Frank Randle, Dan Young, Robby (Enoch) Vincent and Harry Korris in “ Somewhere in Camp.” Circle : David Niven and Leslie Howard in “ The First of the Few.” Regis Toomey, Robert Armstrong, Fred MacMurray, Ralph Bellamy and Errol Flynn in “ Dive Bomber.” the length and breadth of the country. This has been described as being a great social ex- periment. It has certainly provided food for laughter as well as thought, and “ Those Kids from Town ” and “ Front Line Kids ” both dealt with this “ social experiment.” “ Front Line Kids ” was the story of a gang of mischievous East End urchins, evacuated from their tenement homes to an hotel where the head porter does his best to be a father to them, and all turn amateur detectives in track- ing two gangs of crooks—one trying to hi-jack the other of Crown jewels looted from a foreign Embassy during a London blitz. Evacuee children made comedy also in “ Gert and Daisy’s Week-end ” which showed us London during the blitz as well. You may remember that in an earlier film, “ Cottage to Let,” good use was also made of the evacuee problem, with George Cole making a great hit as the knowing and outspoken evacuee who helped in running down the spy sent to gather up a somewhat absent-minded inventor’s new invention. It was an adroit mixture of thrill and chuckle. Spy stories, of course, are always in evidence, and two of Will Hay’s latest comedies had espionage as their theme. " Black Sheep of Whitehall ” showed Will’s reluctant partnership with an enthusiastic young Foreign Office official in rounding up a gang of spies who kidnap an expert on South American economics in an effort to procure the signing of a trade treaty that would have disastrous results to us. In “ The Goose Steps Out ” we saw Will himself becoming a spy. He was a sch oolmaster masque- rading as a Nazi professor in a German university, where he takes charge of a class of spies-to-be, train- ing them for work in England, his own real job being to discover the secret of experiments being carried on at the university. “ Tower of Terror ” and “ The Seventh Sur- vivor,” both had the sea as a background against which the stories were enacted. In both, by a coincidence, most of the action took place in a lighthouse. And both were spy thrillers. “ In Which We Serve " was a tribute to the part the Royal Navy is playing in the war—and Elsie and Doris Waters in “ Gert and Daisy's Week- end." 86
