CRYSTAL PALACE.
, "SON OF THE GODS." "Son of The . Gods," a First National and Vitaphone all-talking dramatic masterpiece, is to be presented at the Crystal Palace on Monday next. Richard Barthelmess has never exerted more forcefully the magic cf his personality in this splendid Hex Beach story. The picture is beautifully produced. Part of it is in technicolour and • this sequence provides another demonstration that the process of colour photography has at last been perfected. But the black and white scenes also represent the artistic touch and the almost uncany skill and ingenuity of men who through years of practical experience have mastered the a.rt of the camera. A splendid company of players supports Barthelmeas. They are headed by Constance Bennett, one of the most capable dramatic interpreters now on the screen. Altogether, "Son of the Gods" is one of *.he most brilliantly produced and satisfying entertainments to be seen in Christchurch for some time. The box plans are at The Bristol Piano Company
