“HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS”
TAESCRIBED as one of the funniest .films of the year, “His Royal Highness,” which features George Wallace and is due for yery early release, is a typical Wallace farce, with the comedian figuring first as a stage-hand in a Melbourne theatre and later as a king of a mythical kingdom in Europe. In his latter capacity he finds plenty of opportunity for lively comedy, and his game of poker with members of the royal household is a joy to witness. Many artists well known on the stage in New Zealand appear in support of the comedian, notably Beyrl Walkley, whose fine voice gives musical distinction to the film; Donalda Warne in another singing role; Lou Vernon, the well-known musical comedy character actor; Frank Tarrant, Marshall Crosby and others.
