EVERYBODY'S.

“THE GREAT LOVE,” FRIDAY

Queen Alexandra, who is the first member of any Royal family in the world to appear in a photo-drama, having performed in D. W. Griffiths’ Paramount masterpiece, “The Great Love,” is an enthusiastic motion picture fan. She has a box reserved for her at a little cinema in the West End of London, and is a frequent, attendant at first-night showings. When Mr. Griffith was in London and had been approached by the War Office to produce a film showing the death of class hatred in England owing to the war, Queen Alexandra was one of the first to volunteer her services and to state that she would be pleased to appear in the film. The title, “The Great Love,” was selected as being in most harmonic accord with the nature of the film, which shows the passing of the butterfly life of social England. ’•The Great Love” will be screened at Everybody’s Theatre commencing at the matinee at 2.30 to-morrow It was the first photo-play Mr. Griffith produced after completing “Hearts of the World.” The evening programme will also present the “Four Square” special production “One Hour,” featuring Zena Keefe, the tremendous sequel to Elinor Glyn’s “Three Weeks.” The box plans are at Collier’s.
