“SPLINTERS” AT THE PLAZA
The British war-time comedy, “Splinters,” telling the story of the founding of the concert company which appeared at the “Bra Sat Theatre” behind the lines in Flanders, is at the Plaza Theatre.
Much of the humour is characteristically British and could only have been evolved among the conditions under which the “Splinters” revue was born. Notably humorous incidents are the scenes in which two drink-muddled Tommies discuss Lloyd George as they contemplate his portrait and in which two soldiers mistake the identity of the leading lady. The original personnel of the company takes part in the screen version, and includes the comedians, Hal Jones, Lew Luke, Sydney Howard and Nelson Keys, and the clever female impersonator, Reg. Stone. A splendid supporting programme is also being presented, headed by “South Sea Rose,” a glamorous romance, starring Lenore Ulric.
George Bancroft was born in Philadelphia, Pa. He is 6ft 2in tall, of muscular build and weighs 14st. He has dark brown hair and blue eves.
