CHARLES LAUGHTONSCORES IN DIFFICULT r“HUNCHBACK” ROLE
'«— k 1Probably the most diffi-
cult role essayed by a filmplayer is that of Quasimo-do, the . frightful hero of“The Hunchback of NotreDame,” currently depictedby Charles Laughton inRKO Radio’s moving, spec-tacular version of the Vic-tor Hugo classis coming tothe Yancey Theatre nextMonday and Tuesday.
As Quasimodo, the heroicbellringer of Notre Dame, >-
Laughton breathes life andpathos into the extremelydifficult part, evokingheart-tugging sympathy .
for the pitiable outcast. t>okspite the actor’s shockingmake-up, his superb artis-try makes the immortalQuasimodo human anddeeply appealing.
