"BED AND BREAKFAST,'

Here is a new and delightful recipe for focal cinema-goers” Take a newly-married woman (Jane Baxter) and another girl's fiancé (Richard Cooper), a dignified and pompous vicar with his very proper" spouse, a bibulous Cock- ney" bookie" and his blousy wife and precocious sod, a couple of dyed-in-the-wol burglars and an inebrinted Scots taxi-driver. Mix well together on a rainy night in in a modernistic art studio with two bedrooms and add later an irato husband and the other man's financée..

Season the mixture with spicy. but delightfully funny dialogue, garnish with intr

bed-

room scenes and dish up piping hot! This is the dish call- ed. "Bed and Breakfast," which will be served to King's Theatre audiences for the next few daya, commencing to-day. It is a delect- able dish containing purely English ingredients with the exception of u good dash of Bootch (Johnny Walker), and congratulations are duo to that celebrated British Chef —Gaumont—for giving un

such an intriguing and sparkling delicacy

Those of us who like good English food, well-seasoned and with a auspicion of mustard and red pepper, should make a point of sampling the excellent fare provid ed, at the King's Theatre,
