TO-NIGHT.

TO-NIGHT.

The wonder picture “Cavalcade” will conclude ' this evening at the Princess Theatre. This wonder play | appeals to pretty nearly every einotio'n j to which the human heart is susceptible. That is the principal reason why it was selected by a Hollywood film company for production as a super-picture. Costing move than a million dollars (about £300,000 at present rates bf exchange) ■ portraying ' scenes in which as many as 5,000 “extras” ai'e employed, and utilising specially built “9ets” costing approximately £BO,OOO. “Cavalcade” is the most ambitious screen entertainment ever undertaken anywhere. “Cavalcade” tells of a mother's protective instincts frustrated, by the , chauvinistic policies of governments, which lead f 0 war and then fatten on the patriotism and adventurous spirits l of the youth of the nation. Noel Co\yard, its author, contrived to focus these . .emotions and their inevitable developments ove r the generation, more than three decades, squarely on to the hearthstone of a single family ..in London. It wilj -give to the 250,000,000 English speaking people of the worldthe .finest picture of English', ideals and •customs /over cbnveyed through any) single medium. {
