DE LUXE THEATRE.

There havo been many pictures having as their basis the Great War, each dealing with some particular phase. One nas told of the lifo of an airman, another of the driver of a tank, while yet another lias dealt with the actual life of the soldier in the trenches of Flanders, but it has been left for "Behind the Front," now. screening each evening at the De Luxo Theatre, to tell of the real humours that beset the path of the soldier on active service. Those who were not privileged to take even a minor part in the Great War cannot realise that the soldier could rise to heights of joyousness under the appalling conditions in which he was living at the time, but it was this ability to make the best of everything and to see humour in a situation that under other conditions would have appear^ ed to be tragic, that helped him through.. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton make the most of the chief characters, and Mary Brian is a delightful worker for the cause of humanity behind the lines. The Gazette is right up to the minute, and includes views of Alan Cobham's arrival' at Sydney at the end of his world flight. Another picture that cannot help but appeal to the lover of athletics is that dealing with the life of Jack Hobbs, the Surrey crfcket marvel. The musical programme has been arranged t by Miss Bryers.
