Here are two portrayals of sheer bril- liance and acting intensity. Muni and Miss Rainier not only make you see the Chinese farmer and his wife but feel them, breathe with them and believe in them. It is questionable whether any two or stage could have played these roles as Muni and Luise Rainier play them. In admirable support of the stars is a cast headed by Walter Con- nolly, Tilly Losch, Charley Grape- win, Jessie Ralph and hundreds of Chinese players outstanding of which is the work of Soo Yong, Keye LI Roland Lui, Suzanna Kim Chir ah Lee, William Law and Mary Wong. The excellent work of the cast, together with the sensitive, artistic and perceptive di- rection of Sidney Franklin fuse the whole of the narrative together, giving it a sparkling clarity and emotional depth CEHRIC GETS §39,000 FOR COMING YEAR Now Receives More than Any Other Player Has Except Ruth ST.
