MADAME BUTTERFLY
lADAME BUTTERFLY”. B. P. Schulberg's production of ihe Puccini opera, is one of the most beau + iful oictures I have ever seen on the screen. Mr. Schulberg has proved with his first independent production for Paramount, that it is possible to modernise a so-called old-fashioned favourite. And he does it without destroying or even mutilating the theme of the original.
Sylvia Sidney .oives a magnificent and beautiful performance as little Cno-Cho-San, the Japanese maiden who discovers to her sorrow the difference between the marriage customs of widely separated rountries and races. She invests the role with a beautiful sincerity that is certain to increase her screen popularity. The production is a special triumph for Miss Sidney.
Cary Grant is splendid, and successfully preserves sympathy for himself, even when he deserts his Japanese bride. The comedy is provided by Charlie Ruggles, who is grand.
Puccini's beautiful music runs right throughout the picture as a background with Cary Grant specially featuring the “Humming Song”. "Madame Butterfly” is box office. I expect big returns from this delightful screen masterpiece. Let's Co!
