OTamA CTltic OF Ine Staf
1t is at Easter and Christ
mas that the movies bet most
confidently that they are the
public's best entertainment.
At least. one of the best.
Especially after the Lenten
lull, more than the one at
tributed to Christmas shop
ping, are they willing to pit
their most precious wares
against any continuance Of
public apathy, whatever its
explanation.
The traditional effect of
this, happily enough, is to
flood the market place with
some truly attractive pic
lures. An impressive sampling
Of these turned up in Wash
ington last week with more
to follow in the next few
days. The spill Of these
usually is spread over a two
week period on the theory
that too much competition is
not a good thing. A correla-
tive assumption is that a
fortnight's flood Of fresh
wares is better calculated to
re-establish the moviegoing
habit.
Film Themes Varied
This festival spirit in the
sluggish spring of 1862 has
brought Washington and
most Of the country's other
large cities some notably
attractive and varied cinema
fare.
The most enthusiastically
greeted Of these, by movie
goers and reviewers, is
Counterfeit Traitor" This
is a spy thriller out Of World
War II. A Perlberg-Seaton
production, written and
directed by Seaton, 1t has
that quality of softness or
understatement which has
established the English as the
masters Of this particular
melodrama form.
It also has the appeal Of
being an enormously expen-
sive picture which modestly
is letting its cost Of being
shot in Sweden, Denmark and
Germany speak for itself.
1t is only in connection with
its exciting realism that it is
pointed out that nationals Of
these countries among the
characters are played by
native stars, with just the
right accent in each case.
Based Upon Fact
Counterfeit Traitor" is
based upon an actual spy
experience Of World War II.
Its central figure, played by
William Holden, is an Ameri-
can-born, naturalized Swede.
an oil tycoon maneuvered
onto an Allied blacklist as a
step in recruiting him for
military intelligence.
Blandly blackmailed into
the spy trade, this Eric Erick-
son Is given a succession OF
assignments which make him
a warlong commuter into
Germany. And take him to
the very center of Nazi
military operations in Berlin.
AS a Swedish neutral and a
big peacetime supplier of
Hitler's military regime, he
has access to the NaZi's top
command. Nevertheless. it
takes an extraordinary agility
to erase the suspicious fact
of his American birth. And

AqeIess Roz Fears No Aqe
BY JAMES BACON
Associated Press Writer

HOLLYWOOD.-If age and
energy were interchangeable,
Roe Russell would make
Tuesday Weld look like Dame
May Whitty.
That may be why ROE is
one Of the few feminine stars
Of her era who gives their
birthdate in the studio biog-
raphies-June 4, 1912.
But actresses have q solid
economic reason. Few over 40
sell tickets.
Male stars are box office
to so, even as romantic lead
ing men. But, girls, it's much
tougher for your side.
And that makes Miss Rus
sells comments significant.
II have never been afraid
Of age-or playing aged char
acter parts" she says. And
her current record proves 1t.
At the moment, there is no
buster actress nor bigger box
office draw - save Elizabeth
Taylor and Doris Day
among the women than ROE.
Inherited Roles
Producers clamor for her
services in movie ver-
sions Of stage hits that were
dramatic monuments to legi-
innate stars.
Here's the score sheet at
present.
Majority Of One" a dra-
matte triumph on stage for
Gertrude Berg, ideally cast as
a lonely Jewish widow of IS.
On screen, ROE, an Irish
Catholic, came off so well
that many thought she de-
served a long overdue Oscar.
Five Finger Exercise" a
stage tour de force for Jes-
sica Tandy as the neurotic
female. Watch Roz in the
movie version of this one.
Broadway called Gypsy"
Ethel Merman's greatest per-
formance. ROE is now doing
1t on screen-and La Mer-
man fired her long time
agents as a result.
Conversely, when Roz
reached stage immortality as
"Auntie Name" Jack L. War;
ner wanted no one else to
re-create the role in the
movies.
She Sympathizes
At SIS million so far, it is
the biggest grosser in War
ner history.
II know how Gertrude,
Ethel and Jessica feel,"> SYM
pathizes Roz. 81 know what
my reaction would have been
II 'Auntie Name had gone
to some other actress. I ere
ated the role and developed
1t. It was me for too many
years to give it up"
Mervyn Leroy, who di-
rected Roe in Majority" and
Gypsy" says he never con-
sidered anyone else for the
parts.
"Roz is one Of the screens
all-time greats great SINGER
ity, great heart, great pro,
great actress" Leroy licked
off. Then he added the
clincher.
Great at the box office"
ROE first Hollywood con-
tract at MGM goes back to
the days when her stable
mates were Norma Shearer,
Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo
and the late Jean Harlow.
But ROE endured.
She never demanded that
she be the central love in
terest.
"As an actress in love with
my profession, I have always
welcomed character roles.
Maybe that's because I'm such
a character myself. I did
'Craig's Wife when I was %
and she was a middle-aged
woman"
Her career never took the
sexpot route although, as the
late, late show on TV will at
test. it could have. That's
probably because Roz always
had too much of the lady
in her.
She kids about the fact

as much Of courage to pit his
merely layman'S intelligence
against trained German
military intelligence in one
perilous predicament after
another.
Seaton's film draws much
Of its unbearably exciting
realism from its Stockholm,
Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen
and other settings. It draws
more from the objectivity
with which the screen play
has been written. Its good
guys are far from the best,
its bad ones equally removed
from the worst.
A Dirty Business
The pictures premise is
that spying is a dirty trade,
involving rather naturally
stealing and lying and, un-
naturally, dishonorable be-
trayal Of trust and heartless
indifference to the fate of
friends. Including a tender
experience of love, played by
Holden and Lilli Palmer, it
is all summed up in the man

hension Of losing my mind

This fear Is heightened, !
suppose, by the fact that my

From your letter I suspect

In my own practice I have

have never given evidence Of

dry wine before dinner. It
promotes relaxation, in

has its specific indications.
With few exceptions, chronic

German Visit

PARIS. Sept. 10 (AP).-
president Charles de Gaulle
was back home today after a
triumphant six-day state visit
to West Germany that brought
a new high in modern French
German relations.
Gen. de Gaulle met with sew
eral cabinet ministers after
returning last night from
Stuttgart. the final stop on his
tour. One minister told re-
porters, The general Is ex-
ltremely well satisfied with his
trip"
Throughout the Presidents
"Trip, large and enthusiastic
Icrowds greeted him. Gen. de
Gaulle generally called for close
military, economic and politi-
cal cooperation between the
two peoples who have fought
each other so often.
Gen. de Gaulle met again
with West German President
Heinrich Luebke and Chancel-
lor Konrsd Adenauer last night
at Ludwigsburg Castle near
Stuttgart.
The French head Of state
said the Germans have "en-
Eriched the world with innum-
cradle examples Of their in
ventive power, technique and
work"
Gen. de Gaulle tempered his
generally Mandatory speech by
saying the Germans from time
to time in history made bad
mistakes and caused much
unhappiness."
He said the two countries are
the cornerstone on which
European unity will be built
and together form "the high
est trump card for peace"
Mr.. Luebke said the once
hereditary enemies" have
buried the past.
without their cooperation
and friendship there would be
no hope for q united Europe" I"
he added.
The Soviet newspaper Pravda.
in q dispatch from Bonn. said
the Paris-Bonn cooperation is
aimed at wrecking the search
for q settlement on Berlin and
other German issues.
