EXCELLENT ACTING.

“ Sally Bishop ” Comes to Civic on Saturday. The hilarious comedy, •• The Mayor’s Nest ” will conclude its season at the Civic Theatre to-morrow night. Sydney Howard and Claude Hulbert prove an excellent pair of funsters and continued roars of hearty laughter are provoked by their inimitable fooling. Those needing cheery entertainment should make a point of viewing this bright offering. The supporting subjects are excellent, being varied and interesting. . Box plans are now open at the Civic Theatre for "Sally Bishop,” which will begin its Christchurch season on Saturday In "Sally Bishop” the British studios show that they excel in romantic drama as well as in comedy. This latest production is even more charmingly presented than " The Faithful Heart,” or “ Michael and Mary,” which were perhaps the best pictures previously shown in this particular field*. Concerning " Sally Bishop ” one critic writes: ” one of the best pictures I have seen this year. Joan Barry and Harold Huth are wonderful —they do not act, they live their roles. It is a film I shall always remember and so will you.” Thte "Otago Daily Times,” writing of its success in Dunedin recently, says: "The best acted Aim which has been seen in Dunedin for

many a day, is a British Dominions Films reproduction of Temple Thurston's famous book, * Sally Bishop,' with Joan Barry and Harold Huth—the unforgettable leads in ‘ The Outsider ’ — in the star roles. Joan Barry could not be excelled, antf Harold Huth is outstanding.” It is a true to life story containing the intangible ” something ” that appeals to every living soul. Intending patrons are advised to make early reservation to avoid disappointment.
