PRINCE EDWARD
“ZERO” The great majority of marriages prove perfectly satisfactory, but there aro some who find the marriage tie unendurable. In Collinson Owen’s famous novel, “Zero,” which lias been adapted for the screen and is now at the Prince Edward Theatre, two unhappy mariages are indicated, that of Julia Norton (portrayed by Pay Compton), and John Garth (characterised by Stewart Rome). The former, after a violent quarrel with her elderly and unsympathetic husband, leaves him, determined never to return. John Garth contents himself with the longing for an opportunity to commence life again at zero. When the chance does occur, he finds that the past cannot be buried so easily. “The Wife’s Relations,” the second picture on the programme, is a delightful comedy of domestic worries starring Shirley Mason.
