Directed by Wil Principals: Edward G. Robinson, Edna Best, Eddie Albert, Albert Basserman, Gene Lockhart, Otto Kruger, Nigel Bruce, Montagu Love, James Stephenson. This latest in the series of Warner “screen biographies” has the distinction of its predecessors as a faithful dramatic nar- rative of an important man. Julius Reuter (Robinson) grew from a lad whe was impatient with distances into a man who turned this impatience into a space- spanning business, with carrier pigeons. When spreading tele- graph facilities made the pigeon service unnecessary, Reuter hit upon the idea of using the telegraph for the speedy transmission of news — news which, in his philosophy, belonged to all the people as fast as it could be brought to them. The film is the story of his struggle to “sell” the new idea to London’s papers; of his temporary set-back at the hands of rival who liked his idea enough to attempt freezing him out; of his successful counter-attack and triumph. This comes in a dramatic climax revolving about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, a tragedy firt told in England by Reuter’s service and preciptating a parliamentary discussion of Reuter relability.

Born " BROADWAY NIGHTS By AXEL STORM Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc. NEW YORK — Had Maxwell Anderson put the King James version of the Bible on the stage in his “Journey to Jerusalem”, he might conceivably have achieved the purpose and the poetic sweep he so gallantly sought for his play. But in relying on his own muse for picturing the 12-year-old Jesus, his “Journey to Jerusalem” has proved a pedestrian and rather undramatic enterprise, not with- out its moments of beauty and drama, but falling considerably short of what your reporter be- lieves are the requirements of a magnum opus. Herod's soothsayer sees in the stars the same portent of trag- edy for the royal house which twelve years before marked the birth of the Savior. He calcu- lates that the destruction of boys born in Jerusalem on that date had not been complete, that one escaped, apd that that one is the Messiah. " Herod orders a census of all entering the gates of the city for the celebration of the Feast of Passover. Young Jesus, journeying to the Holy City for observation of the Feast with His family, is stopped in the desert by the prophet Ishmael. Knowing the Child for the Messiah, Ishmael lies to the scribe at the gate, claiming Jeshua (the Hebrew name for Jesus) as his son, and giving his age as thirteen. This is the one truly dramatic moment in the play, and here the young Jesus enters the city and eventually confounds the bearded and wise Sanhedrin with His purity and wisdom. The play ends on Herod’s mani- acal panic, and the mad turmoil of the Romans’ search for the child Messiah. One could easily underesti- mate the fearful task of putting such a play on the stage of to- day. Beyond the fact that the boy Jesus drove the money changers from the temple, there’s little enough to be found in the Bible about Him. In those years He was preparing Himself for His supreme sacri- fice. Your reporter fears that the poetry of Mr. Anderson isn't quite equal to the task of pic- turing that distant and portent- ous day. When the Roman soldier curses the non-Roman gods with awe-inspiring allitera- tion, the result is as unchar- acteristic as if some swagger- ing and beardless child were to curse, self-consciously, like a wharf rat. When Joseph, Jeshua’s father, calls his race, among other things, “wistful”, then the picture of tragedy be- gins to ravel at the edges. “ One moment of rare beauty has the Boy facing the Sanhe drin, amazing them with the purity and inspiration of His logic and faith. But that one moment hardly holds together a full evening of sometimes far-fetched and not infrequently limping speech. Doubtless the music of Mr. Anderson’s poetry would appeal more readily from the printed page. Frederic Tozere is a cruel, weak, craven Herod, facing with panic fear a fate he more than expects; Horace Braham a gentle Joseph, and Arelene Francis a tender and loving mother as Miriam. Little Sidney Lumet achieves a sort of grace as the boy Jeshua, and Arnold Moss is a febrile and uncompromising Ishmael. Karl Malden is an ex- cellently tough and workman- like Centurion. If the Bible, qua Bible, moves you deeply, you may be deeply moved by “Journey to Jeru- salem”. But of itself the play hasn’t quite enough substance to fill three hours in the theatre LAST EVENING AT AUK BAY At a simple ceremony performed last evening at the Auk Bay resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. William Walker, Miss Sechrest Lancaster be- came the bride of Mr. Orlando B.
