Subject: Universal’s “LES MISERABLES”
Mighty Successor to “Hunchback of Notre Dame”
“Les Miserables” is Universal’s mighty successor to “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” It is a painstakingly faithful reproduction of Victor Hugo’s great novel, in its atmosphere of pity and contrition as well as in detail of its scenes and characters. It is to be doubted indeed whether any film has ever reproduced so purely the essence of a book as this picture does for Hugo’s novel. The gentle, austere way in which the story is unfolded, without losing one bit of its poignancy, effects one as nothing else would except reading of the novel itself. The film is original in that it makes a definite break from the sensational effects from the average “super” production and the fact that it sticks so closely to the story and comes out as a great picture, with a new technique. The acting is of a kind that is seen once in a decade . . . nothing short of marvelous.
Wherever “Les Miserables” has played, it has been shown to large audiences. It was an outstanding success in New York, Chicago,
San Francisco and it is now in its second week in Los Angeles with every indication of its going further. The picture pleases ; everyone talks about it ; everyone is impressed and it is worthy of every effort that you can put behind it.
