A GOOD COMEDY. “Best of Enemies,” a new romantic comedy, will be shown to-night and tomorrow night at the Eltham Theatre, with the leading roles taken by Buddy Rogers and Marian Nixon, who meet in romantic circumstances in Germany as son and daughter of two men who are the “best of enemies,” by reason of their divergence of view in regard to prohibition. In theme and treatment it is a film that has as timely a significance as any recently seen. Against a background that depicts the changes of time, the story details a romance between two youngsters whose personal lives are inextricably bound up with the passing events. Their bringing up, their daily lives, belonging as they do to a familiar class of Americans, gives rise to a number of barriers that must be overcome. The picture contains moments of the happiest humour, and has a musical background directed by Arthur Lange, with a number of dance sequences under the direction of Sammy Lee.
