This is one of the many inter- esting situations in “New Broom: a Willlam de Mille production f Paramount, coming to the Liber Sunday. It is the simple story of a father trying to teach his son the fundamentals of life. Hamliton, as the son, has grad uated from college filled with a set of brand new, untried ideas about everything. He is young optimistic, and a firm believer in the glad hand, the kind wosd the ever-open pocketbook. He is engaged at the opening of the picture to Phyllis Haver, a mercenary littlé piece of fem- Ininity.
