‘PRIDE AND PREJUDICE ’
JANE AUSTEN CLASSIC With no more of a plot than Jane Austen liorself provided, Hunt Stromberg and his associates have told a simple but .continuously captivating story of the five Bemict sisters, of their frankly scheming mother, their wisely unmcddlcsomo father, of Darcy and Bingley, and tho treacherous Wickham, ‘ Pride and Prejudice,’ which opens at the Regent to-morrow, has been accomplished through a steady flow of superlative wjt which puts a snapper on almost every scene. ’lt is not often that a cast of such uniform perfection is assembled. Greer Carson is Elizabeth. Laurence Olivier is Darcy, the arrogant, sardonic Darcy, whose pride went before a most felicitous fall. Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, Maureen O’Sullivan, and indeed, all the big cast, do handsomely in iheir respective roles.
