CoLuMBIA-"The Crowd"

The Crowd" King Vidor's latest
opus. this weeks feature at Loves CO.
mmbiS Theater, exposes a croSS-Sectihn
view of the marital life Of two wholly
commonplace people. The subject. 1t
may seem to some is hardly worthy of
the excellent realistic treatment it has
been given.

rector has hitherto dared. No sooner

contact with "the crowd" and to prove
how really crowded New York is, Di-
rector Vidor resorts TO trick photog-
raphy thrown upon the screen rapidly

the spectators dizzy with the magni-
