[ 1 100. 0008 on td arnhaiss Bd W. Somerset Maughan wrote the play, Bette Davis is the star. The film is "The Letter," long awaited by movie audiences throughout the country, which promises to offer magnetic entertainment when it screens at the Alcyon on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. & Wednesday and Thursday of next week are doubleâ€"feature nights. Practically everyone is a detective fiction fan; and every fiction fan believes Ellery Queen one of the greatest of all amateur gleuths. It is good news, therefore, that "Ellery Queen, Master Detective," starring Ralph Bellamy and Margaret Lindâ€". say, can be seen on these two eveâ€" nings. The other film combines roâ€" mance, rollicking comedy and rapid fire action. The thrilling story of "Here Comes the Navy" is so timeâ€" ty that, heeding popular demand, it ._mwmzwhf%czflg. It stars James Cagney a at O‘Brien as two of the toughest tars that ever sailed the seas. || Garden Club To Hear â€" D. K.

Her playing has been described as "plittering," "spectacular," and~ "full of Roman _eandles." 3 CEELECLEUE® Behind such music one might exâ€" pect a personality equally fiery and | tempestuous, but as & matter of fact, Miss Mildner is quiet, shy and> selfâ€"effacing. Blonde and clearâ€" skinned, she looks more like a high school~girl than a mature concert artist. j + Questioned about herself, she is apt to shrug her shoulders diffidentâ€" ly and remark, "there is nothing to say." In the winter she finds little time for pursuits other than the piano. In summer, she says, it is a little different. Then she swims, drives her car, and takes walks in the woods with "Dollie," her Schnauâ€" zer puppyâ€" A America she finds pleasantel Li0° when she first visited here eight years ago. That year she and her mother lived a ionely life in trains and hotel rooms, unable to make friends because of their limited "travelers‘ English." Now things are different, for the language is no longer a barrier and America has taken her to its heart. Miss Mildner will appear in Highâ€" land Park at the High School audiâ€" torium on the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 8:30. Tickets for this single recital are available now at the Treasure Chest, 390 Central avenue, Highland Park. 2t Marionette Show At .
