ELTHAM THEATRE TALKIES.

PUTTIN’ ON THE RITZ.

If you like a riot of colour, dances, fun and frolic, ‘•'Puttin’- on the Ritz” is “the goods.” This fine musical extravaganza will be screened at Elthain to-night. 'To hear Harry Richman sing “There's- Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie,” and “Singing a Vagabond Song,” is alone worth while apart from the wonderful coloured “Alice in Wonderland” scene.. The whole entertainment is pleasing in every way.
