"The Invaders"

OUT OF THE MASS of puny way this season, there arrives a giant among films, which opened at Loew's yesterday.

plunge with their “new order,” terrorizing isolated seaboard communities and striking inland to the south toward the American border. When this film was made, the U. S. was still at peace. Their trek through Canada is a super-dramatic chase, filled out roundly with the contrast of Old World demons plaguing a mighty and un-aroused continent. The picture has as fine an aggregation of top-flight stars as ever assembled in one bill. There is Laurence Olivier, the French

Canadian, who first faces enemy. Raymond Massey who each in

his own way meets the invader.

These Actors Act

ERIC PORTMAN as the lieutenant of the Nazi squad is a splendid British actor almost unknown here. Glynis Johns makes her American debut on the screen. She's a talented 16-year-old whose acting makes Hollywood's most expensize glamour girls look pretty pale. I cannot help throwing in an unfavorable comparison or two about Hollywood. This film makes that bunch on the West Coast look like pikers, with their cheap cheesecake and fluff. The cast of “The Invaders” is composed of actors who take the parts of living beings, not glamorized deadheads, and what a joy and delight it is to see actors again—really acting. There isn't even a little-bitty suggestion of love interest in this picture. The people aren’t pretty. There is no gay, incidental music. The sound effects are bombs, machine guns and the harsh voices of men in the wilderness.

The scenery is real for a welcome change. The first round of applause last night was stimulated by Anton Walbrook’s speech explaining to the Nazi crew why the German Hutterite colony, a Canadian religious ‘sect, refuses to greet the German Nazis as “brothers.”

” » =»

Walbrook's Speech

AS SPIRITUAL LEADER of the coiony, Mr. Walbrook gives the speech seated on a wooden bench, after the Nazis have called upon the sect to join up with Adolf’s gang. “You talk about the new order in Europe,” he tells the Nauzis. “The new order where there will not be one corner, not a hole big enough for a mouse, where a decent man can breathe freely. You think we hate you, but we don’t. It is against our faith to hate. We only hate the power of evil which is spreading over the world. You and your Hitlerism

comes when Leslie Howard, as a writer on a fishing trip, corners and subdues one of the U-boat’s gang in a cave after the Nazis have characterized him as typical of the decadent, dilletante democracies. “I wanted to see,” says Mr. Howard in his best Pimpernel style, “how a decadent democrat subdues an armed superman.”

More Applause

THE THIRD APPLAUSE sequence follows an expression on Raymond Massey's face—a face capable of many expressions, all easily definable. The last survivor of the crew holds Mr. Massey, a Canadian soldier, at bay with a gun as the boxear in which the two meet crosses the border at Niagara Falls. Surrendering the gun to American customs men, the Nazi demands the refuge of his embassy, but the customs men ship him back into Canada. Freed from the threat of the gun, Mr. Massey turns toward the Nazi with a broad grin on his face. “Now,” he says, “I'm going to get my uniform back and I'm not going to have to ask you for it> You see the final shot of the train creeping back to the Canadian side of the falls.

RUN FOR CONGRESS? NEVER, SAYS MRS. R. BOSTON, April 16 (U. P.) —Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt said last night that “nothing on God’s green earth” could make her run for congress. Denying published reports that she planned to run, she said, “no one has ever suggested it to me. And there's no foundation in fact in the story at all.” Earlier, she had suggested that a

15-minute news review be broadcast

regularly to American service men abroad.
