POPULAR TEAM APPEAR ON EVERYBODY’S BILL.
The popular screen team, Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor, returned to Christchurch yesterday in “ High Society Blues,” this time at Everybody’s Theatre, and were heralded by crowded Itouses at the matinee and evening screenings. It is a delightful comedy romance with delightful Janet Gaynor in the leading role and Charles Farrell opposite her. The pair make a great success of it. The dialogue is well done and the singing is one of the features of the piece, catching choruses making it distinctive. It is the old, old story of a society family and people in more humble circumstances. The daughter of one family and the son of the other make a match of it against the wish of the parents on both sides. Before this happens, however, there are many intriguing situations. In turn serious and comic, the film is bright-and natural. The fathers of the families and a titled personable, prospective husband to the daughter, provide the comedy relief. The third chapter of “ The Indians are Coming ” and other “ shorts ” complete a fine programme.
