DUCHESS THEATRE

The magnificent drama, “The World Moves On,” will commence a two-day season at the Duchess Theatre to-night. It tells a gripping story of the varying fortunes of a typical American family during the past three decades. It shows with vivid effect the bewildering problems which beset the average family and portrays the present state of militarist Europe with convincing realism. The audience is shown the horror and disaster of the Great War, the subsequent prosperity, a fid the overwhelming fear of another more terrible conflict. However, the many deft human touches and the excellence of the acting prevent the film from becoming a heavy drama. The picture gains its distinction from the outstanding performances of the loading players, Madeleine Carroll and Franchot Tone. Heading a strong supporting cast are Reginald Denny, Louise Dresser and Raul Roulien. material upon which historians, novelists, poets and playwrights have written almost without end, and such also is the source of a triumph for the screen under the guiding hand of Cecil de Mille, whose lavishly-produced his torical dramas have made his name famous. “Cleopatra,” with Claudette Colbert in the title role, Warren William as Julius Caesar and Henry Wilcoxon as Marc Antony, will begin at the Regent Theatre on Friday.
