MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT Greta Garbo achieves the finest performance of her career as the heroine. of "Susan Lenox, Her Fall and Rise," which opened last night at the Majestic Theatre as a new Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer offering. The new Garbo picture, which further introduces the striking Clark Gable as a romantic hero, packs more action and visual entertainment than any other talking picture this reviewer has seen since the first musicals. It moves at a swift pace., sweeps forward at a rapid tempo with fastchanging transitions that keep the 'interest ever kindled with fresh expectations. The novel was adapted for the screen by Wanda Tuchock with dialogue by Zelda Sears and Edith Fitzgerald. Leonard has turned in a fine piece of work with his smooth direction, 'splendid camera employment and able judgment in handling the many difficult situations in the dramatic plot. The story is one of regeneration from an entirely different angle. In it Garbo plays the part of a Swedish farm girl, hounded by cruel circumstances into the world, where she fights her battle with life in her own primitive way.
