...magician pulls a white rabbit out of a silk hat, so the Fine Arts Theatre seems to pull consistently entertaining pictures out of thin air.

Sennep's real name is Jean-Jacques Charles Pennes. One brother, General Roger Pennes, is a bigwig in the Air Ministry. After serving through the War in the infantry, Jean Pennes went to work for the Royalist Action Francaise, was first assigned...
