“ ‘Les Miserables’ is one of the finest, most conscientious and least artificial movies now to be found on Broadway. “It comes off with extraordinary beauty and credibility. It is recommended to all persons who go to pictures really to be entertained.” — Quinn Martin, N. Y. Morning World. “Unusually adept film that holds the interest. Offers far more entertainment value than most of the technically skillful films that emanate from Hollywood. Those who have read the book . . . and those who have not read the book will be held by the story.” — Mark Barron, New York Herald-Tribune. “It is refreshing to view ‘Les Miserables’ after sitting through some of the feeble attempts that come and go in the Broadway cinemas . . . produced with remarkable sincerity.” — John S. Cohen, Jr., New York Sun. “ ‘Les Miserables’ is meritorious and worth seeing. Everyone who has read the story will want to see the picture and will be gratified.” — Mordaunt Hall, New York Times. that’s Universale Broadway Sensation * 4 ‘ Les Miserables”
