HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 1L—“ALL THIS, AND HEAVEN TOO.” Screenplay by Casey Robinson from novel by Rachel Field. Directed by Anatole Litvak. Principals: Bette Davis, Charles Boyer, Jeffrey Lynn, Barbara O’Neil, Virginia Weidler, Helen Westley, Walter Hampden, Henry Daniel, Harry Daven- port, George Coulouris, Montague Love, Janet Beecher, June Lockhart, Ann Todd, Richard Nichols, Fritb Leiber, fan Keith. Miss Field's best-seller had go many readers that comment on the story is needless. The film version deals in the main with the heroine’s life in France and merely suggests the latter portion of the book dealing with her interesting but undramatic days in America. This Jife in France — in 1849 during the reign of Louis Phil- ippe — gives Miss Davis as the quiet governess Henrietta Deluzy Desportes opportunity for a dramatic performance totally lacking m the “tricks” so objectionable to those outside the Davis cult or worshippers. Miss Davis izes the opportunity to deliver her best and in every way most impressive work. Although the settings beautifully recreate the feel of the period, “All This, and Heaven Too” always is a story of human conflict. From the moment the governess obtains her position in the household of the Duc de Praslin (Boyer) she is entangled in the ultimate tragedy incipient there. The jealous, neurotic wife (O'Neil), the lonely husband, the bright children to whom Hen- rietta brings understanding and kindness, form a powerful milieu for drama. Out of the situation, the denouement—one of France’s most sensational murders—works logically, inevitably, climax pil- ing upon climax for a tense and deeply moving film. Script, direction and performanee go hand in hand in tasteful and delicate projection of plot and character. Delicacy is es- PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT sTOP at PERCY’S ANY TIME for Dinners . or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOQ! pecially notable in the treatment of the deep, always platoni love that grows between Henrietta and the Duc. . Boyer makes the Duc a convincing character, but second only to Miss Davis is Barbara O'Neil; playing another unbalanced wife to Boyer (her first was in*“When Tomorrow Comes”). The children are a remarkable quartette, with Richard Nichols as Raynn.ld the most delightful moppet in years. “THE MORTAL STORM.” Margaret: Sullavan, James Stewart, Robert Young, Frank Motgan, Robert Stack, Bonita Granviile, Irene Rich, William T. Orr, Maria Quspenskaya. Here is a beautifully done, unembittered picture of what Hit- lerism can do to human relations. The familyin: question has a “non-Aryan” father wed to an “Aryan” mother with two. children by a previous marriage, two (Sullavan and Gene Reynolds) by the second. They live in Germany. Under the impact of Nazi ideology, the family is wrecked—heartbreaking, poignantly, inevitably. Heavy fare for these days, but heartily recommended for its sheer power, for its splendid performances notably by Young, Morgan, Sullavan. Frank Borzage directed. “THE NEW MOON.” Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy. Directed by Robert Z, Leonard, Just what the doctor ordered for relaxation and escape. The tuneful old opertta keeps'all its tunes (“Lover, Come Back to Me,” “One Kiss,” “Marianne,” etc.) and much of its old, state-y story about the French aristocrat posing as a bondsman in the service of the lovely heroine down New Orleans way. Slow at times but on the whole beguiling. g " Knowing his, friend tq be innocent, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1940. ; On Christian | Science Here A free lt‘r‘l\lh' on (‘Iul\(hm Sei- This is uu- first of a series ence by Florence Middaugh, C.8 of three ctories about the of Los Angeles, Cal, Member ol' unique new star of American the Board of Lectureship of The, politics—Wendell L.
