TALKIES AT RAHOTU HALL
NOTABLE ENGLISH COMEDIAN. A full talkie show in Raliotu with the latest portable equipment and popularly low prices has been arranged. Residents should enjoy an evening of fun With Leslie Henson, England’s Charlie Chaplin, in the all-British comedy,. “A Warm Corner.” It is his first appearance in the talkies, and the genius for comedy he displays.in it has caused him to be hailed as the Charlie Chaplin of the British screen. His facial contortions in many of the scenes will leave the audience wondering whether he has a face of India rubber. In his immensely amusing incident at the telephone Leslie Henson has one of the longest close-ups ever made. Henson spends four minutes at the phone, and manages to keep the audience in continuous laughter—a real feat of acting. Supporting him are Connie and Heather Thatcher.
