Cohen Tight, taut and topical, that "Casablanca." The Freres Warner have a way with these timely tales of high adventure and hard-boiled romance.

"The Maltese Falcon" and "Across the Pacific" were of exactly the same stripe. This one doesn't quite match either of those, but it's still a bang-up show, streamlined for excitement and acted to the teeth. Just the sound of the title itself sends a tingle up and down the spine, and the picture keeps the tingle alive. Warners have assembled a crack cast for it, too. Mr.

Humphrey Bogart gives anything a chill quality and Miss Ingrid Bergman adds just the right touch of mysterious loveliness. For intrigue and villainy, tnere are such assorted and excellent character actors as Mr. Claude Rains, Mr. Sydney Greenstreet, Mr. Conrad Veidt and Mr.

Peter Lorre, and for the role of the hounded Czech patriot, the very able, trenchant Mr. Paul Henreid. And, almost best of all, there's a performance by Mr. Dooley Wilson, who was so good at the Nixon a couple of seasons ago as Little Joe in "Cabin in the Sky" with Miss Ethel Waters, that will send you out of the Penn wondering why the movies have taken so long to get around to him. While the plot the Epstein Twins.

Julius and Philip, and Mr. Howard Koch have cooked up for such a crack company isn't precisely anything to write home about, being a collection of old faithfuls, they have sleeked it up with crackling dialogue, an air of jawbone toughness and a contemporary slant on tne pre-December conflict between the forces of right and evil in North Africa, and Mr. Michael Curtiz, the director, has used his camera so effectively to peek into the dark corners that "Casablanca" actually seems much better than it really is. The electric shocks are hardly as frequent as they were "Across the Pacific," but when they do come, the wal lop's two-fisted and terrific. Chiefly the story's about a tight lipped fellow named Rick who runs a Casablanca cafe, where everybody meets, and of what happens when a girl he once loved in Paris and her husband arrive there on what they hope will be their way to America.

The Nazis are deter- mmea to Keep the husband in Casablanca because he's one of the top men in the underground movement, and Rick alone holds the stolen visas that will mean their freedom. But Rick thinks the girl double-crossed him back in Paris, just before the Germans came, and whenever Sam, at the piano, plays their piece, "As Time Goes By," a maddening wave comes over Rick and all he can think of is ven geance. That enougn ior you to learn here; be assured, however, that the final two reels are "Casablanca's" best and they pack a mighty punch. Mr. Boeart has never been bet ter, nor Miss Bergman so breathlessly beautiful.

Their romance is in the grand tradition of heart break and repression, and tney play it beautifully, with a warm, rich, tensile glow. Mr. ttains comes through with one of his best jobs as the crafty Vichy ponce captain whose sentiments he keeps to him EUGENIE MILLER EDMUND MILLS They're in "Yes, My Darling Daughter," the Mark Reed comedj which will wind up its run at the Pittsburgh Playhouse tomorrow night. Mills scored a hit at the Playhouse earlier this season as the dead-pan caretaker of "George Washington Slept Here," and in the present show plays an entirely different type, a suave, worldly literary agent. Hollywood self, until the end; Mr.

Veidt's Nazi major is on the nose and Mr. Henreid's fugitive is as colorful as it can be among so many far more colorful characters. Although Mr. Greenstreet unfortunately doesnt have too much to do, he does that little well, and Mr. Wilson, with an additional scene or two, would have come within an inch or two of walking away with the picture as Mr.

Bogart's shadow, confidante and camp musician. "Casablanca" won't let you down, not too much anyway. It's a good melodrama, slightly overrated perhaps, but still good to the last drop. Especially the last drop. 'Ecstasy' at Cinema Gets Fifth Week The Hedy Lamarr picture, "Ecs- tqbv" whirh waited six vears io e-et a censor seal in Pennsylvania, goes into the fifth week of its Art Cinema run today.

Alaae in Eur ope before Hollywood had eve heard of Miss Lamarr, who was known ns Hedv Keseler then, the picture is playing here "to adults only." "Ecstasy" Is the story of a young and beautiful girl who marries a wealthy man almost three times her age and then falls in love with an engineer when her husband indicates that he is only passively interested in her. Flag Tails "Bogey" Wherever He Goes Humphrey Bogart is beginning to be superstitious and a little worried about the men in the AEF. He was working in "Across the pa cific" just before the Japs strucK at Ppnrl Harbor. He toiled in "Casablanca." and the Yanks sud denly occupied that French Moroc- can port, tie was at worn, -ration in the North Atlantic" when that sea battle suddenly reached crescendo heights. "Look, fellas." he told Warner Brothers.

"I'll play in any picture you suggest. But please be careful. I don't want to get the boys into Berlin or Tokio until they're ready!" Official Dignitary Wins Role in Film Among the 500 "diplomatic dignitaries" who attended the formal reception in the American embassy in the Soviet capital for scenes in "Mission to Moscow," there is one who is qualified for his role over and above his acting ability. Carlos Barbe, who plays a minister from Uruguay, has just been appointed full-fledged consul in Los Angeles by that country. Mosque Tomorrow Kve Jaan.

21. The whole town's talking about: Bill Hebert's blast at Christy Walsh. The sports promoter has been taking bows for the publicity campaign on "Pride of the Yankees" and Hebert, Sam Goldwyn's chief praiser, says Walsh is talking through his derby. The Harry James' reconciliation and Helen Forrest's feelings in the matter. The sniping, in quarters that should know better, at Noel Coward's "In Which We Serve." Bettina Fritz Kreisler With STiiphony Fritz Kreisler, the world's most- beloved violinist will be the soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra for the first time since its inception, when he appears on its twelfth pair of concerts tonight and Sunday afternoon at Syria Mosque in a performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto.

The program will be conducted by Vladimir Bakaleinikoff, wno is wielding the baton while Dr. Reiner is appearing as guest conductor with the New York Phil- Jharmonic. The entire program follows: Borodin Overture to 'Prince Igor" Rachmaninoff. No. 2, 1n Minor.

Op. 27. Largo. Allegro Moderate Allegro Molto Adagio Allegro Vivace Beethoven Concerto in major, tor Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61.

Allegro ma non troppo Largnetto Rondo. Allegro FriU Kreisler 'Volga Boat Song' Don Cossack 'Must To those in the audience who unfailingly call for a rendition of the "Volga Boat Song" during concert by the original Don Cos sack Chorus, the knowledge may come with a shock that the famous chorus has almost 200 selections in its current repertory, During its concert here tomorrow night at Syria Mosque under Serge Jaroff's direction, it will present a variety of liturgic, folk and sol dier songs. The "Volga Boat Song" is to a Don Cossack concert what "Ave Maria" is to an evening with the great Marian Anderson. Its ab sence makes the recital incomplete Having sung it more than 4,000 times in the last 20 years, the Cos sacks have popularized this sev enteenth century folk-song from Singapore to Sioux City. Its 14-word lyric is now avail able in 53 different languages, and though naturally no one has ever collected a penny in royalties, it has 200 vocal and instrumental ar rangements for solo, ensemble and orchestra.

Observation Post Signs of the times: In a coming tfhodunit, the detective takes one Iok at the body and says, "Definitely 4F." Gene Tierney certainly can't say that Twentieth Century-Fox isn't giving her every opportunity. So far, though, it hasn't helped much. Remem-trer when Walter Slezak, the fat, weaselish Nazi of "Once Upon a Honeymoon," used to come around here in Shubert musicals thin, yontinMitally charming and handsome And that present paunch of hi no make-up job either, William Demarest gets featured billing in "Life Begins at Eight-Thirty" and he's only in one sene. I wish somebody would tell Ginger Rogers that her acting has become terribly trite and affected lately. Strange how much little Ann Carter, who plays Paul Muni's daughter in "The Commandos Strike at Dawn," looks like him.

The Perm has couple of peacheroos coming up fn "Random- Harvest" and "In Which We Serve." I've seen them both, and they're terrific. Director Rene Clair's first-rate job on "I Married a Witch" should be no surprise when you remember that he made another picture along similar lines, the excellent "Ghost Goes West" The nobility Brian Donlevy's had to display in the movies lately must be getting him down. If those zoot suit" crimes hadn't put the word "mugging" into disrepute, Charles Laughton's recent per formances would have I think one of the most under rated comedies of .1942 was Henry Fonda's "The Magnificent Dope And speaking of Fonda, the play that originally won him a movie contract was "The Father Takes a Wife," in which his lead Ing lady was June Walker, now cting Mother Day here in "Life RTCrY LAMAFR "vinnt CARGO" TRllin "ETLEN UN dlhKnU.

When the great scientist fled Germany, among the personal belongings he took with him were fiddle and a newspaper clipping concerning his use of the instrument at a benefit concert in a small German village many years before. The local reporter, sent to interview Einstein, evidently had no idea who he was and, when he inquired, was told: "Why, that's the world renowned Einstein." Knowing nothing of the relativity expert and assuming he had heard one of the world's great fiddlers, the newspaper man got out his Thesaurus, rolled up his sleeves, and extolled Einstein's playing as one of the outstanding marvels in the history of music. "The other geniuses of the violin," he wrote "would have paled had they been there to hear the playing of the greatest master of them all." That clipping is one of Einstein's most treasured possessions. Lillian Hellman's Russian picture, "The North Star," will have an original score by Igor Stravinsky if Sam Goldwyn has his way.
