OLD LONDON HORSE BUS
A real relic of old London is shown In the film, “Every Mother’s Son,” which comes to the Strand Theatre on Friday. This is in the form of one of the first horse-drawn omnibuses. It has not carried passengers on the London streets for the last fifty years. It was only brought out from its long retirement to give the exact atmosphere to a part of the film representing a scene in London many years ago. It is indeed a quaint sight to see Slumbers of men in their odd-looking suits of the time, and women in bustles, waiting for and eventually clambering on to an old horse-drawn bus. “Every Mother’s Son” is said to be the great British film triumph of the century. It is based on the theme of the Unknown Warrior*
