VOICE from the Balcony by RICHARD LEWIS

Film Forecast

“THIS ABOVE ALL" the first important novel of the anti-fasciste world war, is supposed to be one of Hollywood's best war pictures. |

Twentieth Century-Fox snapped up the Eric Knight novel before the

ink was dry

and the film version, with Tyrone Power and Joan Fon-

taine, is due to grace one of the local screens shortly. The story is about a young British soldier who is obsessed with the

need of finding out what he is fighting for. He goes through a terrific mental struggle. In the rearguard action at Dunkirk, he never questioned sacrificing himself so that the main body of the entrapped B. EL FR could escape. But he sees no point in parting with his life to save the only England he has ever known—the England of caste distinction and under rnourished slum dwellers, of privilege for a few and poverty for many, of a bungling, aristocratic leadership on wt hom he blames the disaster of Dunkirk. On the sands of a southeast coast confides his doubts to the girl he met casually on a blind date during a blackout. Across the channel, the guns are silent, for resistance has gone

out of France. Soon, the bombers will be coming over Britain. For her part, Prue, the girl, has identified herself with the battle for democratic survival, but Clive is harrassed by doubts. When his furlough expires, he deserts the army and lives as a fugutive. But Nazi bombers over London and Prue's calm logic answer his doubts. Maybe this isn't a great novel, ut it is a good one and it provides plenty of meat for a fine picture. Epics have been made on much less. There is a touching love story and real conflict, played against the dramatic background of Britain's darkest hour. Tyrone Power is cast as the soldier, Clive, and Miss Fontaine as ue. In light of his past performances, it would appear that Mr. Power is bevond his depth here. It will take more than his usual forehead-wrinkling and lipbiting to convey the mental agony Clive passes through. More of a part for an actor like Robert Montgomery. But it ought to be interesting to see if Mr. Power can make the audience forget him as “A Yank inthe R AF” = 8 2

Camp Shows

WHAT KIND of entertainment are the boys going for in the army camps? Up until recently, the shows have been mostly gags and chorus girls, but the U.S.0O. has injected some high class stuff into the entertainment, despite objections from interpreters

of popular preference.

The objectors argued that personal appearances by concert artists would bore the soldiers. But Jascha Heifetz didn’t. He got a tumultuous ovation at Camp Roberts, Cal, when he finished fid

dling for the men. They wouldn't

let him leave without four encores. The same happened with Nino Martini, Alec Templeton, the

{ Llevinnes, James Melton, Albert

Spalding, Rose Bampton, Igor Gorin, the Don Cossack chorus, Nathan Milstein and Dorothy Maynor. They went over big. Of course, the service men still prefer light musical shows with high-kicking cuties, but they also go for the high-brow stuff, too, the U. S. O. has discovered. So they'll get both. = = =

Cinema Scene

JOHN HOWARD is likely to replace Lew Ayres in the Dr. Kildare series. . . . Edward G. Robinson will play another newspaperman in “Deadline” and Lana Turner is slated for “Flying Blonde,” a yarn about female test pilots. . . . Guess who shows up in a nifty cowboy dress? Dorothy Lamour who has substituted the

sombrero for the sarong in “Som- | brero.” Mark Hellinger, columnist |

and producer, is making “Mississippi Belle,” a river saga, while Jack Benny and Ann Sheridan work out in “Washington Slept Here.”

Gene Tierney, who has nearly | been obliterated by a recent series |

of punk pictures, is aiming for a comeback in “Thunderbirds.” Few actresses have survived so many lemony pictures as this patient glamorist.

MAROTT'S OPEN TONIGHT UNTIL 9 O'CLOCK

Pupils Will Sing

1. Between plotting ways and means to rob a bank, Edward G. Robinson takes time out to yield to sentiment in “Larceny, Inc.” the Circle's Friday offering. Jane Wyman is the sentiment. 2. Alfred Hitchcock’s “Saboteur” opens Friday at the Indiana. Robert Cummings demonstrates an old technique in getting the last word with Priscilla Lane. 3. At Loew's Wednesday, “Gone With the Wind” has blown back this way. Scarlet and Rhett, as anyone can plainly see.

Work by Steffen

A new arrangement of “Missa Eucharistica” for unison chdrus by

Elmer A. Steffen, Indianapolis conductor and composer, will be heard for the first time at St. John's church during the conference of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine April 26 to 28. The premiere of the mass will be sung by a chorus of 1000 high schoo! pupils of Catholic academies of Indianapolis. It is now in rehearsal under the general direction of the Rev. Fr. Edwin Sahm assistant pastor and choirmaster of St. Joan of Arc church and a member of the Doicesan Music Commission. The mass bears a dedication tribute to “the memory of the lamented Most Rev. Joseph Chartrand, D. D,, and to his beloved successor, the Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, D. D,

bishop of Indianapolis.”
