FAMILY TRAGEDY
REVEALED IN BILL,
CAPITOL THEATRE
"They Met at Midnight," which
brings the superb Anna Neagle tc
i the Capitol screen tells the pro
foundly moving story of a girl who
believed to have been drowned after
a shipwreck, returns to her husband
to find him the father of a child by
a second wife.
Miss Neagle plays the girl, Diana
Fraser, who meets the handsome
Capt. Alan Pearson (Michael Wild
ing) during a wartime London
] blackout and, after a whirlwind
! courtship, marries him on the eve
of her orders to sail aboard for duty
with the Waves. When her ship is
sunk by a Japanese submarine,
Diana is one of a handful of sur
vivors who struggle to save both
mind and body during more than a
I year of bleak existence on a tropical
| island.
Bill Weston (Michael Laurence),
! a sailor member of the group of
, castaways, tries in vain to make
' Diana forget the husband who now
i believes her to be dead and who
after a period of despondency, has
married an American Red Cross
worker on the rebound. When the
i castaways are finally discovered and
returned to England, Diana is met
with the shock of discovering not
1 only that Alan has married again
but is the father of a child who
will be termed illegitimate should he
divorce the second wife. How this
dramatic impasse is finally resolved
makes for one of the most gripping
and powerful situations ever de
picted in a screen story.

one—the notice is given so that

and others.
'With only a few exceptions,
drivers have been extremely co
operative. Many comment that the
safety check is a real service for
which they would have to pay oth
rwise.”
Metcalf's office has had several
inquiries as to where the checks
are being, made.
Motorists not complying in ev
ery respect to safety requirements
a^e given warning tickets and
must "validate” them within 48
hours. Metcalf warns that every
vehicle, without exception, must
be checked.
