“The Pride of the Regiment.” 17 min. F.S. A convincing and pathetic home picture of English life concerning an ambitious military man who forces his son at a premature age into the army, only to his disgrace and discharge. The mother takes the heroic part and saves the boy from being thrown out into the world without friend. The story is as interesting to American audiences as the English because it has all the elements of a domestic tragedy, ending in forgiveness and reconciliation. Mr. Thompson received strong advance applause, and was listened to with tense appreciation and some applause at various climaxes. The finish was good.
