“MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK, HOLLYWOOD, Calif, March 7 (N.AN.A.)—If Paramount wanted ade- quate revenge on Ruth Chatterton for going over to Warner Brothers, they have it in “Unfaithful,” the John Van Druten entertainment in which she makes her most recent appearance. | gJohn Van Druten turns “The Green #at” inside out and doesn't do very much with the lining. It's another, tale of a girl who does wrong by herself to « safeguard the mythical nobility of her husband. The husband is a mean ol thing who takes the Isotta Fraschini and leaves his wife nothing but the Mercedes to drive out in. Just a nasty man. He says “Hel-lo!” when he loses his cigarette case. When his wife finds it he says “Hel-lo!” again.’ He falls back on this expression once mote | fi when he loses his wife. And, at a! conservative estimate, this brilliant ex- pletive dots the dialogue from time to time at five-minute intervals. From the very first shot when we Jearn that “old Ronny has married at last.” we know it's goimg to be devil- ishly British to the very end and we are not disappointed. Despite the fact | that we are told this offering is “Ruth Chatterton in ‘Unfaithful’ with Paul Lukas,” we find it is the husband who is unfaithful with Juliette Compton. And, becausesJuliette Compton is mar- ried to the heroine’s brother, there is nothing to do about it but go to the | devil a la Van Druten for the other | | d | into British drawing-rooms, | with true Van Druten fling, the wife | cellence of Paul Lukas and the very fine | acting of Paul Cavanaugh were the London with Impecunious Austrian art- ists, and such dialogue as “What's it like to be poor?

At this stage we began to see the seams in the lin- ing of the “Green 5 Ruth Chatterton’s sincerity and abil- ity in the emotional scehes, the ex- mitigating factors.

Despite the fact that this story | forces Ruth Chatterton to begin her | career of disillusioned profiigacy by ordering one cocktail and downing it | wide-eyed while the most sophisticated | ‘set in London look on in utter horror, | she manages to infuse something very fine into the truly emotional scenes. | When a lady learns that her hus. | band is unfaithful with her sister-in- | law and that knowledge of this fact Will probably kill her favorite brother, | she takes to gin, antibes, bus-rides in LETTE By Charles COURSED | MOANED . | I I TECOMAS | Remove one letter from each word for in the last column. you have removed it from. what BLONDE IGNORED [P | H |O TEHERAN * |N E POINT SCHEDULES ORANGE TIERS (Copyright, 1981.)

Ruth Chatterton has an emotional sincerity which should not be handi- capped by such dither as this tale. At the third “Hel-lo” the cynical blonde who accompanied me insisted that a telephone girl wrote the script—if she did she certainly got the wrong num- ber for Ruth Chatterton.
