"ESCAPE ME NEVER."

Coming to Plaza Theatre.

The outstanding actress Elizabeth Bergner has the leading role in "Escape Me Never," which is to be released at the Plaza Theatre this week, and which has been made from, the play-by Margaret _Kennedy. In this film, which is produced mainly in Switzerland and with a competent supporting cast including Irene Vanbrugh, Miss Bergner has the opportunity to create on the screen, that little gamin which was portrayed so successfully in The Constant Nymph," and which has been even more brilliantly drawn in the later work. The action, attitudes, and inflexions of the. little star as she goes through the suffering and joy which make the film are not likely to be forgotten. It is a moving piece of work with the German actress portraying every, variety of feeling and with her flexible technique never -seen to greater advantage than when she is revealing the light-heartedness of Gemma in the Dolomites during the quest for a girl who has flown or the tragedy, of Gemma towards the end jniler baby has died-• The direction and photography of the film are excellent and the supporting- cast has the ?A?Ull£T rinß the abm* o£ Though the story has a continuous continental flavour in theme it.is simple as a folk song, and very like one. it nas-a meaning hidden away for those who want it, and a charm for those who prefer it.
