SOCIAL COMEDY ON BILL AT CRYSTAL PALACE THIS WEEK.
ADOLPHE MENJOU HAS LAUGHABLE ROLE
Mr Adolphe Menjou has done so well at Crystal Palace that his name alone commends to the public “A Social Celebrity,” in which he makes his latest, and his most successful, appearance. The “King” on “Main Street” now is a barber who masquerades as a count. He certainly is an exquisite barber. His manners are so grand that a pair of jokers conspire to pass him off on their hostess as Count d’Antin. Tn borrowed evening dress or in a fur coat, he becomes a social celebrity, completely deceiving a lady who is prominent in society. At first he is madly in love with a little girl in his father’s shop; later, all his fiery affection is spent on an heiress; then .exposure, a snub from the heiress, and love and marriage with charming Kitty. Many stage plays make excellent pictures. Not the least of these is Monckton Hoffe’s “The Faithful Heart,” screened as a support for “A Social Celebrity.’* Jt is a Para-
mount British film, with an English actress. Miss Lilian Hall-Davis, as the star. The “Australian Gazette” is a particularly interesting one. The Symphony Orchestra contributes a fine programme.
