"THE LODGER" Goth Century Fox
picture production starring Merle Oberon,

duced by Robert Bassler, directed by John
Brahm. screenplay by Barre Lyndon. At
the Capitol
Evening star., 1944-02-03

Ripper. Outstanding among them
is Merle Oberon whose long, lovely
neck Is the most fascinating Jack
has ever laid eyes, or hands, upon.
Others include George Sanders,
Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Sara ALL
good.
Barre Lyndon's version of The
Ripper's story presents him as a
huge, a wild-eyed fellow whose
grudge against women is based upon
the fact that his beautiful genius
brother was utterly destroyed by
them. His point, we are afraid, is
weakened by the circumstance that
save for Miss Oberon, who is merely
a prospect, the women he kills In
revenge are the type to whom death
comes as kind of mercy. For the
most part they are crone-like
creatures trying to forget their pasts
in a few scuttles of ale and singing
a few sad hymns to concertina ac-
compartment in the nearest run
down pub.
AS he destroys them one by one,
Jennie, Anne, Wiggy, ETC., you do
not feel that he is exactly a mercy
killer but that his revenge Is a lot
less complete than he fatuously
assumes.
The real excitement, Of course,
grows out Of the intimation that all
these sordid stabbings are merely
preludes to the climactic one which
is to be Miss Oberon. It Is quite
suspenseful to have him living as a
lodger in the home Of her aunt and
uncle, just one floor above her own
room. The suspense is heightened
by the fact that she feels a sort Of
sympathy for the man, sympathy
which amounts to fascination. 1t
is just the combination of attitudes
that is likely to lead girl into trou-
BILE with a man like that, but the
point is rather better developed in
the acting of Cregar than of Miss
Oberon. In her acting, there al
ways seems to be the sense that she
has read ahead in the script and
knows how things are coming out.

Cregar, an eminently sinister fel-
low, misses no tricks in making his
Ripper coldly menacing and amaz-
ingly cunning. He is handicapped,
however, by the fact that both the
theater and the cinema in recent
seasons have been going in for mur-
der as comedy theme. Many times
in the ghoulish nights of "The
Lodger" the slightest hint of exag-
geration in the situation gets a
laugh instead of the intended shud-
der. 1t defeats the intention Of the
makers of the film, and undoubted-
ly makes the Ripper turn In his
grave, but it pleases audiences who,

after all, are the ones to be pleased.
There are some incidentally good
performances in "The Lodger," OF
which the most impressive are those
of Sarah Allgood as the suspicious
aunt of Miss Oberon, Sir Cedric as
her uncle who Is fascinated by the
Ripper's deeds and devotes his full
time to analyzing them, and OF
George Sanders as the urbane
Scotland Yard inspector who works
on the case with more imperturba-
b1lity than even an Englishman has
a right to show.
"The Lodger" has been elaborate
ly mounted and is a finely realized
piece Of sinister photography, but
neither quality makes it seem the
deadly serious thing the producers
had In mind.

newspapers and the dismayed frenzy
of Scotland Yard to do something
about him.
His story comes now to this age,
which is much more familiar with
carnage, in "The Lodger" which
opened today at Loew's Capitol
theater. In it, Goth Century Fox
has turned loose suave, sinister
Laird Cregar with a long bladed
knife, pair of wild. protruding
eyes, and an order to be as terrify-
Ing as possible. Huge Mr.. Cregar
does his best and, indeed, Is very
good insofar as it Is possible for
a mere private throat-cutter to be
frightening in these catastrophe
times. We are afraid the times are
30 much more terrifying than Mr..
Cregar that "The Lodger" is a
mere "boo" in an exploding world.
