THE WORLD’S GREATEST COMEDIAN, Sir Harry Lauder Sir Harry Lauder has been seen on the stage by many. His voice has been heard by many others on the phonograph, and now omes the chance of a lifetime. You can see Sir Harry. Yes, he is the latest one to fall to the lure of the Kleig lights. To-night you’ll see him in his First Picture—- “ Hunting-. tower” What the London critics think of “HUNTINGTOWER” THE “MORNING POST”: “ Tluntingtower’ more than fulfils everything that was dreamt. Sir Harry Lauder is gloriously good. He combines as no one but he could do, Scottish humour and Scottish idealism. You laugh at his walk, his bandy legs, his bonnet all askew; but at the same time you realise the grit, and dash and pride of the man. Adventure as romantic as any told.” THE “DAILY SKETCH”: “Lauder scores a triumph and reveals himself as a wonderful film actor in ‘Huntingtower.’ Few screen comedians other than Charles Chaplin have obtained so many laughs. An hour before the first performance the theatre (the Plaza) was crowded, iwith one of the longest queues a London kinema has ever seen waiting for the next performance.” A Tremendous Ovation Accorded Arthur Aldridge THE GOLDEN-VOICED TENOR.
