TWO RISING STARS
FEATURED IN "ROPE"
Two rising young actors get the
prize chance of a lifetime in Al-
fred Hitchcock's sensational Tech-
nicolor film, "Rope," coming Sun-
day and Monday, Feb. 20-21, to
the Aztec. They are John Dall and
Farley Granger, who enact the
roles of the "thrill slayers" in the
picture, adapted from the celebrat-
ed stage play of the same name.
In more than one way, "Rope,"
which stars James Stewart, prom-
ises to be the major film event of
the year. In the first place, the
revolutionary camera technique
used by the mastor of suspense
called for acting gymnastics on the
part of the young players. The
camera never stopped rolling dur-
ing the shooting of a reel. Since
it glided through sliding walls in
the three-room apartment the boys
had to jump from one spot to an-
other to change positions behind a
fast-moving camera boom.
However, the lucky partners in
crime considered their roles more
difficult than the technique. They
play young criminals who strangle
to death a young companion for
sheer excitement. They put the
body in a chest from which they
serve a buffet supper to the vic-
tim's father, fiancee and assorted
friends.
Hitchcock said, "I chose Grang-
er for his sensitivity arid Dall for
his sense of brilliant ruthlessness.
Joan Chandler, from the Broad-
way stage, Sir Cedric Hardwicke
and Constance Collier also play
supporting roles.
Mr. and Mri. Cap Whorton went
to Dallas Friday to attend a Che\
rolet meeting that night.
went on to Naples to spent
week-end with her parent-,
and Mr-. W. D. W'omack.
