NEW OPERA HOUSE.

.' There has been much discussion over the film debut-of Noel Coward in the Ben Hecht-Charles Mac Arthur film "The Scoundrel," which is now in a return season, at the New Opera House. In it the film has taken a new turn, into something that scintillates with the epigrams that used to be considered out of date, and yet moves forward into the realm of fantasy. Working within the limits of their idea, the producers have done something that is immediately and highly successful. The dialogue, moreover, sparkles, the production, played at varying speeds, has a leisurely air at. the beginning that makes the later dramia ;all the more effective. The chief roles, played b> Noel Coward and Julie Haydon, are triumphantly done. Coward's acting is flawless, and it is a tribute to his sincerity that the.figure whom he portrays, though completely despicable, still holds the attention of the audience throughout the picture.
