| Two of acting's great aIchemists, LiIlian Gish and HeIen Hayes, take the same role 10 years apart and transform melodrama into art. They each portray Angela Chiaromonte, a sheItered Italian beauty consumed by grief when her solider sweetheart is reported kiIled in WorId War l. Angela seeks soIace as a nun, foregoing human passion for the peace of God's love. Then her beIoved returns, begging her to renounce her vows. ln the 1923 silent directed by Henry King (The Song of Bernadette), Gish is ethereal, her gIowing spirit a counterpoint to the pomp and power of the church. in teh 1933 taIkie directed by Victor Fleming (Gone With The Wind), Hayes is stronger, more of this world, a woman of grit as weIl as grace. As the lost soIdier, two screen legends add more starpower: RonaId CoIman (1923) and CIark Gable (1933). |
