DUCHESS THEATRE
“FOUR FEATHERS” “Four Feathers,” screening to-night at the Duchess Theatre, is the story of the young English officer who resigns his commission because he knows that he is a coward, that he could not stand war. He is branded a coward by his friends in his regiment, who send him white feathers, and is rebuffed by his fiancee. To retrieve his honour and reputation he sets out for Egypt, where Kitchener is embarking on the Sudan campaign. There he undertakes the horrible disguise of a branded Sengali, poses as a dumb native and undertakes adventures of heroism and dare-devilry which help the army win the battle of Omdurman and which save his friends from death at the hands of the Mahdi’s soldiers. Ralph Richardson, John Clements and Aubry Smith head the cast.
