For anyone who is accustomed to sighing deeply when anything connected with France is mentioned, today's program at the Institute of Geographical Exploratin will seem admirable. Featuring Danielle Darrieux (elle garde toujours ses lignes), Abus de Confiance is a pleasant little tale about an orphan girl in Paris who is forced to quit the university because her grandmother dies without leaving any money. Danielle, as Lydia, tries every means to earn herself a living; that is, except the unmentionable--and she refuses to try that. She has a pretty hard time because of all the men who appreciate her for the wrong reasons, but manages to stand them off, starving all the while. In desperation she poses as the daughter of an old flame of Jacques Ferney, eminent historian, who was young once, too. She gets away with it for a while, and the ensuing mess, complicated as it is by Ferney's genuine wife and an anxious young man named Pierre, proves to be excellent entertainment. There is a recurrent note having to do with how all men are brutes but, it isn't too hard to overlook, though Danielle is.

The film is preceded by a short on the subject of the French Pyrences region which alone is worth the trudge over to the Divinity Avenue cinema hall. There are to be performances all day today; admission is by Bursar's card. Mrs. Edward K. Rand, through whose efforts the French films are made available without obligation to Harvard and Radcliffe, deserves the appreciative plaudits of everyone who has had the opportunity of enjoying them.
