It marks the 25th year that George Seaton, author and director, has been co-producer with Bill Perlberg in a series of dramatic and usually exciting films. last that he has been bamboozled he plans a last minute stratagem which appears to work and there is an escape which has every value as to suspense, thrill and final victory. "36 Hours" is a picture to keep an audience stimulated every step of the way.

Their current offering lives Stars in Gambling Film pto what most people expect It'j handsomely produced, too. Pearlberg and Seaton of the men who made Coun where the two meet. Later they haven't spared expense to terfeit Traitor" and "The Madwoman of Chaillot" there is a rare theatrical atmosphere of fantasy and philosophic truth that may seem easy to summon but isn't. Yet Wednesday night, as the fourth production of the season, the Charles Playhouse presented a production that captured most of the wit, wisdom and wonder of the Giraudoux classic. I say most because the focus of the play was marred during a crucial scene in the second act Nonetheless, for the better part of the evening, the production was genuinely admirable.

Initially produced on Broad Bridges of Toko-Ri" in that it sewers oi Pans. The play is written with vivid imagination, with start-lint; insight, and an often unsettling combination of subtle-ly and power. Edged as it is with realism, the fantasy is perfectly sustained, and Giraudoux' message, the penultimate triumph of the small, hounded and perhaps demented "little people" over the moneyed rationalists, is comforting antidote to the current bleakness of the Theater of the Absurd. Under Michael Murray's gen make the backgrounds convincing, even if they were photographed in the Yosemite in deals with fast action, intngU' stead of the Black Forest. "Bay of Angels" at the West End Cinema is designed to show the compulsions, the fascinations, the excitement of gambling in Europe.

In this it only partially succeeds. The romantic gamblers are an exquisitely middle-aging Jeanne Moreau, and handsome young ing characterization and a logical conclusion. It is the kind of cinema in which heroes are real heroes, not ambivalent I liked James Garner as the major. He's an upstanding young man who might well be associated with cloaks and Triangle by Two adventurers. You know you'd never be as brave as Major Jefferson Pike, but just the play at Juan-les-Pins, Cannes and Monte Carlo.

They live ia luxurious hotels- when the little black ball drops into the right slot; at other times they are near squalor at fly-by-night establishments. A love affair between the two is not the answer to their inner tensions; gambling is in their blood and nothing else proves more than mildly satisfying. Miss Moreau is one of the most admired actresses in modern France. She is quite able to hold the center of the screen with her sparkling personality. But since this is a daggers, modern derring-do, Claude Mann, but while they are decorative to look at, they manage to make the gam same, you'd like to be.

He needs little subtlety but much dynamic personality to The Polish Mime Theater, presenting five short works tomorrow night through Saturday in John Hancock Hall, combines dance, music and drama. bling procedure itself appear It's difficult to sort out the situations at the beginning of the story I am not sure even erally excellent direction, the play moves with a wispish kind of grace. But it falters, I play Maj. Pike. Rod Taylor, on the other hand, doesn suggest entirely a wily psychiatrist.

He is a half-hero, half-villain. But what a magnifi way in 1949, the piay is a satiric examination of a world where vice runs rampant until routed by a fantastic Countess, of "unstable mentality," whose sense of beauty is more significant than the easy commercial progress of civilization, which Giraudoux represents in a retinue of Presidents, Prospectors and Press Agents. These gen-j tlement hope to discover oil1 feel, in the important trial scene in the second act when the Ragpicker is chosen to defend those who would plunder the world. The Ragpicker is now that I understatnd what the Allied officials had in mind when they sent Maj Pike off to Lisbon with his head crammed with top secret information about the day and place of the dull and dreary. True, they have their triumphs.

They also have their disasters. And what is hard for this non-gambler reviewer to understand is where they keep getting the money with which to gamble further. They announced every sou is gone. Their pockets are empty. Thev have used their exceptionally well-played by cently cruel and wicked Nazi leader is Werner Peters, and it is a joy to see him get his eventual, ironic come-uppance.

She seems instead daftly sober and soberly daft, and she never overdoes the incipient showiness in the role. itself on garrulity, or rather Anyway, he is captured by some of the magic now elud duel between the man and the woman, the veteran star should have a stronger actor than Demy in order to incur more excitement. Alone Miss Moreau must bring the dazzle and the shine to "Bay of Angels." And while she achieves Eva Marie Saint is attractive beneath the city of Paris, ing him in the second act, the the pitch of the performance is not evenly maintained.

Then, from that point on, the which can then be employed production may well be one the Germans through the old-fashioned (and still good) method of doping his coffee. Then comes a weird plot in to start a full-scale war of the best at the Playhouse.

But up they come with another 10,000 francs and again they lavish their new fortune on the roulette wheel.

The Countess is, of course, mad, and she is surrounded by a group of Parisian vagabonds equally mad.
