‘THE MARRIAGE OF CORBAL.’
* Tho Marriage of Corbal,’ which opens on Friday next at the Regent, is the screen adaptation of Rafael Sabatini’s novel, ‘ The Nuptials of Corbal.’ This film, which deals with the days of the French Revolution, throws a new light on those troublous days. Whereas most films about the revolution have been concerned with Paris and the teeming action in that disrupted metropolis, this picture shows the efforts of a people’s agent to promote the revolution in a remote southern village, where the rustics are really quite content with the humanitarian ' rule of their marquis, Corbal. This is an unusual, and therefore very interesting, view of an old subject; and the fact that the clash between the old order and tho new .is heightened by thd love of the heads of the rival factions for the same girl gives it some dramatic vigour. Nils Asther, Hazel Terry, and Hugh Sinclair head a strong cast of characters. Tho settings, whether depicting prison, court room, or chateau, are excellently contrived, and the beautiful photography plays a major part in securing dramatic effects.
