A good supporting bill and tuneful music by Miss Eileen Dennehy's orchestra complete the programme. May M'Avoy has the leading feminine role in "The Road to Glory," Fox Film production, directed by Howard Hawks, author of the story, to be seen on Friday at the Queen's Theatre. It is a story of Chance and its influence upon the life of a girl. In the cast with Miss M'Avoy are Leslie Fenton, Ford Sterling, Rockliffe Fellowes, Milla Davenport, and John MacSweeney. A special prologue to the picture will include Mr. Joe Knowsley's brilliant ballet in special dressings and effects, including two fine exhibition dances by Miss Margaret O'Connor and a special song number by Miss Eunice Smith.
