REGENT THEATRE
"ROMEO AND JULIET"
J Of "Komeo and Juliet" an American critic writes : "Thiis is a magnificently-produced, splendidly-acted, and profoundly moving picture. "Although Howard and Norma Bhearer, as Romeo and Juliet, respectively, have the major roles, the fine sucqess of the film is attributable, at least as much as it is to them, to the finisbed performances of the many eubsidiary players who appear. "As Romeo, Howard has a role which is by no means as easy as it appears on the surface. This actor handled it in a manner that calls forth nothing but admiration. | "Those who recollect the number of years Miss Shearer has been in pictures will be astounded at .the youthfulness she brifigs to her interpretation of Juliet. She not only Tooks young ; she is young ; and to this fresh charm she adds an emotional depth that reaches its highest point when, after her marriage, she has to bid f farewell to Romeo when he is fofced to fiee to Mantua."
