SUSPENSE FILM
 NOW ON SCREEN
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Suspense reaches the gasping point at the 20th Century Theatre where Sorry, Wrong Number a murder chiller with an entirely new slant, made an suspicious local debut.
 Co-starring Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster. Sorry, Wrong Number" is a by-shriek pie ture of the encroachment of mur- der. It compels its audience to shrink in common horror with woman who early in the story overhears her death being plotted and, in an hour and a half of helpless borri- fication, awaits her end.
 Burt Lancaster does a fine job as Miss Stanwyck's husband, man from the wrong side of the tracks strong on the outside. but weak within, the victim of his frustra- tions. The supporfing cast. headed by Ann Richards, Wendell Corey. and Harold vermilyea, is also to be high ly commended
