ENTERTAINMENTS

REGENT AND NEW OPERA HOUSE,

In view of the King's Jubilee celebritidns next week, "Royal Cavalcade," which is now showing at the Regent Theatre and the New Opera House should have a general appeal. The last'twentyfive years have been remarkable in 't'.ie world's, history for many stirring events and in "Royal Cavalcade" an attempt has been made to bring within the compass of an evening's entertainment the outstand ing features of n. monarch's 'reign;- Tim .picture is pre-eminently a pictorial record" and in that respect alone contains inuu j that is of interest. Such a great deal has happened in the last few years that those who have been responsbile for the production of "Royal Cavalcade" must certainly have been confronted with a problem in : knowing what to include and what \o omit from the picture;, it would have beon impossible to have covered all aspect , of the last twenty-five years, but in theii selection the producer? have ehdea'vbure 1 to omit nothing of importance and also to include much that would make the picture entertaining. Many of the scenes are actual pictorial records, and in their pr«----i sentation one is immediately aware of the progress that has been made in cinematography during..-the reign of nis Majesty. To Londoners and others, wh-i are familiar with, the great capital then.are ;many scenes which should particularly appeal.: lor instance, there are 'picture's of the new arid:old London,'and there i? a picture" of the King Js; Coronation procession. ■ The ■ great developments, in- Industry.are well, portrayed, and there aye also interesting scenes depicting."' th& cjianges in fashion' and entertainment. Events leading to the'emancipation of women are not forgotten, and the terb'ceffort of Captain' Scott in his Antarctic expedition has its proper place. Political crises, and the momentous events of July. 1914, .are well portrayed; • The Empire's history : in; : the- war is treated adequately, and the.Armistice arid post-war period are treatedi sympatlietically. The love' tho people of England feel for. their King it, well demonstrated' in-scenes during tho. King's illness, arid the joy felt' at "his rft-covery-is shoWn;in.the thanksgiving ser vice.; Through: the ; cavalcade of twentyfive years • bne : : is reminded'-.that hia Majesty was always at'the head of his people. Cavalcade," as a historical record, is of value tp the younger generation, and to the older it will recall much that they perhaps have forgotten. There is a good supporting programme, including, a, Pathe: pictorial and "The Magic Playground/ scenes at Rotbrua.- ' DE LUXE THEATRE; Hugh: Walpole's rpman tic story "Vanessa," at the De Luxe Theatre, is one of the most-delightful- picture entertainments seen for some time. It is. remarkable'alike for ■ the. superb ■ acting of: an:. exceptional cast 'and for the authentic atmosphere of the Curaberlarids and London during the reign of Queen Victoria. .Helen Hayes, Robert Montgomery, Otto! Kruger, May Robson, Lewis Stone, Henry Stephenson, and, Violet Kemble^Gooper are some of the famous stars-of stage and screeii who interpret the incident in the Herries saga that concerns Vanessa and Berijie, ; the wild cousin who returns from his roaming to fall in love with the charming daughter .of a famous house.' Their love is beset with difficulties, and there is a misunderstanding . when the/ iriafisiori is burned and a charge of cowardice is laid against Benjiej In pique he iharries' another woman, and Vanessa, learning of her misr: take; seeks him out, to apologise. She then marries Ellis, another distant relative whose incipient madness makes life a terror for Vanessa. Berijie returns from' further adventuring a free man, arid though he.and. Vanessa contemplate freedom together, the illness of Ellis takes the .'girl back to "duty. But the end,is fulfilment o£ a romance much delayed by family and fate. Helen Hayes has never been more appealing than the little Victorian girl whose "winsomeness captures a roamer; not ;bas Robert Montgomery been seen-in. any more' fitting irple than that .of Bfin3ie;:"Ott6. jKrugeV; May: Rbbsbri;, ,^nd "Lewis 'Storie provide'ininjitable'preseMta-. tibns as husbantl, graridmbther, an,d father respeotively^;,-.T;h.e supporting programing includes- a Metrotone- news, ,a Charlie Chase comed-y-, a cplourtbne.'traVjeltMk' on ''Holland;' a special jubilee film shbwiijg' 1 highlights'ofc'; thfe reign o£, King?

ST. JAMES THEATRE. Never was the truth of the old saying that deceivers weave a tangled web better exemplified than by the misfortunes' of Sonnie Hale and Robertson Hare in "Are You a Mason?" the uproarious burlesque now showing at the St. James Theatre. Their wives are the cause of their troubles. The henpecked Hare takes the part of Amos BJoodgood, whose only escape from the custody of Mrs. Bloodgood (Bertha Belmore) is his lodge, which has provided him with every Saturday night off for twenty years, and left him completely ignorant of Freemasonry, for the simple reason that he never was a Mason. Enter his son-in-law, Frank Perry (Sonnie Hale), who for divers reasons, mostly financial, decides' that he^is a Mason too, though he is as ignorant as Bloodgood. Neither knows of the other's deception and neither knows anything of Freemasonry except I that according to the encyclopaedia it employs ' signs and is surrounded by secrecy. To see the antics of the -two when1 in each other's presence is.: alone worth the price -of admission tc the theatre, and another gem is the demonstration by-, the.two heroes of, their idea of how a Mason would eat a banana. Difficulties of all. sorts arise and are swept away," only to be -replaced by more embarrassing ones, not the least of whjch is-tlie appearanceof Bloodgood's long-lost French daughter, "the " offspring: of "his youthful passion." The imbroglio that. follows is beyond description. . On the same; programme is.a stirring film review of tie reign ,prKing'George V,'a "colour cartoon, .views of ; the ; architectural wonders, bf^bld Rome,' and a newsreeU- :''':,'' MAJESTIC THEATRE, r-.' : ' For those who know of Indian frontier life- only as the-subject-raatter of novels," "The Lives of- a' Bengal Lancer," at the Majestic Theatre,1 will have-a stirring appeal. The tale is of the son of a British colonel,- '• who, fresh from Sandhurst, joined his father's division of Bengal Lancers expecting to find his father a close friend. But the. colonel insists that his son must begin at the bottom-and have no preference. The youth blunders his . way into" trouble with ran Indian, chieftain He '■■•: has ■-, two .. firm friends in" the Lancers,. who, after, pleading with the.' colonel to take immediate actiou and being refused,-take matterß in their t>-,vn hands. They." tpo are. captured and are tortured toreveal the movements of an ammunition- train.- They remain eilent," but the boy gives vway.. How the two friends saorificS themselves in order to hide" the boy's cowardice and to pnye the -Bengal. Lancers - from being wiped out brings, the film to a vivid climax. PLAZA THEATRE. A splendid'characterisation of the Duke of Wellington as he appeared iv those inspiring days of battle and manoeuvre which culminated in the , final fall of Napoleon is given by George Arliss in "The Iron Duke," now showing at the Plaza Theatre. As, this picture is • the first that this famous old actor has made under British direction, the occasion is a doubly notable one. The action lieeps very, close to the'actual historical events of the "Hundred Days" after Bonaparte's escape from Elba until his ultimate defeat at Waterloo. The picture has many famous scenes which have been.commemorated by verse and .painting, such as the ball at Brussels on: the eve of Waterloo, when the.officers withdrew;one by one to march, out to battle with their companies; the triumphant meeting of Wellington and Blucher on the battlefield; Wellington's defence of the- partition in the House of Lords; -and the final charge of the Guards at Waterloo. :.The scenes of the battle are particularly fine ones, and are. impressive of , thfe glamour and stirring ieroism p£ the warfare of a century ago. Through it aU runs the romance of Lady. Frances Webster (Lesley Wareing), lost in admiration of the great Duke,-of her husband (Walter Sondes), and of the Duchess (Ellaline Terriss). The-story, is" only partly .a"tale.of. Napoleon, teUirig mostly.of the'diplomatic, struggle of the Duke with Madaiii, daughter • of Marie Antoinette (Glcidys Cooper) '- and : the proud advisers' of the feeble Louis; XVIII (Allan Ayneaworth). .- Madam ■: does- her best ittf:discredit' the.'Duke"i and Ay ;'th'e skilful use, of an unscrupulous English reporter, -Bates . (Emlyn : Willianis), involves him in. a. scandal which his friend Ca'stlereaghf (Gyles Ishani) helps to: defeat; Ser final downfall is brought;about' by - the executibii ?of the popular, .Marshal srey,.-for. haying, gone Over to Napoleon'on lisilanding from Elba. There is another sne 'scene when' Wellington' forces -, the French King to sign » document of .banishment for his counsellors, vhile the distant strains of the • "Marßtillaise" are heard from the mob outside the palace gates—: Ai; galascy.^off i .'.f pawus .;p.erson,ag§S' wo£ the day: ,are represeated in ■ the ca«t;-sucE'as;i)'Artbis:UCarn*pb,ell..:Guiran), Blucher XFranklyij- DVall);--Ney, (Edmund \Villord)i;akUey^dSfG^b%McLaughlii}^ thej ■ Kjpg, pf ErUßsift-;.(Fiederick, Leister)', ther-Tsar ■(G^-Lawreiice),--!and'(.MetUrnicli-' X-Farrtri'-vSottttr^^A^^ne^Breet^andV.'.^. novelty .• filia;"arelafe/p.reEieiite.di: together with'a splendid review.of. the -life", of; King George,- aii'd e^isoides ?6t' his'Teigh this cbfonationv;'':!•;'■'.: '.?>;■'•- •';;/.:':-!' :-;.•'■•';.'.--* ':"'"' ■^•^ :t''^^M^»£^T^X'i ;.'■ '■;:?.-::, ;.The itbryiof ; ..^yLady. i iii principal\;,filpi\^.shicjvitiKv;^-.;-' .„:Stale■Th'fea]fcrei?.!if i ;;tbyi.-B.en:(;^a^Msj.?;:^v^ knows .^ties--/J^tv":^w."'^fTO^',-^£iß';i.jjenf^''bji|J it.-^l^(^V/f^iia''<i^|4^''-'?P^v':'''^':''':^'9]^ Wall? -diid.^^nn.e'y-;^^aud:>to'''. vdo;.;^ic;. briUiarice; juptipß,:■■;;Toni~'\yalls; 13 superb; his actipgi hift -Ipleyer "yhanaiihgyof tricS^^^: sijtuationsi-; iarid.'subtlg-dialb^dl:!!,!.'^ ''ibutiil^le.^^^e■itaye^ : ;.t^'e:^j^V^'tifi^^£|' 'li^m^;vtoV.gQ^.^o;''^6.i>'lii^.;Smi;^))if Ardenbiutgi'Qti: ;b^ir^s'iand, fifidS mnJselE iajitheiiaids^.-qf^a teyolutibn ahd*w':jSn.a?ly iprced^tbx^smijggle . t tlie;> .Qu le^;:*:'!p'yeV w /tb;e border,? and-iurtie^o^ Bttgljin.d'''sah<i»:hide!b,er:iway,;'in' His.cpttag^ in^tho" country;.*'".t|itfortfinattily,;tjifey'-stbp fittviroute?,. $- bja ■ in j L6fldqn;';,and' are :ai^VeriM-.tb.er'e'syS.Hb?:-fiHi>c^J.'';;Bß^^^ fifieaij to'iJ^teii ,'^^^^'.-^"a^ii^..l>e^^.'-jri^p]beii^aß^ 'aljid^ripiMlyiiifTOe'ijQueeni^ i^o..,fbr:v«}e moat pattij Ye^",taticn*on; jbeK.royal-difr b^isdbbstertitmostttb kefep'Tpm.-Walte in;vvlm?paace,L\^jiit>lier.';.- tiwci^eeaßefM' Ulirtbur v! lriijikei :>b'er - ■succnmbi.to. \ibp> rniscliievbtiafandii^fiit'^ersobaUty^,':.«-; ■■';]^or mow V^KP^jngj-B^^^W^tfeen. ■;m'en.:.arfd i:;iri^ gtQiipa -Mvio^JimarKed'iar^KindustryT-tJi^S tfesev-wbjbh^haye,, beea;part oflthe ~getpng jraV'of'^tbe'f.wbrldVQ^^P^'^A^'W^M' phbtoplay.v''TKb^o;manjJ :SJ3olei"iMich: iißSHoyir-:('-be%g^1scre6B^Wi'.8li.;-.;i'ihe'-vRb?gr..'

Theatre. Miss Moore's .role, is that of a young girl who goes to Italy to study for an operatic career. There she meets a romantic, . debonair music teacher, splendidly interpreted by lullio Carminati, who immediately offers to. develop her for the Metropolitan in New York, but with one reservation—that their association remain untarnished-'- by even the slightest 'suggestion of a love affair, - Miss Moore wins the acclaim- of i.iirope and America for her glorious voice, out finds, fame surprisingly empty without I the love and caresses of her music:teacher. In a fit of temper she leaves.Carminati. Bui without his presence she is unable to sing. The climactic scene \^diere Miss Moore stands on the stage of the Metropolitan to sing an enchanting aria,'is-one of., subtle sentiment, The associate. attraction, "IVe Got Your i Number," has been specially selected as an ideal supporting, picture.. Joan—BloiidaH is given unusual opportunity, not only to carry off in her breezy style lively comedy/ situations, ■twit to demonstrate emotional.and.dramatic talent.- She is ably, supported by' 'Pat .0 Brien, Glenda .
