“LILY OF KILLARNEY.”
Civic Screens Charming Production. A truly charming picture is “Lily of Killarney,” # at present showing' at the Civic All-British Theatre. Besides being a treat for music-lovers, it blends sprightly humour with tense melodrama. It is a film that brings back the early healthy spirit of the screen in a play of real life, love and laughter. Seldom before has such a satisfactory cast been assembled. Each member is suited to his role and has the talent to enact it. A more charming colleen than Gina Malo could hardly be imagined. John Garrick, who will be remembered by all theatregoers as Reginald Dandy in the “Rose Marie” company, gives an excellent portrayal of Sir Patrick Creegan, whilst Stanley Holloway as Father O’Flynn is outstanding. The singing of ten Irish natianal airs, which include “Killarney,” “Father O’Flvnn,” “ Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms,” “ Little Irish Gig,” “ Ireland in Spring.” and “ Dear Little Shamrock,” is a special feature of this production. Box plans at the theatre from 10 a.m. daily.
