“SORRELL AND SON” AT GRAND
The struggles of army officers who fount! themselves out of work when they returned to England after the Armistice forms the foundation on which Warwick Deeping built his book, “Sorrell and Son,” the film adaptation of which will be shown at the Grand Theatre to-night. When Captain Sorrell, M.C. (H B Warner) returned to find his former position filled, and that his wife had deserted him for a wealthy profiteer, he commenced a struggle against odds which would have dragged down a less sturdy character. Sorrell soon learnt that glory won in battle was of little use in post-war England, and he was forced into the menial position of hotel porter to enable his only son Kit to take the place in life, that was his by birth. Sorrell, however, never lost heart and, in the end, had the satisfaction of knowing that Kit was the most promising surgeon in England. He had triumphed. “The Cardboard Lover,” Marion Davies’s story of the smart set at Monte Carlo, is the second picture.
