Seldom does picture create such

Merry Widow the Metro oIdwyn-
Mayer production. which will be shown
TOT the last times today. But 1t was
inevitable with such a significant COM
pination of story, director and cast.
Inc title suggests picturesque romance
and In the hands of the gifted director,
Erich Won Stroheim ideally suited to
stage such a thing, the production has
exceeded the fondest expectations held
for 1t. The title role, in which Miss
Murray is featured, furnishes this
plquant actress with the best role of
her career, and that she gives THE
Merry Widow" the charm and viyacity
1t needs goes without saying. John
Gilbert, one of the most popular men
on the screen today invests the part of
Prince Danilo" with a brilliance and
Dash which has come to be associated
with this actor. Other members of the
cast including Roy Darcy. a new Won

famous Crown Prince, Tully Marshall,
George Fawcett, Josephine Crowell
and Dale Fuller acquit themselves no.
bly, in their respective roles.
THE Merry Widow" was filmed at

The picture is based on the interna-
tional famous stage play of the same

at the Maine Experiment Station at
