OPERA HOUSE
“TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME.” The lighter side of gang warfare is admirably presented in "Tali, Dark, and Handsome," starring Cesar Romero and Virginia Gilmore, which is screening at the Opera House today. This is a film not greatly publicised, which has proved a much greater success than the promoters hoped. It contains plenty of fun, is romantic, occasionally thrilling, and has three or four catchy song numbers. Cesar Romero is the “big shot" of the underworld with numerous murders to his credit, but what the authorities do not realise is that the men presumed killed by the king of gangsters are actually imprisoned in a cellar in his own home. He falls in love with a girl in a department store and invites her to become his children's governess—the fact that he has no children presents uunsupl difficulties. There is not a' dull moment in this film. The as-1 sociate faturc, “Who Goes Next ?” has! Barry K. Barnes and Sophie Stewart starred.
