April 1, 1947 THE LEXHIPEP Page 7 MOVIE CHATTER —Adele Tattle It’s April Fool’s Day! No kiddin’l Yet you don’t have to be a fool to enjoy the grand movies that axe going to play at the Auditorium Theatre this month. Some of the screenland’s best productions are going to be here. If you think I’m April Fooling, you, why not finish reading this cinema column and convince yourself? R.K.O.’s “The Locket’’ is playing Thursday and Friday, April 3 and 4. “The Locket” is another one of the now popular psychological dramas, and it stars Laralne Day as the woman who causes all the trouble. It is a very complicated and unhappy picture. First of aU, Miss Day marries a very rich man (Richard Cortez), and while they are giving a parly, Laraine steals a piece of Jewelry from an old lady. The rich husband gets bumped off by Laraine. She then turns to her lover, Robert Mitchmn, who is an artist. He finds out how dirty Miss Day is, so he commits suicide. Enter a psychi atrist in the form of Brian Aheme. He marries Laraine, and they are happy until Laraine goes back to her old tricks. Next we find said lady with a sweetheart (Gene Raymond) and more misfortime. It will take a lot of mental work to keep up with the plot. “Pursued.” Yes, Robert Mitchum is being pmsued this time. But why should he worry? He will get lovely Teresa Wright at the end of this Warner Brothers picture. This is a western mystery with Dean dagger and Judith Anderson. There are many thrills and much suspense in this out door epic. The plot is too good to give away, so see it Monday or ’Tuesday, April 7 and 8. “The Verdict” from Warner Brothers is playing Wednesday, April 9. It stars Sidney Greenstreet, Joan Loring and Peter Lorre. Whether you like history or not, you will enjoy “Magnificent Doll,” which is playing Thursday and Friday, April 10 and 11. Remember reading about James and Dolly Madison and Aaron Burr in your U.S. History book? Well, they are coming to life on the screen in the form of Burgess Meredith, Ginger Rogers, and David Niven. This is the story of Dolly Madison, who was loved by all Americans. It is a good picture, but there have been better ones released by Universal Studios. Turning in another academy award performance, Olivia De Haviland plays twins in “The Dark Mirror.” One of the best psychological murder mysteries ever filmed, “The Dark Mirror” has an unusual twist. A siwpected murderess turns cut to be twins who are so identical that convicting the guilty one becomes almost impossible, until a psychiatrist does some research and unravels the mystery. Lew Ayers gives a superb performance as the psychiatrist and Thomas Mitchell makes a detective seem like a real human being. Thrown in lor good measure is Richard Long. It plays Monday and Tuesday, April 14 and 15. “Two Smart People” stars two of M.G.M.’s brightest stars, LucUle Ball and John Hodiak. Supporting them on Wednesday, April 16, is Lloyd Nolan. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 22, 22, and 23. Mark those dates down, because that is when “Till the Clouds Roll By” is playing at the Auditorium Theatre. One of the most lavish of all M.GM. technicolor musicals, it is the film biography of the late Jerome Kern. Besides being filled with many of Kern’s most beautiful pieces, this great picture is filled with many of M.G.M.’s young stars. Robert Walker gives a convincing i>er- formance as Kern, Van Hefiln plays his life-long friend, Judy Garland plays the great and wonderful Marilyn Miller, and Lucille Bremer is Kerns immortal Sally. Others included in the cast are Van Johnson, Kathryn Grayson, Tony Martin, June Allyson, Virginia 03rien, Dinah Shore, and many others. The highlights of the United Artist picture, “Temptation,” are the exotic settings and impressive but beautiful costumes. Its stars are Merle Oberon, George Brent, Paul Lukas, and Charles Korvin.
