The picture paints in fiery drama the fight of Florence Nightingale I wealthy English society girl, to remedy conditions in army field hospitals and the neglect of dying soldiers. All the battlefeld is pictured in the film, as well as the beauty of the life of sacrifices of Florence Nightingale rne her specially picked nurses. "
The picture is enacted by an exceptionally talented cast of principals, with more than abe thousand persons in extra roles. Ian Hunter, famous on the Lox- don stage and in films, and Donald Woods have the two leading mas- culine roles.
"POPPY"
By all odds the most hilarious, laugh. Alled achievement of the career of America's dean of all comics is "Poppy." W, C. Fields' film which opened yesterday at the Queen's Theatre.
SMALL CAR TRIUMPHS "What is possibly more important -it also tones with any livery worn by the man who has to drive it every day."
Lord Austin, speaking at the show, said: "Business conditions in the motor industry have not been so settled for years.
יד.
This year's Motor Show is a triumph for the smaller and mode- rate-powered British cars. Increas- ed spending power has given the motorist and the would-be motor- ing public the opportunity to buy a larger vehicle and exercise more discrimination in the choice of a
car.

"ALMOST EVERY LUXURY" "Cars of moderate power and price now offer almost every luxury
and of equipment
performance previously monopolised by the larger type car.".
Probably the most admired car of the show this year is the four- and-a-half litre Bentley, which has
been made to the order of the
