THE CIVIC THEATRE “FORSAKING ALL OTHERS” “Forsaking All Others,” the most star-studded film since “Dinner ac Eight,” will be screened at the Civic 'theatre to-night (Monday). With a cast as largo and magnificent as the last year hit, the new picture is revolutionary in several respects. In t-he first place the cast is headed by three cutstanding stars, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery

who, while they have played in teams, have never before appeared together. Perfectly cast, they comprise what could be called the ace triangle of the year, Secondly, the new picture has a verve and pace not the slightest bit weighted or slowed down by the enormity of its cast. This is due to the brilliant direction of W. 8. Van Dyke, who with this picture excels even his smash hit, “The Thin Alan” ana the excellent individual performances ol each player. As a light comedienne, Joan Crawford reveals a new side to her many admirers. She is par excellence as Alary, Parkavenue ite who is left standing a,t the altar one minute and is pursued by two of New York’s most flushing males the next. GENERAL NEWS. Mr. A.
