THE FIRST LADY OF THE SCREEN RETURNS IN TRIUMPH TO THE THEATRE 01 FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT 2 P.M. / / w/\ , v When . . in conjunction with Metro -Gold wynMayer we shall be honoured to present NORMA with TYRONE POWER (Rocommendcd by Censor for Adults.) Transcending all other films in Spectacle, Magnificence, Romance and Drama — The real greatness of "Marie Antoinette" lies in its humanness. Here are no cold, historical mannequins giving dry imitations of past personages, but living, convincing embodiments of people who once were great and left their impression on the hearts of humanity. Endowed with grace and beauty, Miss Shearer is a living thrilling "Antoinette." You will see her as a spoiled royal darling, wearing a crown while still in her 'teens, and frustrated at the very beginning in her desire for love and happiness. Between her elevation to the throne and her end on the guillotine, Norma Shearer gives an overwhelming performance. Great characterisations are presented also by Tyrone Power, John Barrymore, Anita Louise, Robert Morley, Joseph Schildkraut — and the whole host of supporting artists. Over 3 years in the making, "Marie Antoinette" re-lives one of the most spectacular periods in all history. It has bigness in production, settings, costuming and cast. But above everything else it has real greatness in screen entertainment. "MARIE ANTOINETTE" is a breath-taking and lovely Film! V. CLOUSTON, Manager, Regent Theatre.
