PLAZA THEATRE.

"Head Over Heels."

Jessie Matthews's greatest, gayest, | and most glittering picture, "Head Over Heels," commences at the Plaza Theatre tomorrow. "Head Over Heels" is a zestful comedy-romance, set in the Parisian cabaret-world, of three young people and an actress, who has homewrecking tendencies. Jeanne, a cabaretsinger (Jessie Matthews) meets a young sound engineer, Pierre (Robert Flemyng) at a broadcasting station. To the worry of Pierre, who has taken a fond liking to her, she falls head over heels for Marcel, Pierre's roommate, who, however, has become infatuated by an American film s.Ur Norma Langtry (Whitney Bourne;. This leads to a quarrel in which Jeanne, in a fit of jealousy upon seeing her happiness snatched out of her grasp, rails Norma and causes such a scandal that the French Actors' Association bars her from further cabaret appearances. To add to her troubles, Marcel leaves for Hollywood with Norma, and Pierre, whom Jeanne now realises to be the better and more likeable of the two, she has lost touch with. When Pierre finally locates Jeanne, he persuades the Actors' Association to allow her to broadcast in a special series; but unfortunately Norma, who has returned from America, happens to be there when Jeanne is broadcasting and she once again spoils her chances by quarrelling. Jeanne disappears again, and it is not until Pierre finds her selling cigarettes at her old cabaret that matters seem to be any better. Then Marcel, repentent, puts in another appearance and manages to persuade Jeanne that he really does care for her and she for him.
