A Thought for Today

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the househops.-St Luke 12:3
 If there is any person to whom you feel dis- like, that is the person of whom you ought never to speak-Cecil.

painting. Of course, she is accused
by gossiperS of being in love with
him. When Erik confesseS his love
for her, and is killed accidentally
while drunk, gossip becomes so
malicious she can remain in Will

Failure of the city's "best families"
to concern themselves with the ill

her love for ziggy, even after their

MIR. Powell'S delineation of the
leading role was done excellently.
His mannerismS and eccentricities
were pres ente d artistically. Few

Miss 10y made a perfect Billie

approved of Miss Logs characteri-
cation is praise enough.
Frank Morgan Is Hit
Frank Morgan as Billings put
another gem in this top-notch
comedians crown. But one can
not judge stars in this picture as
one might judge them in the usual
movie. 1t is something much high
er than the mere celluloid story
telling and part-portraying the
screen heretofore has attempted.

ira steps on the staircase in the

Lands Entire Cast
Rhodes" is not entirely Mr.. Hus-
tons picture. The work of Oscar
Homolka as Kruger will probably
stand out as one of the best char
acterizations of the season. Surpris-
ingly good is Ndansia Kumalo, of
Matabeleland, who plays the part
of King Lobengula of that coun-
try. The old king really goes
through some fine emoting.
Although the film, a British pro-
duction, drags at times the fault
probably can be laid to the differ
ence in the British and American
psychology in telling story. Like
wise, Anna Carpenter (played by
Peggy AshcrofN, the nearest thing
to a heroine that Rhodes" con-
tains, is not what the American
public demands as a heroine.
But as an epic film, telling a
great story about great man, one
can hardly imagine a nobler pro-
duction than the Gaumont- British
Co. has filmed.

The Circle offers, as an additional
treat on this weeks program, a
delightful spy story, IT'LL We Meet

closed and he was sent to bed, sick.
Billie went back to work. One eve

also wiped out in the crash, ziggy
died-a white gardenia dropping
from his hand, symbolical of the
love of beauty he held so close to
his heart, the display of beauty he
had so completely mastered.
THE Great ziegfeld" was not
alone fine biography of the show
mans life. 1t has captured the
mood, the atmosphere which sur
rounded Ziegfeld's life. Much less
than routine movies was it limited
by the confines of the screen. It
seemed to speak, sing and play it's
way into ones heart.
To list the many production num-
bers is needless. All have been done
superbly. Most lavish was the finale
of the first act, "A Lovely Girl Is

can be appreciated by being seen.
