The_flying - WAKELINS LEAVE and Mrs. R.© W. Wakelin the . Alaska ‘or Mr. Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. HOLLYWQOD, Cal., Sept. 18 —It’s a little early to predict & deformity cycle, but that man over there, in the black doublet- and-hose, is none other than “old Crook-back,” otherwise Richard IIT of England, otherwise (as he's known about town) one Basil Rathbone. While Charles Laughton agonizes through his burdensome role as “Hunchback of Notre Dame,” Rathbone is scarcely bothered by his new character's “crook”—achieved by a noticeable but not too prominent bit of padding around the left shoulder. His character in “Tower of London” requires him to wear a red wig— with bangs. Rathbone has been spending a good part of this summer in and about the Tower of London on movie sets. His role in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” kept him on 20th’s reproduction of the Tower in its more modern aspect; his part in “Tower of London” places him in the Tower in the d: it served a grimmer purpose. The Universal duplication of the old London landmark is, naturally, more cheerful than the 20th effort, which went in for “age” and “gloom” effects, complete with fog. Universal's deco- rator, Jack Otterson, swept back the centuries and revealed the prison apartment of King Henry VI (Miles Mander) as a cold stone jail, warmed somewhat by pale tints of green and red on the flags, equipped with an old but comfortable-looking bed for his majesty’s rest while Richard went about his task of clearing his own road to the throne.

A Useful Gift for Every Purchaser THIRD at FRANKLIN oo PHONE '34 e e e ] may recall—and wily villain Richard-Rathbone disposes of each in turn before meeting his own violent end.) Queen Elizabeth of the piece (not the same Queen Bess por- trayed by Bette Davis) is played by Barbara O'Neil, who all of & sudden—since she did that mental case wife in “When Tomorrow Comes”—has become the Bette Davis of the “U” lot. This Queen Bess, which theyre spelling Elysabeth to avoid confusion with Bette’s Queen Bess, is the wife of King Edward IV (Ian Hunter) and the mother of the two princes whose murder is one of the screenplay’s highlights. Some days Rathbone plays the husband of Sigrid Gurie in the modern tale of “Rio,” and other days he works in the Tower. While, as Richard, he pursues his dirty work, Miss Gurie, on the “Rio” stage nearby, seems to have stepped at last into her rightful position as a glamor queen. “Rio,” tailored to Danielle Darrieux’s measure and given to Gurie when the French girl couldn’t mdke the trip to Hollywood, is letting Gurie show the old exotic appeal. She's a cabaret entertainer, singing throaty love songs a la Dietrich albeit through courtesy of a voice double, and she'’s wearing attention-arresting gowns. Just now, back to “Tower of London,” comes further evidence that the “deformity cycle” may yet materialize. There's friend Boris Karloff, in his make-up as chief executioneer—a role impor- tant in the study as in any goings-in in Ye Merrie Englande of old. Karloff is no monster here, but a second cousin to one— his ears taped back, his face no flower of beauty, one of his legs “clubbed.” e e B e o S PR Ssbco o
