"LOST ONE" AT
CAPITOL EARNS
CRITICS'ACCLAIM
Rarely has a motion picture re
ceived as much acclaim as Co
lumbia’s "The Lost One (La Tra
viata) which comes to the Capitol
Theatre tonight.
Ever since its New York open
ing, critics as well as moviegoers
1 have been unanimous in their
| praise of this unusual blending of
1 Alexandre Dumas’ classic love story.
"Lady of the Camellias." and the
glorious music of Verdi’s opera.
The renowned Dr. Sigmund
Spaeth has referred to "The Lost
One’ ’as "unquestionably the best
presentation of grand opera yet to
reach the screen.” Other film and
music authorities have hailed the
production as an entirely new ex
perience for movie audiences.
Heading the large cast are Nelly
Corradi and Gino Mattera as the
star-crossed pair whose romance
has been celebrated the world over
and still quickens the hearts of all
who love. Although sung entirely
in Italian, their story is told in
English.
The libretto for "The Lost One"
was written by F. M. Piave. Hector
j Panizza conducted the orchestra
1 and chorus 'of the Rome Opera
i House which provides the musical
I background in support of the prin
cipals.- The film was directed by
; Carmine Gallone for producer
Gregor Rabinovitch.

WORLD'S MOST (XPiKIINCSD AISLINC
'NIGHT UNTO NIGHT'
CURRENTLY SHOWING
AT 20TH CENTURY
—
Conflicting emotions figure in
Warner Bros.’ latest romantic
drama. “Night Unto Night,” which
co-stars Ronald Reagan and Vi
veca Lindfors, on view tonight at
the Gross 20th Century Theatre.
The setting for this drama is in
Florida and one of the more spec
tacular highlights of the film is a
hurricane sequence. All of the wild
terror of such a storm is clearly de
picted in the film, and molded into
the dramatic#motivation with sharp
reality by Director Don Siegel.
Both Miss Lindfors and Reagan
play roles which are replete with
inner dramatic conflicts, and only
by the sheer force of strong will
power are they able to overcome
their problems and meet happiness.
Important supporting roles are
played by Broderick Crawford,
Rosemary de Camp and Osa Mas
sen. “Night Unto Night” is from the
Philip Wylie novel of the same
name. Music is by Franz Waxman.
