DICKENS AGAIN.
1 ''Scrooge," the screen adaptation oi Charles Dickens's immortal story "A Christmas Carol," is due for early re- . lease in New Zealand. Seymour Hicks, the eminent English actor, will recreate, for the talking screen, his I original role of the grasping old miser ■ Ebenezer Scrooge—a part he has play- } ed 2000 times on the legitimate stage, ' and for which he dons a truly marvel- ' lous make-up. Those who see him as ' the tow-headed, bedraggled old skin- ■ flint, Scrooge, will find it almost imj possible to recognise, in him, the de--1 bonair and dapper Charles Popinot of • his former comedy farce, "Vintage 1 Wine". The important part of Bob • Crachit, Scrooge's ill-used but patient clerk, will.be, played by that wellknown character, actor Donald Calthrdp,; and, prominent in the huge supporting cast are Philip Sidney Frost : as:"Tiny Tim," Oscar Asche. as the jovial Spirit of Christmas, Athene Seyler, .Eve Grey, Mary Lawson, MaryGlynnej Peta Penrose, and Hubert Harben.
