thrown away the conventions. He
has made his story of an eccentric S
life look like life; thing of pain
and pathos, of majestic futility, of
darkness interspersed by but brief
shafts of light. There was no
happiness in the contradictory, baff1-
ing, tormented existence of publish
ing tycoon Charles Foster Kane.
Welles has been movie producer
director-star able to resist any pre-
tense to the contrary. Such SIM
pie honesty in movie-making is
sensa tional.
In telling the life story of a pitt
ably great man, Welles utilizes every
element of his different method, not
to be exhibitionistic, but TO give his
narrative force That it does so is
his effective answer to those who
devoutly. and perhaps not illogically,
hoped he might fall on his face.
Citizen Kane, who might be any
spectacular eccentric including even
Welles himself, is a faScinatingly
maladjusted human presented with
vastly more understanding, and
more UNDERSTANDABLE, than the
movies usually achieve with far less
complex beings.
AS WelleS reveals him, he is a man
of great and diverse gifts, rich be-
yond the dreams of most men. but
intolerably. wretchedly, even mad
deningly poor in his powerlesSness
to make himself loveable, or loved.
The quest of love-those grada-
lions of human affection which are
the natural lot of normal mems
the dramatic motivation of all the
little and splendid moments OF
Citizen Kane's life. He seeks 1t
first among the few close associates
of his stormy school days, next
amcng his collaborators in pub
fishing the New York Inquirer and
among the underprivileged whose
battles the paper fights with such
unstrupulous, wayward and i'm
pressive success. Both efforts are
futile. So is the final, inevitable
one of seeking it in the heart of
lovely, minutely gifted blond
whom Kane - indefatigable, un-
scrupulous and still ignorant of how
to be little and lovable-seeks to
make a great opera star.
Dramatic novelty is injected into
this gripping, rightly accented ac-
count of mans anguished frustra-
ton. 1t opens, quietly, with his
death. A properly fascinated pic
torial journalism staff has made a
picture of the high lights of the
mans career. IT'S director is dis
satisfied because nowhere in 1t is
the key to the man and his life.
That is where Welles' picture takes
over. The one clue on which it
works is the great mans dying word
rosebud" The quest for the mean
ing of that word, the reason for
It's utterance as the summation of
dramatic existence. sets the
course of the episode story of
Citizen Kane 1t also gives it a
quality of suspense that is incon-
ceivably fine and eminently worthy
of Welles.
Nothing is left out of the revela-
ton OF Kane's essential nature. He
Is everything associated with genius
--ruthles, selfish, egomaniacal, I'M
scrupulous, generous idealistic and
shamelessly contradictory. He is
the hero and the scoundrel, the
purvevor of the ugly and sordid
and the lover of the beautiful,
tragic human who lost his way and
never found it again for all the
mad energy of his search.
