GRAND AND LYRIC
“THE CONSTANT NYMPH” “The Constant Nymph,” the Gainsborough picture which is being presented at the Lyric and Grand Theatres, is a Brit picture reaching a high standard. It reconstructs on the screen the story of Margaret Kennedy’s novel, which has been a remarkable “bestseller,” and raises to “stardom” Mabel Poulton who, eight years ago, was a junior typist. Her interpretation of “Tessa”—and she read the novel thirteen times during the making of the picture—is one of the most delightful things ever seen on the screen. “The Constant Nymph” is a triumph of British screen craft, and has been built up by a skilful combination of art and technique. The second picture on the programme is “Tommy Atkins.” not a war picture, but a glorious melodrama depicting the British soldier in the Sudan. Walter Butler, Henry Victor and Lillian Hall-Davis are the stars.
