DE LUXE THEATRE.

Bruce Baiusfather, the man who compiled "The Anzac Book," Heath Robinson, and scores of others, put humour on paper for tens of millions to laugh at. Now the Paramount Film Company produces "Behind the Front," which will commence screening at the Do Luxe Theatre this evening, with a matinee to-mor-row at 2.30. Considered the greatest screen comedy of the year, and featuring Wallace Beery, Raymond Hatton, and Mary Brian, this picture will chase the gloom off the face of the most confirmed pessimist^ "Behind the Front" is mirth from beginning to end, and shows the funny situations and incidents at the front. As a pair of simple soldiers, who get into all the trouble possible, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton are irresistibly funny, and Mary Brian, as the Red Cross worker, for whose love Beery and Hatton perform all their exploits and get into all sorts of trouble, is more charming than ever. The supporting cast includes Chester Conklin, Richard Arlen, Louise Lorraine, and Gertrude Astor. In addition there will also be screened "The Life of Jack Hobbs," the only authentic picture of the world's paramount cricketer, which includes slow motion pictures to show how he makes his strokes. A full supporting programme will also be screened, including bright music arranged for the Orchestra de Luxe. The box plans are open at The Bristol, Aitken's Book Arcade, or ring the theatre.
