COMEDY PROGRAMME NOW BEING SHOWN AT CONCERT HALL
Harold and Richard Dix are rivals as the world’s greatest funmakers, and when they both appear on the same programme nothing more could be desired. 44 The Kid Brother ” and 44 Sporting Goods ” are two rollicking comedies, now being shown at the Municipal Theatre. The musical side of the programme has been well attended to. Mr Arthur Lilly and his orchestra provide the latest numbers topical to the pictures. Harold Lloyd has maintained his distinction in an age of slapstick by producing another legitimate comedy with a dramatic theme. The story is simple yet forceful. Mistaken identity is the motif of 44 Sporting Goods.” Richard Dix, as a travelling golf-suit salesman, is mistaken for a millionaire, is plunged into all kinds of trouble and forced to make good tti win a rich girl. The picture contains a number of hilarious situations, including an extraordinary poker game. Ford Sterling, the famous comic policeman, is one of Dix’s supporters.
