A THOMAS H. INCH FEATURE

MONDAY

“The Cup" of Life” starring Hohart Bosworth, is Thomas H. luce’s latest special production for the Associated Producers, which will he featured at the Princess Theatre on Monday. It s both a colourful romance of Singapore and' i-c East Indies and a tense Stirling drama which evolves around the racial dividing lino between Oriental and Occidental. From both an artistic and a dramatic stand-point, “The Cup of Life” satisfies the most critical demands. The supporting cast includes Madge Bellamy, Niles Welch and Tally Marshall; the Oriental splendour and beauty of the settings and cosscquences which command the interest of the spectator. The original story by Carry Wilson is one of the finest of its kind, and as a picture offering, it is little short of magnificent. The supports include Pathc gazette.
