LAURA LA PLANTE! IN “BUTTERFLIES IN THE RAIN”

The picture “Butterflies in the Rain” from the Universal Studios, is a brilliant example of modern life post-war existence in London, and as snappy _and effective as such, a theme immediately suggests, will ho the lkg attraction at Everybody’s tonight. It is a fascinating and intriguing story, told with an infinitely greater sense of humor and understanding than the usual type of modem drama, and is by way of being far more akin to frank comedy-drama than tho sententious and dramatic fare so often served up. A story ol polite society, the Conservative party at play, “Butterflies in the Rain” is presented shorn of all the; hackneyed trammels 'that tend but ~to mar the best pictures. It is one of the most discerning essays upon the younger generation ever written. Its unconscious naivete and occasionally tense drama are coupled in that subtle and successful manner that only a master novelist could effect, and tho'direction o,f : the picture is likewise studied and Unforced. The acting is remarkable. James Kirkwood and Laura La Plante, two popular and talented stars, play tho leading roles, both of them, particularly Kirkwood, putting some excellent work into the film. The picture is artistically mounted, which is always a factor in any' film’s favor. In addition a picked programme of supports. Box plan at Tattersall and Bayly’s..
