Cleopatra
• •' • • How better could we start off telling about the month's new films than with Cecil B. DeMille's gorgeous spectacle, Cleopatra? The glamorous queen of ancient Egypt is brought to
life by Claudette Colbert in one of the Old Master's most lavish productions. The story is that of the royal vamp who uses her allure to enmesh the great Caesar and Marc Antony as a means toward conquering the Roman Empire. Claudette has never been more glorious than she is as Cleo, Warren William makes a superb Caesar and Henry Wilcoxon, fresh from England, proves his heralded ability in the role of Marc Antony. This triumvirate of great players is abetted by a vast supporting cast, costly production and intelligent direction. A picture no fan can afford to miss.
Barretts of Wimpole Street
• e e • xhe old love story of the poet Robert Browning and Elizabeth
Just a sample of the many beautiful girls in Dames, the new Warner musical featuring Dick Poivell and Ruby Keeler. Her name is Ruth Eddings. You'll find pictures of a number of other lovelies from the same film on page 24
Barrett, complicated as it was by the unnatural love of Elizabeth's father for his three daughters, of which she was the eldest, is delightfully retold in this splendid picture starring Fredric March as the poet, Norma Shearer as the invalid Elizabeth, who finds health as well as love in her romance, and Charles Laughton, the great English actor, who plays the father role. Laughton, especially, delivers a magnificent performance in a difficult part.
One More River
• • • • An almost completely English cast, headed by Diana Wynyard, Frank Lawton, Mrs. Pat Campbell, Colin Clive and Reginald Denny, give a great rendition of Galsworthy's fine story. Jane Wyatt is the only American. The story is an intensely human tale, highly dramatic and well presented.
Million Dollar Ransom
• • • • Another of those fine Damon Runyan yarns with Phillips Holmes as the young scion of wealth who hires Edward Arnold to kidnap him to prevent his mother's marriage to a gigilo. Mary Carlisle is the gangster's daughter with whom Holmes falls in love. There are plenty of exciting complications and the entire cast is excellent.
The World Moves On
• • • • A strong war drama that will certainly serve as anti-war propaganda. It is the story of an internationalized family split asunder one member against the other, by war. Franchot Tone and Madeleine Carroll, the English actress who leaped to fame with her role in I Was a Spy, head a distinguished cast.
The Old Fashioned Way
• • • A typical W. C. Fields comedy. The star gives the audience a great two hours of entertainment, although there's not much story — but since when has Bill Fields needed a story? Baby LeRoy and Judith Allen are in the cast.
