- Not Pleased With Critics

London, January 30.-Sir Alexan-der Kordá has been paying money lor newspaper advertisements to flay critica for their reception of his "Bonnie Prince Charlie."

He says: "The Scottish critics, * who should know, praise it as a

fine attd exciting film. Some of the London critics have written about it not with a pen, but with a

hatchet."

Most critics have called it duli, refusing to see David Niven as tho ideal actor for the part of the Young Pretender. Only person to come out of it with praise is the film's Flora MacDonald-Old' Vic player Margaret Leighton.
