FINE COMEDY AT ELTHAM.

TO-NIGHT'S. TALKIE ATTRACTION.

With a gay humour of its f own and a series of delightful surprises scattered through the story, “The Brat” easily wins a place among the most enjoyable film offerings of the year. This fine production will be shown at Eltham to-night. Whether this picture should be classified as a romantic comedy, a comedy drama or a dramatic romance is hard to say. It has plenty of action, a joyous and different sort of love story, bits of sheer pathos and dozens of hilariously funny situations. A penniless j Cinderella from the Bowery is taken to the home of a wealthy author who is looking for a heroine for his next ■ novel. The girl’s dual romance with the writer and his youngest brother, the jealousy her coming arouses in the two society girls ■who have already marked the author as their matrimonial prey, and the resulting complications all keep the interest at a high pitch.
