SANDY STARS.

" LEAVE IT TO ME" COMEDY, j Sandy Powell, radio and gramophone favourite, makes his second screen appearance in Auckland in the film "Leave It to Me," which is to be released to-morrow at the Majestic Theatre. Sandy's debut in "Can You Hear Me, Mother?" has made him no screen stranger and radio listeners should jump at the chance of seeing some more of his antics. In the development of the >plot Sandy has been waiting since he was a child to become a policeman. But he is rejected. This does not deter him, however, and he joins up with the special constabulary. One of his first jobs is in Limehouse, where Sandy is called upon to quell a riot in a wrestling stadium. He does this, but as he is leaving the place he is mistaken for a member of a gang of jewel thieves and made a prisoner. Later he recovers the jewels, receives a reward and wins his place in the ranks. Judging from overseas critiques. Sandy has hit the nail on the head in his latest evidence of screen foolery. There is a strong musical element in ''Leave Tt To Me," several tuneful numbers being interspersed, besides a few of Sandy's inimitable comedy sketches. Completing the programme is "Laughing At Life," starring Victor anil Conchita Montenegro.
