On the estern Front”—Fox Rex. Thursday Friday and Saturday.

“ALL QUIET ON THE
•
WESTERN FRONT" IS
FILM ACHIEVEMENT •
Once in the proverbial blue moon
there comes to the screen a picture
before which all critics of motion-
pictures must stand silent; a picture
which proclaims that the screen pos­
sesses powers Inherent in no other
medium of artistic expression; a pic
tun* which appeals with equal strength
to the Intelligence and to the emo­
tions.
Such a picture is "All Quiet on the
Western Front." U niverse's super-
production of Erich Marta Remurque's
famous novel, at the Fox Rex theatre
Thursday. Friday and Saturday.
There have been war pictures which
were primarily spectacles There have
been w«r pictures which were primar­
ily romances. There have been war
pictures which were primarily melo­
dramas. "All Quiet on the Western
Front" is primarily the story of youth.
. . . the youth of all nations . . . In
war. It Is the story of one youth who
symbolises in himself the fate of all
youth . . . comrades and foemen . . .
oast into the flaming maw of war.
In '• All Quiet on the Western
Front" thousands of men go down
to death in the inferno of battle . . .
to show «he effect upon the soul of
young Paul Baumer. To this same
m il. others are maimed and tortured
by the wounds Infilled by shot and
steel. To this end. thousands of shells
whine and scream across the fields
of Europe, which the bate of man
has turned into the living grave of
youth.
By chance, and tbe genius that
guided the pen of Erich Marla Re­
marque. the central figure of "All
Quiet on the Western Print" Is a
German. But nationality means noth
ing. The hero is the "unkown sol­
dier" of all nations . . . the epitome
of all youth that suffered and died
in war. or suffered and came back,
not the same, to a world that had
passed them by.
