The. quaint and picturesque play OF
"Gretna Green" possesses all the varying
elements essential to the successful screen
drama-love, sacrife, humor mystery and
tk1lll-and is laid in the charming period
of the early 10Th century, when daring
Opponents to Gretna Green. a lovers
haven in the north of Scotland, added a
dash of excitement to many true love
matches, when hearts reigned over the
marts of commerce. just before the prose
OF business usurped the poetry of ro-
nance.
Miss Clark's winsome personality. her
piquant beauty and elfin grace assist her
in making the role of Dolly one of her
greatest character creations. The ro-
nance and humor of "Gretna Green
have thrilled and amused countless audi
ences as a play. and the screen version
of this noted subject, with the amplifi-
cation Of the plot and the authentic re-
production of the famous Green. made
possible only through the film production,
enhance the general interest and appeal
to the story. while the striking and unique
costumes Of the period contribute to the
total charm Of the picture.
