< It may seem impertinence to preface a five-million-dollar epic with a personal revelation. But this review of “Gone With the Wind” cannot proceed until a confession has been made.
I'm the guy who didn't read the book.
" When Miss Mitchell's epic was sweeping the country, I had just gone through ‘a nard summer with “Anthony Adverse” and was tapering off on the City Directory. So, to at least one patron in last night's audience, “Gone With the Wind” unfolded as something entirely rew, and not as the reaiization of pre-|® viously visualized scenes and characters. Perhaps I was fortunate at that. For the play’s the thing, even in the movie house. And‘ now that “Gone With the Wind” has-achieved its present form, the sensible thing is to consider its effect as projected on the screen. Well, enough of preface. David O, Selznick, the picture’s producer, was confronted with a colossal task, and he has fulfilled it in a fittingly colossal manner. Opulent technicolor, sweeping vistas, elaborate detail, unending camera magic all combine to give the drana a Jiving, absorbing and three-dimean-sional background. The casting, at least to this open mind, is flawless. Vivien Leigh brings beauty and vitality and skill to the arduous, many-sided character of Scarlett O'Hara. It is something indeed to sustain over a period of months an honest mixture of pettiness and unflagging courage, shrewdness and animal instinct, selfishness, fickleness, jealousy and abiding devotion. In the face of the ordinary movie heroine it is cause for rejoicing to find such a person as this Q’Hara girl, and to find her directed and played with such unvarnished sincerity. Clark Gable is a capital Rhett Butler. By happy accident Mr. Gable seems to remain himself and still convey a perfect picture of this hot-headed, ruthless, maddening and attractive over of Scarlett’s. It is quite impossible to go down the list of three-score players, all of whom do a surpassingly fine job. Yet Hattie McDaniel as Scarlett’s Mammy gives a performance of unfailing delight. And Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland, as Ashley and Melanie Wilkes, must have a special and unstinting word of appreciation. The late Sidney Howard’s screen play, and its realization on| the
. screens very nearly achieve the im-|
possible task of keeping in even balance the two main plots, one of the passage of the Scuthern States from feudalism through civil war to chaos and recovery, and, the other of the tempestuous lives of the dramatic personae. This balance is particularly | admirable in the first half of the picture. Here the characters move in harmony withthe great conflict and

These sequences are played with great assurance and telling effect. It 'scarcely can be denied that the picture is of wearying length, qr that it will benefit greatly by an eventual cutting. For, after the intensity of the first two-thirds of these nearly four hours, the final part seems attenuated. However, there is also no denying the fact that “Gone With the Wind”

BEULAH BONDI
The 69th was renamed 165th Infantry Regiment in the 42d (Rainbow) Division. It was in close cooperation during the World War with Indiana's own 150th Field Artilley, which supported it in most of its activities. Private Plunkett is one of those tough Brooklyn boys, handy with the dukes and spoiling for a shot at the Boches. He gets off badly at Camp Mills, where the old 69th is being formed into a part of the Rainbow Division. When he finally gets to the front, he meets fear for the first time. He can’t see the enemy. His fighting must be controlled in order to be useful to the army. When he can't hit back according to his custom he blows up. He leaves his post under fire. His foolhardiness, caused more by cowardice than anything else, is responsible for the death of a number of soldiers. Back in camp, after the regiment has been relieved, he’s the same

Circle
“The Earl of Chicago,” at the Circle this week, puts one in mind somewhat of “So This Is London,” the stage and screen hit of a decade ago. You may recall that a Midwestern boy married an English girl in “So This Is London.” And that the parents of each had a dream in which the other parents were unbelievably gauche on the one hand, and unbelievably stuffy on the other.
However, the Britons never lose their propriety in “The Earl of Chicago.” And, until the final reel, the Chicago gungster who inherits a title and an estate worth $10,000,000 remains a gangster who makes Ed‘ward G. Robinson look like Lord Chesterfield in comparison.
Robert Montgomery plays ‘ the titled gangster with great earnestness. As tough Silky Kilmount he amasses a fortune in liquor, first bootleg and then legal. He learns that his father was the Earl of Gorley who ran away to Canada and married a dance hall girl.
Silky's lawyer - persuades him to go to England, leading him to be- | lieve that the entailed estate can be sold. Only after he has made a sorry picture of himself in his castle and the House of Lords does Silky realize that his lawyer has tricked him, and that he’s stuck in England for good. For the lawyer thinks that Silky once framed him and sent him to prison -and disbarment, so he’s out to get even. So Silky shoots him, then is tried and sentenced to be hanged. During his last hours, Silky’s Gorley blood comes to the fore, with the help of Munsey, the butler. So he dons his court dress and walks to his death like an English gentleman. “The Earl of Chicago” might have been a much better picture than it is. The story idea is quite fresh and there are some excellent per-

There are some impressive scenes of British. parliamentary procedure, and the acting of the lesser characters are first rate, without exception.

She does it under a dark blue light revealing enough to prove she is an artist. Miss Bacon is not honky-tonk. She is a dancer. Marie Wilson plays straight to the gags of a Miss Maude Hilton. Marie has built her reputation and a considerable income on the premise that she is a ‘dumbbell. She seemed to be able to handle her part all right. Toby Wing does a number of singing numbers with accompanying undulations. Her voice is pleasing and her dancing aroused a mildly enthusiastic response from the audience. Some of the gags on the stage, if altempted in a movie, would have a hard time getting past the Hays censorship. This seems a shame, especially with all those nice girls around. The acts closed with a comedy dance routine by Sylvia and Clemence. They just about kill one another but I understand it's all in fun. The movie is “He Married His Wife.” As the title indicates, it’s | about a man with a divorce who spends his time trying to get his| “ex” to marry him again.

Audiences by Bridging Abyss
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 27.—PERHAPS the pleasantest thing that has happened to movies in years is the trick of having an actor directly address the audience. Usually this is in the form of an aside, as when Groucho Marx was trying to recover some stolen money which a girl had stuffed into the bosom of her costume. Said Groucho to the camera: “There must be some way of geiting that wallet. without getting in trouble with the Hays office!” More recently, in “The Cat and the Canary,” the cat grew annoyed with his own unpopularity and protested, “It’s time the audience got hissed for a change.” Ann Sheridan sings two new and six old songs in “It All Came True.” For the more familiar numbers, such as “Put an Your Old. Gray Bonnet” and “When Irish Eyes. Are Smiling.” she figurative-

OBVIOUSLY THERE'S nothing really funny about that line. . But at the previews, in a swiftly-paced and gag-jammed comedy, the sheer novelty of Grant's remark drew one of the loudest laughs. Now that Hollywood had discovered the value of such surprise touches, it may work them to death.
