COURT CALENDAR THEATRE Bachelor Born, by lan Hay. An English boys’ boarding school afflicted with a slight touch of three girls who descend, plague-like, upon it. Even worse than it sounds. 1 Married An Angel, by Rodgers and Hart. For some weird reason that doesn’t show up even hazily in our crystal ball, we have not yet seen this one. However, with all the talk and tunes that are going around, we know it by heart, and it repeats extremely well, On Borrowed Time, by Paul Osborn. Every- body holds a Royal Flush in the game with Death with which this delightful fantasy of Gramps, Pud and Mr. Brink concerns itself. Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. Thornton Wilder's sceneryless saga of a New Hamp- shire village. Instead of scenery it has Frank Craven and this year's Pulitzer Prize. Pins And Needles, by Harold Rome. A re- vue produced by garment workers which contains some of the best music and humor in our town. Tobacco Road, by Jack Kirkland. This show, apparently, must go on. No one knows why. Now in its fifth year! What a Life, by Clifford Goldsmith. Love, confusion and mayhem in a high school, set to the accompaniment of a brass band and laughter. One of the sweller performances of the season dished out by Ezra Stone as Henry Aldrich. You Can't Take It With You, by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart. This one folded up like a wet accordion in London, which only Proves more strongly than ever (if proof is needed) that all those things they've been saying about Englishmen down through the years go double in spades. If you haven't yet been, and aren't English, go tonight and watch a lot of people in the same house choose up sides and go crazy. MOVIES Adventures of Robin Hood. Expensive but dullish pageantry in Sherwood Forest; de- mureness by Olivia De Haviland and swash. buckling by Errol Flynn. Algiers. This is news because it brings us glamorous Hedy Lamarr (Keisler) star of that Oh My! film Ecstasy, and because she is dressed this time. Otherwise the story is commonplace; Charles Boyer is chased by Sigrid Gurie, of Flatbush Fjord, and the French Surété. Fine bit parts. Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse. Grand Larceny & la Edward G. Robinson, with a new and fascinating twist. Blockade. How anybody sees anything con- troversial in this carefully gelded melodra- matic spy story is too much for the over- strained social consciousness of old Graus- tark, our reviewer. Having Wonderful Time. Good comedy about a summer camp, with Ginger Rogers wishing you were here. Holiday. Comedy with overtones, better done than the earlier version. Cary Grant is the young man who decides to take Kath- arine Hepburn instead of sister and the con- ventional Wall Street way to wealth. Best of the season. Lord Jeff. A good starring go-cart for Freddie Bartholomew, and we hope he can hold on to the dough it makes. Men of the Sea. The first tiresome Soviet film this year, episodic and painfully patri- otic. Pugachev. A Soviet film that is not tiresome at all, with the customary superb acting. Rage of Paris. Boudoir bickerings between zees new Danielle Darrieux and the non- gymnastic Fairbanks, in a picture that might be better. Three on a Weekend. Rather flimsy, British, amusing. Toy Wife. At last a movie so terrible that it can even make Luise Rainer seem terrible, and we know she isn’t, don't we? We're Going to Be Rich. Gracie Fields will frighten you at first, but you will laugh at her. BOOKS Concord in Jeopardy, by Doris Leslie. The life and death of an English artist who sold his genius for his first love and redeemed it by his second. Doris is all right for the family, beer, pretzels and cockney accents, But when it comes to her artist genius, she just sits on his palette. Fanny Kemble, A Passionate Victorian, by Margaret Armstrong. A biography of the British actress who hated acting and who (Page 24, please) Published monthly Entered’ as Necond-Clase Matter, fork.
