Civic Theatre
One of the most powerful and unusual dramatic triangles , to reach the screen in some firpe comes to the Civic Theatre on Saturday and Monday in "The Secret Heart," with Claudette Colbeft, Walter Pidgeon and June Allyson. The memory of a girl's father is the strange "rival" in the e'ngrossing narrative. June Allysoh, playing Claudette Colbert's stepdaughter, is estranged from her family because she has' been spai'ed.. the truth of the -fact that her father killed himself because of dishonour. Instead. she believes his 'death to have been caused by her stepmother, a distortion which ' discolours her life to the. point where she eventually attempts siucide. It is Walter Pidgeon, the- man whom Claudette has turned down in order to ,devote her life to the upbringing- of her stepchildren, who precipitates the final climax in June's emotional mix-up and who is able finally to clear up the girl's distorte'd viewpoint.
