Mr. Balderston's charming and successful play has lost little in its transition to the screen. It might be objected that the screen has made the throwback to the eighteenth century too explicit, and thus jeopardized the theme by an unnecessary contact with reason. But so much of the delicacy of this journey between centuries is the mind and heart of a single man has been preserved that the objection would not be fair. Leslie Howard is just as convincing as he was on the stage, and his witty pantomime responds admirably to the great opportunities, and the greater responsibilities, of the screen. Miss Heather Angel is, if different from Miss Margalo Gilmore, quite as delightful; she has caught the tragedy of time in another way, but she has caught it just as surely. The settings for Berkeley Square, venturing out of doors where the stage could not go, are excellent. Stage coaches, rural England, eighteenth century London chimes and cobblestones; all are true and unexceptionable. The Uptown has provided Charlie Ruggles, in a comedy of marriage and philandery, as a light and agreeable breather.

Stage shows are no longer being shown at the Uptown.
