BRIGHT ENGLISH COMEDY.

“ The Middle Watch,” a fine comedy heads the programme at the Regent Theatre. “UNEASY VIRTUE.” The phenomenal success of “The Middle Watch ” has proved that the public of Christchurch has a most decided preference for good British productions, and, with this point in view, the management of the Regent has secured another British success, “ Uneasy Virtue,” for presentation. following “The Middle Watch.” “Uneasy Virtue” comes to Christchurch with splendid London criticisms, and is an outstauding production from the studios of British International Pictures, Ltd. The foremost English artists take part in the picture, and inJ elude Fay Compton. Dodo Watts (of “The Middle Watch”), Edmund Breon. Margot Grahame, Garry Marsh. Donald Calthrop and Molly Lamont. “Uneasy Virtue ” is the delightfully sophisticated story of a plain wife who resents the fact that her friends refuse to ssupect her of having an intriguing “affair” while all the other married women are under suspicion. Even her husband proclaims openly the impossibility of bis wife being subjected to temptation. The wife’s resentment results in some ridiculoulsy humorous complications which provide a fund of delightful entertainment. “Uneasy Virtue” is a worthy successor to “ The Middle Watch.”
