GRAND
“SORRELL AND SON” "The spirit and beauty of rural Eng- j land,” writes a well-known critic, "has j been perfectly captured in ‘Sorrell and ' Son,’ ” the United Artists’ production ■ which is now enjoying a successful season at the Grand Theatre. Based on the novel of the same name by Warwick Deeping, the celebrated English author, the story of a father's love and sacrifice for his son, and the son’s devotion to his afther, is told with an utter absence of sentimentality, but with a pathos that is very close to tears throughout. The return • from the war of Captain Stephen SorI rell, only, to find that his wife has dei sorted him; and his bitter fight with i life to provide his son with a gentle- •: man’s education, provides a main | theme of deep tragedy, while the later scenes showing the romances of the | adult Kit Morrell provide a well-bal- ! anced relief.
