BRITANNIA THEATRE.
In "The Flirt," the attraction at the Britannia Theatre to-day, playgoers will find an entirely satisfactory dramatisation of Booth Tarkington's brilliant story of American life. Enjoyable from start to finish, it carries a lesson to the modern miss not to become dissatisfied with life just because her father can't give everything that some of her friends have. But the lesson is so deftly handled that one doesn't realise it is there until every last foot of film has been run. The vein of humour, that runs through makes smiles and" tear's alternate, and after' all that is the test of a successful photoplay. The story of "The Flirt" is really the story of the folks next door. It is like lifting the roof of a neighbour's house and taking a look at his life. It is_ rich in fun, sincere in pathos, and convincingly dramatic. The supports are also of excellent variety.
