PRINCE EDWARD
“EXIT SMILING” “Exit Smiling,” the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture to be screened to-night at the Prince Edward Theatre, is a witty and subtle burlesque on the travelling companies of pre-motion picture days. The picture depicts in a laughable manner the often agonising “melodramas” of these troupes—in which lost cues, forgotten parts. falling scenery, and guns that exploded at the wrong time, are all incidental to the performance. The star of the picture is a delightful new comedienne—Beatrice Lillie, an iodl of the London musical comedy stage, who is making her debut in motion picture. In private life Miss • Lillie is Lady Robert Peel, wife of a distinguished British peer. In this, her first picture, Jack Pickford is the leading male player.
“Service for Ladies” realises an ambition of many months on the part of Adolphe Menjou. In this picture Menjou achieves the desire to play this Ernest Vadja story of a Parisian head waiter in love with an heiress, that has obsessed him for more than a year, but one thing or another has always intervened. Menjou declares that he lias portrayed the best i*Re of his career in this Paramount picture.
