'. be famous actor is just as impres- sive in pictures as he was in the speaking drama, when in support of Henry Irving and Beyerbohm Tree he was acclaimed by British audiences everywhere. The Oakland, Cal, Observer savs: When Tyrone Power was playing Basunlo to the "Shvlock" of Sir Hen- ry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre in London, a few cinema shows were, run hing in some parts of the city with admission “tuppence.” If anyone had told Powers then that. he would be- come a screen actor he might have. run them through with Bossanlo’s ‘dagger, but nevertheless Tyrone is in the movies and in 'em right. The Photopiayer's Review says: Tyrone Power certainly makes the movies move. The great Shakespear- ean actor is being starred in “The Planter," a spectacular production based on Herman Whitaker's sensa- tlonal southern Mexican novel. The story is full of tense situations in , . which Power is given his grand op- portunity. The play ought to be. an enormous hit.
