Fenella. Here, there is also a kind

Miss .Lupino lacks the quality of

gives the role a wrestle that might

the victims of, heels.
In way, the only happiness which
ever came out of -well-lostfor-
love passions of Miss Kennedy's
heroines, has been that of the movie
studios lucky enough to own the
rights to either novel. Wistful suf-
fering does pay off at the box Office
and the heartbreaks Of Tessa and
Gemma represented the most popu-
lar of this sort of thing.
This was especially true of Gem
ma, the girl of Escape Me Never" +"
when she was endowed with such
elfln, touching life dozen years
ago by Elizabeth Bergner.
It may be, now, that even this
has been lost for the new Escape
Me Never" at the Warner theater,
with Ida Lupino and Enrol Flynn
possesses little of the old poignant
appeal of the novel or the first
film version. The emotional quail
ity has been changed and the pity
of Genlma's misplaced faith in Sc
bastian, whose real mistress was his
music, has disappeared. Miss
Lupino's Gemma might have loved
the old Sebastian without sacrific-
ing the sympathy and understand
ing of moviegoers, but not the one
created by Flynn.
A sudden strange emptiness has
come over the whole thing, and an
artificiality that will be hard to
accept even by those who never
read the novel or saw Miss Bergner
in the first Escape Me Never"
The cast which Peter Godfrey di-
rected in the new feature exhibit
at the Warner rarely gets below
the surface of the screenplay S
characters. This is almost painfully
true of Flynn's portrait of the ir-
responsible Sebastian It was the
authors notion that the fellow was
musical genius, perhaps forgive
ably beyond the civilities of love,
but it never shows up in the per-
Torrance. Flynn's man is played
closer to the cockiness of a bobby
soxers' pet baritone than musician
possessed of genuine talent for COM
position.
Since so much depends upon oc-
casional glints of true genius in Sc
bastian, this is all most unhappy
for the dramatic effect of Escape
Me Never"
The strictly synthetic look of the
film begins with the opening scene
in Venice, a machine-tu Sc
quence if there ever was one. Gem
ma and Sebastian, the latter ap-
parently keeping an ear tuned on
the music of the spheres, are living
in squalor here. They move on,
however, to the high pure air of
the Dolonites with Sebastian's
brother, Carol, a singing gypsy trio
bent on finding the English heiress
with whom Carol has quarreled.
Up in those mountains, as bogus
as the Venice they left behind, they
do find the girl. This only makes
matters worse, for the philandering
Sebastian has no sooner set eyes
on her than he turns on his time

Susan Hayward Has
Difficult Film Task
In Lost Moment

THE LOST MOMENT" Universal
International Picture produced by Walter
Wanger. directed by Martin Gabel, screen
play by Leonardo Bercovici. based on the
novel, THE Aspern Papers,, by Henry
James. At the Capitol.
THE CAST
Evening star., 1947-11-21
By Harry Macarthur

Susan Hayward has developed into
rather capable motion picture &C
tress. She has broadened her emo
tional gamut from its original A to
B to something like A to M, or per-
haps even N. She may be seen fight
ing losing battle, however, in the
new picture at the Capitol, a SOM
ber melodrama called "The Lost
Moment"
"The Lost Moment" calls upon
Miss Hayward to portray a grim
young Venetian given to fits of be-
lieving she is her elderly aunt in
the days of the aunt's youth, be-
loved of the poet, Jeffrey Ashton,
long since dead. 1t is difficult enough
to explain this simply in sentence,
and you can imagine that Miss Hay
ward would have had quite a time
making any sense at all out OF 1t.
Even Ingrid Bergman would have
had trouble.
The affairs in which Miss Hay
ward is involved repeatedly stem
from Henry James THE Aspern
Papers," but resemblance to the ORR
ginal is something we can neither
vouch for nor deny All we know is
that Robert Cummings turns up at
spooky, rundown palace in Venice
claiming to be a writer, though he
actually is an unscrupulous pub

the late Jeffrey Ashton wrote to
his Juliana. Anything this Ashton
ever wrote, he implies at one point,
would have been of such awe inspir-

ing beauty that it belongs to the
world

ing beauty that it belongs to the
world.
Ashton must have been quite q
lad in his day, at that, for he has
left his mark on this household. His
old flame, Juliana, now pile of cold
ashes played by Agnes Moorehead
appears to be at least 157 years old
and just sits in her room day and
night dreaming about those love
letters. Tney must have been some
letters, too, since too much reread-
ing of them is what makes Juliana s
niece, Tina Miss Hayward, 60 off
her trolley periodically. Every time
Tina sneaks off to read the letters,
she pops back into the past and
thinks she's Juliana, disconcerting
the publisher by calling him Jeffrey
and rushing into his arms.
You might not believe it, but all
this finally reaches a Hollywood
happy ending. 1t is hardly con-
ventional ending, however, being ar
rived at when Susan and Robert
recognize their true love with a
great show of unconcern for Juliana
lying dead at their feet and the
house going up in flames behind
them. Quick Aspern, the aspirin.
