WHERE THE BETTER BIG PICTURES PLAY! IN THRILLER, Melodrama is probably the most overworked word in the entire the- atrical lexicon. To many in the film industry the word itself is ana- thema as it it usually asociated | with the old fashioned thrillers complete with be-mustached vil- | lain and lily-white heroine | But Milton Sperling, 20th Cen- | tury-Fox’s young but experienced producer, belives that Hollywood has been wrong in the intentional omission of melodrama from the screen. It is his conception that rynamic, nerve-tensing melodrama |, has a definite place in films | He backed his judgment with his | newest film, Wake Up Scream- ing” the current attraction at the 20th Century Theatre which stars Betty Grable, Victor Mature and Carole Landis. “If melodrama at once shocks BET and fascinates an audience, it can wc.rry 8""'-! % be the greatest entertainment in oR"‘TU‘E the world,” Sperling declared.
