Gone With the Wind Scores
Big Success Opening Night

stirring up old hatreds and emo
tiOnS.
Selection of Vivien Leigh as Scar
lett is amply justified, for she not
only looks the part to perfection,
but plays it with all the fire and
dramatic intensity of Mrs. Mitch
ellis heroine, managing also to por-
tray Scarlett's appealing qualities
as we'll as her meaness and selfish
ness so that her fascination is we'll
understood.
Clark Gable doesn't play Rhett
Butler, but he is Rhett Butler and
does some of the best acting in his
career, while Olivia de Haviland is
perfect in the role of Melanie with
Leslie Howard doing equally fine
work as Ashley. The whole cast is
excellent, in fact, and no one will
make a mistake in seeing Gone
With the Wind. The mistake will
be to stay away.
