(BY OUR FILM CRITIC.]
Adam and Evil" is one of those matrimonial farce comedies which generally provide good entertain- ment for an hour or so. Adam is
the hero, Lew. Cody, and the Evil only exists in the mind of a friend of Adam's 'wife...
Adam Trevelyan is something of A philanderer and he'cavers his tracks by a story that his twin brother has arrived from Brazil. When his wife catches him in a cabaret he pretends to be the twin brother and behaves 30 affec- tionately that the wife thinks she has married the wrong man. The arrival of the brother himself pro- vides the necessary complications, and leads to the- happy ending.of Adam reconciled to his wife.
It is light amusing stuff which makes little demand on your intel ligence, in fact the sort of picture to see either on a dull afternoon, or in company with a lively party
after dinner.
Low Cody acts well in his dual role of the twin brothers and: Aileen Pringle has the pot very grateful part of the suspicious wife. Thevamp is played by Gwen Lee who looks the part thoroughly, while Roy d'Arcy has a small role.

SIR-Kindly permit me to refer to the item in your Saturday's issue, in which the passing of Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson was recorded.
A very interesting short film pre- cedes Adam and Evil" lt is called Cruising the Arctic and is the film record of the voyage of the Morrissey. Close ups of a walrus, and a polar bear in the The statement that she was a water are unusual and interesting" Christian Science Leader " is aa are the pictures of the Esquim evidently misleading, since Mrar aux, the adults in a mase of furs Stetson withdrew from the Chris and the babies quite naked. This tian Science movement as founded is quite the most interesting film by Mrs. Eddy, over twenty years of the sort which I remember, since ago.-Yours truly, it combines a human element of humour and real endeavour with the pictures of arctic scenery.
