THE PASSING SHOW
A Medley Of Murders
On Macarthur Screen
By JAY CARMoDY

Murder mystery enthusiasts
who may have felt sighted by
the movies lately will find them
selves appeased by the MacAr-
thur Theater's new feature.
Three Cases OF Murder" it is
called with that impressibely
tidy simplicity with which the
English often use the mother
tongue. It is a British produc-
ton, by London Films, and
amounts to three nicely varied
samples Of homicide as prac-
ticed by Londoners who have
the spirit to really do something
about those who annoy them.
Competent casts play each of
the episodes, the most impress
sive single performer turning up
In the person of Orson Welles,
an American intruder. Welles is
given a considerable assist in
this accomplishment by Somcr-
set Vaughan. whose Lord
Muntdrago" is the best of the
three stories related in the Aim.
This piece of Vaughan. un-
familiar to this enthusiast for
the old master, allows Welles to
impose his physical and vocal
majesty upon the character Of a
foreign minister, no less. An
Unfortunately clever man this one
is. and ruthless too.
Welles relishes this character
enormously in the process of de-
stroying the career of a dis
armingly dedicated little Welsh
M. P and then himself being
destroyed by his subsequent I'M
acknowledged guilt. The effort
to externalize this inner conflict
is not always the most lucid
achievement in film making, but
1t does have q modicum Of sus-
pense and excitement.
The opening episode of the
film is based upon Roderick VIII
kinson's I'm The Picture" a
melodramatic fantasy in which a
dead artist keeps returning to
his best picture in the hope of
perfecting it. He is rather an
interesting painter type, this
chap. in that he is his own
severest critic and feels he must
kill those who have the bad taste
to admire the work as it stands.
The remaining episode is a
straight whodunit, Who Killed
Elizabeth" by Brett Halliday. It
recounts the murder of a pretty
girl by one of two old school
chums and is quite the thinnest
Of the three stories.

BY HARRY MACARTHUR

Nunnally johnson has disin-
TERED a famous utterance of a
once prominent Senator and
given it a sort Of immortality in
How to Be Very, Very Popular. Z"
at Loew's Capitol Theater. It
comes when Miss Betty Cradle,
impersonating a burlesque queen
named Stormy Tornado, is con-
fronted with a particularly un-
seemly twist of Mr.. Johnson's
plot.
why, that's the most unheard
Of thing I ever heard Of" she
declares firmly.
That's a fair sample of the
general tone Of the picture Mr..
johnson has written. produced
and directed for Goth Century
Fox. Nonsensical is what its
tone is. Even its origins have a
certain comic aspect. Mr.. john
son based his screenplay on a play
byI Howard Lindsay, which in
tufn seems to have been based
onl play by a couple Of other
fellows, which in its turn was
based on a novel by somebody
else.
For all that genealogy, this
current reincarnation of the yarn
Is q fresh and funny trifle. If,
that is. anything in Deluxe
color and CinemaScope- wide
can be called a trifie.
Mr.. johnson has a top-notch
cast to thank for a great deal
of the success with which he has
brought this enterprise of. 1t is
his witty script. to be sure, and
it Is his direction that has given
"How To Be Very, Very Popu-
lar its brisk pace. 1t all is
splendidly played, though, by the
likes Of Betty Cradle, Sheree
North, Robert Cummings, Orson
Bean, Charles Coburn, Fred
Clark Rhys williams and several
dozen others.
The decorative Misses Cradle
and North play a pair Of bur-
lesque dancers who witness a
murder then are forced to fee

the killer, who doesn't want
them alive to identify him. They
wind up in the boys dormitory
at a small college and you can
take it from there without being
led another step. It sounds like
the outline for a movie called
How To Be Very. Very Dull"
but don't be misled. Mr.. John
son and company give it the
spoofing treatment whole heart
eddy.
Miss North, surprisingly
enough since she is no veteran
at movie acting, turns in the
comedy's outstanding perform
ance. She plays a girl named
Curly Flag, who spends most OF
the film in a daze having been
inadvertently hypnotized. She
goes about in a highly comic
trance. conditioned to break into
dance at the mention of Salome's
name. When a commencement
orator mentions the battle OF
Salamis, Sheree takes of and
blows that ceremony sky high
The dance she did on Bling
Crosby's television show was,
by comparison to this wild
Shake, Rattle and Rolf bit, a
slow waltz.
Mr.. Coburn, to the surprise OF

The story OF Malta. one Of
the great sagas of World War
II. keeps dribbling onto the
worlds movie screens in swatches
of varying degrees of drama.
Latest of these is the one rep
in Hell Raiders Of the
Deep" an Italian film which
opened yesterday at the Colony.
Despite its strictly Latin flavor.
this is the cinema recall Of a
daring performance by a group
Iof British frogmen. those weird
|undersea warriors which all ma
|vies developed.
1t is based upon heroic fact
for which the films makers and
performers have the highest ad-
|miration. Neither the story's
truth nor the admiration 1t in
spires. however. have succeeded
in making the picture notably
real or exciting. Hell Raiders
of the Deep" for all its docu-
precision is just q
movie starring Eleonora Rossi
Drago and Pierre Cressoy.
AS q precaution against this
the producers employed some Of
the survivors Of the actual events
related. The idea of this may be
sound but 1t turns out that what
the frogmen did for real In
World War II was patiently quite
different from that they do be-
fore the cameras.
This is a matter Of a differ
ence Of purpose which even
Italian directors are not above
overlooking.
Being an English frogmen's
story even though 1t uses italian
players, Hell Raiders Of the
Deep" needs must be in the for
mer language. This is dubbed
and at least one viewer was
so diverted by the ineptness of
the job that he sometimes forgot
the more exciting things the
frogmen and Miss Drago were
doing.

virtually no one, is no less than
wonderful rs the college presi-
dent. The aplomh he exhibits
when his serenity Is suddenly as
sailed by burlesque dancers
gangsters, policemen and a rich
alumnus whose son he expelled
four months previously is q de-
light to see.
Also giving proper tongue-in-
cheek assistance to Mr.. johnson
are Miss Cradle, Mr.. Bean as the
expelled student who wouldn't
leave school, Mr.. Clarke as his
father. Mr.. Williams as Curly's
father and Mr.. Cummings as the
student most involved in all this

thoroughly convincing college
student, too, as Mr.. Johnson's
scenario explains it. BY the
terms Of his grandfather's will
he is supported handsomely while
lin college, but the old boy died
before he could make any provi-
sion for his heir after college. So
Mr.. Cummings student stays
where he is we'll of. Been there
