GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT Warner Baxter is said to rise to new dramatic heights in "Surrender," the dynaxnic and romantic Fox picture whxch opens to-night at the Grand Theatre. He appears in the role of a French prisoner in a. German war camp where he meets and falls in love with a beautiful Prussian girl of titled lineage. The beautiful and fascinating Leila Hyams enacts the role of the girl who struggies between the fires of love and flames of hate and who eventually surrenders to romance. William K. -Howard, who pxmduced "Transatlantic" for Fox Films, directed "Surrender" and it was photographed by Jaxxxes Howe who turned the camera crank on "Transatlantic." "Surrender," which is based on "Axelle," Pierre Benoit's successful novel, is not a war picture, the war serving merely as a background for the unfolding of the tensely dramatic plot. It was prepared for the screen by S. N. Behrman and Sonya. Levien. Supporting the principals is a cast that includes such well known personalities of the stage and screen as Ralph Bellamy, William Pawley, Alexander Kirkland, Howard Phillips, Bert Hanlon, C. Aubrey Smith, Bodil Rosing and George Andre Beranger, in addition to more than 1,000 extras.
