RENOWN THEATRE
TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW "The Citadel" is a dramatically powerful story of a young doctor who barters his ideals for worldly riches. A dramatic love story is unfolded in the account of the young surgeon who struggles among the' miners and marries a humble schoolmistress. There is agonising suspense when he descends into a mine that has col-
lapsed 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 more dramatic on the screen, without an alteration, but because of the added power of visible action. Donat is outstanding as the disillusioned young doctor, and Miss Russell has the best role of her career as his sympathetic wife. Ralph Richardson and Rex Harrison, two of Britain's most capable actors, appear as fellow-doctors with Donat, and their performances are excellent.
