is one
of the principal women. She loves
Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer and the
picture, and she loves promoting
picture so dramatic.
But she talked principally about
a Columbia picture, a comedy she
recently made with Glenn Ford
as her costar. If she ever used
the title of the picture, it was
hopelessly lost in the avanlanche
of words. But this man Ford,
this is a great comedian. No one
ever knew he was a great come
dian but now he will be better
than Ray Milland." said Miss
Darcel.
Most actresses would simply
stand on a statement like that.
Not Miss Darcel. She will prove
1t. How? BY acting out one of
the scenes of the comedy she
made with Ford. 1t is scene in
which he knocks on her door as
a bill collector only she thinks he
is a talent scout. Miss Darcel is
not interested in bill collectors,
but she plays girl who has been
waiting for weeks for a talent
scout to turn up. So she acts to
show him what a great actress she
Is, siren sort of actress who re-
duces men to putty.
Suite 500-W at the Statler is
suddenly transformed into a stage.
All the men present become Glenn
Ford. Miss Darcel cajoles them
with smokily caressing voice.
She shows them how she reduces
talent scouts to Darcellian
pulp. 1t is something like game
of touch football, only rougher.
1t is an act of the sort all four
Marx brothers might put on in
one of their most violent moments
and almost as funny.
At the end of it, there is no
doubt at all that this Ford is
great actor. He would have to be
to survive.
