He lonthes tho headmaster and his "dark and secret ]ag;'' of a wife. Miss Elizabeth Trunt, too, has spent vitul years of her life caring for her father. On his death she rebels against the thought of becoming companion to an old lady, buys a car and proceeds to drive off into the blue," not caring whither she goes. And fate brings these three vagabonds to the little town of Rawsley, "twenty miles from Litchfield," and entangles their lives with pierrot party, "The Dinky Does."

B. Priestley's entertaining char- acters come to life in a brilliant hu version of the novel. It matters not! if you have read-the-novel-or-seen- the play, you will still revel in the adventures of these vagabonds of the read as seen in the film,
