WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY
The eagerly anticipated film, “The
Good Earth" starring Paul Muni
and Luise Ranier will be shown at
, the Majestic Theatre for three
days, Sunday, Monday, and Tues-
day of next week. The film ver-
sion of Pearl S. Buck’s novel by
the same name is the screen’s most
ambitious and spectacular under-
taking. The novel is one of the
greatest best-sellers of the last de-
cade and is the recipient of two
prixes, having been selected as the
Book of the Month and also win-
ning the Pulitzer Prize for the best
novel of the year.
This dramatic story of the old-
est civilization on earth shows
| China’s teeming millions, their
struggles and hardships, with all
the mystery and magic of the
Orient.
In the story of the impoverish-
ed farmer, Wang, who takes as
his wife, the slave-girl O-Lan, and
who fights against locusts, against
| famine, against revolution, we have
a panorama of Chinese civiliza-
tion. O-Lan works beside her hus-
band in the fields, gives him sons
and a daughter and restores his
fortune when the famine ruins him.
The revolution brings unexpected
wealth to Wang, destroying his
ambition, his integrity and his phil-
osophy. He marries a younger
woman only to discover bitterness
and defeat. Again it is the faith-
ful O-Lan who restores peace and
happiness to the family.
In the hands of Paul Muni and
1 Luise Ranier the portraits of Wang
and O-Lan are etched in strokes
that will linger in the minds of
film goers for years to come. Muni,
in an incredibly realistic Chineze
makeup, offers an enthralling char-
acterization of the farmer seduced
by riches and flattery. Miss Ranier
goes beyond makeup to the point
where even her thoughts seem to
be embodied in the Oriental con-
ception. Her work in ‘‘The Good
Earth,” proves that she is one of
the incomparable actresses of the
screen.
I Not a flaw is to be found in the
1: entire cast Walter Connelly is
splendid as Uncle; Tilly Losch,
the European dancer, scores in
an interpretative dance sequence;
Charley Grapewin is excellent as
the Old Father, as is Jessie Ralph
as Cuckoo. The Chinese players
headed by Soo Yong, Keye Luke,
Roland Lui and Suzanna Kim are
uniformly good. Some 2,000 Orien-
tals are used in mob scenes.
The sets, shifting from the acre
of landscaped farm regions to the
exotic palaces of the rich, are
breathtaking in scope and visual

beauty. To see this picture is a ver-
tiable trip to China.
The triumph for directing this
ambitious film goes to Sidney
Franklin. To him, to the stars of
“The Good Earth,” to its out-
standing cast of players, to its
designers and craftsmen go the
accolades for a production which
raises the standards of picture-
making higher than they have been
raised before.
In this enthralling Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer picture which lays bare
the tragedy of the Chinese peoples
in gripping scenes, the vital hu-
man undercurrent of a woman’s
love and a man’s unreasoning greed
ruthlessly sweep onward toward a
heartbreaking climax.
For months “The Good Earth”
packed Broadway and road-show
theatre at $2.20. But now Pearl
S. Buck’s prize-winning novel is
available to everyone, unchanged
and complete with all its thrills
intact. This outstanding picture
of all time will live forever, bring-
ing awe to strong men and cour-
age to women. Be sure and see
“The Good Earth, the biggest pic-
ture ever made—vast in theme and
tremendous in background—a mas-
terpiece of literature and a master-
piece of pictures!
The management of the Majestic
Theatre calls attention to the fact
that bargain day prices will not
prevail next Tuesday, which will
be the last showing of this wonder-
ful picture, “The Good Earth.”

setting in. Iraq (which used to be
Arabia) as a locale. They placed
a British garrison there, had its
members surrounded by wild na-
tives and offered the problem of
how the soldiers and their officers
and wives were to be saved—if they
might be. Kay Francis, that glam
ouroug lady of the screen, is the
woman most chiefly concerned and
the two men who love her are
Errol Flynn and Ian Hunter.
There are mountains and deserts
and a lot of fighting and some
daring airplane flying in “Another
Dawn,” the producers declare. A
stirring climax comes when the
time arrives for one or the other
of Miss Francis’ adorers to save
the garrison. Errol Flynn is said
to surpass his performance in that
history-making movie, “The Charge
of the Light Brigade”. Hunter, too,
has the best opportunity which
has come to him since Warner Bros,
imported him from London to ap-
pear in a Shakespearian play. Wil-
liam Dieterle, who directed “The
Story of Louis Pasteur” and “The
White Angel” guided the making
of “Another Dawn”. Besides the
three stars, the cast includes such
excellent players as Frieda Ines-
cort, Herbert Mundin, Billy Bevan,
Clyde Cook, Mary Forbes and G.
P. Huntley, Jr.
