Cinema

Coming to the Princess (Kerridge-Odeon). This second part completes the epic Russian film of Mikhail Sholokov's enormous Cossacky bollocky novel. A mite better than "Gone With The Wind".

"A Hole in the Head"

Coming to the Majestic Theatre (Kerridge-Odeon). As usual with Frank Capra films, somewhat sentimental, but brilliantly comic as well. Edward G. Robinson is seen in a comedian's role. Frank Sinatra is as offhand as ever.

"The Golden Age of Comedy"

Coming to an Amalgamated Theatre. An incredibly fine collection of sequences from the one and two-reefer comedies of Hal Roach and Mack Sennett. Performers include Ben Turpin, Will Rogers, The Keystone Cops, Charlie Chase and Laurel and Hardy. Here at last is a fair representation of the mad inventiveness and superb VISUAL comedy of 35 years ago !

"South Pacific"

At the Kings Theatre (Amalgamated). Your very first show in Todd-AO Opinions of the film vary, but it is intermittently good, and the new medium has interest. Preceded by an impressive Todd-AO short.
