Fo :^T FolrS^ “Gaby,” Alluring and Colorful, Romantic and So Daring, Meets All Demands for the Sensational rpHEY will all ■* want to play “Gaby,” because the merest show sense will tell any exhibitor that all the fans in his community will want to see it. This is one of those rare pictures the public goes to the trouble of “shopping” to find. Being so decidedly daring, ‘Gaby’ will prove most a 1 1 u r i ng to all classes of devotees to the cinema. Itis the story of a gay Parisian dancer who was hired to make love to the unkissed son of a King of a mythical country. It is an exceedingly romantic narrative suggested by the extraordinary life of the late Gaby Deslys for whom a wellknown monarch sacrificed much, according to the history of the case. The combination of George O’Brien and Virginia Valli head the cast, and, a more brilliant duo of screen roman cers is seldom seen. They reach true histrionic heights such as generate the kind of i)ower which holds whole audiences spellbound. Sup])orting Mr. O’Brien and Miss Valli are such favorites as J. Farrell MacDonald, William Powell, Thomas Jefferson, Merta Sterling and Hank Mann. “Gaby” was directed by Howard Hawks, who made his mark with “Fig Leaves,” which has been received with loud acclaim by both exhibitor and patron from the day of its release. And, you can depend on ‘'Gaby” developing quickly into a better boxoffice attraction than even this aforesaid winner. Although intense romance predominates throughout this latest Hawks production, there is plenty of comedy such as gives it that balance which spells success. Page Eleven
