'Mrs. Miniver/ at Palace, Merits Its Lavish Praise Screen Drama of Wartime England Takes Its Place Among Finest And Most Eloquent Films By JAY CARMODY. “Mrs. Miniver,” the most praised motion picture in cinema history opened yesterday at Ioew's Palace. There is nothing left for the critic at this point but to corroborate all that has been said of it, to add his own warmest words of acclaim and bless the screen for thus atoning for its many and grievous errors in the past. As no other medium of expression, the oft despised one of the cinema, tells now the story of how high cour age ana iaun can dp wnen me near is breaking. For the moment a least, the movies have succeede< where all others have failed, in catching the in spiring image of the human spirit in action against the most terrifying gan gers it ever faced. It has stated the al most impossible in terms that are simple and eloquent and to be taken to the heart with warmth and c»rmoa». gratitude. "Mrs. Miniver." which stars Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon, is the more splendid as a piece of inspired screen story telling in that it was written with no such end in mind. Jan Struther, author of the original, wrote a series of vignettes of a vibrant upper middle-class Eng lishwoman in wartime. They made good reading but. their disconnected form left it up to four Metro Goldwyn-Mayer writers to rewrite them into a great movie. They met the requirement nobly with a fin ished script that has caught the courage, the humor, the terror and the tragedy of war, not in abstract terms but in the understandable ones of the very human hearts of the villagers of Belham. England. That makes ‘‘Mrs. Miniver" the perfect picture for its times. s [ "MRS. MINIVER." M-G-M production I sUrrin* Greer Garson end Welter Pidxton. directed by William Wyler, produced by Sidney Franklin, screen play by Arthur Wimperis. Georte Froeschel. James Hilton and Clewline West, based upon the book of Jan Struther. musical score by Herbert Stothart. At the Palace. The Cast. Mrs. Miniver_ Greer Garson Clem Miniver- Walter Pldceon Carol Belden_ Teresa Wrlaht Lady Beldon-Dame May Whltty Foley -Fecinald Owen Mr. Ballard-Henry Travers Vin Miniver_ Richard Ney Vicar-- Henry Wllcoxon Toby _Christopher Stern Gladys (maid).Brenda Forbes Judy Miniver_ Clare Sanders Ad# (cook) _ Marie de Becker German flyer-..Helmut Dantine Fred -John Abbott Simpson- Connie Leon Horace _ Rhys Williams ! their neighbors, great, and small, the ! picture shows without apology and not too sentimentally the class dis tinctions which are dying in Eng land . . . are in proportions recog nizably true and credible. The tone of understatement, or of quiet statement, is constantly present even in scenes more dra matic than those mentioned above. It prevails in the deeply moving passage in which Mrs. Miniver's daughter-in-law is killed by a bomb fragment and in the unforgettable one when the mother waits for her RAF son’s signal when he flys above their home in the darkness of a blackout. In keeping this muted tone i throughout the rich and varied in | cident of his story. Director William Wyler has caught the implication of the quiet, high and admirable courage of the English. Coincident ly, he has enormously heightened the impact of the tale he has to tell. ♦ * * * "Mrs. Miniver” is a picture as blessed in its cast as in its story and director. Greer Garson has done a superlative job in the name role, that of a warm, pretty, simple and great-hearted woman whose love and courage are ample to the most desperate demands of war. Equally good is Walter Pidgeon, as her easy-going, admiring husband; Teresa Wright, as the democratic minded niece of crusty old Lady Beldon; Richard Ney as the Min iver son who leaves Oxford for the RAP; Dame May Whitty as Lady Beldon and Henry Travers as Sta tion Master Ballard. They are but the principal, ones of a large cast which has done enormously well by one of the great pictures of all time. Tickets on Sale Seats for the Festival of Famous Musical Plays, which opens at the Water Gate with "The Chocolate Soldier” Wednesday, will go on sale tomorrow morning at the Cappel Concert Bureau. w w w w The impact of “Mrs. Miniver” lies In its simplicity above all its other qualities. It answers the questions of what happens to life in wartime, intimate family life represented in its smallest and in its most des perate moments. Every moment of war is dramatic, the picture insists, and proves its rightness in a score of ways. It is dramatic, for instance, when pretty Mrs. Miniver, rushing home to her gentle, adoring husband and family, pauses to be extravagant just once more in the purchase of a hat. It is dramatic when she is told by the old station master of Belham that he has cultivated a prize-winning rose and named it after her at the risk of dire reprisal on the part of the town’s stormy old dowager. These are passages to amuse and charm, perfect preludes for the ones of deeper and more deadly Impact which are to come. Included among the latter are so many that could have been overdone: The night Clem Miniver leaves home myste riously and is gone for maddening nays to aid in tne evacuation oi Dunkerque; when Mrs. Miniver is trapped in the kitchen with a des perate, wounded Nazi flyer; when she and her husband and the young est Minivers spend a night of blitz inferno in the bomb shelter while their home above is wrecked. The Minivers are not idealized in to heroic proportions in these dra matic interludes. They are people strange to war and frightened by it, yet brave in their faith and strong in their sense of right. They and r- ~ Where and When Current Theater Attractions and Time of Showing Stage.

Dorsey Band, Revised Form, Receives Ecstatic Welcome Tommy and Men Dominate Stage Show And Everything at Capitol This Week, Including Latest ‘Gillespie’ Film By J. W. STEPP. Whether you like It or not the hard fact is that two trumpets can out-volume a combination of eight fiddlers, one cello and one harp at every turn. It isn't often that one has an opportunity to ponder the point, but this week Tommy Dorsey and his band are on the stage of the Capitol to provide the opportunity amply. Along with several other things that should satisfy the stormy yen of the jitterbug, the swing i«n ana me siuucnt ui bcuusuw. When the curtains first parted, the stage scene for a startling mo ment certainly resembled that of a typical Carnegie Hall concert. But if the recent enlargement of the Dorsey outfit came as a surprise to followers of the dance, it failed to dampen ardor to any noticeable ex tent. Stringed Instruments notori ously are supposed to be the major nemeses of devotees of musical blasting, but if these energetic folk continue to register such shrieking, whistling indorsement as Dorsey s band received yesterday, grounds for that contention never again may be claimed. That Tommy Dorsey knows well the tastes of his followers need hardly be mentioned at this time or any other. Before the initial mob dip had subsided he had signaled his men for “Hawaiian War Chant,” a free interpretation calling for ex ceptional quantities of brass and drum. This number had the effect of needling the throng to a degree heretofore thought impossible, or at least improbable. “Sleepy lagoon,” giving the nice new precision-con scious strings one of their rare chances for recognition, created a lapse almost shudderingly quiet in its restraint. But then the boys were immediately off on things like “Jersey Bounce,” “Well Get Set” and --1 ‘CALLING DR GILLESPIE," »n MGM gicture starring Lionel Barrymore, directed y Harold S. Bucouet.
