MAJESTIC THEATRE.
Greta Garbo in "Camille."
"Camille," with Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor as its sensational costarring team, brings mutual distinction to Hollywood's two most glamorous stars.. The picture from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer .studios opens on Friday at the Majestic Theatre. George Cukor, the director of "Romeo 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 Ulrip,' 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 brief 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 period of Dumas is recreated with magnificent artistry and the dramatic love of Camille and Armand is portrayed with all the power of the original.
