CRYSTAL PALACE AND WEST END
“Seven Lays* Leave,” starring Gary Cooper, is now at both the Crystal Palace Theatre, Mount Eden, and West End Theatre, Ponsonby Road. Here is a picture whose story is entirely new to picturegoers. It is the story of a childless London widow's adoption of an orphaned Canadian soldier boy during the dark days of the great world conflict. There is no “boy and girl love” in the play. Yet here is a picture that will doubtless rank with the most famous of the new show world for its human, poignant drama. Cooper appears throughout the play —which is based on Sir James M. Barrie’s stage success, “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals” —in the kilts and bonnet of a Highlander of the Canadian Black Watch Regiment. He creates a new hero role for talking screen enthusiasts and particularly for his admirers.
