RENOWN THEATRE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY "The Citadel" is a dramatically powerful story of a young doctor who barters his ideals for worldly riches. A dramatlc love story is unfolded in the account of the young surgeon who struggles among the miners and marries a humble sehoolmistress. There is I agonising suspense when he deseends into a mine that has collapsed to amputate the arm of a , man trapped beneath a fallen timber. There is drama when he : deliberately dynamites a sewer that has been spreading disease but which authorities refuse to remove. ' The moving story has become even 1 morc dramatlc on the screen, without an alteration, but because of ihe addcd power of visible action. Donat is outstanding as the dis1 illusioncd young doctor, and Miss ' Russell has the best role of her c.areer as his sympathetic wife. Ralph Richardson and Rex Hari rison, two of Britain's most capable ; actors, appear as fellow-doctors i with Donat, and their perform- | ances are excellent.
