The marriage is a loveless one, .hut. Naomi finds eolace .in the budding loveliness of her Brook,.'also, represented by ButhiChattertgn, Ttfe pbignant sorrow following - her-" lover's death, the feelings-of repulsion aroused by 1. the treatment eho receives from-a harsh, unsympathetic father, the sadness of her life i with her sombre, humourless husband, her 1 loving concern for her daughter, and her 1 desire that her experiences should be happier [ than her own, are all finely and convincingly expressed. Her daughter's characteristics, differing shaiply in many respects, from her toother's,-are ao vividly portrayed that it is difficult at times to believe that the, eamo .-actress is representing two parts."'" How i Naomi's daughter realises her right to love, and fulfils, her mother's aspirations, is unfolded in a etory that, .never fails to grip and, hold the attention. ' The subsidiary | characters are all in capable hands, the [ part of Naomi's and 'of Brook'a lovers being -finely presented by Paul Lukas. There -are many picturesque settings, which, are very beautifully reproduced. The new sound process used in the production of "The Right [ To Love" is highly successful in the, suppression of extraneous noise, and the. voices of the players aro reproduced with / great clearness and pleasingly and naturally. The shorts include the Paths Movietone Gazette, which, amongst other happenings, records tlj£ final Test matuh between 'England and-; Australia. This proved of exceptional interest, in view of-tne New Zealand cricket team's present tour. In "Strange . Asrlt .Seems" a,number of -extraordinary charnciers and incidents, were pictured, snch-a* Borak, a curious, midget bull; thq feats t of a strong athlete,: who Supports r on nia rkneeß and cheat an upright .pianO: on which ..thore are seated three persons, and the-doings, of a- young man whosa dolight ;s to drop from aeroplanes, without on to hay* stacks.
