GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT "A Warm Cornel*" scintillates with mirthful situations and witty lines, handled by the , greatest of British comedy players, Leslie Henson, while its rapid action and constantly changing and often elaborate sets, add to the general brightness. Briefly, the picture tells of the adventures of a millionaire cornplaster maker, named Corner, who slipped away from his doting but middle-aged wife to the joys of the Lido. There he became entangled with a designing young lady. He bolted in a panic, when he found her to be married, but was followed home by her and a crowd of others who had all been witr nesses of his carryings on. Thereupon followed a desperate attempt by Cor- ( ner to keep his doings from his wife's
knowledge. With each arrival from the Lido his plight became more agonising, and his efforts at concealment more outrageously comic, till he finally escap'ed by planting his escapades on a pal, who had really manoeuvred him into his "warm corner," and, as he reckoried, deserved no sympathy! The picture runs along on a rising note of hilarity, and there is not a dull moinent in it.
