“ The Guardsman ” Heads Plaza Programme.
“ The Guardsman ” heads the excellent programme at the Plaza Theatre this week. It brings to the talking screen for the first time Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt, two of the most famous of New York's stage players. They are aided and abetted in the nonsensical stuff of which this brilliant film is made by Zasu Pitts and the ever-popular Roland Young. “The Guardsman” depicts the efforts of a love-crazy husband to put his wife’s fidelity to the test by making violent love to her in disguise. This makes for gay and saucy entertainment. Alfred Lunt plays the temperamental actor-hus-band, and the glamorous Lynn Fontanne is the wife. With its suave Continental sophistication and ultramodern settings, “ The Guardsman ” is all that anyone could ask of a firstrate comedy. The supports are capital, not least of. them being a Walt Disney Silly Symphony in full colour, with old King Cole entertaining in a frenzy of fun all the fairy folk of the story books that ever delighted children.
