| Crime, Western and Musical Fare Scheduled for Screens Next Week
‘Naked City’ at Indiana, ‘Duel in Sun’ at Loew's, With Thriller ‘Woman's Vengeance’ at Lyric Wednesday; ‘Night Song’ at Circle NEXT WEEK'S list of movie openings contains the usual proportion of crime,
western and musical specimens.
N . Starting Wednesday are: “The Naked City” (crime) at the Indiana, a return of “Duel in the Sun” (western) at Loew's and “A Woman's Vengeance” (crime) at the
Lyrie. Starting Thursday is “Night Song” (musical) at the Circle. . = = “THE NAKED CITY” is about New York, not Miami Beach, as one might suppose. The late Mark Hellinger’s ‘final production, it stars Barry Fitzgerald as a New York detective. Screened in Manhattan, it was made with tech-
nical advice from the New York Homicide Bu- |
Teal and is supposed to be pretty grimly realStic. Howard Duff, Dorothy Hart and Don Taylor are chief among Mr. Fitzgerald's supporting cast In a story involving systematic jewel-thievery and brutal murder. , “Duel in the Sun,” last shown here at advanced prices, makes its popular-price return to Loew's. “Super-colossal,” that pet phrase of the Tipe-olive industry, is no doubt applicable to Duel in the Sun,” if only for the cast.
» ” » AS YOU may rgnember, the film's roster of stars includes Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, Joseph Cotten, Lionel Barrymore, Herbert Marshall, Walter Huston, Lillian Gish and Charles Bickford. x ‘ As you may also remember, the film concerns the Texas Panhandle back in the 1880's, with the railroad-cattlemen conflict and family conflicts of a most bitter sort involved. If Hollywood hasn’t tampered too much with Aldous Huxley's stript, “A Woman's Vengeance,” especially written for the screen by Mr. Huxley,
should prove more mature than most film whodunits, }
CHARLES BOYER has the lead, with Ann Blythe and Jessica Tandy .as, respectively, the Woman he loves and the woman he scorns.

As I recall audience response to the play's last visit here, people still find it hugely funny.
