EVERYBODY’S

“THE FLAG LIEUTENANT” “The Flag Lieutenant,” the British naval film at Everybody's Theatre, boasts of an Australian actress in the cast. She is Dorothy Seacombe, who is well-kno-wn on the Australian stage. She plays the part of Mrs. Cameron, a pretty young widow in the picture, which has been produced with the whole-hearted support of the British Admiralty. Dick Lascelles, flag-lieutenant R.N., is in love with Sybil Wynne, daughter of his admiral. His friend Major Thesiger, Royal Marines, is enamoured of a Mrs. Cameron, a wealthy widow, but is too shy to declare his affection. Both men are detailed to the assistance of <i military outpost which has been suddenly attacked. The fort is finally saved through the heroism of Lascelles, who, unknown to anyone, carries out a scheme of Thesiger’s, who is wounded in the attempt, losing his memory. Lascelles is missed and Thesiger is hailed as the real hero, and Dick refuses to disclose his part in the affair, swearing to secrecy the naval doctor, who was the only other man aware of it. Even when disgrace threatens, he refuses to tell, but through Mrs. Cameron, now Thesiger’s wife, the truth is disclosed to all except Thesiger. Henry Edwards, Fred Raynham and Lilian Oldland are the other players.
