RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM

• “TIME TO LOVE” “Time to Love,” Raymond Griffith’s new Paramount farce, will be shown at the Rialto and Regent Theatres for the last time to-night. Like all other Griffith pictures, “Time to Love” is satirical comedy, the sort of thing Ray can do just a bit better than any man on the screen. Ray is introduced as a chap disillusioned in love. Wishing to end it all, he jumps from a bridge and lands unhurt in a boat. Glaaacing up, imagining himself in heaven, he sees the most beautiful girl in the world. Of course, they fall in love with each other. Clouds appear on the horizon, however, when the girl’s father affiances her to Ray’s friend, Marquis D’Dado. Thinking she doesn’t love him any more, Ray offers to fight a duel with B’Bado, allows himself to be “killed,” and leaves France. “Tfce Flame of the Yukon,” featuring Seena Owen and Arnold Gray, will also be screened.

Master latest All-British screen triumph, “Blighty,” is a powerful story with drama and romance cleverly interwoven. Super-imposed, as it were, upon the background of war—war without a battle scene—are two love romances. Lilian Hall Davis, Ellaline Terriss and Jameson Thomas are in the principal roles, and their interpretations of parts are excellent. When “Blighty” wa? reviewed by head office officials at the censorship office they pronounced it greater than “Mademoiselle from Armentieres.” It is a sincere attempt to add to the progressive movement in British pictures, and will achieve undoubted success throughout Australia and New Zea land*
