PREES WEDNESDAY JUNE 231D, 1926"
LONDON'S MAY SUNSHINE. WARMEST DAY OF YEAR. CRICKET STOPPED BY RAIN.
While London and the South of Eng land generally revelled in the brilliant sunshine of the hottest day of this belat ed summer, other parts of the country" wero swept with thunderstorms and heavy rain. In the Midlands and North four first-class cricket matches had to be abandoned, says the Daily Telegraph of. May 27th
Although beautiful weather favoured the opening of the game between York shire and Warwickshire at Edgbaston, a storm broke over the ground just be fore three o'clock: Cricket was resumed after a long wait, but further rain fell, there being less than three hours' play in the course of the day. At Northampton, where Northamptonshiro were meeting Derbyshire, the downpour, was so heavy that the wicket was soon under water, and at twenty minutes to five play was abandoned. There were several inter- ruptions in the match at Leicester, where Surrey made a good start against the home country, and there was no more play after five o'clock. Manchestor fared even worse, for play. in the match be tween Lancashire and Kent was not pos sible after the luncheon interval. Late in the day the weather turned very dull at Bristol, where the Australians are opposing the South of England, and a successful appeal was made against the light.
Violent thunderstorms were experienced in East and Mid-Cheshire also in the afternoon, and high winds did much damage to orchards. The thunder was vory heavy, and the rain came down in torrents, flooding the roads and streets. Cricket, bowling, and other matches were stopped in many centres; and great inconvenience was caused to camping parties.
In London, however, 70deg. in the shade were registered at Kaw, which passed the highest reading of the pre- vious day by 3deg. Although the tem paratures were slightly lower round the coast, the greater part of England was on May 20th basking in glorious aun- shine, with thermometer readings well Pabove the average for this week in the
year, which is just over 63deg,
DEATH FROM HEAT.
Edward Thatcher, aged 48; of Isling ton, a newspaper seller and potman, was passing the Red Cow public house, op- posite Smithield Market, on May 28th, when he collapsed. A policeman went to his aid, and he was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but he died in a few minutes. Death was attributed to the heat and a weak heart. Thatcher leaves a widow and family.

LILLIAN GISH
IN
"ROMOLA"
WITH
DOROTHY
GISH.
“ROMOLA” is founded on the novel by George Eliot dealing with the vibrant, pulsat- ing life of the Italian Renaissance in Florence, when that city was in her golden age; the age of the splendid do Medicis and of the martyred reformer, SAVONAROLA.
"Romola" represents the art of the cinema in its highest form. We have not a single Buggestion to make whereby the film might be improved in any way. It is a perfect product.
HARBIETTE UNDERHILL in Herald-Tribune.
We recommend "Romola" as one of the finest photoplays as regards direction, acting, The acting of Lillian Gish as Romola was photography, and story. we have ever seen. exquisite, like a cameo come to life. Certainly it stamps her, without question, as the leading actress of the screen.
An artistic triumph.
STEPHEN RATHEUN in The Sun.
DOROTHY HERZOG in The Daily Mirror.
"Romola" for sheer beauty, is perfect, just about perfect. If you don't like Romola I'm ashamed of you. It is a beautiful example of what the screen nceds.
THEATRE and. DRAMA.
The settings are something to marvel at and no less impressive are the exteriors. At times the photography is of such excellence that it appears to have depth. There are views in the sun-shine and others tinted for moonlight which would awaken enthusiasm in the heart of any artist. An entrancing story.
