PALACE THEATRE

DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME

Hailed by critics as the idea! Betty Bronson picture “The Cat’s Pyjamas” might also be called the ideal Ricardo Cortez picture. It is a delight -ul tale of love, humor and adventure which was especially written for the screen by Ernest Wadja, noted Hungarian playwright. “The Cat’s Pyjamas,” from the time its intrigueing title is thrown on the screen until the last flicker showing Miss Bronson’s delightful cat -fading into the distance with a brood of kittens, is as good entertainment as anything shown here for months. It has all the elements movie-goers like—love, romance, adventure thrills, magnificent and picturesque settings and pathos—and the wonderful element of “dreams come true.” The supporting cast includes that grand old man Theodore Roberts and the- charming lily of France, Ailette and Mateclial. Symbolic of the attitude of adults to the younger folk of to-day is the title of'the . new Metro-Goldwyn-May-er picture to be screened at the Palace at the matinee and to-night at 7.39. This is “Don’t,” an adaptation of the'hilariously entertaining story by* Rupert Hughes. The story depicts a young gh’l who returns from college to a home where life is a succession of prohibitions. After eUping with her sweetheart, she is embroiled in a series of volcanic adventures. One of the great thrills is a breathless motor ride in a car driven by a lunatic. Round dizzy mountain heights and along rough country roads the car is driven at a: furious pace by the madman. Sally O’Neil is cast in the role of the college girl, and John Patrick as her sweetheart.
