BRILLIANT COMEDY.
Mr Tom Walls, the English director, has produced a great film in “Canaries Sometimes Sing,” which heads the programme at the Plaza Theatre. It is something entirely new in the way of farce comedy. It is The latest British Dominions film and definitely places the inimitable Tom Walls, who takes the chief part himself, on a pedestal as a talkie star. The witty and sparkling dialogue from the pens of Frederick Eonsdale and Ben Travers, coupled with the brilliant acting of an excellent cast, make the film “ Canaries Sometimes Sing” an entertainment of outstanding merit. The story concerns only four people, who find themselves in a domestic whirlpool through one husband falling in love with the other’s wife. But the story matters little when the witty dialogue and suoerb acting are considered. There is a firstclass supo jrting programme.
