MAJESTIC THEATRE.
Greta Garbo in "Camillc." "Gamille," with Greta' Garbo' and Robert Taylor as- its sensational costarring team, brings mutual distinction to Hollywood's two most glamorous stars. The picture ftom Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios : jopens on Friday at the Majestic Theatre.- George Cukor, the director,:of "Borneo .and Juliet," again displays the genius of his power in his- superb direction of "Camille." The., notable supporting cast includes Lionel Barrymore, Elizabeth Allan, Jessie Ralph, Henry Daniell, Lenore Ulric, and Laura Hope I Crews, and there is not a ' performance among 'the group that does not deserve praise. The Dumas love classic of "The Lady of the Camellias" provides a peculiarly brilliant .vehicle for the glamorous Garbo. She gives an unforgettable intensity to the , most dramatic role of her brilliant career. Taylor,, whose amazing success in a hrief two years on the screen has made him an international figure, comes into his own as a dramatic actor of rare talent in the exacting role of Armand. The story is too well remembered to require description,, but. the glory of Paris in the periqd of : Dumas is recreated with magnificent-artistry and the dramatic ■ love of Camille . and Armand is portrayed with all the power of the.original. . . .
