AMUSEMENTS.
EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES n THE MIDNIGHT KISS ” WEDNESDAY. ‘•The Midnight Kiss,” Fox Films’ version of “Pigs,” the play that kept Broadway chortling for months, and produced for Fox Films under the direction of Irving Cummings, comes to the Princess Theatre on Wednesday. The charm of the picture lies in the simplicity and human quality of the plot. Tommy Atkins Junior around whose medical experiments and business deals the story revolves is nothing more than a younger son of an average American family. A real boy in every respect with a, licnlthy disregard for the female of the species and big ideas of what he wants to accomplish as a man. -Mildred Hastings is a delightful little miss, a tomboy all her life, whoso right to the swimming hole is never disputed by any of the hoys in the neighbour-j hood. But Mildred is a romanticist and she thinks Tommy Junior is wonderful and is determined to marry him sooner or later. Lenore her sister is' the belle of the town, ruling over her court of adoring swains with all the diplomacy of ati experienced flirt. Spencer Atkins, Tommy’s older brother, is n lawyer by college training and an embryo poet by inclination. Incidentally lie is hopelessly in love with the flirtatious Lenoro and doesn’t quite know what to do about it. The older people in the picture are necessary backgrounds for the children. But it is the affairs of Tommy and Mildred that hold the centre of the stage and provide the romance, comedy and thrills of the picture. Young Richard ’Walling, one of the newest finds and the most promising of the younger juveniles in pictures plays the part of Tommy. Winsome little Janet Gnynor is a thoroughly adorable Mildred. Gene Cameron is the soulful Spencer and Gladys McConnell the flirtatious Lenore. The older members of the east are George Irving, Herbert Prior, Doris Lloyd, Tempo Pigott, Arthur Housman, and Ifodil Posing. A Fox news and comedy also will be shown.
On Friday next Kenneth McDonald and Peggy Montgomery are co-starred in “The Speed Demon.”
