“NOTHING SACRED”

SENSATIONAL COMEDY IN TECHNICOLOUR. . David O. Selznick, outstanding producer iof successful pictures, has achieved another big hit with “Nothing Sacred.” Hailed by the critics of America as the year’s best comedy, it is ah hilarious dramatisation of life in New York city, just as Selznick’s previous film “A Star is Born” dramatised life in Hollywood so successfully. The film is a devastating satire on New York journalism and ballyhoo. Carole Lombard, who has a notable flair for comedy roles, is said to give the finest performance of her career, surpassing her achievement in “My Man Godfrey.” Fredric March is also starred, and provides much of the comedy as the Cosmopolitan journalist who unwittingly perpetrates a costly hoax on the publisher and editor. of his newspaper. The comedy starts in the small town of Warsaw, Vermont, where Miss Lombard is seen as a small town girl, with a yearning for New York; the picture quickly switches locale to the big city. March, as the ace reporter of the New York “Morning Star,” of which Walter Connolly is managing editor, brings the girl to Gotham. Charles Winninger, small town medico in the picture, comes along.
