REGENT THEATRE
That most famous of all farces, "Banana Ridge,” by Ben Travers, author ot numerous stage and film successes screens at the Regent Theatre to-day, with Robertson Hare and Alfred Drayton in the stellar roles. This popular team, ever dependable, again extract the maximum of humour from their iines. It will be remembered that the plsy, apart from its gay and diverting story, owed its success in no small measure to the expert fooling of these two. In this well made film version these funmakers are admirably supported by Isabel Jeans, Nova Pilbeam, Adele Dixon, Patrick Kinsella, and Valentine Dunn. The story tells of the misadventures of two business partners who years before had each had an affaire with an attractive woman. The hilarity of the situations that follow can well be imagined, and as each of the partners makes every effort to extract themselves from the predicament each becomes more and more involved through their bungling schemes.
