warming. AS for Miss Russell
and Sir Alec, one is aware of
them acting, instead of being
the comedy's key characters.
One can even withdraw to the
point where he finds himself
listening for Sir Alec to slip
on the next 81" word, saying
"excellently" instead of lex
cerrentry." He never does, but
the suspense isn't the one in
tended.
: The whole point of the COM
parison could be irrelevant
since the movie audience is GER
tain to be quite a different,
larger one. This one may very
well enjoy Miss Russell's dom
ming of Miss Berg's mantle, re-
CARELESS of a difference in the
ease with which they wear it.
The former has gone to great
lengths to master that engag-
ing speech rhythm of Miss
Berg and the gestures, arms
and hands, and facial express
sions which give it so much of
sweet and funny meaning.
It remains technique how
ever, as against the real thing,
and in the sets in which Di-
rector Mervyn Leroy shoots
the comedy, its artifice is never
adequately concealed.
AS the Japanese Industrial
list, Sir Alec also is forced back
upon acting skill. At such
times, however, as he is not
too conscious of what must be
an uncomfortable eye makeup
and the need for immaculate"
speech, he makes an engaging
figure of the romantic Japa-
nese in the life of Mrs. Jacoby
of Brooklyn.
A lot of others are employed
on the fringes of the films
basically funny East-West ro-
nance, but it is Miss Russell
and Sir Alec who almost never
are out of the cameras eye.

is IN no jeopardy to be sure.
Nevertheless, it would be more
useful if the reviewer could
specify that a play, film, book,
or whatever was SO degrees

Much say as atmospheric tenn
perature is specified, not in
the forecasts. but as registered
with such wicked whimsicality
the next day.
1t is when reviewing a mo-
ton picture like "A Majority

that one really misses preci-
sion in heart warming" That
is what the film is, but it is
so viSibly less heart warming
than the play that the re-
viewer hesitates to use of the
words.
And why should it be less
heart warming, this filmed
comedy of a Brooklyn Jewish
widow and a Japanese indus
trial tycoon who meet, learn
to understand each other, and
drift finally into a mature and
serene West-E East love?
That is a good question, or
at least the best one avail
able. 1t deserves an answer,
no matter how odious the COM
parison may sound. That
answer must be that Molly
Berg and Sir Cedric Hardwicke
Of the stage version seemed so
