When Girls Leave Home

“What happens when girls leave home for the first time?” the press book inquires. It suggests the answer when it adds, “The book that blew the lid off is on the screen!” The press book further dilates on higher education for ‘women

in phrases like these: “Every father's. son will love every mother's daughter of ‘em! A candid story of co-eds on their own—for the first time. . How they learn about life, liberty and the pursuit of fraternity men! How they live up to

tradition (and love it!) under the campus Kissing Tree! But take

care! when the she-wolves start howling and prowling!” And so on. Actually, the story, based on

Peggy Goodin's successful novel, is a kind of documentary criticizing the college sorority system for being snobbish and distorting values. It has Jeanne Crain, Dale Robertson, Mitzi Gaynor and Jean Peters at the head of a cast of Hollywood college undergraduates engaged in demonstrating that the sorority system can cause plenty of grief to the sensitive, shy type of girl who can't compete socially with the well-to-

_ do boy-chasers.

One of the less fortunate gals in the story, who has been typed more or less as a goon, is cruelly treated by the snobbish sistren. As a result, she all but goes off her rocker, and it takes a lot of care and attention by Miss Cra'n and the other good gals to Keep her out of the hooby hatch, When vou gee the press book's description of Dale Robertson, in the role of non-fraternity Joe, as “the GI with the kind of basic

Hollywoodmstill fbi to be convinced that college is much more a place for social life and dating than for study. Maybe that view is correct.

World's Richest Woman

One thing about “The Law and the Lady” will have particular local appeal. Our own Marjorie Main appears in it as the richest

woman in the world, wearing some fantastic outfits and even

brandishing a revolver.

Miss Main, who has made a film career of acting goonish and shouting in hawg-caller fashion, actually is a quiet-spoken, demure person off the screen. Hollywood has typed her as the Ma Kettle kind of character, or, as in this picture, the eccentric dowager. Undoubtedly she has much more versatility than screen audiences are apt to discover. “The L.aw and the Lady” is one of those half-serious, half-ridicu-lous deals about high society crooks. It assembles a goodly bunch of players and puts them to work on the lighter side of heavy crime,

Greer Garson is cast as a Lon-

don lady's maid falsely accused of stealing a pair of earrings. Discharged, with a cash sum of severance pay, she decides she iwants some of life's tastier gravy. So she teams up with Michael Wilding, who plays a society crook. In San set to execute scheme to lift Marjorie Main's fabulous necklace, But Greer gets caught in the act by another guest in the crotchety millionairess’ Nob Hill mansion, Fernando Lamas. FernandqQ threattens to turn Greer in, unless she'll well, in anv’ case, she won't, and so she and Michael eventually have to face the rap.

Different Twist

‘Ace In the Hole” is summarized in today's picture preview, ihe film deserves extre: mention here for a different twist national critics have pointed out. Kirk Douglas, playing the drinkruined reporter trving to make a come-back, decides he can do it if he can hog a nation-wide story.

Though

He starts off a synthetic sensation, all right. But then he finds that he can't stop it when he wants to, The reading public and even his own former on the big metropolitan daily won't believe the truth when he tries to tell them. The half-truths and lies he's been dealing out become accepted as fact, And in maintaining the rather gruesome carnival atmosphere adjacent to the ancient Indian where the filling-station man is trapped wants no part of the truth.
