® ~ SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, p50 REGENT "PRINCE OF FOXES" NEXT ATTRACTION AT THE REGENT A princely motion picture is com- ing next Wednesday to the Regent Theatre. Twentieth Centuxy-Fox"s production of Samuel -Shellabarger's, epic romance, "Prince of Foxes;" combines a king-sized production scale with one the imperial casts of all movie tory. The result is. a breathtaking "experience in movie- going. "Prince of Foxes," as the millions of readers of Shellabarger;s novel will recall, highlights a dramatic episode in the career of the Borgias, bloodthirsty rulers of medieval Eur- ope, an episode that is credited with beginning the end of Borgia rule. As the young adventurer who begins in Cesare Borgia's service and, with @ moral awakening and his love for a beautiful girl to spur him dn, fin- ally brings about the Borgia down- fall, Tyrone Power has been pre- sented with one of his richest roles. Power plays it to the hilt, given the impetus of the foxy wiles of Orson Welles as the infamous Cesare and the quiet beauty of Wanda Hendrix as the girl he, comes to love. This sterling trio of stars is supported in "Prince of Foxes," and at moments outfoxed, by the work of Everett Sloane as Power's aide; Katina Paxinou as his peasant mother; and Felix Aylmer as a kindly head of state. Mr, Sloane's performance in- dicates how much he relished his reunion with Orson Welles, their scenes together having special force, and Miss Paxinou and Mr. Aylmer, both distinguished continental per- formers, come up with their finest work since 'For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Hamlet," respectively. But the notable acting by these noted players of a memorable screen- play by Milton Krims is still not the strongest feature of 'Prince of Foxes." Rather it is the incompar- ably magnificent on-location produc- tion under the guidance of Sol C. Siegel that emerges as the key ele- ment of the film. For the magnitude of "Prince of Foxes" is indeed fit for a king's tastes--and it has been fitted so by Hollywood's most aptly named director, Henry King. Taking his cast, crew and cameras into every renowned Borgia stronghold in Italy, King has been inspired to recreate in their original locations scenes of historic splendor and uns surpassed spectacle. The 'Prince earns itself a unique place in the crammed record-books of ambitious Twentieth Century-Fox projects. "Prince of Foxes" looks at the pomp and daring of ceremonial revels and the dark, brooding corri- dors of castle prisons with equal effect. It captures the heights of pageantry and the depths of Borgia evil with equal success. In one rep- resentative sequence showing a fort- ress under attack the audience is placed into the position of the cam- era itself and eyes, as if from under the protection of glass alone, great vats of boiling oil pouring down upon it. In another banquet-hall sequence the entertainment offered for the diversion of the Borgias includes what seems to be the gouging-out by Everett Sloane of Tyrone Power's eyes. Fortunately this proves to be a ruse, and the "Prince of 'Foxes' brings his career to a happy and heroic climax, but, for its duration, this scene attains a sense of dra- matic fascination seldom if ever duplicated in motion pictures.
