RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM
“PRISONERS" Ferenc Molnar, famous playwright and novelist, is the author of “Prisoners,” starring Corinne Griffith, the current attraction at the Rialto and Regent, Epsom, Theatres. Several of Molnar’s plays have been transferred to the silver sheet, but “Prisoners” is the first of his novels to find its way to the screen. William A. Seiter directed and lan Keith plays opposite the star with Otto Matiesen in a role of almost equal Importance. In “Prisoners” Miss Griffith has the role of a Hungarian girl who is first an entertainer in a gay Viennese night club and later a waitress in Kore’s pastry shop in the picturesque little town of Trovaro, near Budapest. The part affords Corinne an excellent opportunity for contrast, as she is just an adventurous coquette leading a very Bohemian existence and later an awakened woman fighting for a great love and for freedom from the past which has enslaved her. The bright supporting programme is headed by the thriller, “Harvest of Fate.”
