ROUND THE CINEMAS

Armistice Day of 1918 Recalled.

**THREE LIVE GHOSTS."

Armistice Day, 1918, in London, with all its wild rejoicing, and bands playing "Keep the Home Fires Burn- ing" and "The Long Long Trail," which bring back memories of that never to be forgotten day, is one of the thrilling scenes in "Three Live Ghosts" which started its run at the Queen's Theatre yesterday.

On that joyous day three prisoners who had escaped from a German war camp, arrived in London. Two were Britons and the other Américan, but all had served in the British Army. They visited the Sergeant to collect some back pay and discovered that two of them, a Cockney and the Yan- kee were officially dead-"killed in action." The other Briton, obvious- y a man of class, had lost his mem- ory and could not be identified. They all went to the Cockney's home where the latter's step-mother tried to give the Yankee away to the Police because he had fled from New York, Yesterday.
