Show A SUPERB TREAT FOR LOVERS OF DICKENS' WORKS Dc-lifjlitful Characters of "David Copperiicld" Comes to Life on Screen With an all-star cast fairly scintillating scin-tillating with "big names," one of the most elaborate screen presentations presenta-tions of recent years comes to the Cameo Theatre Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, April 7, 8 and 9. It is "David Copperfield," Charles Dickens' favorite novel, which comes to life with its myriad of interesting characters through the medium of the films. No picture since the advent of sound has been more widely heralded her-alded than "David Copperfield" More than a year in the making, it is the lastest motion picture a-chievement a-chievement of David O. Selznick, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producer noted no-ted for "Dinner at Eight," "Viva Villa!" "Little Women" and many other history making productions. Reproduced with fidelity from Dickens' best-beloved story, filmed both in England and in Hollywood, the picture has proven one of the most sensational hits of recent years. 65 "Key" Characters Sixty-five stars and featured players play-ers make up the "key" characters of the cast. W. C. Fields creates the immortal Wilkins Micawber, Esq., the improvident impro-vident but happy wastrel who is "always "al-ways expecting something to turn up." Frank Law ton, who distinguished himself in "Cavalcade," plays the adult David Copperfield, and the child role is played by one of the brilliant juvenile discoveries of recent re-cent years, a ten-year-old lad named Freddie Bartholomew. |
