‘THE DIVINE WOMAN'
LIFE OF SARAH BERNHARDT 'Clio artistic resources of tlie three greatest Swedish porsoniiiitics in motion pictures were combined in the production of ‘The Divine Woman,’ the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mnyer picture based on the Hfo of Sarah Bernhardt that comes to the Octagon Theatre on Friday, These are Greta Garbo, the brilliant dramatic star, who plays the title role, Lars Hanson, who appears opposite her as her leading man, and Victor Soastrom, who directed. Curiously enough, the trio came from the same city in Sweden, Stockholm, and all have had a meteoric career in motion pictures, rising from apparent obscurity to the very pinnacle of success in a remarkably short time.
In this film tho great emotional star appears in the role of an actress, who had tho world at her fact, but lost her only love. ‘The Divine Woman’ should prove one of tho most dramatic pictures seen here for some time.
