This engaging t screen play deals with ,gay doings among < the nobility of Europe, and presents t Elissa Landi and Paul Lukas as stars t in a story which is filled with a swift t succession of situations which are embarrassing, to say thet least. In the picture the pair are both servants, of royal masters who succeed in convincing each other that they themselves are of noble rank, but retribution, in the form of jealous husbands, soon places them in a position from which they are glad ( to be relieved even at the expense of discovery. Miss Landi and Lukas are i delightful and are ably supported by such sterling players as Nils Asther, i Esther Ralston, Lawrence Grant, Dorothy Revier and Warburton Gamble. < “TELL ME TO-NIGHT.” < MERRY, MAGICAL COMEDY. 1 ■ ; I Some idea of the treat in store for residents of Central Taranaki to-night < and on Monday night was gained at a private screening in the Plaza yesterday ] afternoon of the musical triumph “Tell < Me To-night.” Amid a setting of Switz- 1 erland’s wonderful scenery, by road, by : lake and by mountain, is heard the ] screen’s golden voiced tenor Jan Kie- 1 pura, taking the part of the fascinating / Ferraro singing his way through amus- < ing adventures and unexpected situations. A clever story is wound round the desire of the lionised Ferraro to find a sanctuary from the shrill and persistent attentions of his lady. There is a grand scene towards the close when Fer- 1 raro takes the role in “La Boheme” with the local opera players, and ends by 1 claiming the beautiful girl who won his regard in the overalls of a mechanic and j won his love by her delightful character. “Tell Me To-night” is the theme ! song of the production. Everyone knows the charming melody, but until Jan Kiepura is heard none can have appreciated ; it. “Tell Me To-night” has well been ■ named the most beautiful comedy of . the year. It is the merriest, magical, , musical story Stratford patrons will have ■ the opportunity of seeing and .hearing for a long time. It will be released to- ’ night and on Monday night only. < ADVERTISERS’ ANNOUNCEMENTS. ’ Mr. M. McDonald, land agent, Stratford, has a proposition on his books for immediate possession.
