Hollywood can't resist throwing in a little war drama these days, even when Deanna Durbin's the better half of the oil and water combination. Universal's number one box office attraction plays the part of a China missionary's daughter who brings a band of orphans, (the boys are cute and the girls are mournful), to America. The recent best-seller "Keys of the Kingdom" won our hearts on behalf of Chinese missionaries, and there is absolutely no reason for disliking their daughters. But the story doesn't begin to perk up until Barry Fitzgerald arrives on the scene, and Deanna's white lies (for the benefit of the orphans of course) are forgiven and forgotten. Her voice is as good as always and in other ways she's better than ever.
