A massive spectacle entitled ''The Dumb

celebrity who has SO far been enticed
from the speaking stage who is in a
class with Anna Pavlowa. None of the
famous singers. such as Geraldine Far
rar. can bring to the screen all of their
gifts, such as gave them fame. The
voice of the diva cannot be heard in
motion picture theater, but in the case
of Anna Pavlowa she not only brings
all of her consummate artistry to the
screen, but. she reveals herself as the
greatest living dancer, as the greatest
living exponent of pantomime, and as
the greatest actress as well. Those who
have idolized Pavlowa at the Metropol-
itan Opera House. and who paid 80
seat for the privilege. will see far
greater Pavlowa when they witness her
triumph in the screen spectacle based
on Auber's "Masaniello.'
