Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 7, No. 10 October 4, 1944

[Introduction]

Review in this issue contain dirty cracks at just about everything and everybody. The doldrums are with us again in films, and Repertory next produces a drawing room comedy. Brightest rays on the horizon is that Rep. intends to produce "Alice in Wonderland" at the end of November and Unity Theatre will do "They Came to a City," by Priestley. This should be something. Williamsons return here shortly with further vapid plays "Kiss and Tell," and "The First Mrs. Carroll." Ho-hum.

At the Shows : Monty Woolley and Gracie Fields are grand in "Holy Matrimoney." "Gung-Ho" tells about the Marine Raiders. "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" is in colour. A frightful waste of talent goes on in "The Impostor," where Jean Gabin and Director Jules Duvivier combine to make a very misleading film. And, God save us, another Hollywood bandwagon arrives this week yclept "Follow the Boys," Even Orson Welles is billed as "guest Star."
