IN the seventieth years of its life, " East Lynne " has been made into one of the most beautiful talking pictures of 1930.
Nothing has been spared to renew this famous tale, which holds the world's record of having a sale in novel form of 15,000,000 and of having been seen on the stage by more than 100,000,000 playgoers. The talking picture translation has been done not only in English, but also in Spanish, German, French and Italian, for "East Lynne " is still universal in its appeal.
The English version is a brilliant production.
Frank Lloyd, the director, is the gifted Scotsman who has risen to the first rank of film directors in Hollywood. He has a unique list of successes to his credit in silent and in talking pictures.

The cast is literally all-star.
