HALLELUJAH (1929) 219 The letter, based on the Somerset Maugham story, was first filmed in 1929 with the stage star, Jeanne Eagels, in the lead. Jean Limur directed it for Paramount. In the shot above are Miss Eagels and Herbert Marshall. In the remake Marshall re-enacted his part, this time opposite Bette Davis. BELOW One of the finest pictures of the year— still one of the best pictures ever made— was Hallelujah, directed with masterly sensitivity and sympathy by King Vidor, for M-G-M. This story of the community soul of the Negro included this famous revival scene.
