EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.
"SKVEN DAYS' I.EAVE." Adapted from Sir' James Bari-ib'a play, "The Old Ladv Shou'3 tier Medals," "Seven Days' Leave," at Everybody's. Theatre this is a very successful . talking picture. While the production is a drama, with a strong element of tragedy, it contains just tlie right amount of comic relief. The story, a queer one, is very human and it is easy to understand the motives behind the actions of tho old lady, who Bo badly v/nnted a son at the War that she invented the eon and received ' imaginary letters f.'om him. This part is taken by Beryl Mercer, and. the producers' choice was a very happy one. She creates exactjy the Lcndon charlady, queer in her speech and in some of lier habits and inordinately proud of her fictitious son at the Front. Oary Cooper, as the son, interprets his part in a> very convincinK manner.
