REGENT
The film version of one of the most discussed books of the day, ‘ The Citadel,’ will prove of particular interest to all who have read Dr Cronin’s novel. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced the film, which is being shown at the Regent, in its British studios at Denham, England, with Robert Donat, one of the finest actors in the world to-day, and popular Rosalind Russell in the leading roles. Superb direction by King Vidor and fine performances by all members of the cast, with Donat outstanding, result in the emotional power of Cronin’s novel being retained on the screen. The dramatic story of the rise of a young and obscure surgeon df tho Welsh collieries district makes one of the most gripping screen-plays of the year, and it is made especially effective by lavish and impressive production.
