The only answer to that is, so what.
It is no cause for complaint that
some one does one thing and does
it we'll And no one can deny that
Miss Bergner does it exceedingly we'll.
There's a spell cast by that voice
which she can shade so deftly; by
those mannerisms dear to the hearts
of those many members of an almost
vorshiping cult, who miss not a
move Mis- Bergner makes before the
cameras.
The only complaint at the moment
Is that the actress vehicle is far
from her best, even though she gives
the best of her art to it and occa-
sionally reaches heights in her por-
trayal of another definitely Bergnerian
character Dreaming Lips" is not
q particularly good motion picture.
Without Elisabeth Bergner it would
have little to recommend it. But
It does have Bergner and that is
enough to recommend it to plenty
Of people.
The best that can be said of
"Dreaming Lips is that 1t offers
Bergner every opportunity in the
world to be the complex woman she
tan be so beautifully and with such
magnetism. Cast as woman torn
between her devotion for her hus-
band and her yearning love for his
best friend, she is given free reign
10 take audiences in the palm of her
hand and hold them spellbound. It's
q role which allows Bergner to be
the canine, petulant child and
at once great lady; to be both
irothy and frolicsome and filled with
sorrow.
1t is tragic part Miss Bergner
plays in Dreaming Lips" but then
she Is at home with tragedy. You
will remember long time those mo-
ments in this film where Bergner
gives herself up to emotions deeply
poignant-the time she dreams of
poisoning her Ill husband and the
night she sits in cafe to pen fare
we'll note before ending her earthly
troubles in the Thames. Here the
nCIl cSS IedCllcS Vic SdillS IelSHlS Sic
attained in that memorable walk down
the hospital corridor in Escape Me
Never" something that won't soon
be forgotten by any one who saw
It.
Dreaming Lips" may be for no
one but the Bergner devotees, but it
certainly is something not to be missed
by any of them.
