By GENE HANDSAKER
British-made “Vacation From
Marriage” entertainly pursues the
theme that with a little effort you
can be a snazzier person than you
are.
It also marks the return to the
screen of Robert Donat after some
two years’ absence due to the Eng
lish star’s illness and the appro
priation of British film facilities
and technicians for war. Donat
was last seen as a Romanian dan
dy in the spy story, “The Adven
tures of Tartu.”
In “Vacation From Marriage”
he is a stuffy auditor, sharing a
dull married life with sniffly
Cathy (Deborah Kerr) in a drab
apartment.
War comes, and Robert is draft
ed into the British navy. CatViy,
left alone, joins the Wrens. In the
rigorous, adventurous life apart
from one another, each becomes
more attractive and seemingly
younger. Neither wants to go back
to the same old dud of a mate.
The film was produced and di
rected by Sir Alexander Korda at
MGM London Film Productions,
Ltd.
Miss Kerr, a bcot, appeared on
the London stage with Donat in
Shaw’s “Heartbreak House.” Do
nat is remembered for such films
as “The 39 Steps,” “The Ghost
Goes West,” “The Citadel” and
the picture for which he won the
1940 Academy award, “Good-bye
Mr. Chips.”

Japanese planes which littered the

so popular that the scrap piles
have been stripped clean.
Watch bands made of Japanese
metal command a high price and
small instrument panels bearing
Japanese inscriptions are particu
larly valuable.
Peaches were introduecd into
England from Persia in 1562.
