SHOOTING STARS

TESSIE MATTHEWS and father-in-u law Robert Hale (Sonnie’s parent), indulge in an orgy of wilful destruction in the big party scene for “It’s Love Again,” the new GaumontBritish musical riot. Robert Hale, appearing as-“ Colonel Egerton” a famous big game hunter, finds himself pitted against Jessie (“Mrs. Smythe-Smythe”) at the party, at which the hostess (Athene Seyler) is under the mistaken impression that Jessie is a pastmistress at the art of “shikar.” A shooting match -is therefore arranged, and the warrior and the lady fall to with a will. , Result: in five minutes there is not a vase, not a chandelier, not a picture in the hostess’s enormous salon, that has not been smashed to smithereens by the wildly flying bullets of the inexperienced Jessie. The Colonel “takes his time” from his opponent; whenever, therefore, she hits some precious ornament he follows up with a direct hit, completely demolishing whatever Jessie’s bullet has left undestroyed. “I must confess I don’t like firing a gun,” says Jessie.
