THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY ” TO-NIGHT.

Once ni{ain tin; rent Cecil li. Be Alii lo has struck out of the lion to n jintli of motion picture production, and travelled over “ Tlie Road to Yesterday.” And lie lias not travelled alone, lie has gathered his public unto him, and taken them along—in droves and swarms. In his latest Producers Disbuting Corporation release, personally directed and independently produced )>v him. which will ho shown to-ni^ht at the Princess Theatre, this peer among directors has given us a picture production to ponder over. The story starts in a modern setting. lie has taken his characters Irom among us. \Yc immediately are on a par with them, sharing their loves and hates. Then .suddenly, yet so imperceptibly that it is almost dreamlike, he carries the story hack to medieval Ragland in the early seventeenth century. Here we find the same characters', living and loving, lighting and hating. They are the same, yet they are so vastly different. 'I lie young bride of the present day appears as a wantonly eaptia ting gipsy girl-of medieval times; the gilded millionaire youth, whom we left submerged in the smoke of a train crash, appears again as a poor, browbeaten, intern taphov. in “The Road to Yesterday” Do -Milie has given to the public a picture worthy of his mighty genius; worthy of the directorial genius; worthy of the east which features Joseph Sehiklkraut, Jetfa Gouda). Vera Reynolds. William lioyd. and Julia Kaye ; and meriting the adaptation bv Jennie Maepherson and Beulah .Marie Dix. Special prices to-night, viz.. Circle 2s. stalls Is (id, children under 12 lid.
