DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
* by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Victo» Hugo’s Notre Dame de Paris, or The Hunchback of Notre
Dame, is a real thriller. Mr. Hugo is to the more sophisticated
audiences the same sort of tonic that a Western is to the Saturday
night crowds in. many a prairie town. The Hunchback was presented
yesterday afternoon and last night at the Carolina Theatre by
Charles Picquet.
Charles. Laughton plays the Hunchback, and rings the bells with
confidence. In this respect he has a decided edge over Lon Chaney,
the bell ringer of the silent picture, who had to play the part without
the aid of sound.
Many a small town publisher will shiver when he goes to this
show on a pass and watches Laughton pour that large bowl of
Lin-o-type metal through the ears, noses and teeth of'Notre Dame’s
famous gargoyles. They could settle their accounts with their met
allurgists with that amount of metal.
No writer has a reputation for depicting Paris sewer life as
well as Mr. Hugo. He is credited with doing a better job on the
sewers than Thomas Hardy did on old English Cathedrals. Mr. Hugo
knew the underprivileged of Paris and gives them to his readers in
the raw, without a shave or a haircut. The motion picture direc
tors enjoy putting tills sort of copy on film because it photographs
with authority.
Mr. Laughton makes a fine hunchback. He is well gotten up.
He got a workout in a Victor Hugo classic when he played the Cap
tain of Police in Le§ Miserables and followed Jean Val Jean through
at least 1000 pages of terrific fiction before he made the coup.
There are tender sports in The Hunchback, just as there are
desperately cruel spots. Mr. Hugo was an expert in contrast. He
could skip from the depravity of a beggar’s div^e to the degeneracy
of Fontainebleau without as much as a transfer. Prom the cat to
the mouse.
Film directors like this sort of stuff. It gives them something
to work'with. It takes off the veneer and gives them a chance to
make candid camera shots of what makes people tick.
In 1852 Hugo was exiled for his political opinions. The nobles
became irked at reading his essays and poems about the underpriv
ileged. He made them think that something ought to be done about
it and they were too busy having a good time. They preferred the
philosophy of Marie Antoinette, who suggested that they should,
“eat cake,” but did not give them the address of the baker.
