Screenplay by Philip Dunne and Jul- ien Josephson from the novel by Louis Bromfield. Directed by Clarence Brown. Cast: Myrha Loy, Tyrone Power, George Brent, Brenda Joyce, Nigel Bruce, Maria Ouspenskaya, Joseph Schild- Lraut, Mary Nash, Jane Darwell, Marjoriec Rambeau, Henry Trav- ers, H. B, Warner, Laura Hope Crews. HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, Oct. 2—Louis Bromfield, who wrote the best-selling novel of this title, has expressed himself as pleased with the screen version. Author Bromfield should be pleased. “The Rains Came” is as intelligent and satisfying a trans- lation from printed page to celluloid as has come from Hollywood in many miles of footage. It is remarkable, incidentally, in its restraint: catastrophes of nature, necessary to the plot, are not permitted to overpower the human element in the story’s un- folding. To the Indian principality of Ranchipur, where an enlight- ened maharajah and his venerable maharani have sefected Major Safti (Power) to rule after them, come Lord and Lady Esketh Loy). His Lordship (Bruce) is a pompous boor, but his wife—ah, there’s a one! She's disillusioned, mercenary, and freely ro- mantic—first with ne’'er-do-well Tom Ransome (Brent), her old flame and a sentimental cynic. But that is before she meets Major Safti, the Johns Hopkins-educated Indian doctor of highest caste. After that meeting, being a woman without morals, Lady Esketh sets her net for him, but makes no catch. The prayed-for rains have come by now, in torrents, and there is & major earthquake, almost too realistic in the new. manner of screened catastrophes. The earthquake kills or injures thousands, cracks a huge dam which floods the valley. The flood OME! rhat f,\,_{,: receptton charming hostessess give thoughtful: guests who bring gifts of delliclous Van Bu{n Candigs. .Little attentions make you @& "must come" guest. Try it i?,”’fwm% brings plague, and the plague necessitates the burning of whole sections of the gity. 4 Calamity and its aftermath of human suffering do their work in the unregenerate hearts of Lady Esketh and Tom Ransome. The latter forswears brandy, assists in the crisis, finally returns the love of Fern Simon (Joyce), unsophisticated missionary’s daughter. In Lady Esketh regeneration follows the same course: menial service at Major Safti’s hospital until she wins his heart. But here the Maharani and her plans are at stake. When Safti wishes to forsake his future, Lady Esketh forbids his sacrifice by refusing to fight against the plague which has claimed her. 24A NOW Percy’s exclusively The picture projects an interesting modern Indian against the traditional background of ancient mysticism. In Brown's direction, understatement and an even, inevitable pace are much in evidence. The performances are convincing. Power's evincing new ease and credibility, and Miss Loy and Brent projecting the spirit of their roles throughout. Miss Joyce, the Los Angeles co-ed here seen in her first role is youthfully fresh and beautiful —and if her naivete is acting, she does it well. All but stealing the show, however—come rains, earthquake, fire, flood and plague and Tyrone Power—is Maria Ouspenskaya's bejewelled, iron- willed, cigarette-smoking Maharani.
