P ! a “TELL ME TO-NIGHT.” “Tell Me To-night,” opening at the e Civic Theatre for one night only on I, Friday, is the latest Gaumont-British 3 picture produced with British artistes = supporting Jan Kiepura, the eminent Polish tenor, who is under contract to b the Vienna Opera. Really brilliant e performances are given by Sonnie e Hale, Edmund Gwenn, Athene Seyler and Betty Chester, with Magda Schneider, a well-known Continental ' artiste playing the part she played in the European version. This version, under the title of “Song of the Night,’’ had a very successful premiere run in Berlin, a success which has been repeated throughout Europe. Magda Schneider could not speak a word of English when the British version was commenced, but every word in her big part is perfectly enunciated. Most of the exteriors were taken at Lugano, and these scenes are magnificently photographed. These beautiful open-air scenes play a big part in the picture, and Kiepura’s voice, singing in the open, creates a deep impression. Sonnie Hale, who plays one of the principal roles, is undoubtedly a British' find as he photographs well and acts with a spontaniety that is refreshing.
