It is" "The Calendar", Edgar Wallace's story of the turf, which Gainsborough- British Lion have made into a par ticularly attractive film. Edgar Wallace's knowledge of the turf has enabled him to write a story that lives on the screen. Its peo-1 ple are real people, and you ATA assured of excellent entertainment. In "The Calendar"' Herbert Mar- ahall and Edna Best gave polished performances: an the hero and heroine, and they are wonderfully supported by an exceptional cast of English players, including Gordon Harker, Anne Grey, Nigel Bruce, Allan Ayneaworth. and Alfred Drayton. Altogether "The Calen dar"--an Edgar Wallace racing drama is as fine a picture as any one could wish to see.
