GODFREY TEARLE'S GOOD ACTING IN “THE BERG."

ture a success.

The film depicts society life, with all its pomp, lustre, and dignity, yet making ny appeal to the "Hon. Phillip Wrexham," (Ivan Petrovitch) son, of "Lord Bellamont" (Shayle Gardner) the Wrexham Dock's owner.

The brilliant supporting cast in- cludes Claire Eames, Gerald Fielding, and Leslie Faber.

The musical accompaniment, under the conductorship of Mr. W. J. Hles, is excellent throughout.

TAHITI HOTEL

Used as Background In South Sea Film

One of the most famous hostelries of the South Seas, the hotel "Aina Pare" at Papeete appears in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "White

Shadows in the South Seas" which comes to the Queen's Theatre on Sunday. For years the hotel was run by the celebrated Lovaina, who has figured prominently in many of the novels written about the South Seas, including Somerset

Betty Bronson

and Six-

Maugham's "The Moon pence." Since her death in the influenza epidemic of 1918, the hotel has been run by her son, Johnnie Gooding.

In addition to serving living quarters for a part of Malro-Gold- wyn expedition the hotel served as a background for several of the most interesting scenes of the pro- duction.

W. S. Van Dyke directed "White Shadows in the South Seas," which has a large cast, including Monte Blue, Baquel Torres, Rena Bush, Robert Anderson, and several hun- dred natives.

to that cause. This new "Journey's

End" company that is soon going to America is a good one-unques- tionably,

The members were nervous--as nervous as they had to pretend to be. They knew what they were up against. The nervousnese will wear off and they will presently be free from verbal slips.

As it was, the chief successes were made in the smaller parts. The Private Mason of Victor Stanley was scarcely distinguish- able from that at the Savoy. Jack Hawkins's sketch of the poltroon Hibbert was a fine, effective piecé of work. It was good to see H. G. Stoker again as the Colonel, but he only remains temporarily. There was a lively freshness about Derek Williams's Raleigh.

If the Stanhope of Colin Keith- Johnston and the Osborne of Leon Quartermaine did not quite sget home with me, it is because I could not, (says a writer in the "Daily Sketch") but remember Colin Clive and George Zucco,

Those who saw for the first time enjoyed it all without reserve.

[George Zucco is an outstanding success in "Journey's End." He has been playing the City Hall with with his Holloway Courtfidge · Co. four or five years ago. He was the best actor in the Company]

At Q Theatre, where this story, based on what might have happened during the last three hours on board the "Titanic" after she struck an iceberg, was pro- duced though, it was presented with the aid of good staging and fine acting-it was apparent that this danger actually existed.

Godfrey Tearle as a mature and crippled man of the world, and George Relph as a semi-disillusion- ed padre, gave outstanding pers formances, while, in the few oppor- tunities that came to her, Beatrix Thomson genuinely moved the

house.

The whole company was well balanced.

BOLD ATTEMPT

THEATRES TO FIGHT TALKING FILMS

CHEAPER SEATS PLAN

"The theatre must fight the talking film with all its power if it is to maintain an economic existence."

This is the view of a number of theatrical managers, who are watching with grave concern the rising interest in this new form of entertainment.

Sir Alfred Butt means to fight the talking film at the new Domin- Jon Theatre, at the corner of Tot- tenham Court-road and New Oxford-street, London. The top price for seats in the new threatre i will be 7s. 6d., and Sir Alfred says he. will put on big musical comedica. There will be 1,270 stalls at 78. 6d, sach, 900 dress- eircle seats at 5s,, and 900 balcony seats at 20.

One of the best plays ever seen. at the"Q," Ernest Raymond's "The Berg," based on the loss of the "Titanic," has not taken long on the journey from the suburbs to a West End Theatre,

It was staged at His Majesty's, and, with the improved effect of the larger stage, had a really won- derful reception.

All the well-known first-nighters were there, and many of them were moved to tears by the wonderful acting in the second act. As at the "Q" the principal parts are taken by Godfrey Tearle, George. Ralph and Beatrix
