Stabler, | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU, ALASKA CAPITOL WILL | SHOW ‘REPEAT PERFORMANCE “Repeat Performance,” starrring Louis Hayward and Joan Leslie and introducing Richard Basehart, is Eagle-Lion’s romantic drama of a woman who wins the chance to re- live the most exciting year of her |life. The ‘unusual and emotional story of a woman who defies her desting begins a two-day engage- ment tcnight at the Capitol Theatre. ! The plot of the new tilm involves I3 New York stage actress who is forced to kill he: husband on New Year's Eve. Dismayed by the prob- lems of the whole preceding year and by how badly she managed her| affairs, the actress asks for a chance to re-live the last year—and gets the opportunity! The strange turn: that destiny takes to fulfill its pat- tern makes “Repeat Performance” one of the most unusual pictures ithat film-goers will see in 1948. | Surprise Leslie Role Surprise casting assignment of ithe year goes to Joan Leslie, here- tofore identified with “sunshinej and sweetness” ingenue roles. Miss Leslie is cast as Sheila Page, glam- orous Broadway stage star married to a drunkard-—and driven to mur-! jder. Her performance in Eagle-Lion’s ‘new film leaves no doubt as to the| iyoung actress’ new-found physical kand emotional maturity. tis the way to describe Barney Page, Louis Hayward's co-starring role. Another surprise for film fans iin Hayward’s change of pace in characterization. Hayward, up to now, has always played the typi- cal leading man without a sugges- [tion of a blemish on his character. |His performance in the unusual and demanding role ranks with the iscreen’s top characterizations. | Third “Repeat Performance” sur- i old Broadway actor, who makes his fdebut in the pivotal role of William | williams, a Greenwich Village poet. !Basehart, who won critical acclaim ifor his performance in the Broad- way stage play,” The Hasty Heart,” jmakes one of the most 'auspicious “film debuts the screen has ever !seen. The blue-eyed, light brown- thaired actor, under long-term con- itract to Eagle-Lion Films, will estab- lish himself solidly with American ture. Outstanding Supporting Cast An outstanding supporting cast in key roles maintains the top per- !rormances offered by the starring jtrio. Virginia Field is cast as the {English playwright who breaks up i i ithe marriage between Miss Leslie! i land Hayward. Tom Conway, who gave up the “Falcon” series to take |a light comedy role in the studio’s {“Lost Honeymoon,” is cast &s family friend, loyal—despite many obsta- cles—to both husband and wife. | Benay Venuta, Broadway musical icomedy star, makes her debut in a leghc comedy role that guarantees her a Hollywood career for as long as she wants it. Fourth name in |the supporting cast is Natalie Scha- \fer, veteran actress of New York jand Hollywood. “Repeat Performance” was di- rected by Alfred Werker and pro- duced by Aubrey Schenck.
