THE NOBILITY

DUCAL POLITICS

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, June 14. The Duke of Montrose's Jalning of the Liberal fold would seem to give to that party something it has not had for some time. Dukes seem to run in cycles politically, for there have been considerable periods" when it was the

Tory party which was short, of them. Bearers of that title-especially "Duke Smithsop" of Northumber- land and the "Great Leviathan" of Bedford—were the special tar- get of witticisms in the Tory "Anti-Jacobin," Gladstone at one time had the Duke of Argyll in his Cabinet and the heir to the Duke of Devonshire., Other Whig-

A love story so magnificent and compelling that the audience sat at the spellbound throughout King's Theatre when "The Dark Angel", was shown.

Alan is reported killed, and the story proceeds to a powerful emotional climax and ends beautiful, heart-gripping note.

Magnificently acted, handsomely mounted and brilliantly directed, "The Dark Angel", stands out as one of the finest and most enter- taining films in many a cinema season. The supporting cast, In- cluding Janet Beecher, John Hali day, Heartetta Crosman, Frieda Inescort, Claude Allister, Georgie Breakstone, Fay Chaldecott, Cora Sue Collins and others, is excel- lent.

THE VOICE OF BUGLE ANN

It is true that the Duke-the Duke of Wellington—was a Tory of the Tories and that somme others, like the Dukes of Beaufort, were stalwarts of that party, bus It seems fair to give to the Liberal side of "ducality" the better of ib over a long period. It was Home Rule that began the process of alienation, and the Budget of 1804 hed its share, no doubt, in estab- 1shing the samo tendency. But now that a

movement in the opposite direction has begun, who knows where it may end?
