will want to see
Shakespeare's immor-
- lsze@ tai Romeo and Juli-
ct" which will be shown in Will
mington next week on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, after
: noon and evening. The picture
will only reach key cities for the
3 present, and general distribution
o. will not occur for several
months. Those who have already
witnessed the performance of
Norma Shearer and Leslie How
: ard are loud in their praise of
the picture as a whole. Vary
ing reports are to the effect that
Miss Shearer will not again ap-
pear on the screen. while others
say that so talented an actress
must not be lost to the modern
art. A story of Leslie Howard
has il that he will be glad to re-
turn to long pants" after so
many period characterizations.
No matter what the story, these
two, who represent the "cream
of Hollywood" will be acclaimed
by all for much that is fine in
diction and action.
