PLAZA
DOUBLE-FEATURE PROGRAMME
Popular fare is provided in the present programme at the Plaza Theatre in well-balanced entertainment, comprising two feature pictures, one a foil for the other. In "Kid Galahad" the audience is treated to a drama of the American prize-fight ring, it being an exposure of the "fight racket." Based on a really excellent story—one of the best-selling novels of the year, written by Francis Wallaceit is faultlessly produced. Many of the scenes are staged in the prize ring and are the last word in realism.
The other feature is a rollicking comedy, "Hotel Haywire," featuring Leo Carrillo and Mary Carlisle.
MAYFAIR
"THE WOMAN I LOVE"
Fine dramatic acting by Paul Muni *nd Miriam Hopkins lends pathos and appeal to a story of a triangular romance set in the days of the Great War and with a background of the French Air Force. The film of the story. "The Woman I Love," is showing at the Mayfair Theatre.
Muni's sensitive appreciation of the flner qualities of dramatic art gives the Aim a reality and meaning of its own. He takes the part of a pilot in 1917 who is regarded by his fellows in the iir squadron as an outcast because he has had the misfortune to lose severaJ observers. A young observer, Louis Hayward, who has just joined the squadron, forms a strong bond with Muni. Colin Clive, as the leader of the squadron, provides a brilliant portrayal.
