"Cinemascope is all at once the first and second major practical ,-mp;-or-ement in the presentation of the Motion Picture since the ad- vent of Sound" said Mr. F. Gordon Spencer, President of F. G. Spencer (-,,mp;;ny Limited, operator of the uprince Edward" and 'Capitol' the- gires here.

three sets of speakers behind the screen and additional speakers a- long the side walls of the theatre. Just listen and notice - the sound will come directly from the per- son speaking. Music will be heard from all over the stage not just the middle. 1!, for example, the violins are on the right and the trumpets on the left, that's where the sound comes from.

"We, in the F. G. Spencer Com- pany, have patiently waited while several recent technical improve- ments to the motion picture have come and gone. We've watched Cinemascope until thoroughly con- vinced of its permanence and mer- its. Now, with pride and confid-

ence we can present Cinemascope to our Charlottetown audiences."

All the great scenes which have kept the Daiglas master- piece on beat;-seller lists for ten years are included in the film, "The Robe" is the story. of what happened to the cloak Christ wore at the Crucifixion.

The story unfolds before the unforgettable and, matchless set- tings of the Roman slave market where Marcellus first acquires Demetrius; the glittering palace of the Emperor at Rome and cllffside villa at Capri; the hill of Calvary where the Crucifix- ion takes place; the Catacombs of Rome; the city of Jerusalem as it appeared that first Palm

for "The Robe." The producer and his director, Henry Kosher, made certain that their offering

was bowled with the finest lul- llah speaking talent from both sides of the Atlantic. Playing Marcellus, Tribune to the Em- peror. is Richard Burton, the brllliant young Eltlsher who won instant attention on Broad- way in Christopher Fry's "The Lady's Not for Burning" and duplicated this auocoas in his very first film role, "My Cousin Rachel," earning himself an Academy Awsrd nomination. Opposite him, as Diana, the Em- peror's ward, is Jean Simmons, whose haunting beauty and skill- ful artistry first emerged when she enacted Ophelia. to Sir Lau- rence Ollvler's "I-lamlet," and were confirmed In "Trio" and "Young Bess."

Victor Mature. whose perform- ance prevlewers have ranked as a revelation of new powers from this already highly regarded star. is seen as Demetrius, the Greek slave bonded to Marcellus a.nd instrumental in the latter's conversion to the faith which is symbolized by the robe of Christ. The picture's fourth star, Michael Rennie, appears as 81- mon of Galilee known as Peter, the Big Fisherman.

Other important roles are filled by youthful Jay Robinson, from the Broadway stage, as the sadistic Caligula; and veteran prize-winning actor, Dean Jag- ger. cast as Justus, a disciple.
