It has been called a “photographic poem,” a “song in pictures,” and “a vision of beauty.” Recently a number of well-known illustrators attended a performance and at the end were loud in their praise. They were Neysa McMein, Chester Beach, Fred MacMonnies, Gale S. Corbett, Charles C. Curran and Elliott Daingerfield. Lovely Janet Gaynor has the role of the wife, George O’Brien that of the husband, and Margaret Livingston the role of the “woman from the city..” Sunrise ’ will have its premiere release in Xew Zealand in about three months’ time.
