GRAND THEATRE

TO-NIGHT. The colour and splendour of one of t'he country-,s greatest military

nteresting drama which opened at the Srand Theatre last night. . Much of the picture was filmed at fiie Culver Military Academy in Inliana and there are inspiring scenes af almost a thousand cadets marching as units of infantry, artillery and ;avalry. In these picturesque sur-L-oundings is told a story which is always fill'ed with interest, and at times with a quality of drama that grips the spectator. Tom BrOwn a young man of 19, plays the title role, and he acquits himself in a manner which • stamps him as an actor of unusual ability. H. B. Warner is, as always, exeellent in his role as the boy's father, and Slim Summ'ervi'lle is his usual jovial self as the ex-s'ergeant who is still re-liv-ing his part in the Great War. Others who do good work are Ben Alexander, Richard Cromwell, Tyrone Power, jun., Dick Winslow, Kit Guard, Sidney Toler, Willard Robertson-, and Dick Winslow, while William Wyler must be credited with an outstanding job as the director of the picture. "Tom. Brown of Culver" is an unusually fine picture, and one which the public will enjoy to the utmost.
