PINELY staged _and admirably acted !s "A Woman of No Importance," and admirers of Oscar Wilde's dramai tic art should find it especially interesting. Plays adapted to the screen Invariably develop peculiar problems in treatment o f theme and character and there is always the fear that a drama written brilliantly will Appear, at a great disadvantage ..when reproduced silently, with only sub-titles to suggest the | sparkle of the original production. Yet "A Woman of No Importance" seems not to suffer in its transition to the screen. Fay Compton, blonde and stately, carries "off the difficult title role with an artistry that Is wholly convincing. Milton Rosmer as Lord Illingworth Is true to the traditional type of British nobleman. Ward McCallister, in the part of the illegitimate son, does very well indeed, and there is a suggestion of resemblance about him to the noble Lord that is _ altogether artful. _ ^
The surrounding^programme bristles .with entertaining _ numbers.
