GREAT STORIES BY GREAT WRITERS MAKE GREAT PICTURES. * * HERE ARB REPRINTS OF OPINIONS BY AUCKLAND'S PRESS CRITICS FOLLOWING A PREVIEW SCREENING. "Human passions—love, pity, hate, fear— at few times have been portrayed on the motion picture screen with such intense realism as they are in 'Crime and Punishment,' which held a representative preview audience almost spellbound at the Majestic Theatre this morning. It is 5 strange story, powerful nnd appealing in its very strangeness. It is Fyodor Dostoievsky's famous drama, brought into film form in a rare and superb manner." —"Auckland Star'' Review. "From one masterpiece, Dostoievsky s 'Crime and Punishment,' Columbia Pictures have created another, a lilm of the same name. The picture, which was shown at a private screening at the Majestic Theatre yesterday, is remarkable for its intense drama, its tine acting and its superb photography. In that it has little of brutality or ruthiessness, 'Crime and Punishment' belies its name, for it is rather a tale of great love and of human emotions. And it gives great scope for the ability of its leading players. —"N.Z. Herald" Review. Recommended by Censor for Adults. (T) j ~ GRE YL YNN J CINEMA. VL/ To"-night, 7.45. I'hone -t5-10i3.
