Magnificent Picture To Have Extended Season
NORMA SHEARER SUPERB IN •BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE STREET’-
(Regent: Screening To-day.) Superbly acted, “The Barretts of Wimpole Street," which is having ' an extended season, comes to the screen as powerful, absorbing drama, off the heaten track of picture entertainment, and having both tho requirements of fine artistry and the earmarks of a smashing commercial success. It has the basic, emotional elements which usually spell mass appeal, and at tho same time makes special bid for discriminating patronage. Norma Shearer as Elizabeth Barrett, Charles Laughton as the monstrously tyrannical father, Fredric March as Robert Browning, and Maureen O’Sullivan, another of the Barrett sisters, magnificently lead the cast. This group of performers, with Una O’Connor in the same rank, and others not far behind in their lesser roles, will unquestionably get high critical praise.
