Katherine Anne Porter gathered
a variety of characters for her
study in contrasts in "Ship of
Fools," which remained for a long
time on the best seller lists.
As a movie, "Ship of Fools,"
now at the Trans-Lux Krim, is
equally great and deserves the rat-
ing among the very best films of
the year.

But perhaps the most impressive
scene in the entire play is when

from his wife — having left her to

La Scala Performance j\ U
of 'La Boheme' Will Be(
Shown at Area Theaters
Performances. of the La Scala
opera company production of Puc-
cini's "La Boheme," the Warner
Bros. technicolor production, have
been set for Oct. 20 and 21 at the
Birmingham, Woods, Ramona, Nor-
west, Grand Circus, Mai Kai,
Westown, State in Wayne, the
Royal Oak, Dearborn, Cinema II
in Warren and the Cinema I in
Livonia.
There will be four performances
of "La Boheme" on the two days,
with two matinees and two eve-
n i n g performances scheduled.
Seats will not be reserved, but the
number of seats sold for each per-
formance will not exceed the capa-
city. of the theater, - thereby guar-
.anteeing a seat to each ticket
holder.
The Warner Bros. presentation
of "La Boheme" has been made
possible through the perfection of
sound-recording equipment to the
highest fidelity ever achieved.
Utilizing newly developed sound
techniques, the complete musical
range of the opera has been cap-
tured on film for the first time, in
an exact photographic reproduc-
tion of the brilliant La Scala per-
formance.
