With the rumble of Avar drums sounding in [Europe it is highly gratifying that a motion picture like “Forgotten Men” should be placed on public exhibition so that mankind might be reminded once again of the horror and brutality of Avar. For this picture—hitherto suppressed by the Governments of the Avorld—is a Avar spectacle AA’ith official films from the archives of the Avorlcl’s 14 Avarring nations. Though compiled by Elstree by British International Pictures, the film is ,a comprehensive collection of Ava pictures by all the nations which took part in the great struggle, including Germany,, and most of the scenes have never been shown in public before. It will be screened at the Majestic tonight and on Monday night.
