CIVIC THEATRE.
"THE LAST OF MRS CHEYNEY." "The Last of Mrs Gheyney," showing at the Civio Theatre this week, is a screen version o( one of the most notable plays of modern years and is a complete success. When Frederick Lonsdale' wrote "The Last of Mrs Cheyney," he put into-it all he knew of the world, and a little more; he polished it until it shone; and finally he made it dramatically sound. "SPLINTERS." It was a happy thought that brought the British talking picture "Splinters" to lift. It is the story of the famous concert party of that name, its origin in a shell-shattered village in Flanders, the part it played In keeping op the spirit of the armies in France, and the history of the "Bra Sat Theatre," behind the lines, filmed by a British director with an all-British cast, including many actors from the English stage, who formed the original personnel of the war-time company.
