“SORRELL AND SON”
REACHING AUCKLAND SOON “Sorrell and Son,” the screen version of Warwick Leeping’s famous novel, is to be screened shortly in Auckland. H. B. Warner, Anna Q. Nilsson, Alice Joyce, Nils Asther, Carmel Myers, Mary Nolan, Norman Trevor, Betsy Ann Hisle, Mickey Mcßann, are some of the artists who share honours in this United Artists’ production. “Sorrell and Son” is a story of father love and son devotion, a story of England during the post-war period, when heroes came home, only to find their peace-time jobs appropriated by stay-at-homes, and facing the necessity of working in the most menial tasks to support themselves and families. “Captain Stephen Sorrell” was one of the heroes. Not only was his job gone when he returned to London after the Armistice, but his wife was faithless. Left with a young son as his wife deserts him for a wealthy profiteer, “Sofrell” works as a hotel porter in order to educate the lad and give him a chance in life.
