"A Ticket in Tatt's"

To judge by its title, "A Ticket in Tatt's," a new sporting comedy, the pro-ductlon of which will be commenced by the Efftec Film Co. at it's Melbourne Studios in the first week of July, should be of some interest to Tasmanians. That the dialogue will be somewhat

more lively than that of the average imported talkie is guaranteed by the fact that the scenario has been written by Mr. C. J. Dennis, of "Sentimental Bloke" and "Ginger Mick" fame. The leading man in the production will be Mr. George Wallace, whose rollicking comedy has made him a most popular personality locally, and, so reports say, has earned him much applause over-seas. It seems that the kernel ot the funny business will be found in the fact

that Mr. Wallace, who certainly is no light weight, will take the part of an ex-jockey who has put on so much avoir-dupois that from a professional point of view he has become of no practical use whatever. Being more lucky than most members of the riding profession who develop a waistline, he will appear as the trainer of a speedy quadruped aptly or inaptly named Hotfoot. The climax is reached at the Melbourne Cup at Flemington. One has not been able to gather any Information as to whether the outfit intends to go over to Tas-mania to "shoot" an actual drawing of the famous Tasmanian consultation on the spot.
