GRAND
TWO BIG PICTURES s?li© new programme to be shown at the Grand Theatre this evening includes, “Not Quite a Lady,” which has been acclaimed as the best film comedy made for years. It contains more real humour, intelligent humour and more audience humour than any other film of its kind yet produced. There is better acting, more sincere characterisations and more intelligent direction than any of the big super productions. “Not Quite a Lady” is a triumph for British productions that must surely convince the most hardened anti-British film man and the public generally that the great British film is at last a reality. The story tells of a youthful member of the aristocracy who falls madly in love with a beautiful revue star whose vulgar manners shocked every- “ Tempest,” the second attraction, is an outstanding drama of the Russian Revolution, starring the famous stage actor, John Barrymore. Camilla Horn appears as the princess beloved by Barrymore, an officer of the Tsarist army, and Louis Wolheim appears as his loyal soldier friend.
