Adventure
At Elsinore
Doug Fairbanks, Jr.
Plays Double Role
Of Twin Brothers
With Douglas Fairbanks, jr, in
a swashbuckling role that brings
back memories of his father, "The
Corsican Brothers," Edward
Small's picturization of the Alex
ander Dumas novel, is showing
now at the Elsinore theatre.
through United Artists release.
Swift action, thrilling drama, and
all the romance of the Dumas
novel are here, expertly directed
by Gregory Ratoff and given a I
suDerb production by Producer
Edward Small. That the audience
recognized "The Corsican Broth
ers" as top-notch entertainment,
was evidenced by the enthusiastic j
reception that was given the film, i
In the dual role of the twin
brothers, who seek revenge for
the wrongs done their family by
the Corsican tryant of one hun
dred years ago, Douglas Fair
banks, jr, gives an exsiting per
formance. He has no easy Job,
creating two separate charac
ters who are different, yet alike
in most respects. One, brought
up In luxury, is a ray young
man of the world. The other,
raised as a bandit In the wilds
of Corsica, Is a dour and for
bidding personality. Tet young
Douglas Fairbanks manages to
convey their likenesses as well
as their differences, with an
authenticity that is astounding.
In the scenes of action, the hard
riding, the duels, and the fighting
scenes, he is particularly good.
Thrilling sword-play, vivid and
exciting, carry the story along to
a really great climax.
Special words of praise are
due for the villains of the film.
Akim Tamiroff, as the tyrant,
and John Emery, as his lieuten
ant, are the very embodiment of
evil. They are as fine a pair
of wicked schemers as has been
seen on the screen in a long
time.
Ruth Warrick, in the feminine j
lead, is comparatively a newcomer J
to motion pictures; but in this
film, she gives ample evidence of
her ability. She is a lovely crea
ture, and she can act.
The stellar supporting cast in
cludes, Henry Wilcoxon, Gloria
Holden. J. Carroll Naish and
IL B. Warner.
All iri all, "The Cprsican Broth
ers" adds up to entertainment
plus. Fine production, brilliant di
rection, and the romance of an
Alexandre Dumas story well told!
