House east room. AS for costumes,
if Dolly dressed like this, she must
have been all 10 of the best dressed
women of her time.
Having lavished this much adora-
ton of Mrs. Madison, however, Uni
versal Pictures, found it could not
stop. 1t went right on and changed
her life story to make it worthy OF
a woman being played by Ginger
Rogers, gallantry perfected in
Hollywood where the most exciting
pages of history always have looked
insufferably dull.
In the writing of THE Magnifl-
cent Doll" " scriptist Irving Stone and
his producers, did not deliberately
seek to bring shame upon their old
history teachers. The liberties 1t
took, the explanation goes, were all
in the interest of making Dolly a
more entertaining creature than ap-
parently she was able to make OF
herself.
Hollywood's old history teachers
are sure to remain unappeased by
this witless justification. 1t is also
highly dubious that the public will
find itself sufficiently entertained to
have made the distortion worth
while.
In showing so much more consld-.
Grafton for Miss Rogers than Tor
Dolly Madison and history, THE
Magnificent Doll'' does put on a
most attractive false face. There
is no denying that Ginger is a
sparkling girl, especially when dress
ed that elaborately. Nor is it pos
sible to dispute that both Washing
ton and Philadelphia were attractive
in Charles-of the-Ritz way, and
sometimes exciting as well. And, as
for Virginia, it seems little foolish
to have grown out of what it was
then-a sheer Eden-into the con-
gested set of suburbs it has since
become.
Author Stones effervescent report
on Mrs Madison tosses historic
names around with recklessneSs

I have two other-and more i'm

good pictures, but not if they inter-
fere with more important things"
Like Miss Leslie, Lauren has
dream wardrobe in her picture. The
clothes were designed for her by
Bernard Newman. It's the first time
that Miss Bacall, a model in pre-
movie life, really goes to town on
clothes.
Joan fontaine is doing a scene

audiences out starry-eyed with
secrets they never knew until now
1t concentrates, naturally, upon
the Madisons, Dolly and James F.,
but don't forget they had lot of
friends such as Thomas Jefferson,
Alexander Hamilton, etc. Above all,
don't forget that Dolly had suitor
named Aaron Burr, and James a
bitter romantic and political rival
of the same name.
Burr is the villain of "The Mag
nificent Doll" and he is the true
Hollywood villain, not the passionate
pleader for a merely unpopular
viewpoint that history has painted
him. AS played by Niven, an actor
who gives emphatic performances,
Burr is almost certain to find a new
place in history. He is pictured here
as a satanic sort, charming on the
outside, but black within and bent
only upon monarchial revolution
with himself as King.
Burr's descendants already have
registered their protests of this por-
trait. Certainly they would have in
herited none of their ancestors
passionate sense of right had they
failed to do So
The 80 minutes of THE Magnifi-
cent Doll" scoop up a number OF
historic incidents to illustrate pos
terity's indebtedness to Mrs. Mad

Virginia when Father John Payne,
just back from the Revolution and
a sudden religious fanatic, pledges
her to Quaker John Todd in mar

adventure, comes the plague, Dolly's

triumphant one of Madison whose
anti-slave trading law she puts over
with a historic dinner.
After that, comes Washington, the
dramatic election conflict between
jefferson and Burr. Madison's days
as Secretary of State, Burr's flight
and his trial for treason, and then,
the climactic event in Richmond
This is Burr's acquittal followed by
a republic-saving speech by Dolly
which certainly must be the finest
specimen of bowling down a mob in
the whole history of womankind.

Through these dramatic events,
Miss Rogers sweeps in a succession
of gowns so dazzling that even a
lesser actress could create the i'm
preston that she was democracy's
mother. And stride-for- stride, she
is matched by the fiery-faced Niven
as Burr, and the calm, smiling GER
titude of Meredith as Madison.
All of the principals and even the
minor players indicate they would
have been just as responsive to Di-
rector Frank Borzage in a more
historically accurate script.
