BRITANNIA
“HER MAN-O’-WAR” Three German “pursuit” planes of the model used during the world war. : were imported from France for use in Jetta Goudal’s first starring picture. “Her Man o’ War,” which comes to the Britannia Theatre to-night. While the scenes in which the planes figure in the picture are brief, they are both thrilling and important, linking the hero, who poses as a deserter from the ranks, but who actually is a spy, with his intelligence department by means of a unique signal system with the heroine’s weekly wash. Comedy and tense drama figure in the incident. William Boyd, who makes an ideal doughboy, plays the role of the spy, in company with his clowning “buddy, Jimmie Adams, of the Chris, comedy fame. Throughout all the serious scenes of the picture, whether thrills, pathos or tense drama predominates, there is a lively and continuous thread of comedy relief, supplied in part by Mr. Adams and Kay Deslys as the comedy duo, and in part by Miss Goudal and Boyd.
