PRINCESS

TWO COMEDY FEATURES When “White Pants Willie,” Johnny Hines’s latest First National picture, comes to the Princess Theatre to-

educated goose. The picture is an adaptation of Elmer Davis’s “Liberty” Magazine story, and it was directed by Charles Hines. “Stop Flirting,” the new Christie comedy which will also be shown tonight at the P.rincess Theatre, is a pure comedy-farce, a little frothy and nonsensical, and designed exclusively to yield entertainment and laughs. One is supposed to decide for oneself whether or not the plot is based on a moral. All that the picture promises to do is to call forth laughs. The setting of the picture is a rather fashionable seaside resort, at which the hero finds himself entertaining a crowd of unwelcome guests, most of them flirtatious youths visiting at the request of the host’s fiancee. He determines to cure her of flirting by giving her a good scare, but his trick is discovered by the lovely lady, and she makes him do a pretty dance before she takes him back to her heart. The farce is plaj'ed by an exceptional cast, including John T. Murray, Wanda Hawley, Ethel Shannon, Vera Steadman, Jimmie Adams.
