“THE THREE PASSIONS”

BRITISH FICTURE TO-DAY AT QUEEN'S,

Alice Terry and Ivan Petrovitch are co-stars in 'Rex Ingram's latest picture, which comes to the

Queen's Theatre to-day. It is this third pictura in, which they have played under Ingram's direction. Founded on the novel by Cosmo Hamilton, "The Three Passione" is the first enterprise of the new British company, St. George Pro- duction Ltd., of which Capt. Alas tair Mackintosh is the managing director. St George's is thought to have made a splendid start in production by capturing Ingram when so many were anxious ta have his first story of British life.

English scenes in "The Three Passions" have as their back- groundo the famous Balliol Col lege at Oxford University, the Armstrong engineerings works at] Newcastle, and-London in its most Iashionable "West End" and

"East End" aspects/

Interiors made at Ingram's studio at Nice include sets, repre Renting a huge shipyard, ʼn million- aire's mansion in Park Lane, Lon-i don, and an ultra-modern restaur

ant in the British capital.

Money, roligión, love are "The Three Passions" which, clashing. In the surroundings of modern London, provide Rex Ingram withị the motif for this latest film.

Shayle Gardner, well known on the British stage and screen: Claire Enmca, fumous as a Shokes- pearean actress, Andrews Engle- aman, the Russian actor who made

name in "Mare Nostrum," and Leslie Faber, well known in both London and New York theatres. are lending members of the strong cast of "The Three Passions" which will be shown at tho Queen's until Saturday
