“TAMING OF THE SHREW”
SHAKESPEARE ON THE FILMS I The London "Daily Express" mad, I the following reference to "The Tami®. of the Shrew.” when it was sereenea recently in London: Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks have done what the stage, many years has failed to do. They | have brought Shakespeare back to tk%- | people. Millions to whom Shakespe^ ! is only a name will see the screen ver- ! sion of “The Taming of the Shrew/’ ■ j Better entertainment London has i never seen. Its gaiety is delightful and its laughter irresistible. Nothin* I more Shakespearean than the roarin* ! Falstaffian laughter of Mr. Fairbanks I has been heard in London since Eliza. | beth’s day. This picture is the finest gesture that j Hollywood ever made. Not only is georgeously staged, magnificently cos- ( turned, and splendidly photographed but it is Shakespearean in every foot of its length, conforming, perhaps, more to the Tree tradition than to anv other.
