SUPER PICTURE IS BIG DRAW AT GRAND THEATRE.
When Warwick Deeping's novel, “Sorrell and Son,” was published, it was acclaimed a masterpiece and the writer’s most popular story. The film adaptation, which is now being shown for the second week at the Grand Theatre, is no less a success. Powerful in theme, and with picturesque English settings, the picture has been handled in a masterly fashion by the producer. Mr Herbert Bren on. The story is based on wonderful father love and son devotion, a story of England during the post-war period, when heroes came home to find their jobs taken and faced with the necessity of accepting the most mental tasks to support themselves and their families. H. B. Warner, who plays the part of the father, gives a wonderful portrayal. The supporting cast is splendid and an equal share of credit is due to Nils Asther, Norman Trevor, Anna Q. Nilsson, Alice Joyce and Carmel Myers. Micky M’Ban. who plays the part of Kit in his boyhood, gives a talented exhibition of acting The Grand Quality Orchestra plays a fine programme of incidental music under the direction of Mrs Kennedy Black.
