PLAZA THEATRE

"ANGELS HOLIDAY.” Having inherited an exaggerated sense of finding an air of mystery and intrigue in everyday problems. Jane Withers creates a laugh riot in her new film, “Angel’s Holiday," commencing to-day at the Plaza Theatre. Other players in the cast are Sally Blane, a screen actress, Robert Kent, a wide awake reporter, Frank Jenks and Al Lydell. The story opens with a hilarious scene in a railway carriage in which Jane is reading a detective story to all the passengers. The guard intervenes, but the passengers hoot him and get Jane to go on with her story. From this atmosphere of suspense Jane stumbles upon a real mystery in which an organised kidnapping is arranged as a publicity stunt for Sally Blane. Arrived at her destination Jane finds Robert Kent—her “beau”—in her uncle’s newspaper office and it is to him that she gives the story. Having once been in love with Miss Blane, Kent is loath to print it but his hand is forced by his small partner, who sees in it an opportunity to discourage her "rival’s'' interest in him. Jane turns out trumps when Miss Blane is kidnapped by a real band of desperadoes, however, in spite of the fact that the police—who have been caught by her little “gags” before—refuse to help. Supports include shots of the present Sino-Japanese conflict and a clever cartoon.
