ENTERTAINMENTS.
OPERA HOUSE. TO-NIGHT
“EXIT SMILING.”
“Exit Smiling,” the Metno-Goldwyn-Mftyer picture to be screened at the Opera House to-night, is a witty and subtle burlesque on the travelling dramatic companies of pre-motion picture days. The picture depict.s in a iTa-ugh-able manner the often agonising “melodramas” of these troupes —in which lost cues, forgotten parts, falling scenery, and .guns that exploded at the wrong time, are all identical to the performance. The star of the picture is a delightful new comedienne —Beatrice Lillie, an idol of the London musical comedy stage, who is making her diebut >n motion pictures. Tn private life Miss Lillie is Lady Robert Peel, wife of a distinguished British peer .In this, her first picture, Jack Pickford is this leading male player. There is a strong supporting programme.
