COMEDY PREVAILS AT THE LIBERTY.
LAUGHING CROWDS SEE “ WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.” During the past few weeks, pic-ture-goers in Christchurch have been presented with some excellent comedies, but it is difficult to mention one that surpasses the latest that has arrived 1 , “What Happened to Jones." This picture is being shown at Liberty Theatre,' and it has proved itself as a laughter maker. The story itself first saw the light of day thirty years ago, when George Broadhurst wrote it as a play. Since then it has appeared in the shape of a novel, and now it comes to the screen. Full justice is done to the author in the screen version, for all the additional scope that the camera affords has been used in the production of the picture. From the outset, comedy prevails, and the opening scenes are just as hilarious as the concluding. There is a fine supporting programme of news pictures and other items, all of which contribute to a successful evening’s entertainment. Special music is contributed by the Liberty Quality Orchestra, under the baton of Mr Ernest Jamieson.
