"THE YOUNG IN HEART."
TWO SESSIONS AT PLAZA TO-DAY. "The Young in Heart," a dashing film of a gay devil-may-care family, will be shown finally at the Plaza Theatre, Stratford, at 1.30 and 8 p.m. to-day. With war filling the pages of newspapers, the dramatic re-creation of a memorable incident of the last World War when Russian and Austrian soldiers faced each other across No Man's Land on Christmas Night and sang the hymn, "Silent Night," is one of the^ most effective sequences in "Balalaika," the spectacular musical which will commence a season at the Plaza Theatre to-morrow at 1.30 and 8 p.m., with Nelson Eddy and Ilona Massey as the stars. The war incident was reproduced with absolute authenticity under the technical guidance of Count Andrev Tolstoy, a former officer of the Czar who fought with the Russian troops. "Balalaika" is a story of Old Russia before,' during and after the revolution. It is based on the London stage musical success by Eric Maschwitz and is one of the most elaborate productions in which Nelson .Eddy has appeared.
