PICKETT’ RN T TR P PALACEN S LAST 2 TIMES TONIGHT GEORGE SIDNEY and | CHARLIE MURRAY n A sure cure for the blues It’s Some Comedy Also THE GUMPS and M-G-M NEWS BT o | ‘ Coming Tuesday: | | “FINDERS KEEPERS” and Vaudeville under auspices | American Legion Auxiliary ‘ Attractions At Theatres 2 SIDNEY AND MURRAY IN COMEDY, PALACE \‘ f you're afraid of hysterical from laughter, shouldn’t under any circumstances miss “Flying Romeos,” the First National comedy featurin; that inimitable pair, George Sidne; and Charlie Murray, which opened its local engagement at the Pal ‘Theatre to highly enthusiastic au- diences. | Never have Sidney and Murray | been funnier since First National wisely put them together as the| screen’s first comedy team. If you can imagine George and| Charlie inadvertently becoming aviators when they don’t know any | more about flying than they do about the fourth dimension, start- ing on an airplane flight to China only to discover that their pilot | knéws less about it than they do| and is somewhat off his head in | addition, you have one of the blLll‘i ations—just one of them—which | provoke comedy in this hilarious farce. 4 The opening sequencés of the picture, too, with George and Char- ! lie as barbers, both seeking the| hand of the manicurist, is very funny and gets the picture off to a lively start, which continues and builds as the production unreels. | The orchestra gave a cencert of | Irish selections including “Come ming | youi Back to Erin" “Killarney,” and| Announcement of the engagement of Lupe Velez to Gary Cooper brings to light one of the prettiest romances of filmdom |papers show that Alaskan cities which blossoms under the big kleigs. Here’s the happy pair in one of their happy celluloid moments which to them are very larce part of the United States, “Wearing of the Green.” Stella Jones gave a cello solo “A Little Bit of Sunshine.” “THE CAMPUS FLIRT” | | NOW AT COLISEUM || [ 5| Leave it to Bebe Daniels to| burst forth with something new!| Paramount’s apt comedienne, as dainty and charming as ever, is with us again—this time with a comedy that should win an honor- ary degree. That's the reaction one gets from her latest production, “The Cam- pus Flirt,” which opened at the Coliseum Theatre last night. Bebe's story concerns itself with | the activities of a college girl who | “high hats” everyone failing to| come up to her own ridiculous standard. The girl's subsequent treatment at the hands of her fel- low students provides one with a laugh each second. How she defeats Charlie Paddock, “world’s fastest human,” playing a featured role; how she refuses to| “walk_home” from a boat ride, and | any of a hundred other situations, | will keep you in hysterics. El Bren- | del's inimitable cavorting with Min- | nie, his pet mouse, is a comedy classic. James Hall, the third fea- tured player, makes a creditable screen bow. F"“TAKE A CHANCE | NIGHT,” COLISEUM B3 % On Tuesday and Wednesday of this - week the Coliseum Theatre will offer their first “take a chance night.” By “take a chance,” the manage- ment means that they will not ad- vise what picture they will show on these nights. For 365 days each year pictures are advertised, but on Tuesday and Wednesday they will not advertise the name of the picture. The management says the pic- ture will be a good one and that cvery one who sees it will be more than satisfied, as it is something different. —— INFORMATION WANTED Regarding the whereabouts of Al- fred Deane, served in Canadian Navy.
