Letters" and there are moments.
when the screenplay actually i'm
plies that Judgment was not un-
reasonable. These are to be at
tributed primarily to the stars, but
even their deftness is not enough
to conceal some glaring defects in
the story, which frequently as
sumes look much more baff1ed
than that of the heroine who lives
in a mental blackout.
One of the defects which Miss
Jones is asked to overcome is that
of being an Ophelia-like character
under the unlikely name of Single
ton" The sympathy which I'd her
beauty and tragic condition should
evoke gives way to an impulse to-
ward embarrassed laughter when
the people who love her address
her as if they were speaking to the
butler. 1t may be that the name
Is too close to simpleton, phoneti-
cally, but whatever it is, it is wrong
and we would not blame Miss Jones
if she sued.

1t probably should be granted Ayn
Rand, who adapted Chris Massies
novel for Producer Hal Wallis. that
the material given her was elusive
enough maybe to drive her daft
also.
The story concerns another one
OF those wartime correspondence
out of which less imaginative au-
thors have made succession of
comedies of various degrees of mer-
riment. Principally concerned are
a beautiful waif who lives in rural
England, and soldier who has
fallen in love with her by having
assumed the duty of writing letters
for his squadron's fascinating vaga-
bond. The latter is no illiterate, a
conclusion you might plausibly
reach. On the contrary, he is SIM
ply too preoccupied with the amo-
rous adventures he finds in Italy to
worry about a girl back home in
England.
The relationship between the
Evening star., 1945-11-09
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

The fellow who wrote that song
called ITS Gotta Be This or That"
could not have meant to refer to
the motion picture comedy called
Guest Wife," which opened yester-
day at the Capitol. Guest Wife"
is right in that cinema groove
groove being a polite word mean
ing rut) where pictures are neither
this nor that, neither good nor
bad. The worst that can be said of
it is that it does not make the best
of its basic situation and the best
that can be said of it is that it
might have been far worse.
There is, probably, some basis for
humorous doings in story about a
man who loans his wife to his best
friend because the friend must have
a wife" to show off around the
office. He has, you see, dreamed
one up in an off moment, thereafter
accepting costly wedding gifts and
writing letters from her to the boss,
generally involving himself in we'd
lock about as thoroughly ss a man
can without getting married. This
does lend itself to some moderately
farcical moments, what with the
friends boss, house detective and
sundry other people poking their
noses into the affair.
X
Everybody tries to save a mar
riage, you see, by preventing the
husband from coming between his
friend and his own wife, whom
everybody thinks is his friends wife.
That is not only a complicated SEN
tence, but it also is a complicated
situation and it does permit of a
certain amount of light-hearted
foolishness as it is performed by
Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche and
Dick Foran. They have been in
volved in this sort of thing before,
and know how to play it. They
might have frightened the picture,
though, with a bit more freshness of
approach if they had not been in
volved in this sort of thing so many
times before.
Guest Wife" probably is notable
principally for two things. In the
first place it is additional proof thai
there is nothing new under the
kleig light as far as zany comedy
Is concerned, at least nothing new
that the producers thought any i'm
provement over the technique Of IL

three is pretty involved right from
the start. That necessitates rath-
er careful exposition, one of those,
long dull openings which prove try
ing on every one including the au-
dience. In spite of the caution
used in getting the ghastly romance
with the letter writer, and vice
versa, instead of with the man
whose name is signed to the letters
it is necessary to run back through
the picture once in a while to find
out why certain things are hap
pening. In the meantime, other
things have happened, which is like
ly to give YOU feeling of being
trapped along with the poor lovers
in the Screenplay.

One can see why Miss Jones and
Mr.. Gotten undertook to play Sin
gleton" and her gentle suitor with
his guilt-complex. On the surface,
they are inviting, romantic roles. 1t
is below the surface that they get
complex, subtle and too slippery, no
matter what degree of artfulness
the principals are able to muster.
Among the mentally manned in
whom the movies have been special
izing lately, Miss Jones is undeniably
different. She is not insane, under
stand, merely victim of a loss of
memory. Naturally, she is deeply
troubled to be so different. but She
is so normal and healthy otherwise,
and so piquantly lovely to look at,
that it is difficult to believe anything
really Is wrong with her.
The expression of absence of MEM
ory, other than vocally, is quite an
acting trick. Miss Jones probably
could do it if any one could, but the
best she accomplishes is certain
vacancy of expression which is far
from convincing at certain intervals
of the story. The inadequacy COM
Imunicates itself to her beloved
which diverts them both from con-
,centrating upon the suspense upon
which the narrative obviously de-
pends.
The mental turmoil In which
Love Letters" spins finds its con-
trast principally in the pastoral set
ting which dominates the latter por-
tions of the screenplay. Into this
frame come not only its more touch
ing sequences between the wounded
lovers, but few that have a becom-
lngly quiet humor about them. The
latter revolve principally about Cecil
Kellaway, the houseman of the fel-
low who wrote the letters, and a
bishop played by Ernest Cossart
who turns a fieeting passage into
something rather moving.
Love Letters" palpably started
out to be better motion picture
than it became even with such a
promising pair of principals as those
Paramount selected.

proves that word coinage is some
