Summary
The performances at the Coronet yesterday were signalised by capacity houses who immensely enjoyed 'The Sack of Rome,' produced by the author of 'Quo Vadis?' the film sustains the claims made for it as being a beautiful spectacular panorama of Rome under the temporal power of the Popes. The picturesque attire of the people of the period is shown with a thoroughness in detail which marks out the producer as a first-class artist. Another film of the same programme introduces the Vanity Fair Girls. It is a theme centring round the efforts of a beavy of mischievous girls to tame a very timid man.
