“LES MISERABLES”
COMING TO AUCKLAND The new version of “Les Miserables,” which was recently purchased by the Universal Film Company for the entire world, the Continent excepted, promises to be one of the most stupendous films ever shown, judging from the reports of the Press on its premieres in Paris, London, and New York. “Les Miserables” is regarded by many people as by far the greatest work of Victor Hugo, and the film, according to . “Le Matin,” of Paris, “pours out the intense generosity, wide charity, vehement pity, and magnificent revolt against ‘social damnation’— all that makes Victor Hugo’s novel a masterpiece. Humanity is indeed the essence of the film, which will engrave itself on the screens throughout the world, an outstanding fact in our national film production.” “Les Miserables” will be screened at the Princess and Tivoli Theatres on Thursday.
