“FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS”
Brilliant light comedy, making play of the conflict between heart and head , aroused by an incurable flirt in sus- .. , ceptible young diplomats, is provided J in “French Without Tears.” Witty j dialogue, a ploi which is an aehieveI ment. and a succession of changing , j situations—mainly unexpected arc l matched by the acting of a cast without a weak member. To the sparkle f and romance of the story Ellen Drew and Ray Milland add the principal share, five others lending a flawless support being Janice Darcey, Guy J Middleton, Jim Gerald. Roland Culver, and David Tree. The scene is a school for diplomats and others in France. s The only subject. French. is being I taught by a meticulous professor to Iwj would-be ambassadors, a naval l commander, and a would-be commercial magnate.
