Sal" Heretofore. according to the'
director, Rita had been merely
learning her lines and uttering them
on cue, without registering any re-
action to what the other actors
were saying.
TN the movies. as in everyday life,
it is extremely important to show
interest in what the other fellow Is
saying" said Cummings. This can
be done by looking the speaker
straight in the eye, smiling and
nodding the head occasionally, or
by giving out with an occasional
'um hum"
Rita followed these tips in MY

and gave her poise and a personal
charm she never displayed on the
screen before.

Cummings is one. Yet, who ever

correspondent at odds with his pa

then commences debating his own

Water Gate Opera

The scheduled performance OF

night, to have marked the 8,500th
presentation by the famed San
Carlo Opera Co. and the beginning
of it's engagement in this city, was
Unexpectedly cut short by sudden
downpour which turned thousands
of disappointed listeners homeward.
The opera had well progressed
into the middle of the first act, with
it's glamorous heroine, impersonated
by Coe Glade, holding the center
of attention, when the music came
abruptly to a halt, the musicians,
under cover of umbrellas, making
a hurried exit from the barge below
the acoustical shell.
Ticket holders were told to keep
their stubs until Friday of next
week when the opera will be given
at the end of the operate series at
the Water Gate. Tonight Verdi's
spectacular Aida" will be presented
with Mobley Lushanya, the famous
American-Indian prima donna, in
the title role. Nine. Lushanya,
garbed in an elaborate Indian cos
tune, appeared on the stage before

to lead the audience in the singing

Colman and he would have been
altar bound with one more heroine
In one more picture.
It is a fine piece of suspenseful
writing and acting, viewed strictly
from the standpoint OF Mr.. COL
mans self-imposed rejection of ro-
nance in his screen life henceforth.
It will be viewed more broadly
when it opens at the Earle on the
21st.
Among the hold-over pictures,
which made it possible for review
ers to look in on Mr.. Colman, there
are a couple of feminine perform
ances which probably will come IN
for serious consideration when act
ing prizes are awarded for 1912.
Outstanding Of the two is that
of Joan Fontaine in This Above
ALL" now in its third week at the
Palace. Miss Fontaine is perfectly
cast as the heroine of Eric Knights
story Of wartime England, sensitive,
the aristocrat who could adapt
assailable integrity to the destruc-
ton of her way of life that a better
one might be created out OF the
chaos. It is an intelligent, sensi-
tive, deeply moving performance
giving further proof to the widely
held conviction that Miss Fontaine
Is the finest young actress in Holly
wood.
With her performance in THE
Constant Nymph" still to come, the
cumulative force of Miss Fontaine's
work-which she has now finished
to take time out for motherhood
could very easily win her second
Academy Award in two years.
That would put her even with
Luise Rainer, who won two prizes
tn two years.
The other performance of prize
dimensions is that of Teresa Wright
In Pride of the Yankees" on its
way to fortnight at Keith's.
Miss Wright's portrait of Eleanor
Twitchell, who became Mrs. Lou
Gehrig, is unlikely to be competi-
tive with that of Miss Fontaine.
It probably will be rated as a sup
porting performance, Hollywood
having its own definitions for such
things. Supporting or star per-
formance, however, Miss Wright ac-
complishes it with an excellence
which nearly steals the picture from
Gary Cooper. That is consider
Evening star., 1942-08-08

able accomplishment on the part
of the Sam Goldwyn sophomore,
sure to attract attention for its own
merit, surer to do so because there
is Hollywood conviction that
Cooper is very hard man from
whom to steal scene, must less a
picture.
Pride of the Yankees" solid
bit of Americana as well as the
first baseball picture ever to break
the hoodoo which has hung over
its type, already has placed itself
in the running among the best BIZ
ographies in screen history.
That will be quite helpful to Miss
Wright when her cinema associates
start voting their prize winners.
X X
No prize candidate but indicative
of the fact that Geraldine Fitzger-
aid is much more versatile actress
than her bosses used to think Is
her work in 'The Gay Sisters" held
over at the Earle.
Her work in Dark Victory" and
"Wuthering Heights" demonstrated
that Miss Fitzgerald was another
Irish import to be reckoned with
in Hollywood. But it also created
a feeling on the part of her en-
ployers, Warmers, that she always
would be just the girl for roles
involving sacrificial nobility and
gentility.
Until they saw her as the wanton-
ly wicked Gay sister-even in
monocle that occasionally makes her
look like Charlie McCarthy-they
did not realize she had flair for
menace roles. They, along with
audiences, have learned differently,
and Miss Fitzgerald has higher
hopes for her career as a result.
Rightly, too.
