“WILL THEY NEVER COME ?"
' 10-night at the King’s Theatre the big Australasian success, “Will They Never Comer’ will be unrolded. Judging by the furore the film drama has created throughout Australia and the Dominion, and the fact that New Zealand's Governor (the Earl of Liverpool),* the Alin is ter of Defence, and the Prime Minister, have bestowed their official patronage upon it, patrons may expect something of special jpierit. It is claimed for this patriotic play that quite apart from its proved power to attract overflow - ,mg attendances it has done a great deal towards assisting the cause of recruiting throughout the Dominion. It was produced with the permission and patronage of the Commonwealth Government, which permitted 10,000 of the Australian Contingent to apjiear in it. The march through Sydney, and the departure of the troops fer Egypt en route to the seat of war is spoken of as a very fine section that arouses genuine enUiusiasm. The plot discloses a powerful story of noble devotion to duty, contrasted with the love of the thoughtless minded for mere pastime and pleasure. The strong list of supporting films include: ‘‘Brilliant French Victory in the Vosges" (official war film of a big battle). “Her Winning Trick’’ (comedy), and the most recent “War Topical.”
