Bsinore Presents Classic Love Tale Starring Hayes and Gable Twe of the greatest personal ities on the American screen are ro-rtirred for the first time in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's t a 1 k ing picture adaptation of F. Marion Crawford's classic love story. The White 8lster." which opens today at- the Elslnore theatre. Thev are Helen Hayes, winner of the recent Motion Picture aeaae- my award, and Clark Gable, un iversally conceded to be the talk les' outstanding matinee idol. Miss Haves, last seen as the nurse in MA Farewell to Arms, this time plays the role of an ar istocratic Italian girl who on the eve of her wedding to man of her father's choice, falls in love with a young officer in the Ital ian air force. A clandestine ro mance results and the father, in a desperate attempt to call a halt to the proceedings. Is involved in an automobile smashup and dies. When the young officer subse quently is called to the front and is reported killed, the girl deter mines to abandon the world and to shut herself up in a convent as a White Sister. The intensely dramatic climax of the story occurs when the of ficer returns from the war and confronts the nun who had be lieved him to be no longer alive. The situation is said to be the most stirring ever enacted by the talented Miss Hayes, outshining even her memorable portrayal In "The Sin of Madelon Claudet. The remainder of the drama re volves about the conflict of the girl between her relitrious vows and the man whom she loves, with the story brought to an end by a sensational denouement. Lewis Stone, who supported Miss Hayes in "The Sin of Made lon Claudet," is east In another strong character role as the father in "The White Sister."
