FILMS REVIEWEDCANNED SOUP HEIRESS

TAKES A BEATINGREGENT.— 'Public Deb. No. 1' Is a

Bght comedy about a canned soup

heiress whose desire as a result of her

contact with her Russian butler is to

apportion the goods of this world

equally among us all, and a young Ame

rican who has nothing, but much prefers to have the opportunity of makinga million off his own bat.

Handsome Brenda Joyce is the heiress

and up-and-coming George Murphy is

the brash young man who not only getsthe opportunity to make his fortune,but snacks (literally,

smacks) a bit of

sense into the heiress.This is the second film with which

Elsa Maxwell, that odd professional en

tertainer who first revealed her line ofsmart talk and comfortable proportionsto the far-flung film world in 'CafeSociety,' has been associated. On thisoccasion she enters the story at strategicmoments to offer philosophic musings to

the harassed uncle of the soup heiress,who sees the business chart slidingrapidly downhill as the great publicreacts violently against the heiress'sCommunistic escapades. The uncle, bythe way. is Charlie Buggies, as good as

ever in that famous character sketch ofCharlie Ruggles.

Mischa Auer, Ralph Bellamy, andMaxie Rosenbloom all add their shareto the fun.

Support Is Tm Stall Alive,' in whichKent Taylor and Linda Hayes play ina story of a Hollywood stunt man mar

ried to a glamor star.Judith Elliot and Arthur Creeper,

equilibrists and tumblers, are a first

rate stage attraction.

'MIKADO' GOES WELLAT ROYAL

Particularly successful was the presentation of 'The Mikado' at theTheatre Royal last night by the Gilbertand Sullivan Opera Company before a

large and appreciative audience. Its

superb satire and merry music receivedjust the right treatment, while the diction and deportment of all concernedwas Indeed praiseworthy. Evidence ofthe good work of Minnie Everett as

producer and leo Packer as musicaldirector abounded.

Ivan Menzies was particularly happyas Ko-Ko. and his 'got him on thelist' song, with discreetly delightfultopical allusion lines, provoked muchmerriment.

Richard Watson's Pooh-Bah, a triumph of delicious drollery, particularlypleased the audience. John Fullard as

Nankt-Poo used his splendid tenorvoice to great advantage In 'A Wandering Minstrel,' and his actingthroughout was excellent.

Viola Wilson rose well to great opportunities as Yum- Yum, while delightful performances were given byPeggy Shea (Pitti-sing), Sara Gregory(Peep-Bo), and Evelyn Gardiner(Katisha).

As the Mikado, Bernard Manning didparticularly well, his song concernedwith 'making the punishment fit thecrime' being a masterpiece of quaintdrollery.

'The Mikado' will be played againthis afternoon tonight ana Monday.

George Wallace AndTennv Howard

Put rotund comedian George Wallace, Australia's prince of laugh getters,alongside sparkling Lancashire lassJennie Howard, intersperse their breezyappearances with first-rate variety acts

and soul of the part?, her star hits ofthe evening being the Grade Fieldsnumber, 'I Never Cried So Much InAll My life,' and 'The last Time ISaw Paris.' The latter, sung withmuch feeling, was encored, and MissHoward then gave a song written andcomposed by George Wallace, 'ThoseLights Will Shine Again.' George Wallace was at his funniest in a backto

. childhood number with Jenny Howard,l?Talent Quest.'

Star turn of the evening was a hoopjuggling and balancing act by HowardNichols, who performed amazing feats.Magda Neeld, sweet-voiced personalitysinger, who has featured with Jack

Hylton's band, scored a direct hit withher Mflitza Korjus numbers, and Jamesand Kuester received wen-deserved applause for their cleverly thought outupside down tapping act. Young acro

batic dancer, MdUe. La PranSde. was

applauded.Of the old favorites, none worked

so hard as that bright lad of songand dance, Billy Kershaw. TommyNoonan was in fine voice for his KateSmith number. 'Trade Winds,' andJune Kuester featured with the balletin several bright numbers.

CRIMINAL SITTINGS END

Three Men Sentenced Forrnnsniracv

Before Mr. Justice Napier: —

William John tames. 51. horse trainer, ofMontrose street, Norwood, Frank Cave, 48,

laborer, of Quit parade, Brighton, and Robert

Goyder Thompson, sen., SI. agent, of Glynde

street, Kensington Park, were each sentenced

to nine months' imprisonment.

They had been found guilty by a Jury ofhaving, at Adelaide and otiier places, between

April 9 and 24, conspired together to cheatend defraud members of the public by falsenretences and other devices.

His Honor said that the offence was one

which he must regard as a very serious one

against the public Interest. The preying on

the generosity and public spiritof the

people,who were defrauded In the form of what theyregarded as subscriptions to the ComfortsFund and Red Cross, had been by the sale ofstickers. It was difficult to think of a fraudthat was- fraught with more serious injuryto the public Interest at a time like this. In

defrauding the public, accused had not merelypreyed on Its generosity and sense of duty,but had been discouraging those untlmenu.That was a very grave feature of the offence.

'If such an offence is again committed,'bis Honor said to aerated, 'I should have no

hesitation In Imposing the *'»^'itirw sentencetnat Is In my power to impose. I take Intoaccount that jou thought that you had de

vised a scheme that would keep you clear oft.H*. criminal law. That is an excuse up to a

point.But If people seeking to defraud sail

close to the wind and manage to overstep the

limits, that is not a complete excuse.

The Crown Prosecutor (Mr. Chamberlain)

for the Crown. Mr Eric Millhouse for ac

cused.

That concluded the June sittings.The next

sittings will begin on June 30.

And 25 Years AgoAfEXICO has declared war against the?'?

United States. German influenceis believed to be largely responsible. The

American Militia of 100,000 men andthe 50,000 regular troops of the Republichave been called out.

(CONTINUING their great offensive,^

the Russians have crossed the RiverPruth. The Italians have also defeatedthe Austrians. A demonstration in

favor of the Allies has been held by thepeople of Bucharest.

TVfUCH unrest has been caused in Ger-'?

many by the Russian advance, tiie

death of Moltke, the threatened failureof crops, and the shortage of food.

Dunsany, the Irish author, is safe inCairo. He was appointed Byron Professor of English at Athens Universityearly in 1941. He escaped after the invasion.— AJLP.

or buttress behind the cutting edge, rather like the blade

of a chiseL This construction, the outcome of three stages

in die sharpening process, gives such strength behind the

The edge of many a blade is damaged by / \ wouu«^

careless unwrapping before it is ever used. ; ;

So carefully is the Gillette blade packed that

equal care in handling it, you can get many
