Of course you wouldn't. But that is what it cost Aunt Tabatha here to see the much-discussed “Moulin Rouge" last Wednesday night at the Capitol theatre on Broadway. The most expensive movie I Bhave ever attended. I assure you, dearie. I went to the Capitol directly fro pi work. There were no seats on the main floor so I took a seat on the extreme right hand side of the balcony. 1 was the only person In the row so I thought It would be nil right to put my purse, my umbrella and my hat on the seat next to me. When the picture was over, I went to the powder room, opened my hag and found that my wallet with two Nveek’s pay In It plus all my Identification, had been neatly clipped while I NELL RUSSELL was watching Jose Ferrer walk around on his knees In the role of Toulouse-Lautrec. Fortun ately I had some silver In a small coin purse or I would have been stranded In the heart of Broadway without a cent. I got an usher who had to be practically plunked on the head to encourage him to search for the wallet after he found I had been stupid enough to leave my pocketbook on the seat. “There’s no use looking, lady,” the usher yawned. "These pickpockets make a specialty of working theatre balconies. They watch for people like you.” I’m sure he actually meant “dopes like you” but he didn't say It although his tone certainly Inferred as much. After he had dislodged a half row of people and crawled around on all fours, he gave up. I didn’t. I went to the Lost and Found. No wallet. I went to the manager, an unhappy-looking individual, who looked unhappier when I told him about my wallet. (Theatre man agers are the most sour-looking characters in the world.) He sent me to the head usher who took me to the first usher. They both dislodged several rows of people while they looked for the wallet No wallet. The head usher gave me a lecture on the art of pick pocketing and wallet-snatching. The pickpocket puta his coat over the back of the back of the empty seat where the purse is resting. While the victim is engrossed in the action on the screen, the thief sneaks his hand down under the cover of the coat as if he's looking for something in his coat pocket. He extracts the wallet from the purse in a split second, calmly waits for awhile and then moves else where or leaves the threatre. These slick professionals seldom take the bag itself if they can avoid it because the ahsence of the entire purse might be noticed. Well, anyhow I had to earn the hard way. The girls at the offiee tell me they have various methods of protecting their money oir pay day. Some pin the loot Inside their bra. Others tie It In the end of a scarf and then knot the scarf securely around their neck. Seems as If everybody except Yours Truly knows the danger of carrying large sums of money In a purse or wallet, particularly when venturing Into a public place. Now I know. So what about "Moulin Rouge,” the film cost me two week’s labor lost? This picture is an Academy Award contender. As usually happens when Hollywood tackles the life story of a famous person, extreme liberties are taken with facts. The deformed painter Toulouse-Lautrec was a far more dissolute individual than comes out of Ferrer's characterization on the screen, Lautrec broke his legs when he was a boy. Because of a weakness in the family blood strain brought on by the marriage of his father and mother who were first cousins, the legs never did heal correctly. Lautrec's upper body grew but his legs remained stunted In order to play the role of Lautrec. Jose Ferrer had to walk on his knees with his lower legs strapped behind him. Ferrer makes the character of Toulouse-Lautrec a prim, ultra dignified man covering his inner torment and frustration behind an expressionless facade. Somehow the tearing of the heart and soul Is underplayed to an extent that It was difficult for this writer to see why a beautiful woman like the dress model, played excellently by Suzanne Finn, could fall In love with Lautrec. Colette Marchand, as the gutter slut who is be friended by Lautrec, comes to live with him and then laughs In his face after he falls in love Nvlth her, comes through with a far more definite Impact. The wonder of “Moulin Rouge” is in the color which shows the Bohemian life of Paris in the gaslit era with all of its gaudiness, lustiness. The cafe Moulin Rouge comes alive before your eyes with startling clarity. In reality, Lautrec with his deformed body, was a party of this bawdiness. His life was so dissolute that at first the producers of the picture were afraid the present-day generation of the family might not give permission for the life of Lautrec to be filmed. Muriel Smith, whom many of you saw as the star of "Carmen Jones” has a role as a cabaret dancer at the Moulin Rouge There are two things which may affect the Academy Award status of ’’Moulin Rouge.” It was produced abroad and except for Ferrer and Muriel Smith has a cast of French actors. Also. Ferrer has a record of affiliation with lefty fronts that doesn’t sit too welt with some people. It will be interesting to see just what does happen to "Moulin Rouge." Certainly it is one of the better pictures to come to the screen. I’m backing Shirley Booth for the best female acting plum. I don’t see how they can overlook her performance In “Come Back, Little Sheba." However, there Is already some muttering in Hollywood about Broadway stage actresses who have the “advantage" of playing one role over and over again as Miss Booth did in the stage version of "Sheba.” The fact that Booth could transmit her artistry to an unfamiliar medium is all the more reason for giving her serious consideration. At present writing, it looks like “High Noon" and "The Quiet Man” are out in front I didn't see either one of them. * * * A friend of Mr. R's who lives in a housing project showed him a list of subversive organizations on the Attorney General's list which had been handed out to the tenants.
