BETTY BALFOUR AND STUART ROME IN “REVEILLE.” ALL-BRITISH FILM TO-NIGIIT. The all-British production ‘‘Reveille” with Betty Balfour and Stuart Rome and a typical English cast, will be the big feature showing at Everybody's ' to-night. September, 3918. The- Great War is nearing its close, and London is a whirlpool of hectic, artificial gaiety. Happy laughter, wild laughter, hollow laughter. Any laughter rather than the laughter of guns spitting death in Flanders. But, above all, the laughter of the flappers, who live for one end only. The boys who arc back on a few. days’ leave. Give them a good time.” These words typify the atmosphere and spirit in which “Reveille” opens. “Reveille” is a picture of heroism and of heroic pathos, of. the hysteria and abandon, of war, and of the failures of peace. It is the story of “Nutty,” who enters Armageddon a working man, but an idealist: and who—after the war—passes bitterly into* the Valley of Disillusion and Hate. It is the story of. “Whelks,.’’' the cockney ex-soldier, late: humorist of his regiment, penniless and helpless, beloved by all. It is the story of “Mick,” the heroic little fairy, flapper, and of many other humble folk who have their counterparts in every city. In addition the pick of supports. Bfox plan at Tattersall and Bayly’s.
