"The Rains
Came" Opens At The King's Today
The power of one of today's great novels ands its full scope on the screen in Darryl F. Za- nuck's production of "The Rains Came," the sensationally SUC- cessful best-seller by Louis Brom- field, which opens today at the King's Theatre, with Myrna Loy, Tyrone Power and George" Brent sharing stellar honours.
These fascinating strangely→ assorted humans, cut off from the world in the colourful my:hi- cal city of Ranchipur, India, with all restraint swept away, as the angry forces of nature made life a fading hope and love a des- perate. longing, are brought vividly to life in this 20th Cen-. tury-Fox film. Faithful in mood and detail to the book, ""The Raing Came" preserves all of Bromfield's characters,
Myrna Loy breaks with the "perfect wife" tradition to play the amorcus Lady Edwing Esketh; Tyrone Power has his
most romantic role as the high- "caste Hindu surgeon; Major Rama Saft! who proves the one great love of Lady Esketh's life; and George Brent is seen as the worldly Tom Ransome, a ghost ons of the lady's romance-strewn- -past,
