ROMANCE OF YOUTH AND LOVE DELIGHTS FIRST NIGHT CROWD Cut No, 22 Cut 30c Mat roc Bernice Claire, Walter Pidgeon and Edward Everett Horton in “Kiss Me Again” Bernice Claire, Walter Pidgeon, June Collyer Ed Horton and Frank McHugh Here In Gay Parisian Romance (Review Featuring the Story) If spontaneity of applause is to be taken as an indication of approval, the response of last night’s audience at the Theatre, to ‘‘Kiss Me Again,’’ places it among the biggest hits of the year. And according to the opinion of the present reviewer, it deserves to be so classed. There is a glow about “Kiss Me Marie, sent by papa to the Maison Cecile to get her trosseau, has been iecung Ulo teu 3s a fiance meets Fifi. Papa descends on the establishment to find out why Paul spends so much time there, and discovers that his son is to elope that night with the bewitching Fifi. In rage the old man goes to her apartment to pay her off. She refuses the check until the general convinces her that Paul’s_ career would be ruined by marriage to her. When Paul comes later—she explains that she has been making a dupe of him. As he leaves, in dejection she tears up the check. Both Paul and Rene go with the army to Algeria. Fifi’s great ambition had been the stage, and she now manages to get to Italy, and wins renown. Paul’s father, not knowing who she really is, invites her to a ball given in honor of his sons return from Africa. It is not necessary to tell more. The story, always living, gay, wistful, more than once strikes the really tragic note. The interest never flags, but grows in intensity to the last fadeout. You really must not fail to see “Kiss Me Again.” — Beautiful Bernice Claire plays Fifi, Rene is done amusingly by Edward Everett Horton. Walter Pidgeon is the romantic Paul. Marie is played by June Collyer, Francois by Frank MecHagh, The gouty count by Claude Gillingwater, Mme. Cecile by Judith Voselli and the raging general de Vilefranche by Albert Gran. NOW PLAYING of the man who created the characters and the story, had taken possession of director, players and everyone concerned. There is a youthful enthusiasm, an abandon, as if it all had been done for a lark, and just for the love of doing it. The background of the story is in itself glamorous, for the pellmell action takes place in Italy, in Algeria and in gay Paree. “Kiss Me Again” is thronged with gorgeous girls in gorgeous folderols of the latest mode. There are scads of soldiers and officers in gold lace and brilliant reds and blues—and all is taken in natural colors. “Kiss Me Again” begins in the Maison Cecile, a smart fashion salon of Paris, patronized by ladies of fashion and gay boulevardiers, and presided over by the magnificent Madame Cecile herself. The rendezvous is most interesting to us, be ant butterfly of Paris, who sews for the Madame and makes love on the side—clandestinely to Paul de St. Cyr—fierce and mustachioed ancient general—who has arranged for Paul’s marriage to his daughter Marie.
