BROWN SCORES IN VIVID

PLAY.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1930.

Clarence Brown, the director who made Flesh and the Devil", "one of the triumphs of the decade, | scores again with another drama from the pen of the same author, Hermann Sudermann, in “Wonder of Women", his new Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer drama now play- ing at the Queen's Theatre, with sound synchronization and dialogue sequences.

Lewis Stone plays the husband, Tromholt", in a splendid. ily balanced performance, and Peggy Wood, famous stage star makes a living breathing reality of the charmer as "Karen" the opera wile.
