“PASSION FLOWER.”
When “Passion Flower/’ Kathleen Norris’ story of a woman who married an old man for money and subsequently falls desperately in love with the youthful husband of her cousin, became one of the year’s most widely read novels, it was immediately recognised by Met-ro-Goldwyn-Mayer as containing the essential qualities for a successful screen narrative.
The talking picture rights were promptly purchased and the adaptation placed in the hands of Martin Flavin, the writer who recently achieved distinction as the author of the brilliant “Criminal Code.” Willian de Mille was selected to direct the production, and Kay Johnson, Charles Bickiord, Kay Francis and Lewis Stone, all of whom rank as screen players of first order, were assigned principal roles. Important supporting parts were given to Zasu Pitts, Winter Hall and the four-year-old Dickie Moore.
This gripping production has been secured by the Princess Theatre and will be shown to-night ((Saturday). Also News, Cartoon, Dog Comedy. Prices 2s 6d, ’ Is’ 6d, children 6d.
