"Becky Sharp"

to

Coming as an apochal event in the history of film entertainment, Pioneer Pictures' much heralded fall colour feature, "Becky Sharp," had opened the Star Theatre on Saturday. The picture elicits cheers and expres Rions of admiring wonder. Gorge ously beautiful, stunningly life like, the picture is all that has been claimed for it, and more. "Becky Sharp, moreover, is far beyond being mero pageant of gorgeous colour. It is a gem of screen entertainment, sparkling with humour, replete with romance, and rich with drama. Per factly enacted, exportly directed by the gifted Rouben Mamoulian, and laviafily produced, it is a masterful dramatization of William Make peace Thackeray's immortal fiction classic, "Vanity Fair." Miriam Hop- kins, starring in the title role, risca to heights in her characterisation of the lovely, vivacious, and successful coquette. She has invested her role with life and understanding, to make the beautiful, wayward, Becky a character to linger long in the memory, Alan Mowbray, na Rawdon Crawley: Frances. Des, as Amelia Sedley; and Sir Cedric Hardwicke, as the Mar- quis of Steyne; are splendid in their roles.
