DRAMA OF FAMILY LIFE

FINE PICTURE FOR ST. JAMES With two of the outstanding players of to-day together in what Hollywood has termed “ the season’s perfect cast,” the most distinguished drama of family life of the year, Ursula Parrott’s ‘ There’s Always To-morrow,’ comes to the St. James on Friday. It features Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes, and marks the American film debut of the fascinating second wife of ‘Private Life of Henry VIII.’ The story by Ursula Parrott pictures two years in the life of a typical father of five children whose sole function seems to bo that of providing a “ meal ticket.” The existence of the family is tranquil until a girl who understands the husbandfather re-enters his life. Gay and hilarious in its earlier reels, the picture builds to one of the most tense situations created on the screen in some time. In addition to Morgan and Binnie Barnes, the cast includes Lois Wilson, as the wife, Louise Latimer, Universal’s latest importation from Broadway, Elizabeth Young, who won distinction with Garbo in ‘Queen Christina,’ Robert Taylor, Alan Hale, Maurice Murphy, Dick Winslow, Helen Parrish, and the noted New York comedienne, Margaret Hamilton. The film, which is said to be one of the most wholesome of the year, derives its sparkling, buoyant humour from the counterplay in a typical home.
