FRENCH MOVIE WILL BE GIVEN DECEMBER 15, 16

"Cinq Gentilhommes Maudits," Directed By Vaudal-Delac, To Be Presented By Talking Films Committee

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As its December production, the French Talking Films Committee will present "Clinq Gentilhommes Maudits" on Thursday and Friday, December 15, and 16, at 2.30, 5.15, and 8.30 o'clock in the Institute of Geographical Exploration. Any member of the University may obtain tickets upon presentation of a Bursar's card beginning Monday morning, December 12, at the Exhibition Hall, Robinson Hall Annex.

The film, which describes the adventures of a rich French traveler in Morocco, has been adapted from one of the most famous novels of the French modern school. Vandal-Delac, one of the best producers in Europe, who also directed "Le Bal" which the Committee presented last month, has taken charge of the production. The plot hinges about the efforts of an unscrupulous blackmailer to intimidate a wealthy young Frenchman into giving him a large sum of money. The photography is particularly good, every scene having been filmed in Morocco. The local color of the country is effectively brought out by depictions of native dances and religious festivals.

Rene Lefevre, who played the leading ing role in "Le Million," which was presented by the committee last year, takes the part of the young traveler in "Cinq Gentilhommes Maudits." Barry Baur, the Fault Jannings of the French stage who plays the lead in "David Golder," which will be produced later in the year, is cast as the genial host in the coming film. The role of the heroine is portrayed by Rose Dercan. Jacques Ibert composed the music, which aids greatly in the interpretation of the story
