Lovers of good comedy who does not appreciate a rollick- ing laugh once in a while?-will have their last opportunity to see the F.B.O. version of the New York stage success, "Kosher Kitty Kelly," to-day and to-night at the Majestic Theatre, Kowloon. The picture gives a delightful in- sight into the life of Gotham's In Bags, Packela, Sets, and Single- East Side, and is replete with screamingly funny situations, which have been cleverly bullt up by the director, James Horne, who has wielded the megaphone on many of the best comedy hits
of recent years.
Viola Dana gives a thoroughly loyable characterization of the little Irish girl in the title role, and is ably supported by Tom Forman, who is convincing and admirable as the warm-hearted Irish policeman.
