...cinema cliche, it hardly seems like a movie. There are some extraordinary technical novelties through which Welles and wiry, experienced little Photographer Gregg Toland have given the camera a new elo quence - for example, the "stolen" newsreels, the aged and streaked documentary shots. When Susan makes her disastrous operatic debut, the camera tells the story by climbing high up among the flies to find two stagehands - one with his hand pinching his nose in disgust. Always the camera seems to be giving the narrative a special meaning where it will help most: picturing a small bottle beside a tumbler when...

...dozens of laughs for easy laughers. Sample: "An opportunity like that, and he didn't goose her!-he's in love." Sounder chuckles come when the producer (Reynolds Evans), a solemn amateur chef, rapturously breathes out his formula for the preparation of gumbo. Making her Broadway debut in the play is Designer Norman Bel Geddes' daughter Barbara, 18, who should continue to do well in parts requiring a plump, pleasant young person with a babyish voice. But father Geddes, who preferred Barbara as Amy in last summer's Little Women at Clinton, Conn., has a different...
