LAURIER, PORT CHALMERS
For fun and for entertainment that bubbles with unusual angles, it is a pleasure to recommend ‘ Murder m the Private Car,’ which opened to-day at the Laurier, Port Chalmers. To those inclined to philosophise their amusement, it may indicate a welcome trend of the screen back toward those basic elements that made silent pictures so successful —movement, laughter, thrills, drama. Charlie lluggles, to begin with, tops the fea tured players, and around him revolves tho intriguing story. Ho appears as a comedy deflector of crime who gets mixed into a dastardly plot to assassinate a comely young heiress, and what happens thereafter is fun and thrills in plentiful measure. Much of the action takes place on a private car attached to the rear of a transcontinental train speeding from Los Angeles to New York. Clutching hands, screams in the dark, warnings of impending disaster, madmen, and gorillas are intertwined in the plot in believable and bewildering profusion.
