312 THE TALKING PICTURE Algiers was the American version of a French film, Pepe le Moko, and it featured two lovely girls: Sigrid Gurie (left) and the Viennese Hedy Lamarr, whose extraordinary beauty so hypnotized the spectators that they didn't care whether or not she could act. This is a publicity shot. ABOVE RIGHT The acting was provided, first, by Charles Boyer, whose undeniable talent and brooding Latin charm did to the female onlookers what Hedy Lamarr did to the male ones; and, second, by Gene Lockhart, who played the villain. BELOW Ginger Rogers had another straight acting part in Vivacious Lady, and she and James Stewart ( shown here with her) delighted the customers with this comedy.
