PRINCE EDWARD
VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES Teaming with the colour and thrills of city life, and with a human element underlying it all, “Becky,” the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture to be shown at the Prince Edward Theatre to-night, takes you right into the heart of a little shop girl who is transformed into a revue favourite. Her trials and escapades pulsate with life itself; and laughs, heart-throbs, tears and thrills chase each other in swiftly moving sequences. ' Sally O’Neill, the heroine of “Mike,” “Slide, Kelly, Slide” and “Frisco Sally Levy,” has never appeared more winsome and lovable than she does in the title role, and reveals an unsuspected depth of feeling in the emotional scens. Playing opposite Miss O’Neill is that sterling actor, Owen Moore. He plays the role of “Dan Scarlett, a “man about town,” who is regenerated by his love for *“Becky.” The part has plenty of scope for the whimsical humour of this player which he combines with some splendid emotional acting. “The Black Diamond Express” will also be screened and a first-class vaudeville programme presented tonight.
