than more dramatic for being
played against no contrast.
The Emily Ann Faulkner who
becomes Rita Shawn, movie
goddess, is doomed from the
outset, when her widowed
mother. in the depth Of the
depression, tries to palm her of
on relatives so she can remarry.
The girl overhears her mother
screaming that she doesn't
want her daughter and never
did. She grows up unloved and
continuing in desperate need Of
affection becomes her small
town high schools girl most
likely.
Comes the war and she
graduates from high school
boys to GIs and dreams con-
tinually Of Hollywood fame. She
meets the tormented. achingly
lonely son Of a famed movie

scene she hurls at her mother

decade and q half earlier,
abandons her baby and sets
out TO make her dream come

not Everywoman, or even

laid bare the cruel facts of
her life with an honesty that
is as much q reporters as q

Her character is illuminated
with a cold, harsh light In Miss
Stanley's strident performance.
