WILMJTT£ . LIFE 'Picture Reviews ··- _I_J_U_-~ [ Line-0-Newa "Private Life ·.of .Helen of Troy" at Nonhor~ UncOil\'entional and unusuai . in ever,· respect, "T.he Private Life of Helei1 of Troy," the feature at . .the Norshore theater next week, intr(,)duced many innovations into picture production. After exhaustive tests had been made against all screen it was decided to precedent and build the sets of sheer white and blac~ walls. ·a nd .floors. This has been considered virtually impossible before because of the impossibility of lighting and photographing such radical, contral'ting shades. This picturization of John Erskine's brilliant comedy of the same name. features an unusually large cast headed by Maria Corda as Helen. Lewis Stone as Menelaos and Ricardo Cortez as Paris. Miss Corda, newly · arrived from Hungary, is exquisite in her portrayal. and captures the hearts of her audiences by her acting, much the same as Helen did the hearts of her admirers. Lewis Stone is satirically funny as Menelaos. the old-fashioned tired business man, while Ricardo Cortez has nearly as prominent a role as Stone. The old favorite, George Fawcett, is ·p erfect as the family gatekeeper and furnishes many laughs with his humorous acting. AI Kvale and his merry gang will offer a new and pleasing jazz jamboree on the stage, entitled, "Take It Easy." The boys are warning others but fail to take heed themselves.

DeMille's "King of Kings," C that supreme film which in its preview took European critics and censors by storm and won for itself the honor of being the first and only film actually picturizing the figure of Christ to be permitted to be presented on the screen of any London or Middlesex county (England) screen, makes its grand premiere in Chicago next Sunday at the Erlanger. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest pictures' of the year. BYARS'fOII PLAYBB in the Rural c~,dy Hat· ! . ·· ( .. . I go ·!

According to all reports. it went right over. You'll remember that this is the production that Peggy Bernier took the Twentieth Centun· limited east to join. Peggy gains special comment from the critics because of her excellent work. Those interested in the activities and 1> e r son a I it y of Benito Mussoliniwhether in connection with his attacks on the independence of bachelorhood or merely as one of the blg noises in current history-will find not a little of interest in the conception of him given by the Movietone at the Monroe.
