THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928 r-- =| Who's Who and THE LOCAL SCREEN What's What in the Amusement World i Laat Screen's Greatest Stars In Spectacular Serial + Even without its absorbing story and thrilling action, Warner Bros.' production of "When a Man Loves" starring John Barrymore would be a great picture because of its sheer pictorial beauty, Besides its many sided appeal to the imagination it is an ever changing delight to the eye. No expense was spared in the erection of the gigantic settings, perfect and realistic in every least detail. The costumes of a naturally color- ful and decorative period are of unparalleled magrificence and var- fety, The photography of these by the master who filmed "The Sea Beast" and "Don Juan" accentuates them and suffuses them with a ro- mant@-glamour which enchants the mind ®nd gives the spectator the illusion of utter reality, The swords used in '"When 1 Man Loves" starring John Barry- more and directed by Alan Cros- land are not flat blades, sharp on one or both edges, of the kind in common use today, but bona fide raplers of the period 'of Louis XV of France, ' Mus Barrymore, who is an author- ity on the period, explains, that these blades were longer than the ordinary dress parade sword and wera extremely light and flexible. They were diamond-shaped, so as to offer little resistance to the air in side-strokes, and so that wounds inflicted would stay open and bleed freely, They were not used to slash or hack, but to parry and thrust. The fact that they were used with lightning-like rapidity made it im- perative that they should be very light in weight, and balanced so that the hilt and guard weighed as much as the blade, The use of the ancient rapier is thrillingly dem- onstrated in "When a Man Loves," "When a Man Loves has as its setting the gay and dissolute Paris of Louis XV _when love and the chases were the chief occupations of the few and dire poverty the lot 'of the many, Nevé® has Barry- more essayed a story of more power and heart appeal than this one and LD) DENNY Who will be the leading attraction in "On Your Toes" coming to the New Martin on Monday, Dolores Costello, heroine of the -adorable "The Sea Beast," has arisen to even greater dramatic heights, The rest of the cast reads like the blue book of filmdom, in- cluding as it does, Sam De Grasse, Holmes Herbert, Warner Oland, Marcelle Corday, Charles Clary, Templar Saxe, Iugenie Bresseser, Rertram Grashy, Nobila Johnson, Stuart Holmes, Tom Santschi, Tom Wilson and many others.
