Among the commendable players are Joanna Morris, Juliet Mills, Marcie Ashton, Margaret Courtenay and, in the play's best scene, Jerry Verno.

Part of the recent vogue for antiheroes, "Alfie" unfolds with fascinating but ultimately negative force. ton has limited any display of finer emotion to a few of the transient intruders upon Alfie's me-only life.

Wayne out of the West but you can't take the West out of John Wayne. In "Circus World," the new Cinerama attraction at the Hollywood Warner Theater, Wayne, as Matt Masters, invades Europe with his Circus and Wild West Show. The picture, shot in Super Technirama-70 and Technicolor and converted to the one-eye Cinerama process, may lack some of the brightness of the three-panel screen, but it has been beautifully photographed by Jack Hildyard and Claude Renoir and is an improvement over the garish-ness of "Mad World," also one-eyed. In fact, "Circus World" can be recommended as just the evening for a whole family in wistful search of bang-up entertainment. Despite the backgrounds, which range through Barcelona, Paris, Hamburg, Toledo (Spain) and Vienna, the film has a definitely American feeling, having been created by Samuel Bronston, producer; Henry Hathaway, director; John Decuir, production design; Dimitri Tiomkin, music, and no less than five writers Ben Hecht, Julian Halevy, James Edward Grant, Philip Yor-dan and Nicholas Ray.

Too, its principals are, besides Wayne, Rita Hayworth, Lloyd Nolan, Richard Conte and John Smith plus Claudia Cardinale and a scattering of German circus folk. While the new process loses some of the "surround" of the earlier Cinerama, one has a strong sense of participation during the many colorful parades, big-ring acts and especially the current two thrillers the keeling-over of the gaily bedecked circus ship in Barcelona harbor and a climactic tent fire. The period is 1910. The excuse for Wayne's taking his troupe to Europe is that he has carried a 14-year torch for Miss Hayworth. who disappeared after the suicide of her husband, the flying Alfredo, and believes he may find her somewhere there.

With him is Miss Hay-worth's daughter (Miss Cardinale), whom he has raised and who is training to be a high-trapeze artist. A supplementary romance develops between her and John Smith, a rider from rodeo. Their performances are at least routinely efficient, Wayne seeming to care and presenting his more ingratiating self. Miss Hayworth is appealing and so are the young romancers. And director Hathaway uses a pro's skill continuously to blend laughs, pathos and excitement.

Good show. 'Emil and the Detectives' "Emil and the Detectives," the Walt Disney feature for the holidays, falls somewhere between the moppet trade and not-too-discriminating adults. It's a kind of modern German "Oliver!" though without the singing (tinkly, old-fashioned jazzy music is played by the Berlin Symphoniker), and while it was filmed over there the language spoken here is English. It is a remake of a semi-classic by Erich Kastner, but few will remember the first version (1931). Besides, it has been updated to postwar Berlin.

The picture, in Technicolor, is of the comedy-suspense genre. A 10-year-old boy, Emil (Bryan Russell), is bus-bound to the city to visit his grandmother. Dozing, he awakes to discover the 400 marks pinned inside his coat missing, and his seatmate also. Emil pursues the man, a potty thief (Heinz Schubert) and is soon joined by another boy (Roger Mobley), who offers the services of his band of "detectives." The petty thief is trailed and the boys stumble on something bigger than Emil's 400 marks a plot by Schubert, Peter Elhrlich and Walter Slezak, "the baron," to tunnel from a bombed-out ruin into a near-by bank. All sorts of spooky happenings occur, both inside and outside the ruin, culminating in a hilarious climax which brings together half the juvenila population of Berlin.

Slezak and his pals, known as the three skrinks, art-amusing in their blundering progress and the many kids respond enthusiastically to Peter Tewksbury's direction, among them being Brian Richardson as "the the Johnson twins, Ron and Rick, and Cindy Casseli. The screenplay is by A. J. Carothers. An accompanying featurette in this city-wide showing is "The Tattooed Police Horse." This is a quasi-documentary relating the ups and downs of a trotter, Jolly Roger, who regularly breaks his stride during a race.

Chayefsky, who has won note as a writer for stage, screen and television (his play "Marty" was turned into an Academy Award-winning film), has yet to write a novel.

How effective it is as en-tertainment depends greatly on how much an individual is interested in th erratically amusing, sometimes hilariously funny activities of a very nasty character. Terence Stamp brings biting vitality to the part, leaning forward in a sequence of narrative asides to the audience, then quickly getting back into the tawdry marathon of amorous dalliance with sundry partners. "It don't do to be dependent on anyone in this life," is the slogan of his cockney slang, selfishly cruel existence.
