of Empire during the momentous quarter century reign of His Majesty King George A’.. conimence s to-night •it the Regent Theatre, and will be shown at to-morrow’s matinee and

Donal Pictures’ “ Royal Cavalcade.’ produced to commemorate the Silvei Jubilee of. His Majesty’s reign, must be numbered among them. For this magnificent screen drama, brilliantly enacted by a. colossal cast of England s leading stage ami screen artists, gloriously recreating the stirring cavalcade of Empire events during this momentous quarter century in the story of the Empire, has won unbounded praise and admiration. The press of England and Aust: alia are unanimous in their plaudits but perhaps the greatest, of all tributes paid J was by one leading film critic, who wrote; “It is indeed 'worthy of its mammoth and memorable subject.” “Royal Cavalcade” offers more, far more than entertainment of the highest standard—it. is a reve'ation of Empire affairs that will thrill every British heart with pride. The producers have devised a most unique method of linking the historical events together in an intensely human story. We visit the mint and see millions of coins stamped with the image of the new King. One of these coins, a bright new penny, reappears on the ‘•ounter of a London tavern, where King George’s health is drunk by a small group of his loyal subjects. Against an ever-changing background supplied by the current tunes, dances, catch-words and news items that characterised each phase of this eventful quarter century, .we follow the fortunes of this penny of the year 1911. right through -to the present day.
