July 5, 1957 The Prince' Is Breezy Romp BY JEAN WALRATH ARILYN Monroe and Sir Laurence Olivier went into their long-heralded clinch yesterday at the Paramount, and there wasn't an unshin-' ing in the house. That moment like most of them in "The Prince and the Show Girl" finds the audience in a I state of glee. Here is a comedy concocted of schmaltz with elegance and much clowning and Miss Mon- roe and Sir Laurence appar-; ently having a wonderful time. There's an unabashed ab-' surdity about the preceedings that might be easily trans-.

formed into low comic opera. By what we have come to re- gard as good standards for movie-making, it is a shoddy offering, but one can name few fine movies that have of-? fered half as much fun. TERRACE RATTIGAN'S script from "The Sleep- ing Prince," concerns a show girl from Milwaukee who finds herself the object of the cov-' etous eyes of a grand duke from the mythical kingdom of Carpathia. The duke has plans for a quiet evening at the embassy in London and speci- fically for seduction. But be-) cause he has underestimated the American blonde, the tables are turned and it is the 1 duke who becomes the object of the lady's pursuit.

After a night at the Carpa-, thian embassy and two days of involvement in the affairs of the royal family, La roe, has progressed quite a way from the footlights of a girl show. She fascinates a i young king, the son of the duke, his grandmother, the Queen, and the duke himself. The formalities of the royal household are formidable at first but before the spree is ended the show girl has been comandeered by the queen as her attendant at coronation festivities in Westminster.

Well, anyway, the story has Mitchum, as a Hemingwayish bum, teamed up with Lemmon, an Indiana kid out for kicks, as co-owners of a boat. They are contracted to take the lady to the States from Trinidad or Tobago, or somewhere in the West Indies. Mitchum spots her immediately for what she is and treats her accordingly. Lemmon, foolish youngster that he is, sees only a woman who has been kicked around once too often. He offers sympathy and understanding.

THE LATTER half of the offering, however, does provide suspense of a sort when Lemmon, becomes trapped in the smashed bow of a Greek freighter. Not only is he trapped, but the aft hold is full of burning raw rubber, which is fast getting out of control.

If ever a piece of stage writing deserved to be consumed by the flames it is the screenplay for this film.

Fortunately, a strong cast takes up most of the slack and makes it pretty fair entertainment. Everyone must know by now that Rita returns to the screen in this one, though it's hard to see why. The three-year layoff Miss Hayworth took for herself has aged her considerably. However, we do have tough-type Robert Mitchum, fair to bursting out of his dirty t-shirt, and Jack Lemmon turns in a first-rate performance combining his usual wackiness with a bit of straight dramatic emoting. TRWIN SHAW must be cast as the "heavy" here, for he penned the script from the Max Catto novel.

And Mr. Shaw spared not a slobbering word in establishing himself as the Carribean poor man's Nelson Algren. The low point is reached when Miss Hayworth, who is cast as an island trotter who has had a product on the market for some time, draws pnrve G6. -ooo By Request "THREE COINS IN A FOUNTAIN" Gene Kelly Dan Dalley "IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER" Doors Open 6:1 5 "Coins In Fountain" at 6:45 10:00 1000 Cars Free Port lea K.

TODAY p0 1 8:30 Mt By HARVEY SOUTIIGATE "OPERA Under the Stars" became opera under the rain last night to the disappointment of an estimated persons who had turned out in holiday mood to enjoy the first of this year's opera productions in the Highland Park Bowl. As a steady drizzle settled down midway of the second act of "Hansel and Gretel," Director Leonard Treash reluctantly stopped the performance. Even if the audience could stand the rain, he explained, the orchestra instruments could not. A second performance will be given, as scheduled, tomorrow night. The abrupt ending was especially hard to take because in the huge crowd were thousands of children who had been lured by the fairy character of the opera.

If the weather had been favorable, officials believe the audience would have been a near record breaker. Even as it was, it flowed to the limits of the park and listeners were seat New Western Stars Anthony By JOSEPH LUDEWIG "The Ride Back," opened at the Regent yesterday, starring Academy Award Winner Anthony Quinn as an accused murderer who is brought back from Mexico to stand trial in Scottsville (in the wild West, not Monroe County) by a scared lawman (William Conrad). a i the lawman, makes the trip for Kallen (Quinn) alone and is determined to complete the job successfully. He confides to Kallen that he has never been a success neither in marriage nor his job. On the other hand, Kallen is a cocksure and arrogant he-man, never scared and full of courage.

The ingredients, are here for a study of contrasts between the two men and it is up to the viewer to judge how well this job is done. There is a woman, Quinn's Mexican girl friend, played by Lita Milan. She is beautiful and loyal and follows Quinn to try to rescue him but without success. Apache Indians have been added for a little excitement. Quinn and Conrad spot them, then lose them, then come upon an isolated home where the Apaches have murdered two women and a little girl.

The two men grimly bury the dead and stumble through a AVERI OVERTURE ALJpJa I IeJN LAKESHOREaYASIiniBTDn wtrsnu LING RD. BETWEEN DEWEY AVE. I GREENIEAF ID. PHONE CHARLOTTE 1-2221 fmm long Pend Id. er Ml.

Unhappily, the rain came just as the children were lost in the great forest but before the lovely Dream Pantomine music which is the hallmark of this opera. Neither had the wicked witch yet appeared, nor the dancing angels (materialized for the occasion by Olive McCue's Mercury Ballet) nor the Gingerbread Children. All of these have rehearsed faithfully and on the word of Director Treash were prepared for a winning performance.

Better luck tomorrow. It would have been hard to improve on the casting of the principal characters. Carol Dawn Moyer was physically a perfect Gretel, and she sang and acted charmingly. Marjorie Hall was likewise just right as Hansel, a part written for a mezzo-soprano voice. As the broom-maker father, William Duvall was in fine voice and acted with spirit, and Sallie Coss as the mother sang effectively and carried this part in the right mood.

Owing to the rain, Carolyn Sixby did not get a chance to show as the witch, nor Shirley McGaugh in the double part of Sandman and Dewman. Evan Whallon, well remembered from past seasons, was the efficient conductor and Clarence and Betsy Hall again had charge of the scenic designs. William Gannett, chairman of the Advisory Committee of this city-sponsored project, welcomed the audience to another season of opera.

V.VJ ed on the grass as far away as South Avenue. Undismayed by two hard showers early in the evening or by threatening clouds that seemed to grow denser as the evening wore on, thousands arrived early and sat through to the end. Enough of the opera was presented to convince those who have heard all of the previous performances in a series now in its fifth season, that this was fully up to the standard set in the past. It is no longer news that these productions are grand opera in all that the term implies, subject, of course, to the limitations of a small stage and the difficulties of keeping voices and orchestra in balance in an outdoor setting. So far as the singing and the stage business are concerned, the productions are all that grand opera should be.

JN THE ACT and a half pre- sented last night, the audience heard a good share of Humperdinck's entranci ot Regent Quinn prayer (neither has thought much about God, which in Quinn's case distresses a cleric relative of his girl friend). One little girl survives the massacre and Quinn and Conrad bring her with them. However, the little girl dislikes Conrad (the good man) and likes Quinn (the bad man). This little girl's love for Quinn eventually turns Quinn into a hero and gives the picture the proper ending. This is after the Apaches make another appearance, seriously injuring Conrad.

The mood of the story, and some explanation, is given in the accompanying ballad which Eddie Albert sings plaintively on the sound track. The sepia photography also helps. Conrad doubled as producer for Associates and the Aldrich Co. Anthony Ellis wrote the story and Allen H. Miner directed.

The second feature was a pleasant bit of nonsense showing a chubbier (yes, chubbier) and older Bud Abbott and a somewhat slimmer and grimmer Lou Costello. But the two clowns retain their legendary sense of humor in a weakly plotted story involving an orphanage, the child welfare department, a gang of crooks, $200,000 in "hot" money, and a children's amusement park. The title is "Dance With Me Henry" which gives no inkling of the actual story. Showtimes Today MUSIC Kilbourn Hall Eastman Chamber Orchestra, Frederick Fennel) conducting; 8:17.

SHOWS START AT DUSK KIDDIES UNDER 12 ALWATS FREI 'J'HE DUKE, reduced from a tough and foxy diplomat to a maudlin lover, flings kisses around the palace and the curtain comes down on a triumphant Marilyn, strutting from the scene in a white evening dress she has worn for two days and a night, cov-. ered with a dirty tan raincoat. As an actress, Miss Marilyn Is wonderful. She stands up delightfully to the famous talents of Sir Laurence, who is a new and awesome clown as the Balkan duke. He uses his wicked eye to great effect as he glares through a monocle at the impudent and captivating blonde, even when at his capitulation he is hissing: "I love you, darlink." The silly spirit of the comedy is spoiled by the real-life film clips used to show a British coronation ceremony and parade.

It's almost too much to bear when Marilyn's face, tear-stained with emotion, is superimposed on the vaulted arches of Westminister, but that rude interruption is quickly over and almost forgotten at the end but not forgiven. Sybil Thorndike as the queen does a fine comedy bit and Richard Wattis is a sophisticated and charming deadpan as the British major domo of the embassy. ACROSS 1. Meal 7. Enrolled 13.
