One recalls to mind 1 Sunshine Susie ’ as falling into this category. ‘ Talking Feet,’ scheduled for exhibition to-morrow at the St, James, writes another chapter in this class. So full of happiness, so full of song and laughter, so human, simple, so delightfully dilforent, yet presenting famous stars, comedians, and introducing world-renowned hands, no wonder this lovable film has created such extraordinary interest wherever screened, making fresh attendance records. Musically, the picture depicts Mr William TTeughan, Scottish baritone, well remembered in New Zealand from his tours in past years, assisted by the Scaforth Highlander Band and Dagenham Girl . Pipers. Mark Hambourg, also_remembered for his piano recitals in New Zealand, presents 14 of his most talented pupils on 14 pianos, and himself plays a Chopin solo. Furthermore, there is the thrilling battleship climax which introduces the world-famous band ot the Royal Marines and the champion dancer of Kngland, little Hazel Ascot, 'The three Cockney comedians will keep vou in happy mood throughout one of the most charming pictures seen in Dunedin for many a long day.
