PRINCE EDWARD
“EXIT SMILING”
There is little of the glamour and romance of stage life revealed in “Exit rfmilng.” the new picture at the Prince Edward Theatre this week. Rather does it depict the every-day aspect of an actor's existence. This is done with delicious whimsicality, and in a seriocomic manner that often borders on farce. As a result, the production strikes a refreshingly original note. Undoubtedly the star performance is thUt of Beatrice Lillie, who makes her first venture into film work in the role of the insignificant drudge of a travelling theatrical company. In private life. Miss Lillie is Lady Robert Peel, wife of a famous British peer, and is i a prominent figure on the English musical comedy stage. Jack Piekford , appears with her in “Exit Smilng,” i which is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pro- • duction.
