—To-morrow: Miriam Hopkins in

Men Are Not Gods"—

Miriam Hopkins is the bright particular reason whv Vou should sec Ihe picture 'Men Are Not Gods." an Alexander Korda production which begins tomorrow. In ii splendidly directed, sparkling picture ol the standard film-goers have twine to expect from London Films Miss Hopkins gives a most remarkably real-life performance as a secretary to a famous Loudon dramatic critic. She tits so naturally into the role that the rest, of the production, brilliant, though it is. is always subservient lo the star. Comedy and drama conic :dl alike lo her. and she'.handles the many humourous moments with her would-be sweetheart in a way which suggests that she was really a little secretary who found life a huge joke. Altogether it is a tiuely contrasted portrayal.
