STRAND
TWO FINE TALKIES The Strand Theatre audience again last night gave uproarious evidence of their approval of the screen version of the Mapes-Collier racing hit, "The Hottentot.” A more ludicrous figure than Edward Everett Horton as S. Jay Harrington, th© lovelorn tenderfoot, who has been edged into the favour of Betty Fairfax of old Virginia, by false tales told by a matchmaker (of real folks, not ot racers) to the effect that he is an experienced horseman. Patsy Ruth Miller is charming as the enthusiastic horse fancier who believes S. Jay to be a real hero of t.ne turf. "The Hottentot” is one of those rare comedies which tickle the funnybones of people of all ages and conditions. A second talkie attraction is being presented at the Strand programme in "Roadhouse Nights,” a stirring drama of love and adventure set against a background of rum-runners and the antagonism of American newspapers. Helen Morgan and Charles Ruggles are the stars in this tense drama, in which detectives, politics, cabarets, murder, and not a little comedy all find a place.
