1t is the hopeful premise of "She
Went to the Races" which arrived
at Loew's Capitol yesterday, that
science can beat the races, even II
laymen have been trying for years
to do SO without success. The lay
man fails because of the human ele-
ment, it is pointed out; but, as one
of the wonderful scientific charac-
ters involved in the film says, 1--WE
are scientists and we are not con-
cerned with anything human"
This is a bright caprice on which
to base light comedy entertain
ment and one must go out OF his
way to register the only serious
complaint that is valid. This is that
Director Willis Goldbeck and Script
writer Lawrence Hazard together are
not the equal of one Preston Sturges
The comparison may be unfair, but
it cannot be helped. The possibilities
involved, when four solemn anc
elderly scientists and one young ano
beautiful one apply their knowledge
to determination of the relative
speeds of group of horses, cry fol
Mr.. Sturges' attention.
This is just passing thought, o1
course. Things work out very nicely

my Reputation" which opened
yesterday at the Earle, Is what the
trade Identifies as a woman'S pic
ture. The basic assumption OF that
designation appears to be that the
world is filled with females waiting
around for an excuse to weep over
what a rotten shame life is. Un-
fortunately for its accuracy in this
instance, the life lived by Barbara
Stanwyck virtually reeks with sta
ton wagons, a suburban palace, the
wardrobe of a princess, rich and
vivacious friends, and even private
swimming pool. True, on the spirit
ual or ethical side, Miss Stanwyck
has just lost her handsome husband
and has to be careful about falling
in love with George Brent, but it
remains impossible to see why any
one should weep for her.
None of this Is to say that the
struggle to build up Miss Stanwyck's
case in MY Reputation" is not a
game one. Director Curtis Bern
hardt-a worthy name that-spends
a painstaking half-hour setting you
wise to the fact that being rich
young widow has its problems. In
men, she has her choice between the
wolf type or the sheep dog type. In
children, of which she has two sons,
II and IA, there is the question OF
smothering them to her or letting
them leave her to her loneliness.
Socially, she has the option of living
like a recluse, albeit comfortable
one, or making allowance for a pos
sible second matrimonial adventure
which will get her talked about by
the malicious neighbors. OF course,
she might avoid the pain OF all these
by giving herself a realistic lecture.
Miss Stanwyck in the film is incapa-
BILE of doing the latter, which leaves
you feeling quite cold toward her.
(You man at a woman's picture

1t is not a much more attractive
figure Brent carves in the proceed
ings of My Reputation Once,
quite late in the picture after he
meets her on snowy mountain, he
courts Miss Stanwyck quite assidu-
ously but there is always sardonic
infection in his devotion that
makes you dubious of it. And, later
in the picture, when the sons have
heard tales of him and their mother,
he performs like a complete dope
when an honest word from him
would have settled their qualms
completely.

and Charles Halton, the four who
contend that there is no gambling
connected with the sport of kings
when the approach is scientific.
These four are such able character
actors that you are quite likely to
feel that their line of reasoning Is
correct.
It Is no mere sporting urge which
leads these scientific gentlemen to
the race track, you should know. It
is a matter Of raising a $4,000 fund
so one of their number will not lose
his job at research institute, and
the quickest way to raise $4,000,
they reason, is by betting on those
animals that never bet on people.
There will be no chance involved.
The speed of a horse, the weight of
a jockey, the condition of track
and the weather are facts. And
science, gentlemen, can deal with
facts.
1t is the gayest whimsy of the film
to permit these contentious to be
proved correct. The scientists do

end only because five great minds
(the four above named and Frances
Clifford, the pretty one), while en-
countering no difficulties with rela-
tivity and integral calculus, add two

as five.
The picture slows to a more pc
destrian pace at those moments
when it Is concerned with a minor
romantic triangle wherein James
Craig, silly boy, can not choose be-
tween Miss Clifford and Ava Gard
ner. Still there are even some
moments of humor in this affair

thriller in the Hitchcock library, but
1t, is easily good enough to give the
customers a two-hour working over
they will not soon forget.
Miss Bergman as Hitchcock'S
heroine doffs her nuns habit for
the horn trimmed spectacles of the
woman psychiatrist, but she re-
mains one of the most fetching fe-
males in the whole. art of acting.
The mild shock of finding her as
a frigidly precocious explorer of the
added mind lasts only until she
gets to Peck's case. Madness and
love, rarely so adroitly mixed, car
ry on from there in fashion no.
tably calculated to keep audiences
alert If not precisely spellbound. At
such times as the strain may need
relieving, the screenplay snaps out
with one of those flashing, witty
asides which are high lights of the
masters recipe. A large and glossy
cast Is present to participate in any
lightning change of mood which
Hitchcock may deem in order.
Ben Hecht, who has been busy
elsewhere during the last several
years, turns up as adapter of the
Francis Beeding novel. His interim
preoccupation has in nowise di-
minished his aptness as a cinema
translator.
The framework on which Spell
bound" accomplishes its nerve
stretching is built psincipally around
the characters played by Miss Berg
man and Peck. She is the sane
one, remarkably SO among the fic-
tional psychiatrists to which Holly
wood has taken such a fancy. It
Is in the character impersonated by
Peck that the audience finds its
startled wonder at what will hap
pen next, and how violent it is like
ly to be.
AS in the case of most Hitchcock
chronicles this one imposes the

In it she was chiefly successful, or
the picture fortunate, in getting
Lucille Watson to impersonate the
mother of the young widow. Miss
Watson as the stuffy older widow
lifts convention character into the
stature of quite merry one.
She gets a capable sort of assist
on the comedy side from Eve Arden
who with John Ridgley provide
passing moments of fun, the best
of them one of those cold bedroom
reading scenes which have been
funny ever since, natrimony was
discovered.

from too many other blotches to be
retrieved by such as these. J.C.

Icondltlon that 1t shall not be dis
cussed in too much detail. 1t is not
too much to say, of course, that
when Peck turns up at the mental
hospital as its new director and
almost instantly becomes her most
spectacular patient, Miss Bergman
finds him equally fascinating as a
man as he is case. 1t is as both
woman and psychiatrist that she
leaps into the mystery of his life.
Her first and only inspiration or
clue, which they both make plaus-
Iible, is that even though he has lost
his memory and fancies terrible
things, he has nothing to be
ashamed of.
Before the skittering, but never
firing, elements of the plot are
drawn together at the end, there
are two dozen intimations that she
is as crazy as he, naturally in a
different way At no time, however,
do these amount to a final conclu-
sion on your part. The deft Hitch
cock, and his facile performers,
have their own conclusion for which
they keep you waiting with what
ever degree of excitement they
choose for you.
Don't get the notion that the
psychiatric theme of "Spellbound'
puts any restriction upon the pur-
suit element in the Hitchcock for
mula. 1t is there, double rich, in
that while the doctor and patient
are chasing furiously back over the
scene of his possible crime, they are
being chased quite as fervently by
the police. The police participation,
incidentally, gives Hitchcock the
opening for the best of these satiric
asides for which his pictures are
notable 1t involves an episode in
| which the two detectives searching
for the missing couple sit looking at
them and listening to them for a
full five minutes in another psychia-
trist's Office.
AS usual in Hitchcock's formula,
the subordinate characters are
sharply drawn no matter how feet
ing their participation in the story
Best of these, and a merry man to
have around, is an elderly psychia-
trist played by Michael Chekhov. As
Miss Bergman's former teacher, he
not only has great deal to tell her
about the eccentricity of her pro-
fessional procedure, but he comes in
handy for saving her life in one OF
the chronicles most dramatic pas
sages. That is one in which Peck Is
having the worst of his spells, q
whole series of which he plays with
invariable excellence.

Emery the same as the romantic
staff member; Norman Lloyd as q

as the detective.
They all help the stars to serve
