A BRITISH AND DOMINIONS Under New Management

PRODUCTION

Pictorial. loveliness is happily wedded to excellent drama "Carnival," a really fine British film spectacle, produced by Herbert

Wilcox.

Matheson Lang gives » grand performance as Silvia Steno, an Italian actor whose devotion to his foolish, young wife rly causes him to commit murder when provok- ed to a jealous rage, and Dorothy Bonchier is both lovely and ascom- plished as the vain wife.

The glittering spectacular element in "Carnival is very prominent but is made to serve a definite artistic purpose, and the subtlety of Herbert Wilcox's variations of treatment give pleasure to the eye. Definitely. Carnival," is one of the outstanding British film pro- ductions of the year. It opens bo morrow at the Central Theatre. It is the first of the new, British and Daminiras relonses, and on no ae- equnt should it be missed.
