VANITY FAIR
ON SCREEN IS
LIKE ORIGINAL
Goldwyn Production Sticks to
Dickens Famous Story,
1t Is Reported.

Tho new screen version of Vanity
Fair" produced by Hugo Ballin for
Goldwyn release, with Mabel Ballin
starred in the role of Becky Sharp.
marks a milestone in the faithful
translation to the screen OF a great
novelist's story. Mr.. BALM mad h
screen script himself and at all timN
kept close to the original story. He
felt that as Vanity Fair is n of
, the glories not alone of English. but
OF world. literature hat It should be
old on the screen as nearly as pos
sible like the story narrated in the
novel. So that when VANITY Fair
4. shown at the America theatre next
Tuesday, for a three day showing,
the public may rest satisfied tat it
is going TO see Thackeray's master
piece as he told It aiI not a garbled
version with stunts and spectacles
to interpolate.
This does not mean that Mr..
Ballin's production of Vanity Fair"
is not a big production; for it has
physical bigness as well as artistic
greatness. The big ball scene in
Brussels on the eve of the battle OF
NultIlOO 40 Oht VI AAp ICE SNAAt
of Its kind ever translated to the

charming screen star who has risen
rapidly to a dominating position In
tho film world, plays the role Of
Becky. In nothing that she has ever
done in pictures has she been so
completely mistress of the art OF act
ing. Her Becky Sharp ivesN"might
have stepped out OF the pages Of the
book" as the phrase is. She gives
a brilliant performance which will
give her new rank in her profession.
Goldwyn put all of its studio and
technical at the command
Of Mr.. Ballin so that his Vanity
Fair" is In every respect a nne and
worthy production, which ranks right
along with h other big productions
made by Goldwyn-"The Christian. "
THE Strangers Banquet" and Tess
OF the D'Urbervflies." The costumes
are historically correct and are a
most attractive feature Of the pic
torial ensemble. Several magnificent
sets were built under the direction of
Cedric Gibbons. Go.dwyn's art direc-
tor. The %photoplay has a distinctive
pictorial effect due to the composition
and lighting arrangements. Mr..
Ballin was a painter Of prominence
before becoming a film director and
Nhe brings to his new calling all the
training and experience OF his paint
ing days-a distinct advantage. for
the films share some Of the attributes
