SHOOTING STARS.
Jessie Matthews and her father-in-law Robert Hale (Sonnies parent), indulge in an orgy of wilful destruction in the big party scenes for "It's Love Again," the new Gaumont-British 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 is under the mistaken impression that Jessie is a past mistress 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 not a vase, not a chandelier, not a picture in the hostess's enormous salon, but has 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.
