The Passing Show
Latest Hitchcock Thriller
Lacks Only Credibility
By Jay Carmody
Washingtonians will not exactly preen themselves on what Alfred
Hitchcock says goes on here in “Strangers On A Train,” which opened
yesterday at the Warner.
Come to think of. it, neither will Hitchcock. The old master of
the macabre, as tricky a man as ever pointed a movie camera, is
m someuiiug ui uie puoiuuu ui «
great chef who made a beautiful
icing but forgot to bake the cake
Unlike most film directors who
suffer from a lack of invention,
Hitchcock is the victim of his ex
cessive talent in this direction.
In “Strangers On a Train” he
Is so resourceful that he ends up
what seems like four or five pic
tures away from the one he set
out to make. This is not in itself
an uninteresting spectacle but
more single-minded movie patrons
are likely to find themselves ex
asperated and unconvinced. These
are not the moods of happy peo
ple, nor do they represent the
guarantee once implicit in the
name cf Hitchcock.
* * * *
As in “Rope,” his predecessor
film, Hitchcock again is fascinated
by the murderous psychopath.
This one is a demented playboy
type, played by Robert Walker,
whose obsession is not merely com
miting the perfect murder but
also of selecting a victim who is
being a nuisance.
It is with this thought on his
mind that he strikes up a lounge
car conversation with Farley
Granger on a trip between here
and New York (oddly enough on
the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad). He knows who
Granger is, a top-flight tennis
player, and he also knows that
the young man is in love with a
Senator’s daughter whom he can
not marry because of a current
marital entanglement.
“The trouble with murder,”
Walker says in effect to his trav
eling companion, “is that the mo
tive gives a man away. Why not.
therefore, old man, let me kill
your soiled dove of a wife while
you do in my old man? Neither
of us knows the victims, which will
throw the police completely off
the trail. In other words, let’s
trade murders.”
Granger, no credit to the in
telligence of top-flight tennis
6tars, is not taken in by this, but
• STRANGERS ON A TRAIN.” a Warner
Brothers picture, produced by Allred
Hitchcock, directed by Hitchcock, screen
play by Raymond Chandler and Crenel
Ormonde, adaptation by Whitfield Cook,
ifrom the novel by Patricia Hiahsmith. At
the Ambassador and the Warner.

he feels himself an accessory when
Walker completes his half of the
bargain by murdering the un
wanted wife in a sordid amuse
ment park strangling.
* * * *
The minute he gets this situation
set. Hitchcock starts playing it
with a positive frenzy. The fact
that he may be performing before
audiences composed exclusively of
skeptics never seems to occur to
him.
He plays his camera not only
over the busy landscape between
Washington and New York, but
also into every corner of the minds
of the usual multitude of Hitch
cock characters. These include
not merely the demented playboy
and the not-bright tennis player,
but the Senator's pretty daughter.
me oenawr, v-apiuu cuv&mui yai tj
goers, amusement park attendants
and the thrill-seeking customers,
and naturally a number of police
officials interested in the case.
Even when it suggests that chaos
has taken over, a Hitchcock cam
era is something to follow. Each
:scene represents a special varia
tion of the master’s touch. If
they do not seem to bear any no
table relation to one another, or
particularly to the story being told,
somehow this is not as annoying
as when other'directors do it.
* * * *
That suspense for which he be
came famous is not as cleverly
manipulated in "Strangers On A
Train” as it usually is. It centers
here, of course, in whether the
young tennis player will carry out
his part of the bargain, be trapped
as an accessory to Walker’s mur
der, or ultimately be bright enough
to say the one word or two that
will clear him. In view of the
unlikelihood that Granger can go
on being as dumb as he acts, the
end of the film is a foregone con
clusion.
It is Hitchcock’s custom, of
course, to come up with a dra
matic ending that is dizzily be
yond the wildest imagining of his
followers. In this case, it is a
merry-go-round that goes mad
when the dying operator pulls the
wrong lever and gives the device
full power. While it is thus madly
whirling to what appears to be
everybody’s destruction, the Sven
gali character and his victim fight
it out to?rpossession of an all-im
portant piece of evidence.
If it has not been made clear
before, all this is quite incredible,
but it is not lacking in excitement
at any time.
Not even at that moment when
the tennis player is rushing to
Union Station by driving west
across Memorial Bridge. Whoever
| took that shot out of the library
■for Hitchcock should have read
the label more carefully.

'Excuse My Dust' Recalls I
How Nice It Was in 1900
Loew's Capitol, a wise old hostj
of a movie house, poured its guests
a large slug of Americana yester
day with the opening of Red Skel
ton’s latest, "Excuse My Dust.”
With Skelton, Technicolor and
appropriate music, the film is a
nostalgic recall of how it was In
this tranquil country back in the
early 20th century. The machine
age was in the air then, especially
the gasomobile which is now so
popular and hazardous, and the
M-G-M film is more of an inno
cent than an exciting reminder;
of what life was like.
It may well have been the as
sumption of Director Roy Row
land that it would be absurd to
make an exciting movie of how
quiet life used to be. In “Excuse
My Dust,” he chooses to sneak up
on the customers with the insinu
ation that it was better to be dull
like grandpop than neurotic as we
are now.
“Excuse My Dust” is otherwise
a musical comedy rather obviously
designed to flit Skelton and his
public. It pins its complete faith
on Skelton’s slapstick artistry and
his mimicry of a small town boy
who becomes a laughing stock by
trying to invent a horseless car
riage. This has been done a num
ber of times before. It also has
been done better, but seldom bet
ter natured.
While the past is being thus
taken care of on the screen, the
i sophisticated present is being ex
pertly handled on the stage by
this week’s headline dancers,
Mario and Floria. Young as they
are, this team is an old favorite
with Washington audiences. This
is as it should be.
* * * *
Indiana, which sometimes must
get the feeling it is the most
typical of the States, is the back
ground of the story George Wells
wrote for Skelton and his well
chosen associates in “Excuse My
Dust.” Here, in a typical small
town, Skelton goes about whipping
up a pioneer automobile while the
neighbors amiably scoff at his
madness.
Chief scoffer, naturally, is the
livery stable owner (William De
marest) whose daughter (Sally
Forrest) is Skelton’s fiancee. Most
of the town is behind Demarest
and his horses, but the fued is an
affair with charm. As all small
towns do in musical comedies, this
one seems constantly to be having
moonlight hayrides, daylight pic
nics and box socials.
These provide the occasion for
a considerable variety of seasonal
songs and dances, one of the
latter of which is quite a pleasing
ballet dealing with a forecast of
women’s styles for the first 50
years of the 20th century. In this
Miss Forrest proves that she is
quite a lovely and talented girl
dancing down the decades from
petticoats to practically nothing.
The climax of the film’s action
is a 20-mile road race in which
! Metro pulls the miracle of putting
a flock of ancient automobiles into
running condition. These include
gas, electric and steam-driven
crudities which stage a fairly in
teresting competition despite the
fact that it must be the longest,
slowest race ever photographed.
* * * *
The stage show headed by Mario
and Floria also features an ap
propriate seasonal overture, a great
Jig production featuring the or
ihestra, soloists and an octette,
rhe theme is "Show Boat” and it
Its July 4 as well as any roman
:andle ever made.
Other acts on the bill include
3teve Evans and his impressions of
veil known Hollywoodites, the
singing team of Betty Jane Wat
son and Jerry Austin and the
rovelty skating number by the
Macks. J. C.
