PLAZA THEATRE.

"Stormy Weather."

For daring situations which are naughty but never vulgar, farcical scenes which never become completely ridiculous, for sparkling dialogue and swift movement, " Stormy Weather," the Gaumont-British comedy based on Ben Travers's play and directed by Tom Walls, which commences at the Plaza Theatre on Friday, is said to be the last word. Gilding the picture is the irresistible charm of Yvonne Arnaud with her broken accent and her exquisite drollery. Although Ben Travers has introduced many farcical scenes, a real plot forms the basis of the picture. It needs genius of the Ben Travers quality to combine the two elements of farce and drama with such laughter-making success. With Tom Walls are working the old laughter team—Ralph Lynn, Robertson Hare, and, of course, Yvonne Arnaud—with the addition of Andrews Engleman in the role of a sinister Russian bent on blackmailing his first wife. Together these star players combine forces in a film which will make everyone laugh wholeheartedly, give them a shiver of apprehension', and send them homf wishing it could have continued another hour or so.
