An Open House |
The heartwarming true story —
of Anna Perrot Rose and her family is told in “Room for One More” (Indiana, Friday). Portraying mother and father of a brood of youngsters is Cary Grant and Betsy Drake. Enacting husband and wife was easy for them because they do it every day in their home. In the movie, Cary and Betsy have three kids of their own and two adopted. One of these adopted children—Clifford Tatum Jr.— has been afflicted with polio. The plot concerns the efforts of the family to help him overcome his handicap. With prodding from his family and - his own hard work, this young lad, despite braces, redtches!' a goal that most healthy boys fail to attain. This picture could be entitled “The Great Robbery” because there are so many scene stealers. Besides the five children, there's a big shaggy dog, a mother cat with a bafch of new-born kittens, and a rabbit. George Wilson, who is billed as a 5-year-old “Teenie Meanie,” was |
‘discovered on Art Linkletter's.

French citizen of th® 1700s, and Boris Karloff, enacting Laughton's half-witted servant. The plot is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's “The Sire de Maletroit’s Door.” The picture concerns Alan, the Sire de Maletroit's (Charles Laughton) long wait to wreck vengeances on his brother who married the former's childhood sweetheart.
The victim of his rotted mind is Blanche (Sally Forrest), daughter of the imprisoned brother.
Naturally, Laughton’s evil plans are extinguished. He has selected Denis de Beaulieu (Richard Stapley), “the worst roue in France,” to marry Sally. Richard turns out to be a handsome, dashing fellow whose only fault is his craving for the bottle. °
