AMUSEMENTS.
EVERYBODY’S PICTURES.
“POTIPHAR’S WIFE.”
Roland Frankau is taking an important role in the British picture, based on Edgar Middleton’s sensational play success, to be screened tonight.
The laughs are the only thing heard, and as talkie audiences very rarely ap- ' plaiid a picture much of the dialogue may be missed if the laughter coming from the audience continues too long. Another difficulty is that, of judging how long a laugh the humorous lines will get. A solution of the problem is the ingenuity used by the director of a. picture to inject items of pantomin. following the laughter, Roland Fnuikini. 8.8. C. comedian, declares his broadcast experience is a tremendous assistance, as a wireless entertainer must always guess the effect of his jokes on his unseen audience. “Potiphar’s Wife” is Roland Frankau’s first talkie, in which lie appears with Laurence. Oliver, Nora Swinburne, Norman McKinnell, and Guy Newall. Maurice Elvey who has distinguished himself both with British and American productions, was responsible for the direction of “Potiphar’s Wife.” A good programme of supports will also be shown.
