Starring James Ste- wart and co-starring Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey and Thelma Ritter this Alfred Hitchcock - produced and directed piece of celluloid ex- citement races along with the speed of a jet. Set against a background of New York’s most intriguing neighbor- hood, Greenwich Village, ‘(Rear Window” is peopled with just the kind of characters that you migit expect to meet in such a place, There is James Stewart, as a fam- ed photographer who is confined to his Village apartment with a breken leg; Grace Kelly, his ca- Teer girl fiancee; Wendell Corey, Stewart’s wartime buddy, now a homicide detective; Thelma Rit- ter a wisecracking insurance com- pany nurse; and Raymond Burr, an ominous looking neighbor. As Stewart sits in his wheel chair all he has to do to kill time is stare out of his window at his neighbors. One dark night, while wiling away his time in just such a way he hears a scuffled scream, the sound of broken glass and then 2 foreboding silence that sends shi- vers up his spine. He believes that what has occurred has been a bru- tal murder and he suspects one of his neighbors to be the slayer. The tension mounts as Jimmy gets closer and closer to the solu- tion of the mystery and then, in a true Hitchcock climax, the issue tascam and irrevocably set- ‘The overall acting of the prin- cipals is superb. The danger they find themselves in is uncannily transferred to the audience, the re- sult being that each and every mo ment of the film spells a grim fore- boding of present danger lurking in their midst, This-feeling is a Pirate Movie Will Be Shown At The Monroe Hailed as a vivid screen epic of buccaneering, “Blackbeard, the Pi- rate,” produced by Edmund Grain. ger for RKO Radio, comes as a challenge to all former sagas of de. predations and romance in the Caribbean. The elaborate production, in co- lor by Technicolor, stars Robert Newton, Linda Darnell, William Bendix and Keith Andes, with a supporting cast of several hundred, in which Torin Thatcher is featured as Sir Henry Morgan. Stressing action, adventure and battles, the melodramatic show was directed by Raoul Walsh, ve- teran master of this brand of en- tertainment. Dramatizing the bloody era of | piracy in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the film depicts the historic conflict to the death be- tween Blackbeard and Morgan jn a Caribbean: locale. Numerous hand-to-hand encount- ers between the rival bands of bue- caneers, with emphasis on sword- play and cutlass-wielding, aboard ships and on shore, highlight the action. Exciting and provocative romance is supplied by Miss Dar- nell, as the dynamic heroine, and by Andes as a young sea-roving swashbuckler. Bendix, as the infamous Black- beard’s first mate, is presented in a radically new type of character- zation. Irene Ryan, noted night- club entertainer, makes her bow as a featured comedienne in the |: seagoing saga.

The funeral for the 42-year-old dressmaker and noted partygiver was the biggest and most stylish this fashion cap- ital has seen in years. Nearly 3,000 persons, most of them women, jammed into the fashionable St.Pierre de Chaillot Catholic Church to witness the rites. More than a thousand others, also nearly all women, strained police ‘lines on the sidewalks. Traffic in the vicinity was snarled for hours. Police said only one woman fainted. Nearly everyone who interested Fath was there from the humble young midinettes who worked their needles on his creations to the heavily minked women who bought and wore them. There were the cloth manufac- turers, the dress dealers, the ac- cessory salespéople, the manne- quins and scores of the women who once wore or dreamed of wearing a Fath gown, plus celeb- rities from diplomatic, govern- BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS 20% OFF ON ALL PAINTS Monroe Specialty Co. 1930 FLAGLER AVE. mental and movie circles and a | throng of curious.
