EDENDALE

“TEA FOR THREE” Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle are the co-stars in “Tea for Three,” which will be shown to-night at the Edendale Theatre. Cody is entertainment itself in his role of a jealous husband, who believes in censoring the male guest list every day, while Aileen Pringle is particularly charming as the wife. Owen Moore completes the triangle as the family friend who induces the wife to undertake a “jealousy cure” for her husband. The working out of this “jealousy cure,” which culminates in some very fashionable yachting scenes, is irrepressibly funny and thrilling. The second feature is “Eve’s Leaves” starring Lea trice Joy. Fritz Feld, who has one of the leading roles with Norma Talmadse in “The Dove,” was discovered by Max Reinhart playing grotesque comedy roles in a Berlin cabaret. Reinhart was so interested in the young actor’s humour and vitality and the effect it had on the audience that he sent for him. Within a short time young Feld became an assistant director in the Reinhart organisation. Soon after this he began acting for the camera.
