Columbia’s “The Lost One” (La Traviata), which opened there last night, has skillfully combined Alexandre Du- mas’ great love story, “Lady of the Camellias,” with Giuseppe Verdi's immortal lyrical melodies. The well-known romance takes on a new radiancy as it is brought to the screen with some of the most maginificent music ever written. While being sung in Italian, the ac- tion is tenderly unfolded in English. Nelly Corradi is an ideal choice for the lovely heroine. She brings | to her “Lady of the Camellias” an | almost ethereal beauly and a deli-| cately-drawn characterization. Tenor Gino Mattera, in his rlrst‘ film role, also scores impressively. | Supporting the two leads and |other members of the large cast are the orchestra and chorus of the Rome Opera House, conducted by Hector Panizza. The libretto was written by F. M. Piave, and Carmine | Gallone directed. Producer Gregor Rabinovitch de- | serves a special accolade for the great care and taste which h:u‘ gone into this excellent production. ! SECOND TUG SENT T0 AID DISTRESSED | S ATLANTIC STAR| Another tug, the Gabriel Chavez, | has been dispatched by the Military , Sea Transport Service from Kodiakr to the aid of the Atlantic Star, re- ported to be running out of fuel about 46 miles south of Kodiak.

DUAL BILL OPENS TOMORROW NIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY| ¥ The Bowery Boys get in and out ‘uf dangérous situations in hilarious |manner in their new comedy, “Trouble Makers,” which opens to- morrow at the Gross 20th Century |Theatre. The film, starring Leo Gorey with Huntz Hall in the top featured role, is replete with sus- | pense and humor, as murder and | ugly mobsters menace the lads. | Gorey and Hall operate a side- |walk telescope business when they | see a man being murdered in a |hotel room as they gaze through their optical instrument. Upon in- vestigation, however, no body is found in the room. Stymied, the| boys help their policeman friend Gabriel Dell make a number of raids on gambling dens, even| though the officer has been offered | a bribe by the gangsters. ‘ Meanwhile, when Gorey reads | about a professor being mysteriously | killed, he suspects it is the man| who was murdered in the hotel. He | and Hall tell the professor’s daugh- | ter they will find the murderers, and they get jobs as bellhops at the hotel to investigate further.| Laughs come frequently when ex- convict Lionel Stander thinks Hnll! is an old prison mate. But as t.he} boys pick up evidence, the gang gets | wise, and a merry chase ensues. The second attraction on the dual, bill at the 20th Century tomorrow, “I Cheated the Law,” shows Steve Brodie, as a gang chief, over-step- ping his bounds. when he triple- crosses his lawyer, enacted' by Tom Conway, into defending him on a murder charge. | But the law, and the lawyer, catch up with the unprincipled | gangster with a vengeance.
