In a spectacular adaptation of the celebrated old romance of Heidelberg, and the prince who sought happiness there, Ramon Novarro and .Norma Shearer are coming shortly to Auckland. This is called "The Student Prince,” and is the latest super-pro-duction to come from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Ernest Lubitsch, the master director, has treated this most beautiful of love stories in a tender and romantic fashion. It is just a simple plot of a boy and a girl, an unhappy prince and his pathetic sweetheart, a maid in the village inn, but they love with a devotion that is greater than royal traditions, and then, because youth was made for sacrifice, they part. The splendid artistic calibre of the cast and the inspired direction of the master Lubitsch, have made of this the ultimate in motion pictures. It was produced on a lavish scale with minute attention to authentic detail.
