BRITANNIA
“WHITE PANTS WILLIE” “White Pants Willie,” a First National film, starring Johnny Hines, is being shown at the Britannia Theatre. The picture tells the story- of ‘Willie, who works in a garage and invents a ma.gnetic bumper to save auto tyres from tacks and nails in the roadways. Willie finally rebels against the hardboiled garage owner, dresses up in his white pants, and hies himself to Coid Springs, a fashionable summer resort where he knows the girl of his dreams is stopping with her father. Upon arrival Willie is mistaken for a crack polo player, and is forced to enter a championship match. The embryonic polo player comes through with fly-ing colours after a series of hilarious events. He wins the girl, and also the support of her father, an automobile magnate, who becomes interested in Willie’s invention.
