PLAZA THEATRE.
"THE DEVIL TO PAY." "The Devil to P*y," at the Plaza Theatre this week, is one o£ the most entertaining and pleaaing pictures that has been screened in Chriatchurch for aeveral Konlhs. It was probably the success of such English comedies as "On Approval" which led the American United Artists company to secure an original play from that noted Ehglish playwright, Frederick Lonsdale. The result, in "The Devil to Pay," must be well up to expectations, for in it Lons.dale has t most capably adapted himself to the broader technique of the screen and written a thoroughly clever and amusing story of a family ne'er-do-well who return* to his toeople with a dog and a five-pound note. The dialogue is always bright and refreshing, and the acting of the play, chiefly by Ronald.Oolman (himself-an Englishman), is all that could be desired..
