DE LUXE THEATRE.

There have boer. many pictures having us their basis the Great War, ouch dealing with some particular • phase. One has told- of tho life of an airman, another of the driver of a- tank, while yet another hns dealt with the actual life of the soldier in the trenches of-Fland-ers, but it lias been left for "Behind the Front," now screening each evening at the Do 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 joyousugss 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 appeared to be tragic, that helped him through. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton make tho most of tho 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 cricket marvel. The musical programme has been arranged by Miss Bryers.
