COMEDY
T9100 The Man in the Mirror. (6 Reels). Starring Edward Everett
Horton with Genevieve Tobin and Garry Marsh. Psychologica! in theme, but broadly farcical in interpretation, this comedy of a nit-wit who involuntarily plunges into a Jekyll and Hyde existence and ultimately finds, in the battle between his two personalities, his real self, is as novel as it is amusing. Jeremy Dilke gazes in the mirror and there meets the reflection of his other self which steps out and dominates the life of Jeremy the First with amazing and riotous results.

They become very merry; the tramp overturns a suit of armour on to Guy's head, makes off with the silver and Guy is transported back to the Golden Age.
