CIVIC THEATRE.
The unbounded success of "Shanghai Express" at the Civic, enough to warrant the carrying on of the film into a second week at a theatre tl at has not taken that course with a picture for a very long period, is attributable, it may be supposed, chiefly to the charm of Marlene Dietrich. This exotic actress built up a firm following with "Morocco" (with Gary Cooper) and "Dishonoured" (Victor McLaglen), and now she comes to us opposite Give Brook, Warner Oland, and Anna May Wong—all noted players of Oriental roles—in a picture that deals with the fascination, mystery, and romance of the East in a manner that has probably never been introduced before. It deals with one of the most appealing of things—a train. It deals with loyc, with intrigues, with wars, and with adventure—with everything an audience appreciates.
