By Harry Macarthur

The French just can't look upon
"a pleasant. if extracurricular,
seduction as a bleak tragedy. If
they try to do it, they can't for the
life of them make you believe their.
sincerity. Consequently such mo-
ton picture as "LAffaire." at the
Little. is likely to have a hard time
making up it's mind just what it
wants to do.
"L'Affaire," which is about one
all right, goes off in several
different directions. It starts out
and spends a great deal of time
being a moderately bright Gallo
farce about a pianist who meets
the wife of an old schoolmate on
"a train to Paris and woos her
He woos her for two
hours with piano. tells her she
can claim she arrived on later
train. then plies her with food.
champagne and Latin music, and
before she knows it she is waking
up in strange surroundings and 1t
is tomorrow.
Along about this point, "LAf-
faire" decides not to be Gallo
farce any more, but can't make
up it's mind whether it should be
IA French realistic tragedy or
French version of one of those
British comedies where everybody
lis sophisticated and decent about
lit all. 1t compromises by becoming
straight American soap opera. Will
GATHERINGS one misstep be fatal?
Will Georges toss her out of the
house? Tune in tomorrow for the
next soul-drenching episode.
Naturally. all of this reaches a
conclusion eventually, and that is
pure Warner Bros:
This lasts longer than you wish
lit would at the time. so there is
no point in boring you with the
"details. However, as the French
cooks have a way with corned beef
hash, so do French movie makers
have a way with such a cinematic
stew as this. "L'Affaire" Is not
without its saving graceS.
Director E. E. Reinert has given
lit a number of bright touches here
and there, and you ought to enjoy
almost everything Anne Vernon
does during her impersona ton of
| a faithful wife seduced against her
will. Claude Dauphin, as the
glamorous pianist, and Henri
Guisol, as the wronged husband,
have their moments, too, even if
they can't hide a disbelief that
such an affaire would cause all this
commotion.

Days of Your Life" the small, WELL
acted charmer which opened yes
terday at the Plaza Theater. In
this sportive fancy a group of high
spirited players led by Alastair
Sim and Margaret Rutherford
show how amusing it is to blend
the student bodies of one exclusive
boys and one exclusive girls
school.
The tolerantly amused sug-
gestion of the film is that this
could happen only under a La
Dor government, but whatever the
cause, it makes merry mishap
A few mistakes such as this by
other bureaucracies might en-
courage fretful citizens to believe
they are human and humorous,
two good impressions for any gov
eminent to create.
Even when it is pulled out very
thin, which happens once in a
while, 1.-THE Happiest Days of
Your Life" is a recommendable
joke. Quite chucklesome, alto

INutbourne opens its new term
with two sets of students and two
faculties, which not only over
taxes its facilities but overwhelms
the elderly heads of both institu-
tons.
What actually happens is pretty
lmuch what everyone would expect
It's merit as delightful entertain
ment is the fashion in which it is
brought off under the direction OF
Frank Launder. AS well he might
to make his comedy comic, Laun-
der focuses his cameras mainly
upon Sim and Miss Rutherford
They are a doughty pair of fight
lers. with Sim handicapped by a
iStreak of gallantry which tempts
him into the trap of being cour-
teous to an enemy who exploits all
weaknesses in her opponents.
While this duel of wits is going
on, the Junior members of both
faculties are inclined to much
more happy attitude Both Nut
bourne and st. SWithin's have
segregated the sexes with such
ferocity that the younger teachers
welcome the Ministry of Educa-
TONS mistake. AS a matter. of
fact, the welcome is so enthusi-
astic that it almost results in the
abandonment of biology courses
during the period of the enforced
merger.
The dramatic effects of mixing
the sexes on the student level are
not particularly exploited in THE
Happiest Days of Your Life" The
theory here is that the natural in
difference of junior misses and
juniors takes care of this situation
except as it involves a pitched
battle now and then for dor
mitory and athletic facilities.
The conflicts here are deemed
of less comic consequence than
the other two, a sound enough
judgment which leaves the field
mostly to Sim and Miss Ruther-
ford.

AS the addle- Drained headmas-
ter confronted by an memorable
fate in the shape of Miss Ruther-
ford. Sim creates an amusing por-
trait of what Mr.. Chips might
have been in an equally desperate
situation. This is a man who had
achieved the far edge of middle
age without incident to suddenly
find himself caught between an
inept government and a man-eat-
ing headmistress.
| Next to these, the comedy pair
which stands out in 1.-THE Happiest
Days of Your Life" are the sports
heads of the two faculties. The

Grenfell, is a wondrous imitation
of the lanky. off-handed girl
caught in the wistful business OF

toner of the doctrine that males

ably masculine.

Captain China
 5tar's Sunday
 Al 2OIh Century

An action-packed tale of adven- ture on the high seas, Paramount's Captain China" Pine-Thomas production opens Sunday at the 20th Century Theatre. Heading the films brilliant cast are John Payne, Gail Russell, Jeffrey Lynn, Lon Chaney, Edgar Bergen and Michael O'Shea.
 Said to boast two of the most violent sequences ever filmed = raging typhoon and a vicious fight between Payne and Clancy - Captain China is likely to be re- membered as one of the great sea classics of all time, veteran observers agree.
 Usually called upon to portray light romantic leads, Payne is given an abrupt change of pace in the picture As the tough, two-fisted skipper of a tramp steamer. more concerned with argo.than with wo- men but still able to find time for the latter, he gives rousing per- formance according to previewers.
 Gail Russell, one of Hollywood's busiest actresses, is teamed for the second time with Payne. Previously the two were seen together in 'El Paso." As the love interest in Cap tain China" she is said to surpass anything she has done before.
 Handsome Jeffrey Lynn, a prom ising young star before the war, gets his most important role since his discharge from service in the picture. And, according to advance reports, his exciting portrayal should please the faithful and win him a host of new fans.
 Rehemoth- Lon Clancy long has been recognized as one of the screens leading "menaces" and is said to enhance that reputation in 1 Captain China" Preview critics also praised the performances of Michael O'Shea and Edgar Bergen who makes one of his rare appear ances without Charlie Mccarthy.

Big Western Drama Sunday af Capitol Theatre

Photographed in T e c h n icolor against vivid backgrounds of the Colorado Rockies, M-G-M's Ven geance Valley" opening tomorrow at the Capitol Theatre, is one of the years outstanding Western dramas. It has an all-star cast, an absorb ing love story and trigger-quick action permeating every reel of it's fast-moving narrative.
 Burt Lancaster and Robert Walker personify the conflicting forces in two-fisted tale of two foster brothers who have grown up to- gether on prosperous Colorado cattle ranch of the early West, with Lancaster playing Owen Daybright and Walker seen as Lee Strobie.
 Owen has gotten the irresponsible Lee out of scrapes since their child hood days and, when the latter gets Lily (Sally Forrest, local waitress, into trouble, Owen attempts to pre- vent Lees wife, Jen (Joanne DrO from discovering the truth. He also interferes with the attempts of Lily's averaging brothers to track down their sisters seducer.
 Lee, however, jealous of the friendship between his wife and fos- ter-brother, persuades Lily's broth CTS that owen is the man they are after, and the story's exciting climax takes place amid scenes of tense gun-play and spectacular cattle roundup. ending with Ower's vim dication.
 Much of the distinction 4. this super-W Western is due to it's ne act ing portrayals. Lancaster gives an impressive performance as the virile Owen, always ready to back up his sense of justice with his fists Walker, usually seen as the jovial hero of light comedies proves him. self equally convincing as the neer- do-well Lee. Joanne Dru is excel lent as the disillusioned wife and Sally Forrest offers warmly sym pathetic portrayal of the abandoned Lily. ssFs3a

Surgeon Removes 3H2 Pound
Tumor From Mans Heart

CINCINNATI. -tAP)-A Cincin-
natl surgeon has told of the
successful removal recently of a
3 = pound tumor from the heart
of Charles F. Dabney. d5.
The tumor was said by local
surgeons to be the largest ever
removed from a heart. Only one
other similar operation has been
successful, they said.
Name of the surgeon was with
heald at his request.
Dabney has returned to his po-
sition as industrial gas engineer
for the Cincinnati Gas and Elec-
trio Co.
Doctors all over the country
are making a study of the oper-
alton and a complete and highly
technical history of the case is
being published soon in medical
journal.
Dabney told "A reporter he was
always fatigued and went to a
doctor.
Fluorscopic and dye" examin-
ations disclosed the hearts shad-
ow was eight times its normal
size.
BY injecting dyes into the
heart, physicians were able to
outline the heart and separate its
shadow from the foreign body to
which il was attached.
1t was then the huge formation
was diagnosed as tumor.
Since the tumor extended al
most completely across pabney's
chest, the inefSion was begun on
the right side near the shoulder
and extended down his side to
the rib bed and around to the
back.
A rib was removed from the
right side of the patient, enabl-
ing the surgeon to enter the
chest cavity through the rib bed.
Then, step-by-step the huge
growth was cut away from the
vital organ until it was complete
ly free and could be lifted from
the patient.
1t took two and a half hours
to complete the operation, and
30 stitches to close the incision.
