‘THE BOHEMIAN GIRL’

LAUREL AND HARDY FDR EMPIRE The names of Laurel and Hardy are sufficient to establish the success of a film comedy, but, when the picture is claimed to be even better than ‘ Bonnie Scotland ’ and ‘ Fra Uiavolo,’ something extraordinarily good may be expected. The latest production of the famous pair, ‘ The Bohemian Girl,’ comes to the Empire to-morrow. This is a most unusual production for the reason that the inevitable comedy of the famous pair is super-imposed on tho story and music of Balfc's delightful opera. The story is burlesqued to a certain extent, but in outline it is the plot of the opera. Antonio Moreno, Jacqueline Wells, Mae Busch, James Fin Jayson, William P. Carleton, and lastly (hut far from least) four-year-old Darla Hood, who essays the role of Princess Arline as a child, interpret their respective roles in a convincing and entertaining manner. Stan and “ Ollio ” are happy-go-lucky members of a gypsy band. The latter’s wife, Mae Busch, is enamoured of Antonio Moreno, a dashing and romantic nomad. But so is the Gipsy Queen, and right here is where the complications start. To prove her love for “ Devilshoof.” Mae, as Mrs Hardy, kidnaps the baby daughter of Count Arnheim, when he flogs Moreno for skulking abour tho grounds of his palace Leaving the baby with her henpecked husband, she induces “ Devilshoof ” to elope with her. There will be an outstanding associate programme with ‘ The Bohemian Girl,’ including ‘ The Hit-and-Run Driver.’
