AMUSING FILM, “KID BOOTS,” NOW AT GRAND

Those fortunate folk who saw the play, “Kid Boots,” when it was presented in Christchurch on the stage, will have no hesitation in recommending their friends and acquaintances to visit the Grand Theatre this week, where the screen version of this clever comedy is being shown. It presents fun in its most acceptable vestments; a cunning little plot being enhanced by many original pranks, and a multitude of inimitable drolleries. The screening of the comedy is beyond reproach. In Eddie Cantor the producers have secured the original “Kid” Boots, who first appeared in the part in New York, and as a screen star his success is even more striking than it was on that ocasion. Eleanor Belmore is played by Billie Dove, while the part of Clara M’Ooy is charmingly taken by Clara Bow. Lawrence Gray, a new footlight favourite, plays a good part as Tom Sterling. Other members of the cast are Natalie Kingston, Malcolm Waite, Wm. Worthington, Harry von Meter and Fred Esmelton. The music of the Grand Quality Orchestra adds to the pleasure of the evening.
