am ready to classify it as one Of
the ten best performances of the
last five years. You are always
sympathetic with this girl, who is
always getting in bad with her hus-
band because she was humanity
friendly with a broke composer,
played by Fredric March with SO
much dash that the role actually
sparkles while he is making love
to Nancy.
There are many smart situations
in this movie, especially when
Nancy and March seek refuge in
a cottage during a storm. Here
they play bear, make tea in the
strange house and get pinched. But
when the police learn that she is
the wife of the powerful Wall street
broker, all is forgiven and police
escort is given to her and March to
her home.
The dialogue is as smart as the
situations and that is something
which is mighty rare on the talk

picture that actually glitters about

hope you will agree with me that
this is Arliss' greatest movie be-
cause here we have the strangest
death scene that the screen or the
stage has reflected in years.
Arliss is right in bringing his
stage successes to the talking
screen. Those characters are mel
low and wonderful in his hands now
at this time of his life.
"Old English" makes Arliss with
out any fear of contradiction the
greatest dramatic artist before the
public today.
Even when the old fox is trying
to outthink and outwit his enemies
and even his friends, he does it with
such a sly and such q forgiving
manner that you must respect the
old rascal.

hard enough to tap dance, without
doing it on roller skates" Well,
I agree with her that they are very
