GUILDS OPENING
PICTURE Is A
MARVEL

The public interest aroused in
the promise of the Motion Pic
ture Guild that the. pictures and
programs at its new Little Thea
ter will be distinctive, artistic,
and entirely different from any
other movie theaters, has brought
up a question What is the Guild
going to show to keep this
promise?
In answering, the Guild takes
great pleasure in announcing that
its opening attraction will be the
moving picture that Douglas Fair
banks, Emil Jannings, Fannie
Hurst, Max Reinhardt and many
other have pronounced the great
est ever made. 1t is the Ar
mored Cruiser Prince Potemkin.
'Potemkin" is the film that
aroused more discussion than any
thing since THE Cabinet Of DR..
Caligari" when shown at 500 in
New York city; the film that the
National Board of Review selected
as the perfect cinematic crea-
ton OF an event" the film that
marks the motion picture as art;
the film whose grim and uncoIl-
prising realism caused 1t to be
cut before being shown in Man
haitian; the film OF which Max
Reinhardt, the greatest living
theater technician, said: after
seeing sPotemkin' I am willing to
admit that the stage will have
to give way to the cinema"
