Somerset Vaughan
 Picture al Garden

"Short thereof is mans life; ana narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he 'dwells," says Somerset Vaughan in his novel. "The Mar, row Corner" Warner Brothers picture of the same title, which opened this afternoon for a two day showing at the New Garden theater, is fashioned from this theme. It is a strange tale, this, full of the color of strange places land strange people = and yet at bottom, as are all the characters of a Somerset Vaughan story, these people are vibrant with the same lie we all live. The sur prise of the picture. however, Is the work of youthful Patricia Ellis in the role of the girl, Louise. A comparative newcomer to the screen, her. acting is flawless. Her talent, beauty and charm should take her far in screen work. AL fred E. Green, who directed from a screen play by Robert Presnell, has done splendid job, for he keeps the story going at Q never tagging pace. No one who cares for strange romances in pictur- esque settings, or for mad and thrilling adventure, should miss 'The Narrow Corner".

TATHAr is there about this w strange and silent woman that will send sixty million people throughout the civilized world to the picture shows to see her act? What is there that will start sixty million discussions whenever she acts?
 We begin to understand for the first time, when we read the true story of Greta Garbo and the true love story that has been woven through her life, the decisions she has been forced to make. And then we understand what all the argument is about.
 We begin to see how the ex- perience of this woman parallels the experience ofmillions ofother women throughout the world. We begin to see that the decision she made is the decision that mill lions of others have to make.
