EVERYBODY’S

“RASH PRIVATES” ■Rash Privates,” an enjoyable war comedy, starring Malcolm McGregor and Lya de Putti, is now being shown at the Everybody's Theatre. In the story John Smith, a rash private in the American Army of Occupation in a little German village, falls in love with Anne, daughter of the stiff and proud Major von Hartmann, in whose home he is billeted. The town authorities, headed by von Hartmann, publish an edict to discourage the fraternising of soldiers with town girls. The offending women are to have their hair shorn as a punishment and warning to others. On the night preceding the departure of the troops, Anne disobeys the edict and meets John in the garden, where she accepts his proposal of marriage. The authorities see them in embrace and rush into the house to tell von Hartmann, who is heartbroken when he is compelled to shear the hair of his own daughter. The second attraction on the programme, “Pals in Paradise,” is a Peter B. Kyne story of a modern gold rush in California, and stars Rudolph Schildkraut and May Robson.
