great Roman convert. He is also
one of its most dramatically un-
likely, not merely because of his
waStrel nature, but also because
he happens to be the Roman in
charge of the Crucif1xion.
Marcellus, Demetrius and the
multitude Of others in 1.-THE
Robe" participate in endleSsly
exciting incidents Of early Chris
tiap history. No restraint has
been put upon Director Henry
Roster in giving them a flow and
surge calculated to exploit to
the full, the spectacular pos
sibilities of the CinemaScope
process.
It is distinctly to the credit
of the players in "The Robe"
that they manage to give such
sharply outlined performances
in a field so vast as that of the
new screen.
This is true, however, Of Rich
ard Burton's portrait Of Mar
cellus, the young Roman who
followed a piece of homespun
worn by the Messiah into a
niche in history. The evolution
of frivolous young man, reck-
less, arrogant and defiant, into
an humble. decent citizen Is
forcefully represented in Bur-
tons acting.
Less of subtlety is demanded
of Victor Mature as the muscu-
lar, sullen DemetriuS, but it Is
another effectively outlined char
acter. AS the girl Diana, Jean
Simmons is suitably exquisite
and passionate; Michael Rennie
is a softly solemn Apostle Peter,
and Jay Robinson is an i'm
pressively unstable and ranting
Caligula.
That they do so we'll in q
medium of such sensational pic
torial scope Is an asset to "The
Robe" and CinemaScope that
keeps its impact from being over
whelmingly one-sided.

1t is the process, not the pic
ture, that is the sensational as
pect of the first CinemaScope
production. Screen spectacle has
never been so dazzling as in this
revolutionary way Of making
movies. TiberiuS' SplendorouS
Rome, ancient Jerusalem torn
with the birth pangs Of Chris
tianity, and the vast wastes OF
the Holy Land have been pic
tured before but never like this.
CinemaScope gives them a
magnificence of size mad color
that pales other and older proc
eSseS.
This is the dramatic strength
of "The Robe" and, at the same
time, its flaw. It's story. Lloyd
G. Douglas narrative which has
waited 10 years to be produced,
is somehow disproportionate to
the opulence Of goth Century
Fox's new process. It is by no
means lost altogether in the
visual Splendor of its packaging.
but it is the lesser part Of what
meets the eye Of the spectator.
That this should be the case
may very easily represent the
careful judgment of the studio.
With a choice of emphasizing a
revolutionary weapon or a mere
ly conventional ingredient such
rs story, it took the former. leav-
Ing critics to quibble if that is
THEIR choice.
It is not merely usually that
"The Robe" is a revolutionary
assault upon the moviegoer'S
senses. Combined with stereo-
phonic sound, the words and
music of the film have a match
ing impact upon the bedazzled
customer.
The screenplay taken from
Douglas story by Gina Klaus and
Philip Dunno accents the action,
not the spiritual essence, of the
original. The latter is merely
implicit as the source of the
energy which drives the various
characters across the huge new
screen.
In outline, however, "The
Robe" follows Douglas text. It
Is the story of a young Roman

may even rob the leaves of some

great pride in their stretches of
forested lands are growing lyrical
about the show awaiting tourists

Reds and yellows already have
appeared at mile-high and

Most accommodations in those

North Carolina boasts of color
