For Rejer Afiouni 54 433 the voice of the Turtle n its original stage version the voice of the Turtle was about what happened when a girl without four wheel brakes met a Soldier who had been stood up on a Date. It was highly amusing highly immoral and certainly not fodder Lor the Hollywood camera. The movie version which opened at the Odeon theatre Friday was doctored especially for the screen by its author John Van Druten. It differs from its stage predecessor solely by the fact that the two Young people in the movie stand around and wish they could do the things that they Are allowed to do behind the footlights. Thus is propriety and the Johnson office satisfied. This of course does t make for a very logical script. For my Money however it makes a much More pornographic one. However or. Van Druten is an expert enough dramatist and the cast is Well tailored so that the whole thing is carried off in quite Amus ing fashion. The dialogue is liter ate and Breezy the fun is extrac Ted from a number of Bright situations and the chances Are you will have a Chu Klingly Good the.

Morris is in for what Vir Eleanor Parker tally amounts to a bit part ant so Are Kent Smith and John Emery. The voice of the Turtle is a highly amusing excursion into pus a footing around a forbidden screen theme. Silver River the big punch the metropolitan theatre enters the ranks of the double features with its Bill which opened Friday. Moviegoers Are thus treated to an a feature and a hastily concocted b offering on the same Bill. It All amounts to three hours and 20 minutes. Silver River is a grandiose out door melodrama with serious overtones co starring Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan. The com Panion piece is the big punch with Wayne Morris Lois Maxwell and Gordon Macrae in the leading roles. For some reason or. Mac Rae who was hired for films on the strength of his singing ability. Is cast in a non signing role. This is the sort of thing that Only Hollywood can explain. Silver River certainly opens with a punch. The first shots have Errol Flynn burning a million dollars at the Battle of Gettysburg. For this he is bounced from the army and he decides to embark on a ruthless career. Up to this Point it is a conventional enough Errol Flynn vehicle but it soon develops More serious undertones when it becomes apparent that his selfish actions Are leading others to ruin. With another actor in the cast it would have been a much better movie. Or. Flynn is no actor and he does t even try to be. He saunters nonchalantly through his characterization giving it no More than a surface gloss. His part in Silver River deserves better treat ment than this. Wants to marry her miss Sheridan is cast As the woman Flynn wants to marry. The part does not afford her a great Deal of Chance and for some Rea son the sound Man has not been kind to her voice making it even More guttural than usual. Thomas i t Chell does a Fine apiece of work As a Down at the heels lawyer arid Bruce Bennett seems doom Errol Flynn de to play weak Lings forever is miss Sheridan s husband. Tom d Andrea does won Ders with his comedy. Assignment and others in the cast include Barton Maclane and Monte Blue. To be quite Frank about the big is a woefully weak Little picture about a prizefighter who flees new York because he has been framed for refusing to throw a match. He flees to the Little town where Wayne Morris is starting out As a two listed min ister. Morris undertakes to get film out of the scrape. The characterizations Are badly drawn and the whole movie is listless. What s on today River Western feature starts 12.10, 3.30, 6.50, 10.10 the big punch drama feature starts 2.00, 5.20, s .40.
