touching one by Yvonne Nit

first starring role for Miss Nit
chell, young veteran of the Old
Vic, who will be a favorite movie
star of a lot of people before
very long. She has beauty, per-
sonality and she can act, which

Of these qualities. at most.
Turn the Key Softly" also
boasts some superb photography
of the hustle of London life that
ranks among the best of this
sort Of thing you've seen. It
lends a fine flavor of autheh-
ITCHY to the melodrama.
The story recounted by Di-
rector Lee and his players is
something Of a three-way
stretch. It's central figures are
three women freshly released
from prison. The likelihood that
any or all of them may wind
up right back there accounts
for some suspense that becomes
fairly agonizing before the end
of the Macarthur film.
The eldest of the three
kathleen HarriSon) is pitt
able grandmother rejected by
her family because of weak
ness for shoplifting. The fash
lest (Joan Collins) is a Plea
dilly playgirl convinced she is
ready for the quiet domestic
life with the bus conductor she
is going to marry. The most
refined (Miss Mitchell) is girl
who fell in love with the wrong
man and got herself involved
in a robbery.
You owe it to yourself to dis
cover how they get along in the
outside world. It isn't easy and
Miss Collins and Miss Harrison
provide some touching moments
in their struggles with tempta-
ton. Miss Mitchelps struggles
are not with her conscience, but
with that old lover, who fled and
remained free while she went to
prison. He gives her some sweet
talk about going straight and in
no time at all she finds herself
being involved in another
robbery.
Here Scenarists Cowan and
Lee bring in a different sort of
suspense, by way of a breath
taking pursuit Of the villain on
rooftop, theater sign and high
building cornices. Terence Nor
gan plays the quarry most eff
fectively and the cameraman
has given the chase a great deal
of pictorial excitement.
Turn the Key Softly" may
leave you a little limp, but you'll
enjoy it.

man. may run shallow in terms
OF the originals drama. but
Warner Bros. have seen to 1t
that it covers every inch Of the
huge CinemaScope screen.
{ Moreover, the figures in the
expansive romantic tapestry are
such recognizable ones as Rex
Harrison. Virginia Mayo. George
Sanders and Laurence Harvey,
among others. Save for Harri-
son, these give black and white
performances which stand out
as such in spite of the vivid
colors in which the film trenches
them.

as if the actor were occasionally
getting him confused with
Mayor Hague or Tennessee's
Boss Crump. In such Christian
company, Harrison's heather
Sultan Sala6in is a paragon of
not only virtue but subtlety.
Clearly he deserves the Holy
Grail which is the trophy for
which he and the crusaders are
competing.
All the elements of a big
screen sizzler are present in John
Twists adaptation of "The Tall
isman." From 1871 to 1854. the
script implies politics were never
dirtier than in the ranks of
Richard. Everybody hated every
body with the exceptions of Sir
Kenneth of Huntington and SAL
adm, who not only liked each
other but loved the same girl,
Edith Plantagenet.
These rampant rivalries, for
power and a pretty girl, give Di-
rector David Butler almost too
much homicidal energy to con-
troll in the big Warner opus. At
times his solution seems to be
just to let the cameras grind UNI
til they reach a spot where he
can set a couple of actors joust-
ing with the weapons that were
deadliest when knighthood was

Among these heavily armored
humans, dressed by Eurepe's

So these fixed costs" plus the

Rev. Ralph Rogers To Preach
On The Loyal Lover Sunday
in the

Love is the most abused and
most misunderstood word in the
world. II is used by the charlatan
to wheedle securities from the I'm.
suspecting widow, by the philan-
derer to corrupt the virtuous, by
the hyprocrite to deceive his
neighbor (but not God).
Love is a reciprocal affection
rather than . passion whereby
each participant respects the well
fare of the other.
Since God first loved us, the
loyal lover respects the purpose
Of such affection and seeks to be
worthy OF such choice relationship.

Sunday morning at eleven o.
clock, at the Church of the Rock,
the Rev. Ralph Rogers viii preach
on THE Loyal Lover.
Mrs. William Robinson will be
at the piano and besides special
music, there win be a list of old
gospel hymns which the congrega-
ton enjoys.
Visitors win find most cordial
welcome when worshipping with
this congregation.
Mr.. Rogers says of this subject
which he has chosen, that it is the
secret Of Christian living and hap
pinesS. The atheistic governments
which have ruled God out Of con-
sideration, propose a world of ha.
tired, the anti-thesis of love.

@. How many species of sharks

land.
A. The number of sharks defin-
itely, proven to have attacked men
are few. The great White shark
or man eater, Carcharodon, the
tiger shark Galeocerdo, and the
hammer heads, Sphyrna, are all
known to attack swimmers on oc-
casions, as has the remarkable
freshwater shark, Carcharinus, Of
Lake Nicaragua. Other sharks,
which should be regarded with
suspicion, are lemon shark, Hy-
oprion, the great blue shark, Pri-
onace, the mako shark, IsuruS, and
certain of the larger ground sharks
belonging to the genus Carcharinus
and related to Lake Nicaragua
species. An uninjured swimmer
may consider himself relatively
safe in water, unless he encounters
one of the larger more dangerous
species. An injured and bleeding
person, on the other hand, is in
much greater danger from large
and small species alike. An I'M
usual accident involving a student
of Marine Biology of the Univers-
ity Of Miami occurred in the Flori-
da Keys and was witnessed by
several persons. The student was
bitten without provocation on the
upper part of the thigh by a shark
pa feet in length. Although the
shark was not positively identified,

shark, Ginglymostoma, a species
commonly considered as harmless
to man. The small wound healed
quickly without complications.
