"ESCAPE."

Few seasons have produced more notable motion picture than the "Escape," talkie adaptation of John Galaworthy's great drama which opened yesterday at the Queen's Theatre. Local audiences were outspoken in their praise of the production following the initial showings and this reviewer recom- mends the Alm as one attraction that must not be missed.
