WHO IS CYNTHIA? Walter Winchell said: "I fell in love with Cynthia." Louella Parsons said it and so did Hedda Hopper, and Jimmy Fidler said it on his nationwide broadcast. Everybody's saying it including Earl Wilson, Louis Sobol, Dorothy Kilgallen, Erskine Johnson, Sheilah Graham and many other nationally syndicated columnists whose names carry weight from Coast to Coast. You too will say: "I fell in love with Cynthia" and so will your patrons because "Cynthia" is the joy of living. She is sweet young womanhood experiencing the first kiss, the first romance, the first heart-ache. The trade press says: "Up front among season's hits." — Boxoffice "An unusual film for wide and popular appeal." — M. P. Herald "Blanket approval from family audiences. "Homey quality promises well for box-office Word of mouth build-up will be reflected returns." -Variety at box-office." —Showmen's Trade Review "Packs plenty of entertainment."— The Exhibitor That vast American audience which packed theatres in big cities and small towns for "The Green Years" will recognize that in "Cynthia" M-G-M has again made a wonderful motion picture of real people, their joys and their troubles and their dreams. It is the first starring role for beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, the "National Velvet" girl, and her portrayal of "Cynthia" is something to take to your heart. ★ M-G-M's "CYNTHIA" — ELIZABETH TAYLOR, George Murphy, S.
