LONDON
“SEVEN DAYS LEAVE” “Seven Days’ Leave,” a story of London in wartime, and starring Gary Cooper, is the attraction at the London Theatre. Here is a picture whose story content 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 wi£h 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 Show's Her Medals” —in the kilts arid 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. It is a sympathetic role, endowed with all the rich whimsy of Barrie’s literary original.
