PEEPS AT THE PICTURES

»<Q caramouche," the great Sabatini "-^ story is at last to be released m New Zealand. It will be screened m Wellington this month, and is booked for an extended season m the leading theatres. • Perhaps no author of recent years has been read with such avidity as Rafael Sabatini, and the same applies to the scheen. adaptions of his works. "Scaramouche" is perhaps however, the best-known and most popular of his novels and the picture is certainly the greatest romance of the French Revolution that has come to the screen. .■ • # # '"The Vanishing ftace" was written » by Zane Grey, as an intended climax to his career. -Every great author believes that he should, leave behind him something outstanding, by. which he hopes to be remembered best. "The Vanishing Race" has been brought to the screen by Paramount, with Richard Dix m the leading role, that of the ceritral Indian figure m the picture. # ~ * # . DashftiJness that bubbles over with '*-* laughter has arrived, m the Do.minion m Harold Lloyd's latest Master Picture comedy, "Girl Shy." Lloyd v has hitherto given to the screen many humorous novelties m his varied chara6terisations, but m "Girl Shy," he promises to outdo his previous laugh efforts with his; portrayal of- a. very bashful small-town boy, who nfe.de a secret study of girls, and- the more he studied, them, the more he feared them. It is a really novel role, and should be full of fun, because Lloyd has by this, time achieved a reputation for never disappointing his many followers.
