"111 llnnil Bette Davis, Gary Merrill, Anne Baxter, George Sanders in one of the dramatic moments in the 20th CenturyFox film, "All About Eve." Below: Thelma Ritter, Bette's faithful maid, stands by her as Bette, refusing to face facts, tries to drown her sorrows with martinis. Anne Baxter's career is launched when, with the aid of George Sanders, a critic, she becomes Bette's understudy. INDIVIDUALLY, Bette Davis, Anne Baxter and Celeste Holm already have won many plaudits for superb performances. So, when they're starred in a film together a challenge has to be met. And how they meet it! Three distinct performances, each brilliantly done in a stirring photo finish for the acting honors. Bette, of course, is the dynamic one; Anne, the quiet but determined type, Celeste the gal who's a little of each. The story centers around Bette, a famous actress whose career is mostly behind her. How Anne, a devoted fan, worms her way into Bette's affections and finally into her place in the theatre will hold you spellbound until film's end. To further career, Anne seeks help from Celeste Holm, whose playwright husband she doesn't mind stealing. 50 il
