GRAND
“THE SCARLET LETTER” Auckland picturegoers have an opportunity to see Lillian Gish in her greatest role in "The Scarlet Letter,” Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story of Puritan days, which is now showing at the Grand. Miss Gish has the role of Hester Prynne. Although written very many years ago, “The Scarlet Letter” is still regarded as a fine piece of dramatic literature. Dealing with an age of narrow-minded, blind prejudice, it tells a story that is as dramatic and inspiring to-day as when it was first written. Its heroine, Hester Prynne, was young and gay and in love with life. For these reasons the stern men and women of the Puritan colony in which she lived regarded her with disfavour and suspicion. And when a great new love entered into her life fate whirled her into a tangled web of tragic happenings. A distinguished supporting cast includes Lars Hanson,
"The Swedish John Barrymore,” Karl Dane of “The Big Parade” fame, and Henry B. Walthall.
