HILARIOUS COMEDY.
Sparkling characterisations and hilariously funny scenes make “My Wife’s Family,” which is being screened at Everybody’s, one of the wittiest comedies ' ever turned out of a British studio. Gene Gerard, as Jack, and Amy Veness, as the mother-in-law, take the principal honours, their rapid cross-talk being side-splitting. Jimmy Godden, a favourite on the stage with New Zealand audiences, ably supports the pair with his doleful plaints about his hunger. Muriel Angelus makes an appealng wife, while Noah Nagg, the henpecked father-in-law, is ably played by Charles Paton. An excellent movietone news of the 1931 Grand National is also shown. The box plans are at The Bristol.
