JOAN CRAWFORD and ROBERT MONTGOMERY in "LETTY LYNTON."

It is tremendous!

We are giving you the tip-off!

"Letty Lynton" is the biggest Joan Crawford hit of them all.

Read this advance New York report from To-day's Cinema.

"Last night, at the Capitol Theatre, I saw a great star portray the title role in 'Letty Lynton.' Joan Crawford has ever given an excellent account of herself. it needed a Letty Lynton to demonstrate conclusively that Joan Crawford is far and away the most promising artiste on the screen horizon. M-G-M seem thoroughly to have demonstrated the fact that they know how to develop stars as well as turn out box-office pictures. It is getting mono- tonous to say 'M-G-M. has done it again,' but we must insist that in 'Letty Lynton' they have another of those hits which are direct answers to the prayers of exhibitors who yearn to see long queues headed for the.. box-office (as who doesn't?)."
