CRYSTAL PALACE, MT. EDEN
The merit of “Splinters.” which is now at the Crystal Palace Theatre, lies in its having captured the heart of the singing soldier. The humour and sentiment and drama contained in the picture are proof positive and joyous that, in reality as well as by repute. old soldiers never die, and" that the insinuation about their fading away is a libel. “Splinters” is grand stuff, but not enough. One cannot remember any other picture so happily leaving one with an appetite for more. There is sheer joy in every foot of its length. Although rich in comedy, a very great part of the virtue of this picture is the singing of the men in chorus. That is rousing and inspiring, and will prove unforgettable to many. The programme at the Crystal Palace also includes “Love Comes Along.” a beautiful romantic story of South America, starring Bebe Daniels.
