MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. Ralph Lynn and Tom Walls are together again for the first time since "Plunder," and the film includes in its cast those other famous members of the Aldwych team — Winifred Shotter, Mary Brough and Robertson Hare. A part is also piayed by Claude Hulbert, as the result of which he has now a contract to appear exclusively in a series of 3. and D. pictures. Roy Fox's Band of English radio and night club fame, plays throughout the production, providing what is in effect a musical commentary rather than an accompaniment, since Mr. Herbert Wilcox has used the music to supplement the action, and to achieve many amusing effects. Indeed, music is stated to set and sustain the tempo of "A Night Like This," in novel fashion. Many of the numbers performed hy Roy Fox's Band were specially written. Winifred Shotter is star of Moonstone Club, above which the villianous Kosky carries on a gamhlingestablishment. He falls foul of Clifford Tope (Ralph Lynn) and P.C. Michael Mahoney (Tom Walls) when he tries to hlackxnail Cora. The result is a wild melange of foolery in the best Aldwych tradition. Mary Brough, and Robertson Hare, who established themselves as favourites in earlier British talkies, also occupy stellar roles.
