’THE SCARLET HONEYMOON.’-
Allan Hale has made a big success of his first picture as a director: “The Scarlet Honeymoon,” which is screened at the Town Hall to-night. He has taken a slice of real life and developed it sincerely and naturally. He has taken an average family and made it act as a family would act. He has taken Kay Thorpe (played by Shirley Mason), a cheerfud clean minded little stenographer, and has plunged her into a romance which made all her fairy tales come true —and yet . has resisted the temptation to make it a lurid or impossible romance. There is no “eternal triangle” in this picture. A comedy “The Race,” “Feathered Fisherman” an interest film and Fox News complete to-night’s programme. Prices as usual.
