PRINCESS THEATRE.
Only once in a long time there comes to the screen a picture of such vital import, gripping power, and amazing human interest, as the cosmopolitan attraction, "Oil for the Lamps of China," which is the leading attraction at the Princess Theatre. The picture is even more enthralling than the best selling novel by Alice Tisdale Hobart, upon which it is based. It has originality of plot, a colourful and intriguing background, and a romance as understandable as it is beautiful. Pat O'Brien, Josephine Hutchinson, and Jean Muir head the cast. A brilliant subject portrayed by a perfect cast —such is "Sorrell and Son," the talking picture version of Warwick Deeping's famous story, which is presented as the additional feature. Sorrell is played by H. B. Warner, who was brought specially from Hollywood to re-create for the talking screen the character he portrayed so movingly in the silent film version of the story six years ago. The programme includes some excellent short subjects.
