THEATRE
LORD DUNSANY'S
As is well known, the picturei is adapted from the play by Bruce Bairnsfather and Arthur Eliot which was originally produced at the Oxford Theatre of Varieties with Sir Arthur Bourchier in the title role. It is British from start to finish and makes an irresistible) appeal to British sentiment. There are no exaggerated and highly sensational escapades. no high falutin' love passages. The "Romance of Old Bill" is just a simple story, depicting the life of three Tommies at Home and in the trenches. They are not presented as the heroes from some highly coloured novel but are drawn from life and with such a master- ly hand that they epitomise for us, i ad for millions of others. both the Old Army that was in being when the Huns commenced their cam-i paign of world conquest and the New Army that rose in answer to the Great Call.
"Shoulder Arms", the famous war film built up out of the im. agination of Charlie Chaplin. raised many a laugh, but after all it was only burlesque. In the "Better Ole" we have the real thing-the picture of enjoyment in the estaminets. as Tomuly understood it the reconstruction of the daily routine of the trenches. The cockney humour never fails in any situation and laughter is the prevailing note, but, here and there. minor episodes show in flush the undercurrent of tragedy and to realise, as per- haps we should never realise otherwise, the hell through which Eo many thousands of men passed with a smile. There is no sugg is. tion that they imagine themselves to be playing the hero's part. | Their motive is love country, and all for which Home stands, and a simple determination to do their bit.

It is impossible for any Briton to watch the delineation. of the story on the screen without feeling a glowi of enthusiasm. There is по appeal to a tawdry patriotism but most certainly it causes the blood to tingle and awakens a healthy pride of race.
