ALSO—THE LATEST NEWS EVENTS 'NOEL COWARD'S FIRST FILM IS ON CAPITOL SCREEN | Noel Coward's first screen pro- duction “In Which We Serve,” the inspiring life history of a destroyer, which is slated for its local pre=- miere tonight at the Capitol is one of the most outstanding war films ever made on either side of the At- lantic. Heroic and human, it is at the same time entertaining and vitally real. The chief character is a destroyer captain—Captain Kinross played by Noel Coward himself, and the hero- ine is the ship, HM.S. Torrin, on which he serves. The picture shows the ship being built and being launched; it shows her in action on many seas, doing her share at Dun- kirk, suffering damage and casu- alties, sometimes limping homeward, sometimes being towed; and at last going down, guns blazing, off Crete. But there is more to come. As a dozen men cling to a rubber float, machine-gunned at intervals from the air, the film flashes back to episcdes in their lives which they recall Thus we are shown their rr\m-‘ ilies and sweethearts. And thus we get to know them—f{rom the cap- tain, to the chief petty officer played by Bernard Miles, and the young seaman played by John Mills And we can understand why Cap-! tain Kinross, when he - bids them| goodbye after the ship is lost does| it with a lump in his throst, and with touching attection 7 CASES NOT 10 BE GIVEN SONJA HENIE IS AT 20TH CENTURY Already hailed as one of the mu- sical must-sees of the season, 20th| Century-Fox's latest funfest, “Ice-| land,” makes its debut at the 20th| Century tonight.
