Miss Lamarr turns in a scintillating performance as Madeleine Demien, the editor whose series of ro- smances dissatisfies her to the point of seeking psychiatric assistance and, as a -result, building herself a new life which Etitkes a serious snag when a out, from the past to nearly Ji her. s the two principal men who affect her decision, John Loder and Dennis O'Keefe typify Madeleine's past and future. Loder is the wealthy egocentric who 1s used to acquiring what he wants, be it more wealth or a woman. And O'Keefe portrays an earnest young scientist who enters Madeleine's life after she has cut adrift from her old world. } Also turning in stellar performances are Morris Carnovsky as the psychia- trist and Willlam Dundigan, Natalie Schafer and Paul Cavannagh, all as co-workers on 'the magazine. Robert Stevenson has directed the nuance and bulld development upon pieture, to bring out every dramatic | development to the courtroom climax 'which solves the scandal and resolves | Madeleine's struggle. ADDED TREAT In addition to the two outstanding feature hits being : offered at the Odeon-Biltmore . Theatre the first two days of' next week, the management has added the exlusive, official motion pictures of the World's Middleweight Championship Fight between Tony Zale and Marcel Cerdan taken a few days ago at the ringside. As this was one of the best bouts of recent years, all "House on 92nd Street") makes the picture a vivid, living experience. "Call Northside 777" is based on a case which you may have read about. In November, 1933, a guy named Joe-- Joe jczek--was found guilty by.a Chicago jury of the murder of police- man William D. Lundy, and was sen- tenced to serve 99 years in the Illinois State Penitentiary. On August 17, 1945, the prison gates swung open for Joe, and the State gave him $24,000 for 13 years of wrongful imprisonment. "Call Northside 777" unfolds the story of the battle that won for Joe, known in the film as Frank Wiecek, his freedom.* It is a story of a mother's unshakeable faith in her son's inno- cence. (The film's title is the phone number she inserted in a newspaper ad offering $5,000--saved penny by penny from her earnings as a scrubwoman-- for information leading to the real murderer.) But most of all, it is the story of a stubborn newspaper reporter and his fight against overwhelming odds to track down and uncover new the fully human portrayal that adds up to the finest performance of his career, Richard Conte as the imprisoned man, Lee .J. Cobb as the city editor, and Helen Walker as Stewart's wife are ex- cellent, as are Betty Garde, Kasia Orza- zewskl and Joanne de Bergh in other important roles.

The net result is that the "Wets" were de- feated by exactly the same amount --two votes. The "Wets" polled 494 votes and the *"Drys" scored 333 votes. The affirmative side, however, on" such issues, must have a three-fifths | majority or, in this case 496 votes. | The "Wets" had 494. In rendering his decision, Judge | Anderson commented on the close ness of the voting and said: "This is certainly a case where a re-count could properly be asked for." In, the light of this he did not imposé' costs on either party and refunded the deposit of the applicants. Appearing on behalf of the "Wets" was Malcolm 'Robb, Belle- ville, while B. R. Collins, of Tweed, appeared for the "Drys". The voting was held on August 25. . FOURTH LARGEST Madagascar is the world's fourth largest island. .MON. CHARLES uo BNDS TODAY!
