MUNICIPAL THEATRE
DOUBLE-FEATURE BILL Based on the successful Londen stage farce, "Oh! Daddy, " the piciyv© which sereens at the Municipal to-night is an excellent example of tlie power of clever direction to develop, from the narrower conlines of a stage presentation, a picturesque, kaleidoscopic confection presenting an infmifcely more varied entertainment. An atmosphere of infectious gaiety is quickly created by Leslie Hcuson (Lord Pye) and Robertson .Hare (Rupert Boddy) who, as a screen team are an unqualified success. " Thunder in the Niglit,"- the mystery melodrama which is the second feature at the Municipal, provides mental exercise for the keen followers of mystery tales and a pleaeant revelation for the admirers of that l'ikable and versatile star, Edmund Lowe, who emerges in an entirely ■ new type of characterisation in this picture. Cleverly written, directed and photographed, "Thunder in the Night" keeps its audiences at a high pitch of suspense with its whirlwind sequence of events in one of the fastest mysterv pictures brouglit to tho, screen.
