therhood came twice last Feb. 10

of Brooklyn-but her sons are
not twins, medically speaking.
A rarity. the births resulted
from parallel conceptions in dual,
separate wombS, according to
her physician, DR.. Isaac Dia-

one womb.
The boys were born 16 hours
apart, first a four-pound, eight

Both now weigh more than five

1t is necessarily an agitated
affair which involves the cal
loused surgeon and the dewy
nurse in the film. Bogart's man
has been there a long time. He
regards time as one dimensional,
limited to the present instant.
Whether he is operating on
wounder soldier or Miss Allyson's
innocent scrupleS, he believes
only in the virtue of haste.
Miss Allyson has a different
sense of time. She is still able
to think in terms of forever. a
temporizing attitude that sets
the surgeons nerves to jangling
more even than the narrowing
demands of his professional
practice.
1t is fairly dramatic represen-
tation of these conflicting tenn
peraments that Miss Allyson and
Bogart manage in Battle Cir

affair is conducted is the kind
that is described as torrid and
Director Berman is clearly con-
cerned with making the most of
it. What he forgets occasionally
is that the most basic conversa-
ton of amour can be tedious
in comparison with war.
