“A NIGHT LIKE THIS.”

Tom Walls Talkie Now in Second Week.

The inimitable Ralph Lynn and no less comic Tom Walls, in their latest production, “A Night Like This,” which is now In its second week, provide a real treat at the Plaza Theatre. The laughable pair have the support of Winifred Shotter, Mary Brough, Robertson Hare and others whose fame has been made since “ Rookery Nook ” first whetted the appetites of picture-goers. Ralph Lynn, complete with his eyeglass and beaming smile, and Tom Walls, with his dry wit, sport through the story drawing ready laughs every minute. Tom Walls appears in a new role, that of a London policeman, Irish brogue and all, who brings off a coup which startles the authorities of five continents. That, in short, is the story from his point of view. Ralph Lynn, on the other hand, wins his way to the favours of the delightful Winifred Shotter through a series of merry adventures in a night club. The whole picture is remarkably well done. ” A Night Like This ” attains the nearest point to perfection that one could expect in any production. There is some extraordinary filming of London fog scenes before the picture starts in earnest, which make it still more interesting. An excellent supporting programme is also screened.
