In “The Road to Yesterday,” the feature attraction on the new programme at Everybody’s, Cecil de Mille, the producer, has given to the screen a basically sound story, founded on a baffling scientific mystery, presented in an imaginative, intriguing and romantic manner. Joseph Schildkraut and Jetta Goudal, featured in the leading roles, are a young married couple honeymooning at a Grand Canyon hotel. Verj Reynolds, a young flapper accompanied by her aunt, Trixie Friganza, and her rich fiancee, Casson Ferguson, falls in love with William Boyd, a young minister, and breaks her engagement. In this modern setting De Mille deftly portrays the inexplainable complexes and reactions of his characters towards one another. He then takes them all back to their life of long ago—to medieval England of the early seventeenth century, and shows how they lived and loved and fought and hated and died in this life of long ago, and how it affected their modern existence. An added attraction is the P.D.C. feature “Chalkmarks,” with Marguerite Snow and June Elvidge heading the cast. This exceptional double programme shows again to-night and to-morrow night. FULLERS’ REVUE COMPANY. TO-MORROW NIGHT. The Gayle Wyer Revue and Musical Comedy Company will commence a four nights’ season at the Opera House tomorrow evening.
