NEW REGENT
‘‘CAMILLE” Generally acclaimed as the greatest triumph of the speaking stage’s foremost actresses, notably Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse, “Camille,” modernised for the screen, now becomes Norma Talmadge’s crowning achievement. “The finest screen performance of all time,” is the tribute paid to Miss Talmadge by motion picture critics. Produced by Joseph M. Schenck for First National, and directed by Fred Niblo, the modern “Camille” has an unusually strong cast in support of the star.
Gilbert Roland, a young Spanish actor whose portrayal of “Armand” has created a sensation in filmdom, is Miss Talmadge’s new leading man. Other players in “Camille” inciude Alec B. Francis, Rose Dione, Eilyan Tashmau, Helen Jerome Eddy, Carmel ita Geraghty, Harvey Clark and Tom Ricketts The feature, of course, is invested with all the lavishness which always ma rks a Norma Talmadge vehicle. The gowns worn by the star are extremely dazzling. New effects in beautiful motion picture photography are achieved by Oliver Marsh, chief cameraman during the filming of “Camille.” The picture will finish a most successful run at the New Regent Theatre to-night.
