KING’S THEATRE
GRACIE FIELDS IN “SHIPYARD SALLY”: MUSICAL SUCCESS The great British shipyards at Clydebank, Scotland, are the setting for Grade Fields’ latest comedy film, "Shipyard Sally,” now showing at the King’s Theatre. Grade is starred with Sydney Howard. These are the yards where the great trans-Atlantic liners were built—the Queen Mary, the Queen Elizabeth, the Aquitania, and other famous ships. In fact, the film opens with the scene of Queen Elizabeth christening and launching the newest of the liners, named after herself. The story is based on actual fact. When depression came and the yards closed down, throwing many thousands out of work, hardship was acute until there arose one who journeyed to London and persuaded the Government and the directors to resume work.
