for Veronica Lake. His love for her almost sends him to the electric chair when her brother is murdered and he's the suspect. The hit of the picture is William Bendix, who walks away with the whole works as the big, rough bully who uses strong-arm methods to enforce his boss' orders. He's terrific.

THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (R-K-O) Cast: Dolores Cosiello, Tim Holt, Joseph Cotten. Orson Welles' second film doesn't measure up to his Citiaeu Kane. Slow-moving, rather depressing story of a spoiled young man. Agnes Moorehead shows possibilities.
THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR (Paramount) Cast: Ginger Rogers, Ray Milland. Ginger masquerading as a 12-year-old is taken under the protective wing of a young army major with merry complications. Ginger does a grand job.
THE PIED PIPER (20th Century-Fox) Cast: Roddy McDowall. Monty Woolley, Anne Baxter. A quiet, moving story of a reluctant hero and his trip across occupied France with the children he has promised to return safely to England. A warm, human film.
THE TALK OF THE TOWN (Columbia) Cast: Ronald Colman, Jean Arthur, Carp Grant. You won't want to miss this combination in an exciting and credible story of a fugitive from justice who seeks refuge in the home of a school teacher.
THE WAR AGAINST MRS. HADLEY (MG-Mi Cast: Fay Bainter. Jean Rogers, Van Johnson. A rich widow who refuses to face the realities of the world at war is finally brought to her senses by the example of her friends and family. An apt and moving study.

**!•:
BERLIN CORRESPONDENT (20th CenturyFox) Cast: Dana Andrews, Virginia Gilmore, Mona Maris. Espionage film with Berlin background. Dana Andrews is an American commentator who attempts to get valuable military information out of Germany.
FOOTLIGHT SERENADE (20th CenturyFox) Cast: Belly Grable, John Payne, Victor Mature. An indifferent story, indifferently acted. Betty's legs are its only recommendation.
GET HEP TO LOVE (Universal) Cast: Gloria Jean, Jane Fruzee, Robert Puire. Lively entertainment for the teen-agers, with Gloria Jean singing in superb voice.
HERE WE GO AGAIN i R-K-O-Radio) Cast: Edgar Bergen. Charlie McCarthy. Fibber McGee and Molly. Ginny Simms. Second in the series starring Bergen and the popular radio comics. Ray Noble's orchestra adds interest.
JOAN OF OZARK (Republic) Cast: Judy Canova, Joe E. Brown. Fairly amusing little comedy in which Judy and Joe get tangled with Nazi spies. •
MAISIE GETS HER MAN (M-G-M) Cast: Ann Sathem. Red Skelton. The Maisie followers will like this. In addition to Ann Sothern's amusing escapades, it has Red Skelton.
MANILA CALLING (20th Century-Fox) Cast: Lloyd Nolan. Carole Landis. A band of Americans attempt to set up a radio transmitter in the Philippines to combat Jap propaganda. Plenty of gunfire.
MISS ANNIE ROONEY (United Artists) Cast: Shirley Temple, Dickie Moore, Shirley Temple comes back as a young lady in a rather weak story of a poor girl and a rich boy. Lots of jive talk and jitlerbugging which youngsters will like
ORCHESTRA WIVES (20th Century-Fox) Cast: George Montgomery, Ann Rutherford, Lynn Bari. The trials and tribulations encountered by the wives of orchestra men are shown in an amusing movie.
PANAMA HATTIE (M-G-M I Cast: Ann Sothern. Red Skelton. Not the gay, racy musical it was on the stage, the screen version emerges as only fair entertainment. The barest thread of a story weaves through the song and dance routines. The three gobs, RedLSkelton, Rags Ragland and Ben Blue are the funniest.
THE FOREST RANGERS (Paramount)' Cast: Paulette Goddard, Fred MacMurray, Susan Hayward. It's chief attraction is a forest fire in Technicolor. Otherwise only fair.
