When age-old European customs
meet modem ideas of freedom and
independence sonethUg is certain to
happen, quite generally to the dis
advantage of the customs.
That is the theory set forth in a
! highly entertaining and original man-
' r.er in “The Stolen Bride,” the First
Natio. al Pleture starring Billie Dove
] which will open an engagement of 2
j days at the Dixie Theatre here Fri-
! day ard -IkUiirday at 7:30 p. m.
“The Stolen Bride,” a ccm''dy-dra-
! ma of Euvoe before the World War,
] is a unique and an outstanding pro
duction in a number of waysi
It introduces as a star. Billie Dove,
universally regarded as one of the
I screen’s reigning beauties. and
brings Alexander Korda, prominent
| Hungarian directcy, to American
j film.
If anyone harbored doubts as to
Miss Dove’s fitness for stardom, they
! were completely dispelled by her*
! splendid performance and striking
; oersorality in “The Stolen Bride.”
I‘Mr. Korda wins honors 'no. loss ap-
! parent with his masterly direction
j 'v his first American production.
: The combination of star and director,
abetted by the talents of Carey Wil
son .author who produced the pic-
i ture. is indeed a happy one.
“The Stolen Bride” is provided
with the : idlest possible settings and
costumes and Kc*rda has brought to
the screen the colorful atmosphere
i of Budapest and Vienna as few di-
j rectors have been able *to do before.
Lloyd Hughes offers an excellent
characterization in the masculine
lead opposite Miss Dove, Lilyan
. Tashman, Armand Kaliz. Cleve
