 The New York Daily Mirror. says. "Tha violently temperamental voN Strohoim is back at the acting joh and what bowling success he makes of if in The Great Gbbo.' His performance is d Jannings. At several points in the story the first night audience broke out ill cnthu- slastic applause. Mr. ,C"uZc has given us q unique story, with a graceful, finished and intcIugen. dir"ction.' After you have wit messed the showing you will heartily agree with the Daily Mirror.
 While James Cruzc's first talking picture. The Great Gabbo." Is often exploited by exhibitors as a singing and dancing spectacle, thaj is not this remarkable production's $ principal attraction as a stellar vehicle for Erich Non Strohoiu. the star.
 True. "The Great GaJbo" is & massive mcIange of original dances and tunefuI melodies. produced at enormous expense. But The Great Gabbo." is primarily q drama with all that this sometimes abused term implies. Before a vivid, exotic anI HOIEtou9 bdtkStOuhu.
