TYPICAL COCKNEY COMEDY
New Zealand picturegoers will shortly be introduced to a very clever English character actress in the person of Mary Brough. After a long and successful stage career she made her first screen appearance in “Beauty and the Barge,” and since then has added many humorous touches to other films by her portrayal of coster-women,' liower-women, and other well-known London characters. And now she is ranked among the famous comedy stars of the screen. Her biggest success undoubtedly is in the screen version of the world famous music hall success “A Sister To Assister ’Er.” In this film she play-s the double role of Mrs. May and Mrs. Le Browning. Mrs. May' is a disreputable but lovable cockney woman, whose pastime is gin-drinking, and for certain reasons, creates a mythical sistei* in the person of Mrs. Le Browning. “A Sister To Assist ’Er” will shortly be released by British Dominions Films.
