Grace Moore comes to the Earle

ever"
The radiant star of zone Night
of Love" returns in a vehicle said
to Surpass even that unforgettable
production, which has been seen
by more persons than any other
pictrue of the last decade. The
new picture has a more powerful
story, a larger cast, a grea..cr num-
Der of beautiful sets and a more
varied background, but beyond all
these things it has the glorious
voice of Grace Moore.
Victor Schertzinger directed
Love Me Forever" and composed
it's title song, just as he did for
Zone Night of Love-" Leo Garlic,
star of many films, has the chief
supporting role, while others in
the cast include Michael Bartlett,
Spring Byington, Robert Allon and
Luis A,berni.
Nearly two whole acts of LA

of other musical numbers from
Jingle Bells" 1.-The Bells of st.

big scene to put over" the ordi-
nary film.
Within this palace the story
reaches it's climax when She, who
knew no age, tried to win a mans
love from a mortal girl and failed.
And was it because, as the girl
herself said, that she was human
while She was not?
In spite of the colossal set
tings and weird background in
which the story is enacted you
will find it intensely moving.
"She" is not merely a film Of
spectacle. 1t tells a human and
appealing story. A story that
stripped of it's unusual setting
would still hold you spellbound-
a story of an agelesS woman who
waited for love and a maid that
fought for it as her right.
Nor does magnificence Of set
tings outrank the fine acting
that went into this splendid pro-
duction.

Fantastic Story
The tempo of the story Is but
one of it's touches of genius. Start
ing in a comparatively minor key,
it builds through adventure,
through. catastrophe and through
awesome spectacle to it's final ter
rifle climax.
The producers of the film have
set a new high mark in spectac-
ular settings. First there are the
frozen and snow-swept plains of
Muscovy. There is the tremendous
avalanche at the glacier camp.
The tremendous underground
caves in which the savages lived.
There is the shining palace of She,
carved of a marble mountain.
Within the palace there are halls
of interminable length, rooms of
unbelievable size and magnifi-
cence. There is an outer balcony
of polished stone which drops
sheer into a tremendous valley.

If Mr.. Whitney wants an honest
answer I'd say mo" With, of
course, some reservations. There
would be an audience for Hamlet
and Shakespeare's plays generally
but it will be a select group of stu
dents and literary-minded people.
In other words Hamlet on the
screen would have limited appeal.
If well done it would be what the
industry calls a prestige picture, !"
that is one that reflected credit
on Hollywood but a feature that
would lack mass appeal, as the
movie exhibitor knows it.
Mr.. Whitney wants an opinion
on who should play the part of
Hamlet. I should say Fredric
