ENGLISH RURAL LIFE
A MOST refreshing and charming romance is the 8.1. P. production, “Mr. Bill the Conqueror.” Filmed almost entirely in rural England, the scenery is magnificent and is a great change from the average settings of modern city life. The story concerns a young nobleman who, finding himself almost penniless, decides to go into the country and try to make a living on a farm that was left to him. In the face of many adversities he wins through and finds both happiness and comfort. The show is excellently acted. The chief honours go to Henry Kendall, as Bill, who conquers, and to Heather Angell, his inspiration. Nora Swinburne, Sam Livesey and Louie ’Tinsley are prominently cast. The scenes of English rural and village life rank among the finest and most entertaining ever screened.
