Hitchcock Pulls His Cwn Stunt
In Tale of Murder as a Stunt
t
By Jay Carmody.
Alfred Hitchcock, master-mind of murder in the movies, is an
artist with much of the scientist’s temperament. He like* to tinker
with basic formulas, especially his own.
Tinker he does in “Rope,” the latest Hitchcock thriller which opened
yesterday at the Warner. The resultant study of high class homicide
is revolutionary, which, spectacular though the word may sound, does not
mean max, nope is nucncocss
best screenplay. It is merely a
good enough melodrama which
nevertheless suggests that it might
have been better if the director had
been lees interested in method, or
technique, and more interested in
etory material.
Any Hitchcock, of course, is rec
ommendable and this is certainly
true of "Rope” whose corking cast
is headed by James Stewart. John
Dali, Parley Grainger and Sir Cedric
Hardwicke.
* * * *
"Rope” which is shot in a straight
chronological line, as if it were a
stage play, is of much the same;
dimensions as the latter. That is
to say, its continous action is j
limited to a New York apartment,
and almost entirely to the living
room of that establishment.
The famous Leopold-Loeb case
of the ’20s is the obvious inspiration
of the Patrick Hamilton play, of
which Hitchcoc% screen drama is
and adaptation. It starts at a level
of suspense that is remarkably high
and climbs rather constantly with
only enough changes in mood to
keep the maximum tension bearable.
Like the Chicago thrill killers,
"Rope's” murderous pair fancy
themselves above the moral law
which governs average humans. In !
the lavender intellectual world they j
have created for themselves, mur- j
der is a permissible exercise of su
periority. It represents an exciting
test not merely of their wits, but of i
their exemption from the conscience '
of mere mortals.
The murder they commit is a kind
of esthetic feat. Its victim is a j
mutual friend, a school days’ com- (

panion who chose normality over
precosity. Strangling an old, un
suspecting friend is exciting, but
not sufficiently so. They have timed
it exquisitely to tiring it off just be
fore a cocktail party to which they
have invited the dead boy’s doting
parents. The filip in this is that
the corpse shall be concealed in a
living room chest from which the
buffet is served to the guests.
Macabre, hunh?
* * * *
It takes Hitchcock but a minute
to set this grisly stage which is
lighted immediately thereafter by a
brilliant picture window which looks
out on New York's jeweled skyline
at sunset.
The blemish on the perfection of
the murder is quickly revealed. It
lies in the differing degrees of ego
in the killers, played by Dali and
Granger. The crime is the ex
hilerating thing Dali expected. It
strengthens his superman convic
tion. Not so in the case of his com
panion. The remnant of conscience
n him gives him a severe case of
;he jitters which, as the party goes
pn. exposes him to the suspicions of
i former schoolmaster (Stewart),
me of the party guests.
As Hitchcock’s cat in the subse
quent game of cat-and-mouse,
Stewart is no spotless hero. As the
former teacher of the precocious
killers, it was he who first planted
in their minds the amoral fancies,
which became the motive of their
crime. He is in a sense guilty with
hem, but he also is ideally equipped
for the attendant duel of wits
which will expose the pair or put
the stamp of final perfection upon
their crime.
Hitchcock is not really concerned
to conceal that his climax will be
exposure of the crime. He is con
tent rather to build his suspense
around just how and when this
will be accomplished.
J * * *
Hitchcock's stunt in “Rope” de
mands of the performers a finer
textured acting than is encountered
in even the better screen melo
dramas. It asks continuous charac.
ter creation from the inside out and
it must have been as exhausting to
the players as it is rewarding to
audiences.
Most varied portrait among the
principal trio, master and pupils,
is that of Stewart, an intellectual

hedonist who discovers that young
minds are hideously vulnerable to
amoral suggestion. Dali is equally
effective in his satanic representa
tion of the dominant murderer and
Granger, as his weak-souled com
panion, is never less than convinc
ing.
Hitchcock quality acting is deliv
ered also by those in lesser roles:
Joan Chandler, a newcomer; Con
stance Collier, Sir Cedric, and
Edith Evanson as the loquacious
maid.
Murder as a double rich stunt,
once by the precocious boys in the
story, once by Hitchcock, is some
thing you had better see. Even if
it is not the master’s best.

The hombres in the old west
were not all bad. Nor were gun
play and poker the only games they
knew. m
In the same saloons where this
type drank and in the mountain
passes where it murdered and pil
laged, there were tough, decent,
witty men who were a match for
anybody without drawing a gun.
This pleasant intelligence is dis
closed in “Four Faces West,” new
film feature at the Metropolitan
which is so much the dramatic
superior of most westerns that
smart producers henceforth will
throw their six-guns into the Pa
cific.
Oddly enough, Harry Sherman
whose actors have used up enough
ammunition to win a half a dozen
small revolutions, is the producer
of “Four Faces West.” Through
happy circumstance, however, he
ran across Eugene Manlove Rhodes’
novel, “Paso Por Aqui” (Those
Who Pass This Way). It gave him
a narrative in which character is
the dominant element, and one
which makes a quite agreeable
screenplay.
Joel McCrea's is the top face
among the four in the picture’s
title. Behind it lurks a nature bold,
daring, resourceful and brave
enough even to be tender when the
occasion demands. He enters the
picture amiably holding up a bank,
but with the difference that he
leaves an IOU signed "Jefferson
Pa vis.”
The other faces become quickly
involved in his life. One is that of
Frances Dee, a nurse who falls in
love with him but wishes she knew
more about him. Another is that
of Charles Bickford, as a progres
sive, altruistic, philosophic United
States Marshal who has to start
hunting down all bandits, even the
more decent. Hie final face belongs
to Joseph Calleia who enters the
dramatic tangle as a wise Mexican
gambling house proprietor who
knows a moral bandit when he sees
one, and who has a vast admiration
for the type.
There is not much incident in
“Four Faces West,” not enough to
keep it entirely from representing
another six-reel horseback ride, but
everybody is so agreeable and
charming that one can’t help lik
ing them all. Moreover, all are suf
ficiently given to drollery that you
feel the old West has been maligned
by that excess of gunplay in those
Randolph Scott things. —J. C.

By Chris Mathiesen
“Abbott and Costello Meet Frank
enstein” is an admixture of comedy
and horror. The Palace attraction,
perhaps, represents a dilution of
both screen “art" forms. To that
extent, it may prove a less satisfying
offering than usual to devotees of
the slim and stocky funsters.
Abbott and Costello prevail, how
ever, over the chilly doings of such
competent scare artists as Bela Lu
gosi and Lon Chaney—he who for
merly appended a “Jr.” The horror
complement also includes Glenn
Strange as the Frankenstein mon
ster.
This is a story of little moment
and careful balance. Abbott and
Costello are their familiar selves,
but the gruesome counters the
laughter. This perhaps, makes the
film less a fitting display of the
duo’s slapstick than devotees might
wish. There is no mistaking, how
ever, that it is a Lou and Bud ver
sion of what might make people
laugh.
The film remains a comedy, de
spite the effective shiver shenani
