PRINCESS THEATRE

TO-MORROW - WEDNESDAY “ THE VIRGINIAN ” (Special), with Gary Cooper, Walter Hurton, Richard Arlin & Mary Bryan The greatest all talking picture ever screened in the Princess Theatre. Wednesday’s audience to the Theatre will have the opportunity to learn whether preview critics were correct when they said that Paramount’s “ The Virginian ” is the “Covered Wagon’’ ot all-ta'king pic'ures. The film based on the novel by the same name, which brought Owen Wister quick fme in the Bo’e, enjoys the distinction of being the first alloutdoors plan to be recorded on the audible films. Three hundred cattle swim across a swiftly flowing river ior a scene of Paramount’s all’ talking picture “The Virginian’’ The “ Virginian’’ is just the type of picture for which all-talking is most admirably suited. A classic of the pioneering days, this epic theme of red-blooded drama and beautiful romance is so stupendous, so fast" in its great outdoors scope, that all-talking alone can do it full justice. A cattle round up in which i.oco steers were used was filmed in full sound for “The Virginian,"’ the great ioo per cent talking special.
