right enticing, which is exactly
what the producers of Too Bad
She's Bad" had in mind. Yet.
on a second thought that there
might be moviegoers more de-
manding than this, Miss Loren'SI
performance suggests that she
understands a girl like herself.
The net effect is to make the

usually come under that head

Miss Loren or Marilyn Monroe?
4 x
The basic screenplay of TOO
Bad She's Bad" is by no means
q thing of dazzling freshness
and its direction is sometimes
casual to the point of indiffer-
ence.
To its credit, however. it never
loses sight of the fact that
males with low boiling points
are pathetically at the mercy
Of certain type of girl.
The male in this Italian film
is taxi driver who first lays
eyes on Miss Loren when she
plays foil for a couple of boy
miscreants trying to steal his
car. This unusual meeting gives
him the idea that he should turn
her over to the police; leaves
her with the impression that a
chap so handsome might serve
much more practical purpose in
q girls life.
Thus the duel between them
begins, to continue for IS min
utes of further betrayals until
the helpless man is reduced to
the desperate strait of marrying
the girl to get her on his side.
There are times when the game
seems too patty rugged against
the loser but there is always an
other angle of Miss Loren to
divert the mind from the story's
repetitions.

While Miss Loren is allowed
to seem to walk away with TOO
Bad She's Bad" she is given
three notable assists through
the film. One of these is by
Vittorio de Sica, a middle aged
tower of strength to Miss Lor-

role this time is that of father
to Miss Loren, a man smart
enough to live by his wits and

Globe Troupe
Stages Picnic
At the Studio
BY HARRY MACARTHUR

In case you failed to take
advantage of any earlier oppor-
tunity to examine the inspira-
ton for the Oscar-contending
movie, Picnic" you now have
one more chance. The Globe
Repertory Co. will be happy to
fill the gap in your life. The
troupe, which came into being
in a small auditorium in Fran
coma, Va, has moved into our
"off-E street" playhouse, the
Studio, at Ninth street and New
Yo,- avenue NV. Picnic is
the first of what it hopes will be
a series of productions.
You had best approach this
with some reservations in mind,
prepared to grant concessions.
If you are seeking something
with a professional sheen, you
will be disappointed. If, on the
other hand, you want to see
William Inge's highly successful
comedy in something approach

Day causing considerable uproar
in some segments of its feminine
