Summary
Showing for one night only at the Star Theatre this evening, by special request, is the British film 'Milestones,' based on the play of the same name by Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock. 'Milestones' was first produced by Frank Vernon under the director Messrs. Vedrenne and Eadie at the Royalty Theatre, London, 1912. The play was revived in October 1914 and again enjoyed a successful season. The presenting of such a subtle play on the cinema screen offered many difficulties, but these have been overcome in a masterly manner by the Samuelson Film Manufacturing Co., Ltd., (an all British firm), with such British stars, as Isobel Elsom, Owen Nares, and Winifred Delevanti.
