Warner Ray Evans Jay Livingston By MARJORY ADAMS Smashing drama of the old-fashioned kind, plus elegant perceptive characterization of the modern school, combined to make "Sunset Boulevard" one of the greatest films of the decade.

This union of old and new is reflected in the plot itself, which describes the macabre romance of a recluse, aging silent film star, played by Gloria Swan-son, and a brash up-to-date young screen writer, depicted by William women. "Sunset has everything from nostalgia to a murder and the only part about the Pic ture that I regret is the fact that 1,000,000 gullible fans will believe it is the true story of its star, smart, successful Miss Swanson. Actually the plot is as fanciful as its authors can create, but so deft and expert are the trio, headed by Charles Brackett, in making the plot convincing and believable, that is appears to be the authentic history of a star of the silent days. The film has so many excellent qualities, so much brilliance in direction and acting, that the faults in its construction are only minor disappointments. The chief trouble is that the narration is done by a man already dead.

Of course, the high note in "Sunset Boulavard'ls the magnificent impersonation of Miss Swanson. playing a pathetic actress, whose triumph are all in the past, who hears faintly the long-dead applause as she hides away in the neglected mansion where she has retired in luxurious isolation. The woman's mind is so filled with her career as a silent star that she pays no heed to what has happened in pictures or in life in the new generation. Into that musty splendor intrudes a cynical and penniless writer, at tempting to get away from the men who would take back his unpaid for automobile. Norma Desmond sees him first as a man sent to her for help in the script she is writing about "Salome" for her film comeback.

Lawrence Tierney Bruce Bennett nu5 Anne Vemon "2T etor 4 Stapleton Kent Peter Virgo 5am Charles Sherlock "Shakedown" introduces the kind of hero best known as a "heel" and Howard Duff, handsome and powerfully built, plays him to perfection. But for the sake of the many newspaper photographers whom I know and respect, I must admit I never met or heard of one like Jack Early, the character delineated by Duff in the Universal film at the Rt K. O. Boston Theatre. Jack was an opportunist of the WOrst SOrt.

He'd 1p mar. ho. friend him financially and then turn on me man ne couia blackmail someone else into giving more monev. He cot his inH hv mirtnn to a pretty picture editor, and, when ic iuuuu iuhi ne coma play ootn ends against the middle and grab Off biff tnnnev Viv nf -CT .7 ti'-OJlll gangster photographs which he ob- iamej on ine spot, jiariy was on his way up. Or maybe on his way down.

He himself says he started on the bottom and from then on he dug a hole. Anyway, Early falls in love with a married woman snH tiaim uiaugc for the husbands sudden demise in fact gets a perfect photograph of it. At the same time he makes a play for the picture editor because he has his incriminating negatives hidden in her apartment. With grim humor he slips them under the photograph of her Portland dentist fiance. Meanwhile Early gets smart pictures of people falling to their deaths, doing nothing about saving them, satisfied if he has a well posed photograph of the tragedy.

You: can guess what happens to Early by the end of the story. And, amazingly, he gets the picture of the year as he gets his just rewards for his villainous conduct. Duff does a straightforward Job as Early; Anne Vernon is charming as the French widow and Lawrence Tierney appears as the menacing Colton. Bruce Bennett has a milk-toast role as a newspaper editor. "Congolaise," the second picture, is a full length French photographic expedition to the Ogowe River in the Congo.

Is Tom Conway married and who is his brother.

Babe of Berwick. A 1. Bill's real name is William Paul Lundigan, he was born in Suracuse. N. on June 12, 1914, of American and Irish descent.

When he made his first film he was called Larry Parker but he demanded that he be allowed to use his own name. At Syracuse University Lundigan planned to be a lawyer, but he switched to radio. During the war he yas a Marine. It was at Quan-tico, that he met Hena Morgan, to whom he is now married. Bill is working on "I'd Climb the Highest Mountain," with Susan Hay-ward, and he is also in "I'll Get By," with June Haver, Gloia De-Haven and Harry James.

He is with 20th-century Fox, for whom he will make "The Reluctant Landlord," with Anne 2. Tom Conway's brother is George Sanders, he married Lillian Eggers in 1943, and his last Fox film was "I Cheated the Law." lover when te woman tempts him with easy living and the comforts that her millions can give him. Later he tries to return to the girl of his own age with whom he has fallen in love. Norma Desmond's mind snaps; tragedy results. And when Norma is led off by the police she thinks she is making the big scene of her new film.

The picture is not all heavy drama. There are some delightful moments, especially when Miss Swanson gives her memorable impression of Charles Chaplin and other cinema celebrities of the silent days. Erich Von; Stroheim, playing a butler who was once a top director and Norma's first husband, does a fine job as one of the almost waxwork figures of the old Desmoid estate. He has become his former wife's employee, but he does it with an air of grandeur. William Holden's casual, realistic performance as the writer, contrasts ingeniously with the slower, more flamboyant portrayals of the star and the servant.

You will see many other old faces in the. picture, including Buster Keaton, Anna Q. Nilsson, H. B. Warner and Cecil B.

It's all such foolish stuff no one would believe it. The only time "The Petty Girl" makes the audience show interest is when Joan and some other slick chicks are on the screen in clothes that, leave little to the imagination.

"Cheesecake Frolics" might have been a more suggestive title for the film. There are songs, of course, and some excellent comedy by Elsa Lanchester and Melville Cooper. The production numbers are colorful and gay. Yet the ridiculous and uninte-grated plot mars even the best of the sequences. The most elaborate scene is supposed to.

be a burlesque theatre's impromptu performance of their musical Petty Calendar, with all the luscious beauties showing long, slim legs and very attractive bosoms. Also on the program is "When You're Smiling," with Jerome Court-land. Lola Albright and Frankie Laine. M. L.
