CENTURY THEATRE
Replete with moments of sparkling comedy and yet. an intriguing psychological study of a husband and wife whoso temperaments Mere diametrically opposed, Alexander Korda's tcelinicolour production "Over the Moon" was greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences when it. was shown for the first time at the Century Theatre yesterday. Merle Obcron is ideally cast as an attractive but wilful young lady, while brilliant performances are also given bv Rex Harrison and Ursula Jeans. The country of Finland is the subject of an especially interesting "March of Time" which heads an excellent selection of short features. Not only can a clear idea of the country's terrain and economic resources be gained from this graphic survey, but also an appreciation of the spirit of its people. News reels show the arrival of H.M.S. Ajax at an English port, as well as the disembarkation of New Zealand troops in Egypt.
