BIZARRE SCENES IN FILM
What is probably the farthest flight of fancy ever made in any motion picture is that Martian scene in "No, Xo, Nanette,” the First National and Vitaphone screen musical production which will have its premiere in New Zealand shortly.
This scene, laid on the Red Planet, is of course purely imaginary, but in a number of its details it is based upon all the data that could be scraped together on the subject of the mysteri-
ous heavenly body has been the subject of so much controversy—the planet Mars. Therefore the Martian scene in “No. No, Nanette,” represents an imaginative effort comparable with that which produced If. G. Wells's sensational novel, “The War of the Worlds.” This scene, filmed entirely in technicolour, is both startling and bizarre.
Warner Bros, have purchased the screen rights to the David Belasco play, “Sweet Kitty Bellairs,” which will be filmed as an all-talking Vitaphone production, with Marian Nixon starring.
