PLAZA THEATRE

‘■STORMY WEATHER. M There are plenty of laug is in the latest Tom Walls-Kalph Lynn comedy, “Stormy Weather,’’ whion, in view of its entertainment value and its popularity last week, will be certain to attract the crowds to the Plaza Theatre. The screen play and dialogue, as in so many of the pictures in which Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn have appeared, are again by Ben Travers, and that in itself is a recommendation. Tom Walls, as Sir Duncan Craggs, is a very forthright kind of gentleman, married to a french woman (Yvonne Arnaud), who beEeves her former husband, a Russian, Polotski, was killed in the Russian Revolution. But Polotski is not dead, and when he turns up there are some complications to be straightened out. Ralph Lynn and another old favourite, Robertson Hare, have long before this made their appearance, and they add to the fun in their best manner. Some of the action takes place in an opium den, snugly tucked away underneath the street level, and it is the retreat for as tough a bunch of characters as any casting director would be able to assemble. The supporting programme comprises an Australian and New Zealand newsreel with Marabou winning the Melbourne Cup, a British newsreel, end a comedy.
