"TELL ENGLAND."
WAR EPIC FILMED.
"Tell England," which, in picture form, faithfully reproduces the fine story by Ernest Raymond, will commence its Auckland season early in August. For New Zealanders there is more than the usual interest attached to "Tell England." It was on the barren hills of the Gallipoli Peninsula that so many New Zeala'nders made the supreme sacrifice, and it is on those same hills that the major portion of "Tell England" takes place. 1 "Tell England" is an epic—an epic of youth drawn into the vortex of man's most demoniacal invention—war. The story opens in beautiful England in April, 1914, with two school friends, Rupert Ray and Edgar Doe, enjoying life, to the full in the beautiful countryside. Then August, 1914, and the call to arms—and finally Gallipoli. Carl Harbord takes the part of Doe and Tony Bruce that of Ray. They fill their roles admirably, their English accent being an added charm to the*" acting. Confined to a dug-out for month after month, they see all their friends fall victim to "Coughing Clara," a deadly Turkish mortar. "Tell England . . we died for her and here we vest content." Keep out of bed with that cold. Nazol will show you how. The unfailing remedy.—(Ad.)
