THE BETTER VT "Among the Living” Is One; R of Those Thrilling Horror Films Long tagged in Hollywood as someone to be hated, Albert Dekker gets his chance at a sympathetic role in Paramount’s “Among the Living,” at the 20th Century to- night. To make the transition really curious, Paramount, in ripping off Dekker’s devil horns, made “Among the Living” one of the chilliest horror films on record Dekker's opportunity to be liked is tempered, however, by the fact that he plays a dual role, that of a rich industrialist named John Raden, and .that of Paul Raden, John's hopelessly insane twin broth- er. Paul is a homicidal maniac who commits two murders and attempts a third, According to all advance reports, Dekker does a grand job with by all odds the most difficult ment passed out to an actor by Paramount in a long, long time He is supporied by Susan Hay- ward, Harry Carey, Frances Farmer, Jean Phillips, Gordon Jones, Maude Eburne, Ernest Whit- man, Frank N.
