On Willi The 31)C iHiami Hcralii MGM Shills Paris For Girl Brides Pago Two Saturday Sept 20 1941 Wooley Is Dark Horse For New Yankee Film A £4 By By JIMMIE FIDLER FgeeUI Tbe Hrrl4 JOLLYWOOD Calif Sort Author Pulham A 1 Marquand and Ms are on Stork's roll cad for spring arrnt Teter Iorre scribing a screen rrigtral based on one of the nastiest murder case? in Chicago involving two society- boyV still in prison for the crime? Monte Who Came To AW I aF A it a mm i Citizen Kane' At the Beach and Paramount CAN THINK of a few superlatives to add to the songs of praise that are being almost universally sung for Orson which opened at the Beach and Paramount theaters here Friday And I believe I shall To begin with it is the most unusual picture ever seen And it -is a spectacular screen attrac-ton in which sound lighting and ether effects reach a new high in creating atmosphere and emotional support for the story it relates Also It embraces exceptional acting with Welles himself dividing honors with Dorothy Commingoi Joe Cotton a former Miami lad Ruth War-rx and Ihetrtt Sloane Summing up even thing I would sav it is a great picture but far from the mo-t entertaining seteen play of tlits or anv oilier ear It ft one of thme thing? iike the Pyramids which are impressive and definitely intetesling to have seen hut ope an have inoie fun than looking at the Pyramids IN FACT for me this picture has some of the elements of a flop For though the story Is 11 fiction I could not rid mvseif of the notion that Welles was attempting to build a screen masterpiece out of the life story of William Randolph llearst And in the process of shifting facts end covering up his tracks he eomes out with a screen figure which doesn't measure up to the dramatic and interesting aspects of the llearst I know The storv is that of a voting man kicked out of college as was Jlfdru and who later builds a gigantic newspaper and industrial empire as did lleart And like the jeal Heart the of tris picture stir the I'nlted States to war against Spain and later retires to an estate similar to Mr Hearst' San Simeon which' Is packed to the rafters with half the ataturs and art work of the world And there are scores of other incidents in this prcture which run parallel with the life of Hearst IN the leading role Welles gives you a picture of a man who is not hateful but too possessed with himself to have much thought or heart for anything or anyone else But a certain familiar weakness finds its wav into his life in the form of a blondP whom he finally marries after divorcing his first wife And growing older we see him approaching or arriving at that place in life hei old mpn are apt to play ihe fool Which he does to the extent of building ber an opera house and forcing her lack of talent on thp world through the influences of his newspapers And I suspect that Welles took any special care lest this phase of the Open Al Lincoln and Miami Today Gann Tiornoy and Randolph Gcott in a scfn from

if Welles tells the truth when he dentes the Hearat connection For it is there for the audience to see and form its own conclusions Which I have no doubt was the purpose of the Wonder Eoy Welles who plays the title role in this picture which he also wrote directed and pro-dured But forgetting the Hearst Angle look at the rest of the picture In telling his story Welles fairly deluges the picture with his new technique which includes starting in the middle and at both ends and moving in all directions until the narrative is completed and the central figure has bepn viewed from all angles outwardly and inwardly A'l of thce innovations arc intriguing and most of them BOB FREDERICKS picture might suggest some familiar gossip in the life of Mr llearst The part of his second wife is played by Miss Commingore whom I would say is the only performer in this picture to distinguish herself above or in a class with the greatest actors of the stage or screen The others are all good but Miss Commingore Is the only sensation in this screen play However let me not give the impression that I didn't enjoy I did and have missed it for anything I just refuse to deviate from my notion that the greatest picture is the most entertaining picture irrespective of whether it is comedv or tragedy or of its higher dramatic attributes And on that basis I repeat it is a swell picture but not the best
