New Films on the Silver Screen
(Original Title: 銀幌新影)
‘No Limit’ is a release from Paramount, starring the passionate Clara Bow and the clever Norman Foster. The film paints a vivid picture of a woman’s indulgence in a thrilling romantic narrative that has become quite the conversation piece in American cinemas. ‘New Moon,’ originally titled as such, is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production featuring Grace Moore. The film is set against the backdrop of exotic adventures led by Lawrence Tibbett and is regarded as a noteworthy piece filled with a delightful mix of love and danger. Lastly, ‘Part Time Wife,’ presented by Fox, stars Edmund Lowe and Leila Hyams. It humorously explores the dynamics of modern married life, offering a graceful yet comedic examination of relationships today, earning it a favorable reception among the audience.
