The Conspirators (Warner Bros.) (1944)

5-COLUMN HENREID NEWSPAPER FEATURE: @ qt takes Hollywood to recognize a man’s hidden propensities—even when it comes to that elusive appeal peculiar to a romantic screen lover. One of the best examples of a fine actor who, but for Hollywood’s intervention, might never have attained his present prominence as one of filmdom’s top lovers is Paul Henreid, currently making expert film love to beautiful Hedy Lamarr in Warners’ dramatic hit, “The Conspirators.” For years Henreid played only villains or aging men. Leaving his native Viennese stage in the early Thirties to begin an English-speaking career in the London theatre and films, the actor soon learned that his reputation for villainy and old age had preceded him. Once more he was plunged into uniform, behind mustaches and under consistently complicated make-up and props. Generally acknowledged to be handsome, Henreid’s willingness to submerge his good looks is amply illustrated in the accompanying photographs which were taken at various stages in his career—long before Hollywood ordered him to shave his mustache, shake the years from his stalwart shoulders and emerge as the great screen lover. As the despicable Gestapo agent in the British film, “Night Train,” in 1939, Henreid (shown here with Margaret Lockwood), As the elderly Prinz Luis of Battenberg in the London stage production of “The Jersey In the Viennese film, “Hohe Schule,” As the Austrian professor in “Good the par of an Ausra alien DUS ME Chips the ator played one teached the peak of his acocnvilsny.
