Really Joyous Comedy At The Palace Theatre To-day
WINIFRED SHOTTER’S STARRING ROLE IN “THE LOVE CONTRACT”
“The Love Contract,” an extremely refreshing and joyous comedy romance, is the new British Dominion’s film which commences at the Palace matinee to-day. For
the first time, Winifred Shotter (the popular leading lady of Tom Walls-Ralph Lynn Ben Travers’ farces) appears in a starring role.
The plot concerns the merry escapade of a charming girl who, suddenly losing all her money, becomes c.haffeur to the financier who brought about her financial ruin. Its fantasy is so delicious that criticism of the improbable in life is altogether discounted. Who cares whether a woman chauffeur can entertian her fashionable friends at a garden party on her afternoon off'? Who cares if she carries in her “kit bag,” or whatever the receptacle in which women chauffeurs carry their clothes, a suit of “shorts” for the “daily morning dozen,” following the breakdown of the car-on an all-night journey? What tho picture-going public is concerned about is entertainment, and iu “The Love Contract” they are said to be regaled with laughter, music, song, aand cheerfulness. Dainty Winifred Shotter is fascinating in her saucy chauffeur’s uniform, and presents an entirely new characterisation from her previous roles. Assisting her in the vastly amusing entertainment are Owen Nates, Gibb McLaughlin and Miles Mai Icson.
Well diversified short subjects will be seen on the first part of the programme.
