A really big “after-war’ picture, one that is really different, is “The Common Cause,” to-night’s star attraction, the Blackton superfeature starring Sylvia Breamer and Herbert Rawlinson and no fewer than ten other great stars. The story of a love new born on the battlefields divides honours with scintillating comedy, at the hands of Lawrence Grossmith, England’s popular humourist, who makes his screen debut here. The presentation is graphically vivid, while the pathos is delightfully intermingled with the humour that was most irrepressible in- the face of danger. On Monday a double feature Fox programme will be screened. The one in which Gladys Brock well plays the leading role, “The Mother of Ilis Children,” is from the pen of Barbara Le Marr Deely. It is a stirring drama of high life in Paris intermingled with the subtle charm of Orientalism. In this the star has demonstrated again her right to the title “the girl of a thousand expressions.” As an Arabian Princess, Yve, Miss Broekwell is said to give an impersonal ion of great beauty and passionate force. The other feature film, “Love's Harvest,” is from the successful novel, “His Harvest,” by Pearl Holes Bell, of which the critics have said: “It is a story of living characters, natural, human and vitally interesting. The character of the heroine is irresistible quaintly philosophic,' delightfully original, and altogether lovable.” And many have said that this description aptly fits Miss Mason herself.
