WHOLESOME COMEDY.
Crystal Offers “ Romance in the Rain.” Romance in the Rain,” an unusually clever and wholesome comedy, heads to-day’s new programme at the Cry'.stal Palace Theatre. Roger Pryor (of “ Moonlight and Pretzels ” fame) and Heather Angel, lovely young English actress, are happily cast as the romantic couple in the film. They make an attractive and appealing screen pair. The story is of a modern Cinderella who, like her famous namesake in fiction, is beset with poverty and drudgery at home until her Prince Charming comes along and opens wide the gates of wonderland to her. Victor Moore, one of the most popular American comedians, makes his screen debut in this picture and his performance stamps him as a player of great promise. Esther Ralston scores in the role of an alluring vamp and Ruth Donnelly gives an excellent characterisation as Moore’s faithful secretary who, despite her long years of service, has never lost her sense of humour. One of the musical highlights of the picture is the Cinderella ball, featuring a flock of dancing beauties, the Downey Sisters and The Five Cinderellas. Box plans at the D.I.C.
