It Is an intensive visual educa-
tion course in white slavery that
the screen has given its GUS
toners and the end is not yet.
The latest lesson is embraced
(hardly the wordl in Com
panions of the Night" which
opened yesterday at the Plaza.
This is a French film which ex-
plores the Paris white slave sit
uation and finds it much the
gordid same as elsewhere.
Nevertheless, because he par
ticularizes, Jacques Companeez'
screenscript manages to imbue
the subject with some arresting
colors. He is helped in this by
some touching andlor terrifying
portraits by a cast which is
topped by Francoise Arnoul, a
petite and pretty heroine, and
Raymond Pallegrin as the villain.
Ralph Habib chooses the docu-
Inentary approach in directing
Companions of the Night" and
while it is generally effective it
might have ben more so for a
ruthless shearing of some de-
tails. Clutter, he forgot, can be
confusing.

1t is the story of Olga, played
by Mile. Arnoul. that is the prin-
cipal concern of the Plaza film.
She Is a young, unwed mother
fresh from a reformatory, who
falls into the hands of a clever
procurer. This is a fate that she
deems at least better than death
by starvation, but with a lot
less conviction after she discovers
the lethal grip of a vice ring on
fits members.
Unfortunately for this particu-
lar sin syndicate, Mile. Arnoul
proves herself to be not merely
a girl of spirit but of matching
cleverness. With the moral and
physical support of decent, well
muscled- truck driver, she discov-
ers that 1t is perilous, but never
theless possible. to escape this
form of slavery. And to find the
police and courts understanding
and useful allies.
In the utterly cherries frame
work of Companions of the
Night" there are some affecting
performances, Mile. Arnoul's the
most touching Of these. Among
the others are the portraits Of
the damned by Nicole Maurey,
Marthe Mercadier. Jeanne Mar
ken. Suzy Prim and Pierre
Cressoy. j. c.

any case but it seems to be worse
If you are a poverty-stricken
Venetian lass from the wrong
side of the canal. This, at any
rate is the general conclusion
reached in Paramount's Italian
made "Mambo," which arrived
yesterday at the Metropolitan
and Ambassador Theaters. It is
not easy to conceive of anything
that would make an hour and a
half spent in the company of
Sylvana Mangano a depressing
experience. but 'Mambo" almost
manages it.
Miss Mangano is a girl named
Giovanna, who vibrates at the
first sound of mambo rhythm.
In the beginning she is a poor
shopgirl, attached by spiritual if
not legal bonds to a no-good
played with encompassing verisi-
Multitude by Vittorio Gassman.
She soon catches the eye of a
wealthy Venetian nobleman who
invites her to one of those gaudy
costume balls, where the cham

Katherine Dunham Dancers are

An overdose of both wine and
mambo so intoxicates Giovarna

Cites Expansion Needs

In a letter to stockholders,
Board Chairman John Tyssowski
declares in part:
"Your Board of Directors has
given much thought and study
to the financial needs of the
business, made necessary by nor
NAL expansion, including future
branch store operations. It is
the considered Judgment of the
board that additional financing
for this purpose is desirable and
that it should be accomplished
by raising equity capital, rather
than by increased borrowing.
Accordingly, in order that the
company may be in a position to
proceed promptly and effective
ly, your board is recommending
that the authorized common
stock be increased by 100000
shares and that the board be
given discretion in the issuance
or sale of any such additional
common stock and in the de-
termination of what preemptive
rights. if any, should be granted
to shareholders of such common
stock when issued.
