STRAND
“ALL QUIET” TOMORROW The current programme at the Strand Theatre will have its final presentation there this evening. This includes “Dance Hall,” an indictment of modern jazz youth, starring Olive Borden, and “The Great Divide,” a tale of the modern West, starring Dorothy Mackaill. From tomorrow the Strand will screen the film adaptation of the great war book, “All Quiet on the Western Front.” The battle scenes of “All Quiet,” in which more than 2,000 soldiers, war veterans of all nationalities, participated, are the most spectacular and yet the most genuine ever pictured. They are the war as it actually was fought and not as sideline observers imagined it. The story opens with Paul and his comrades enlisting in the hysteria of patriotism, and carries on as one after the other is killed. As the book is outspoken so is the picture. Through all the stark realism of war and the shattering of the lives and illusions of Remarque’s runs the golden thread of human understanding and true comradeship.
