Rain Clear Clear Clear radedabol aee A sincere and often dramatically exciting presentation of the man who invented the telephone some 60 years ago, this film apparently has the historical authenticity its makers claim for it. It also has Don Ameche’s performance in his first dramatic, non- singing role—and it is his best performance. For Miss Young, too, the role here of the girl who was to become Mrs. Bell marks a new high in sincerity of projection, and the picture is keyed in production, direction and writing to a fine high standard. Dramatic but rarely theatrical, the story takes up young Beu as, struggling in poverty, he tries in spare time to teach little George (Bobs Watson) to overcome his deaf-mute handicap. The most moving scene in the film springs from his final success in this undertaking. the boy Bobs and his screen father (Lockhart) com- bining their acting talents to wring the moment’s last emotional possibility. Bell's struggles and discouragement over the telephone, his final discovery of the principle, the faith of the deaf girl he loves, his ultimate victory and later court fight to prptect his rights in the invention—all are interestingly presented. Fonda as his ever- hungry assistant Watson shares top honors with the stars, and telling charterizations are contributed by Coburn and Lockhart especially. Cummings’ direction is unpbstrusive, artfil, evenly paced in keeping with the general dignity of his subject matter. “The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle.” Screenplay by Richard Sherman.

Directed by Michael Curtiz. Cast: Errol Fiynn, Ollvia de Havilland, Aup Sheri- dan, Bruce Cabot, Frank McHugh, Alan Hale, John Litel, Henry Travers, Henry C O'Neill, Victor Williams, Bobs Watson, Glorh Holden, Doug Fowley. This elaborate western tells, in beautiful color, how one man (Flynn) tamed the old west’s wildest town, deposed the terror rule of the bad boss (Cabot) and associates, and won the v_lllpae belle (de Havilland). It's full of rootin’-tootin’-shooting, vlqlence, and the “local color” of a bygone era. High point of the picture is a wild saloon brawl lasting nearly five minutes on the screen, wpplng anything of its kind yet seen. Hero's courage surmounts every obstacle erected by dirty villains —even captivity with heroine in a burning freight car. Ann Sheri- dan is seen (too briefly) as a dance-hall entertainer. Hale, Mc- Hugh Wwilliams are especially eflectlve.
