But the chief value of "Cornered" is the superb portrayal by Dick Powell, the excitement of the chase and its gory conclusion. On the stage, Bobby Sherwood's band tears off numbers like "Elks' Parade" and "Cottontail." Vocal honors are divided among Patricia O'Connor, Jay Johnson, and Lee Sullivan, last seen here in "The Great John For acrobatics there are Ted and Flo, and for comedy, Don Rice, who belongs distinctly to the screwball school of humor.

The two settings of Frederick Fox are among his best. In fact, the only poor thing about "Little Brown Jug" is the title, but perhaps somebody can think up a better one. From this distance it looks as if Courtney Burr has a candidate for cheery box-office statements.

The cast: Don Bimsrn Ray Milland Helen St James June W.vman Wick Birnam Philip Terry Nat Howard da Silvo Gloria Doris Dowlms Bim Frank Fay len Mrs Deveridge Mary Young Mrs Foley Anita Bolster Mrs St James LiHirfn Fontaine Mr St James Lewi? Russell Attendant at Opera Frank Orth By MARJORY ADAMS No picture has come to Boston for years which has had the advance "build-up" of "The Lost Week End," now at the Metropolitan Theatre. It has been awarded prizes and encomiums galore. Ray Milland has been hailed in ecstatic terms as the star of the year for his brilliant performance. In fact "The Lost Week End" has its audiences ali ready to enjoy every second of the production.

This critic believes the picture is anything but a "Show" or "entertainment." As a perceptive, intelligent, keen and honest portrayal of a dipsomaniac, or alcoholic. "The Lost Week End" is magnificent melodrama, a serious study into a disease which too often is delineated in ridiculous guise, and an absorbing attempt to show the misery of drink. People have roared with laughter when they saw "Ten Nights In a Bar Room' they will shudder at the horror and degradation one man manages to pack into his life in a period of five days. Charles Jackson, who wrote the book (which is followed with praiseworthy fidelity) probably never suspected his novel would become the best-seller the booksellers reported. As nearly every-on i knows, "The Lost Weekend" tells what happens when an alcoholic goes on one of his terrific "bats," and it follows the degrees of his drunkeness from mere gaiety and loquaciousness to the shameful scenes when he suffers delirium tremens.

The "hero" is a man who realizes his own weakness yet seems powerless to help himself. Of course there are scenes which will be hard to forget the long trek in which he tries to pawn his typewriter for money to buy drink the waking up in the alcoholic ward of a hospital the sequence in which he cowers in his room helplessly watching an imaginary bat kill a furry, happy little mouse. Korda presents it.

In it Percy Kilbride gives a performance never to be forgotten as a meek little man who is a maniac at heart. Brown Jug" also is different. It is a psychological thriller, and most of the psychology is quite sound for purposes of the theatre.

Miss Baumer has avoided cliches of situation, plot and dialogue, and she has managed to sandwich in between the layers of suspense more than a few legitimate good laughs. She goes about scaring you very quietly, but by the time she reaches her third act you are on edge of your seat at the spectacle of two kind ladies with a sinister male guest in the house. Perhaps the major premise wouldn't stand thorough analysis after you Ret home, but that doesn't matter. "Little Brown Jug" is to be enjoyed for its playing qualities and not to be analyzed. By the way, be sure and arrive in time for the first scene, because if you miss it, you may have a little difficulty figuring out what's happened all during the rest of the play.

Milland plays the role to the hilt, convincing you that he is indeed in the clutches of something bigger than he is and hating his own inability to cope with the situation.

It is she who finally regenerates him, but you cannot feel that it will be clear sailing, despite her loyalty and common sense.

Yet he gradually draws nearer to the discovery of Jarnac's whereabouts by this same savage determination. The climax is terrifying, brutal and somehow satisfying, for when Gerard meets Jarnac there can be only one ending.

This is a play of violence and suspense. Most of the characters are dreadful persons, who lie and kill and intrigue by preference. They have no honesty or decency. Walter Slezak gives a magnificent portrayal of, a professional guide and blackmailer, who will stoop to any foul deed if it brings him money. His affable persistence masks only slightly the ruthless determination of a slimy killer.

Nina Vale is a siren of the old-time Theda Bara type, who uses her obvious female allure to keep Gerard "entertained" while a new murder is committed. Steven Geray appears as her scheming but not too courageous husband. Michelene Cheirel, posing as Madame Jarnac, plays her part his hand before at unpleasant characters, it is still hard to believe he would harm a fly. In "Little Brown Jug" he is Ira. an ostensibly harmless gardener from Maine who, you surely think, must have good morals and votes the straight Republican ticket.

Actually Ira is a psychotic with a persecution complex derived from a lonely childhood. He happens to look on when drunken Henry Barlow, who refuses to give his wife, Carol, a divorce, is slapped by Carol's mother, Irene, and falls to his death from a window of a Maine boat house. Ira promptly fastens himself upon Carol and Irene, with threats of having to tell the truth about what he says the police will regard as murder. He cleverly insinuates himself into Irene's Connecticut house, forces the cook to leave, cuts mother and daughter off from their friends and it looks as if they are stuck with him forever.
