CIVIC THEATRE
SATURDAY AND MONDAY "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the new . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer attr aetion at the Civic Theatre, is. the grippingly imaginative story of a young man who wished that he remain forever young, and was granted' that wish. Crammed with suspense and exciting scenes, it relates what happened when hand-. some Dorian Gray, urged on oy a cynical nobleman, decides to learn about life at first hand, living fully and dangerously. With handsome and promising Hurd Hatfield (the rebel son of "Dragon Seed") in the title role, the screen version of Oscar Wllde's most celebrated story emerges as one of the most unusual stories ever told. George Sanders, noted for his "Saint" characterisations, now plays Sir Henry, a nobleman who despises the world and its ways and influences young Dorian to follow in his own footsteps in disdaining everything but the pleasures that can be obtained, in any way whatever, from life.J
