Glenn Hunter’s role in “The Little Giant,” the Universal Jewel production which comes shortly to the Opera House, is an unusual one of a motion picture leading man. Instead of being the quintessence of honour, virtue and unfailing self-sacrifice, as is usual in the parts written for the heroes of the screen, the part Hunter plays in this latest Universal comedydrama runs the gamut from the lovable to the contemptible and all the way back, for the character is first pictured in childhood, as the “righthand man” of his foster uncle, an itinerant peddler, who purveys pots, pans, textiles, toys and patent medicines from a rickety cart to her highness, the American housewife. “Searamouche” the long heralded Rafael 1 Sabatini story of the French Revolution will commence shortly at the Opera House. Produced by Rex Ingram, the man who created' “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” it , is a magnificent story of the days of the French Revolution, that most disastrous period in the. history of the French Empire. Once again Rex Ingram has expressed himself as a master craftsman of production. The pomp of the court of King Louis XVI, the glory of the old gardens at Versailles, the sinister rumblings, which led up to the Revolution, the people in revolt —all have been depicted with the hand of a master. Raman Novarro, Lowis Stone and Alice Terry are cast in the leading roles and there is a cast of five thousand players in the revffutionaiv scenes.
