Gripping Drama
Against A True
Rural Background
Notable in brilliancy of perform
ances and sheer pictorial beauty,
“The Stranger’s Return,” filmed
from the new Phil Stong novel of
rural life, opens Tuesday, (tonight),
at the Dream Theatre with Lionel
Barrymore and Miriam Hopkins co
starred in the leading roles.
Directed by King Vidor, the Met
ro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture achieves
masterful sweep in dramatic power
against a farm back-ground that
lends realism to the gripping story
action. Written by the author of
“State Fair,” the film transcends the
glory of his earlier work in simple,
genuine, human interest
With Lionel Barrymore cast as the
85-year-old farmer who refuses to
die until his house is in Order, Barry
more delivers the- most compelling
characterization of his career. Miss
i Hopkins, seen as his city-bred grand
daughter, is superb in her interpre
tation of -a role exacting in its de
T i
rnands. t'-’
Vidor scores heavily with the
smooth flow of the story and inter
esting treatment of his subject.
Franchot Tone, rapidly coming to
the front as a new romantic hero,
carries the love theme with Miss
Hopkins and proves a valuable ac
quisition to the cast. Stuart Erwin
is seen as a bucolic character of both
humor and sympathy. Irene Her
vey scored in the part of the young
farm wife and the splendid cast in
cludes Beulah Bondi, Grant Mitchell
Tad Alexander and Aileen Carlyle.
