DUCHESS THEATRE
A film farce written by Ben Travers 1 ir his best vein, interpreted by Ralph Gordon Harker and Robertson Hare in a kind of triple lead, and directed by Tom Walls is a screen combination hard to beat. With those appetising ingredients Gaumont-British produced 4 4 Dirty Work.” which will be screened to-night at the Duchess Theatre. The “dirty work” concerns the prize-ass plan of Ralph Lynn, salesman, to trap thieves who have long been looting the show stock of the Sterling Jewel Company. Robertson Hare, assistant salesman, and Gordon Harker, commissionaire, lend unwilling aid. The scheme involves the disguising of Hare as a burglar and Lynn as a policeman, the planting of the loot on the
real crooks and thefc subsequent arrest by the real police. The scheme suits the crooks down to the ground and they nearly get away* with it—but not quite.
