MAYFAIR
“BLITHE SPIRIT” Noel Coward’s outstanding play, “Blithe Spirit," has been brought to the screen In Technicolour by Two Cities, and many English critics are of the opinion that the clever photography and story treatment make the film version even more brilliant than the stage success. “Blithe Spirit," which stars Rex Harrison Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond and Margaret Rutherford, continues its season in Christchurch at the Mayfair Theatre. Rex Harrison plays the part of a celebrated novelist who wants to write a book about spiritualism, and when he invites a well-known medium to dinner, the fun gets under wary. The shade of his first wife appears, but only the astonished novelist is able to see or hear her, and his behaviour leads his present wife to believe that there is “something strange in the air." Many hilarious sequences follow.
