PRINCE EDWARD
TWO COMEDIES Harold Lloyd is now at the Prince Edward Theatre in his latest picture, “Speedy,” and it may be well recorded that the bespectacled comedian has succeeded again in surpassing his previous successes with his latest offering. As typical of all Harold Lloyd productions, entirely new and highly humorous situations and “gags” have been injected, which serve to stamp the comedian as the greatest in motion pictures to-day, and probably for some time to come. “Speedy” is everything the name implies. It is a fast-moving story, which keeps the patron sitting on the edge of his chair every minute. To the dyed-in-the-wool movie fan, he may assume there is nothing new left in movie craft that would smack of novelty, but in “Speedy” that fan is due for a most -welcome surprise. Harold has fairly outdone himself along these lines. A second comedy is also shown in “Plastered in Paris,” the latest picture of the amusing happenings of Sammy Coh en. In continuance of the Greater Movie Season the Prince Edward will show another fine programme to-morrow in “Not Quite a Lady” and “The Glorious Trail.”
