" -MONTE CARLO” TO-XJCHT. The insistent demand of motion picture audiences for fast-moving, refreshing comedies, with plausible stories and natural situations, is adequately met by the new Motro-Ooldwyn-Mayer film “ Monte Carlo,” coming to the Princess Theatre to-night, supported hv Za.su Pitts. Hoy D'Arcy, Karl Dane and Trixie ITiganza. Sparkling with whiinisical humour, replete with hearty laughs and distinguished by the excellent, work of the strong east, 11 Monte Carlo" is undeniabVy one of the finest and most entertaining light comedies Australian and Xew Zealand audiences have been privileged to see. The story revolves around Lhe adventures of three

small town girls who win a newspaper popularity contest, entitling them to a long holiday in Monte Carlo. Once the action is transferred overseas the film becomes, in addition to a romantic narrative, a brilliant satire upon a certain type of tourist, hew Cody is again presented as a comedian, and his superb performance confirms the judgment of Aletro-Goldwyn-Alnyor. FTo has a particularly delightful manner, and with M.iss Olmstead. a charming and accomplished player, gains the utmost from the farcical situations abounding through the film. It was directed in masterly fashion by Christy Cabanne. who is an adept at conceiving and introducing into his productions hilariouslv humorous effects.

A scenic, screen snapshots and a good comedy will also he shown tonight.
