BODY AND SOUL.".
Elissa Landi, the new star in tho screen firmament, makes her debut to local audiences in the magnificent picture Body and Soul," now showing in the King's Theatro. Mias Landi is a component picture of Ruth Chatterton and Marlene Dietrich. She possesses all the dramatie fire and expression of the former with the blonde beauty and vitality of the latter. The mix- turo, though startling, is intansely dramatic and goos to make Mian Landi one of the most striking personalitics, over reprojjuced on the talking woreen. Her speaking voice is perfect, it is vibrant like Chatterton's, with the timbre of Dietrich's, but without the slight nocent..
The vehicle which. Fox Movietone have chosen to demonstrato· Miss Landi's' grent artistic and dramatic talent is a fitting one for so grent an artist. Body and Soul is a war drama, a thrilling, and realistic story of espionage and the Air Force, in which she plays opposita that deservedly popular young netor, Charles 'Farrell, whose wúle as a young airman is one of the most powerful of his career.
