"TAMING OF SHREW" FAST-MOVING COMEDY When a beautiful girl counters a legitimate proposal of marriage tendered ten-dered by a handsome young man with such a statement as: "I'll see thee hanged," things are bound to happen. And happen they do in "Taming of the Shrew" which comes to the Victory Vic-tory Theatre as the feature attraction next Sunday and likewise brings Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Fair-banks to the screen together for the first time. From the opening shot to the final fadeout, "Taming of the Shrew" is just one long, glorious laugh. From the first moment gay but stubborn Petruchio (Douglas Fairbanks) lays eyes upon his bride-to-be, the stormy, tempestuous Katherine (Mary Pick-ford) Pick-ford) there ensues a battle of wits and wills. Loving her fiery temper, and intrigued by her defiant remark: "I'll see thee hanged!'' Petruchio sets about unceremoniously to tame the Shrew. To make tilings more compli-' compli-' cated, he employs the very tactics ' that have won her the cognomen of ! "wildcat" throughout all of Italy. ' How she resists, and how the ultim- ate solution is worked out could only be told by Shakespeare.
