POPULAR ROMANCE.’
Marian Marsh Starred in “A Girl of the Limberlost.” “A Girl of the Limberlost,” the talking screen version of Gene StrattonPorter’s delightful story, is now in the second week of its popular run at the Avon Theatre. The picre i R a worthy successor to the novel. Often film adaptations ot well-known books, while -excellent entertainments in themselves, fail 10 catch the spirit of the from which they are taken. This is not so with “A Girl of the Limberlost.” The characters have materialised from the printed page and the background of jural hfe in the lovely State of Indiana has been recaptured with all 2 s appeal. All the attention to oetail and technical skill lavished on the settings would, however, be f httle avail without a cast worthy °; Here, too, the picture is outstanding. Marian Marsh, blonde and pretty’-, plays the title role with a sincerity that will delight lovers of the book. 1 programme of supports includes ” Show Rids,” a brilliant musi- | ca l comedy in colour.
