“LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA.”
One of the most notorious scandals in modern history supplies the motivation for the second great Warner Bros.’ picture within a year, based upon the life of a famous Frenchman. The picture is “The Life of Emile Zola,” and the scandal is that surrounding the conviction and imprisonment of Captain Alfred Dreyfus on “Devil’s Island, on a trumped-up charge that he had sold important army secrets to Germany. The picture will open next Friday at the Regent Theatre. Not only the great success of “The Story of Louis Pasteur,” with Paul Muni in the title role, but also the powerful drama of Zola’s picturesque career as a moulder of public opinion in France, influenced the studio in making this picture. Muni, who won the Academy Award for his Pasteur effort, also has the title role in “Zola.”
