HILARIOUS COMEDY.
“Money Talks” Heads Crystal Programme. Julian Rose, whose Levinsky records have amused tens of thousands of people, literally comes Into his own in Money Talks,” the hilarious comedy screening at the Crystal Palace Theatre. • Money Talks ” gives Rose his first starring opportunity. Rose’s voice has been sufficient on the records to provoke roars of laughter, and, combined with his natural cirollness of manner and a flair for characterisation, it ensures his success on the screen. The Hebrew comedian revels in his part, and with the assistance of those two favourites, Gus M’Naughton and Jimmy Godden, Judy Kelly, the delightful Australian star, and Kid Berg, who is as much at home in the picture as in the boxing ring, ” Money Talks ” stands out as a first-class entertainment.
Julian Rose appears as Abe Pilstein. He and his charming daughter, Rosie, conduct a dress establishment, but they fall on hard times,. and are sold up. Hymie Burkowitz gives Abe £SOO for the goodwill of the business, but Rosie, believing that he is the cause of all their unhappiness, snubs his son, Morxis, and hides her secret liking for him. Then the fun commences. Abe is advised that a rich aunt has bequeathed a fortune to him provided he is penniless when the money arrives a month later. But he has the £SOO and is at a loss to dispose of it in order to comply with the terms of the will, His feelings on the matter are somewhat mixed, but looking to the advantages of getting rid of the £SOO he employs all manner of means to see that the money does not bring any profit. Unfortunateejy, or so he thinks, the “ wild cat ” schemes propounded by his fellow-boarders prove to be real money-makers. However, he finally gets rid of the money only to find that his legacy has been lost in a bank failure! The ensuing scenes show Abe at his best, and there is an unexpected ending which is most satisfactory. Box plans at The Bristol.
