BIG PICTURES AT BRITANNIA Imagine a picture that starts out with a night hold-up of a fashionable gambling house perpetrated by two crooks in evening clothes, carries on to the grim interior of a penitentiary, shows an attempted prison break, gives intimate glimpses of social life in a home of wealth and culture, and then depicts the terrified reactions of a woman being slowly driven mad by fear. Such a picture is “Forgotten Faces.” now at the Britannia Theatre. Olga Baclanova and Clive Brook have leading roles. “Dry Martini,” a gay comedy of an American who lived at the bar of the Ritz in Paris, with Mary Astor and Matt Moore as the stars, is the second feature. Norma Talmadge has just completed her second United Artists picture, “The Woman Disputed,” which is a Henry King production. In this film Gilbert Roland, Arnold Kent. Gustav von Seyffertitz, Boris de Fas and Gladys Brockwell will appear.
