STORY OF NEW BRITISH COMEDY FILM TRIUMPH WAS SMUGGLED TO ENGLAND FROM THE CONTINENT. "The Good Soldier Schweik" has already been made almost a household word in this country through a Penguin best-seller. Famous Czech humorist Hasek wrote during the last war a number of delightful sketches dealing with one Schweik, a soldier forced to fight in the Austro-Hungarian army. A new book about him was recently published in Prague. Under the title of "How to Speak German Correctly," it sold in thousands. Inside appeared further adventures of Schweik against the Gestapo. A copy was smuggled to England, and Eden Films have maac a comedy blitzkrieg of the adventures, full of thrilling and fastmoving incidents. Played by Lloyd Pearson, Schw-:'k's best weapon is humour, a.->d with this he attacks the German at his weakest point. This famous film arrives at the Opera House Friday next, March 2.—Advt.
