The FILM "CORSICAN BROTHERS™ BILL NOW AT CAPITOL There was a bit of nostalgia last night at the Capitol Theatre, when Douglas Fairbanks Jr., appeared in |the kind of swashbuckling role that trought back memories of his belov- film was Edward I's picturization of the Alexan- e Dumas’ novel, “The Corsican trothers.” Swift acton, t ling lrama and_all the romance of the ssic are here. Fairbanks Jr. gives a | compelling performance in the dual ole of the twin brothers who seek revenge for the wrongs done their family by a Corsican tyrant of one undred yeurs ago. One brother, srought up in luxu is a gay young {man of the world. The other, raised a bandit in the wilds of Corsica, is a dour and forbidding personality. It is no easy job creating separate characters who are so different, yet so alike but young Fairbanks man- ages to convey their likeness as well as their differences with amazng facility. Ruth Warrick, in the feminine lead, added another to the long list of screen performances that have stamped her one of Holly- wood's more talented actresses. She is a lovely creature to look at—and she can act. Special words of praise are due to | the villains of the film. Akim Tami- roff, as the tyrant, and John Emery, as his lieutenant, are the very em- | | bodiment of evil.
