TALKIES AT SOUTHBRIDGE

"THEIR NIGHT OUT."

"Their Night Out," the piquant comedy to be screened at the Southbridge Town Hall to-morrow evening, concerns the plight of a young man who is obliged to "cut" a theatre engagement with his mother-in-law and father-in-law in order to take a woman buyer from Aberdeen to her first night club. During a raid he falls into the clutches of the ravishing Lola, who relieves him of his pocket book, and he arrives home in the small hours intoxicatingly exuberant but penniless. During his explanations he unfortunately names as his associate of the night before a society man who has, that morning, been arrested for theft, and an irate mother-in-law and a butler with a passion for criminal detection immediately presume him to be the master-mind who, according to the police, escaped, and he is arrested. Following his release on bail, he is overwhelmed by an influx of visitors —members of a notorious gang of jewel thieves who presume him to be their mysterious chief, the fascinating Lola, another member of the gang, who presents him with the Californian pearls, and Maggie Maclean, who has come to give him a piece of her Scots mind for deserting her the night before. How Claude Hulbert, as the unfortunate young husband, emerges triumphant from his difficulties assisted by Renee Houston as Maggie, Binnie Barnes as the alluring vamp, and Judy Kelly as his trusting wife, provides an hour and a half of supremely funny entertainment.
