“Suspicion,” the Circle’s new attraction, has a murder, too, but

what makes matters worse is the awful, impending threat of another.

Gene Tierney supplies the’ feminine touch as the half-caste . daughter of an Arab trader and the title is “Sundown.”

The Hitchcock Touch

. BY NOW, practically all members of the faithful movie clan must know the ‘mame Alfred Hitchcock. He's the :Englishman ~ who directed ‘such cinema ‘gems

as “The Lady Vanishes,” “The 39

Steps,” “Jamaica Inn,” “Foreign Correspondent,” “Rebecca” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” “Rebecca™ worl ‘the Academy Award as the outstanding picture of the 1939-40 season and “Foreign Correspondent” was chosen in a variety of “10 best of the year” selections of 1940.

Mr. Hitchcock pays strict at--

But Grant continues his spendthrift, embezzling ways and throughout it all, there is the heightening suspicion by his wife that she has married a criminal. . There is a murder in Paris. His wife suspects he had something to do with it. Not long afterwards, the wife begins to nurture a terrifying suspicion and dread that her own husband plans to kill her for insurance money. It is, you see, the sort of picture wherein frayed nerves are everywhere to be found.

The Sun Beats Hot

THE BIG trouble in “Sundown” is that somebedy is smuggling guns to the natives of the Kenya Colony in Africa and the British have to do something about it.

Screaming Is Best

WHEN “I Wake Up Screams= ing” was first opened in a few of the key movie cities over the country, it was called (for some reason unknown to me), “Hot. Spot.” And “Hot Spot” promptly started dying a rather premature death, Something, of course, had to be done. - When the picture was put into: Milwaukee, the title was changed

“back to the original and right away the box office perked up.

And there is a sidelight on the movie business and the value of eye-catching titles. Of course, that’s only incidental to the matter at hand. “I Wake Up’ Screaming,” as we were saying yesterday, is a murder
