"Catherine the Great," another
brilliant historical film drama from
the London studio that produced
"The Private Life of Henry VIII,”
which plays at the Oasis Sunday and
Monday, Introduces a new screen
personality of charm and splendid
ability in Elizabeth Bergner and
presenting Douglas Fairbanks, Jr..
in the most Important achievement
of his career.
The new film refrains from the
broad comedy that kept “Henry
VIII" on the borderland of farce and
devotes itself rather to the skilifu
development of * dramatic story it
a background of
barba rom
splendor and license of the court o
old Russia.
The picture makes no pretense ol
following history, save In the facts
that Catherine was a German girl
who became the wife and later the
successor of a czar named Peter.
The empress as portrayed by Miss
Bergner Is a young woman of deep
and single devotion to her husband,
patiently suffering Ignominy and
abuse at his hands, and wresting the
throne from the erratic frenzies of
a madman.
Young Fairbanks gives a splendi
performance in the unsympathetic
character of the grand duke who be­
comes cur. a terrible and pathetic
creature with a warped mind full of
surging ambition, brooding suspic-
ions and violent passions. The oth­
er role of importance is that of the
Empress Elizabeth, played convine-
ingly by Flora Robson.
