TOWN HALL TALKIES

‘.‘POT LUCK.” SHOWING NEXT SATURDAY. Tom Wails, whose latest picture “Pot Luck” is coming to the Town Hall on-Saturday, has been seen in many guises during his long career on the screen. This time, however, he surpasses himself when he visits an Art Gallery in his efforts to track a gang of art-treasure thieves, who are after a valuable Chinese vase. „ He appears as a “grand old man heavily clad in long grey beard, sweeping grey hair and a lot of clothes." His" voice, too, is altered and he speaks in a thin treble which completely deceives the thief who is in the galleries hovering around the precious vase. This film is bubbling over with humour, yet it has its purely thrilling mo'ments. There is the car chase through the night when Jane and Peggie (Diana Churchill and Balph Lvnn, of course) follow the thieves’ car and are led to a weird-looking abbey in the heart of the country. From that point excitement increases, until it reaches a grand climax when the inimitable Tom Walls, as Detective Fitzpatrick, lays the crooks low.
