BRIGHT ENTERTAINMENT FOR STRAND
BOU3LE FEATURE BILL Coming to the Strand on Friday with a comedy entitled ‘ What a Night is the British production, ‘ Radio Pirates.’ According to the unanimous opinion of the British newspapers this is a ■ merry and bright mixture of comedy, romance, song, music, and dance. A bright story embraces clever humour, broad lampooning of the British radio, and police systems, breezy movement, and smart dialogue. Treated in an invigorating and imaginative way, it is very good entertainment for all types of audience. The whole film is on somewhat novel lines, for it starts as a straightforward romance, and subsequently switches from broad comedy to extravagant fantasy, interspersed with subtle flashes of satire. Two men run a pirate broadcast station to “ boost ” their own business —wireless and song-writing and they are aided and abetted by a young girl who is the owner of a cafe. They simply “ steal ” their_ broadcast programmes from popular night clubs. Their activities are not long in bringing the entire forces of the police and the 8.8. C. authorities down on their trail.
