vik. In this pulse-stirring story of dare-devil adventure, patrons will see Britain's might. It is a spy drama of the sea, in glorious natural colours; a story of fiction, certainly, with not a hint of propaganda, yet made with the full co-,operation of the British Admiralty, a fact which ensures the authenticity of its backgrounds, the Royal Navy and Dartsmouth Naval College, where cadets play their real life roles for the film. Featurettes include the Overseas News with special views of the late “Cobber” Kain and exciting scenes from the naval engagement of Narvik; a scenic of England’s countryside is a gem, and the Pathe Pictorial gives all that is best in variety. COMMENCING SATURDAY, July 20: “GULLIVER’S TRAVELS.” the eag-erly-awaited feature length all-col-our cartoon fantasy which has taken New Zealand by storm. j
