RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
i “LADY WINDERMERE’S FAN” i Admirers of Ernst Lubitsch have ! now another reason to say there is i nothing this master director of the screen cannot do. This is because “Lady Windermere’s Kan,” which is now at the Rialto and Regent (Epsom > Theatres, is a perfect photo-play in spite of the sceptics who wagged mournful heads at the thought of Oscar Wilde’s brilliant wit and famous epigrams transferred to the screen. “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” written 30 years ago, is a thoroughly modern story of a beautiful woman’s determined and successful effort to ga;n an entry into the society that has scorned her. Her charm wins her friends when she forces her -way into the birthday party of Lady Windermere, and her sacrifice for her daughter results in ultimate happiness for the woman who risked everything she desired most for love of her daughter. Irene Rich is the revelation of what a finished actress can really rise t*> tinder perfect direction. “Beau Broadway.” an unusually interesting boxing story, starring Aileen Pringle and Lew Cody, will also he shown.
