ROYAL, KINGSLAND
“PAINTING THE TOWN” The story of “Fainting the Town,” now being shown at the Theatre Royal, Kingsland, has to do with one Hector Whitmore, a country town inventive genius and smarty who goes to New York to astonish the town with his inventions, principal among them being a front-wheel brake auto that'will stop in Its own length at any speed. He also wants to renew a chance acquaintance with Patsy De Veau, a Follies beauty. How he is “framed” by Patsy's former sweetheart in his quick stop demonstration for the Fire Commissioner and how he finally gets the best of those conspiring against him, to win a big contract for his “wonder car” and also the heart of the Follies girl, is depicted in fast action abounding in laughs. Hector's ready supply of smart-aleck tricks and his wise-cracking remarks help to make the picture a hilarious farce comedy. His humour is contagious and Tryon has injected a pleasing personality into the role.
