EMPRESS THEATRE
Johnny Hines, of the famous smile, is featured at the Empress Theatre this week in "The Early Bird," and, as the name implies, he is something that gets up very early in the morning to do things. *In fact, he is a milkman. In that capacity, he successfully mixes lovo with his milk, awakens his" customers with his' nonsensical humour, and wins the girl of his heart. He drives his milk cart as if it is a chariot, and boosts milk for babies with all the aplomb of his calling. He rises to fortune and its complications, when snobbish people have to recognise their esrnflkman. Still, humour will get over many difficulties, and "The Early Bird" is a sunshine philosopher, bo he rushes through a genuinely funny series of adventures, near-drama and tho rest, to happiness. It is a true Johnny Hines picture, and will amuse- and entertain. Sigrid Hobnquist is the girl in the case, and tho cast includes Edmund Breeso and Wydham Standing. Also brimful of natural comedy is "Up and at 'Em," with Doris May and Hallam Cooley in the leading roles. It is mad-cap fun at its best, and Miss May must rank among the screen's best comediennes. There are other supports to the two laughing booms, and excellent musical accompaniments by Mr. M. Dison's orchestra. Such an entertaining programme has seldom been screened in Wellington.
