“MIDSHIPMAN EASY” AT DE LUXE THEATRE The exhilarating and vastly amusing screen presentation of Captain Marryatt’s famous naval story, “Midshipman Easy ' will be shown at the De Luxe Theatre to-morrow for the last time. All the old familiar characters come to life once moer on the deck of H.M.S. Harpy, on the stoney shore of Sicily—Midshipman Jack Easy and his friend in adventure, Midshipman Gascoigne, Captain Wilson, Lieutenant Sambridge, Binks the boatswain. Mesty, the faithful negro cook, Don Silvio the brigand, and the fine old Spanish hidalgo and his beautiful daughtei, Donna Agnes, who captures the youthful fancy of the sprightly hero. The programme also includes Patlie pictorials. “The C. 30 Collection.” a survey of the activities of the London Dost Office, and “Balloon Land,” a clever and amusing coloured cartoon, The orchestra, under Mr. L. D. Austin, lends a musical flavour to the programme. “Honeymoon for Three.” There are few more virile comedians on the screen to-day than Stanley Lupino, the star of the comedy “Honeymoon for Three,” which comes to the De Luxe Theatre next Friday. From beginning to end he does not let up singing and dancing his way through with infectious gaiety, it is said. It is not unnatural that he should be a great acrobatic dancer, as he comes from a family of them. Hie cousin, Lupino Lane, is one of the best known of them all.
