“HAPPY EVER AFTER.”

Lilian Harvey and Hulbert * n Romantic Comedy.

“ Cinderella’s Fella ” will be shown finally to-night at the Crystal Palace Theatre.

One of the most promising English casts yet assembled is seen in “ Happy Ever After,” the romantic comedy with music, which will be the headline attraction at the Crystal Palace Theatre to-morrow. Jack Hulbert, Cicely Courtneidge and Sonnie Hale all take prominent roles, and it should be sufficient recommendation in itself to say that they will all give characteristic performances. Many of the latest songs and dances are featured in this bright show. “ Happy Ever ■A£t e r ’ is a fresh, romantic film in which the English and Continental star, Lilian Harvey, who has now invaded Hollywcod with signal success, is said to be at her lovable best. The film has been described as a lilting, rollicking, amusing comedyromance,’ done along the lines of her earlier German production, In Old Vienna. ’ However, she has the advantage of the starring assistance of Jack Hulbert ar.d Cicely Courtneidge, one of England’s most popular comedy teams, whim theatre-goers saw recently in “ Falling For You” and other films. Sonnie Hale, comedian of “ Tell Me To-night,” has another role suited to his talents. The entire production gives promise of sterling entertainment. Box plans at the D.I.C.
