THREE-ACT BARRIE PLAY IS BOOKED FOR CRYSTAL.

At Crystal Palace to-night " Such Men are Dangerous ” will be screened for the last time.

A tliree-a' Lady Shows Her Medals,” will be presented at Crystal Palace Theatre next week under the title " Seven Days Leave.” Produced as an all-talkie, played by a cast who, with the exception of the star. Gary Cooper, are all Londonborn (and Cooper himself was educated at an English public school), and now presented to the public with the sign and seal of Sir James’s approval, this picture will ultimately come to be recognised as one of those early talkies which pointed the way which future productions would follow. The story is uninvolved, is romantic without having the semblance of a romantic love story, and is purely and typically Barrie, who, around a seemingly slender theme, has woven a very masterpiece of patriotism and sentiment, ending on a climax that is extremely likely, even if it does sin against that arch-sin, sentimentality. Indications point to a big season, so seats should be reserved at The Bristol Piano Company without delay.
