ROYAL, KINGS LAND
“PAINTING THE TOWN" “Painting the Town,” the photo-play to be shown at the Theatre ItoySl, Kingsland. is without doubt one of the funniest pictures seen in Auckland for a long time. It keeps the audience in gales of laughter from start to finish, and proves to be excellent entertanment for all ages and classes. There is nothing subtle in the humour of this photo-comedv. nevertheless its rapid succession of laughable situations, good gags, and funny sub-titles serve to keep one at the laughing point through reel after reel. Credit for most of the fun in this offering goes to Olenn Try on. a young comedian, hitherto little known. In the role of a small-town Smar: Aleck he contributes a continuous stream of comedy. He is a newcomer among the field of popular screen comedians, but judging 'rom his work in this picture he is due for fame and fortune. He Is almost the whole show, although there is no doubt but that much credit also should go to William J. Craft, the director, and Harry O. Hoyt, who wrote the store from which the picture was adapted
