GRAND
“MONS” One of the things that make "Mons" the remarkable picture that it is, is the rich strain of humanness and humour apparent throughout the entire production. Even in the battle scenes humour will break through the sunshine behind the grim war clouds—and the picture simply abounds with soldierly wit, comedy and humanness, that goes straight to the heart of the spectator. Facts which have been sought concerning the famous retreat from Mons go to prove that the indomitable British spirit was frequently allied with merriment in the very face of death—and that in many cases it was only the Englishman’s inherited sense of humour which carried him on. “Mons” is an production and will be shown at the Grand Theatre to-morrow, in addition to “Topsy and Eva.”
