PRESS,"

Those who saw "Gentlemen of the Press at its opening perform- ance at the Central Theatre last might will talk about it for days.

Newspaper life as it is lived is the theme of this drama. Walteri Huston, the star, handles the diff cult part of a veteran tewspaper- man, torn between the fascination of his work and his family ties, with admirable fullness. A splen díu cast carries variety of human characterizations with stirring effect. There are laughs rippling through the story and pathos at moments and all the time there is the sense of living which only great art in writing, directing and acting could bring to the screen.?

Charles Ruggles, the well-known. stage comedian, translates, a minor part into an outstanding role. He is naturally funny and yet pathetic- ally weak. Everyone laughs at him; everyone pities him and every one understands him. His charac terization is an evening's entertain. ment all by itself. Betty Lawford does some wonderful work as the daughter and Katharine Francis, another Broadway favourite, is charming and competent.

Taken all-together, "Gentlemen of the Press" is truly great enter tainment; it reveals the real pos sibilities of the screen." It is a picture that everyone who wants to see the finest and best in moving pictures with dialogue should see.
